I appeal to every registered nurse, every practical nurse and every woman with sufficient training to be helpful in this emergency to place her services at the disposal of the United States Health Oificers through the intermediation of the Red Cross to tight this disease. If there ever was a time when the nrrses had a patriotic duty to perform. It is right now. Xo matter what sacrifice of comfort or convenience they must make, they should answer to this call. I appeal to every sick person in the State of Indiana who has a private rurse who can possibly be spared to release that nurse for service and to urge that nurse to take service. There are many people of means who have chronic illnesses and who retain nurses, who could for a week or two or three weeks get along without those nurses. I believe that many of these patients when this appeal reaches them will welcome such a sacrifice to help their country win the war. more especially as their lllnes shas perhaps incapacitated them from other active service. There are many surgical patients in the hospitals who can get along perfectly well after four or five days from their operation by the aid of ward nurses, and who can, without harm to themselves, give up the luxury of having a private nurse for any period longer than their physician says is absolutely esential. Right at this moment and in this emergency the fight against the influenza is one of the most important pieces of war work. Let every citizen consult with himself and see what he ca do to make this fight more successful. Our boys are calling for your aid in the War Work Drive.

These letters are written in .(rood I faith, we are sure, and what they say lis true of the small pait of France j which the average American sees. And 1 H ; fee 1 lilf-rliMtric r-rr- i. . , ntiri.! ! he mUUary zon',. t,,0 imH6itiii lhat j what they say is true of France as a ; whole, and never know and never know what a great wrong they are doing the rest of the country. The military zone, a fairly wide belt extending the length of the battle line, is plentifully supplied with food, it is true. If you are willing to pay a sufficiently high price you can get about anything vou want. The presence of millions and millions of soldiers in this zone, and their willingness to pay the most exorbitant prices for food especially is this true of the American soldier has caused a phenominal flow of foodstiu'fs to this part of France, which has left the rest of the country drained dry. Conditions outside the area under military control, which after all is a very small part of France, are very bad. The civilian population must pay the same prices for food as the soldiers, or they must go without. In the industrial centers almost everyone is engaged in war work, and, receiving high wages, can keep up with the high cost of living 1ut 1,1 tne smaller towns and all through the country districts the people fare ver" badly indeed, They can no longer affor-d butter or cheese: and meat is now beyond their highest aspirations. Even potatoes, upon ! wltieh tlie7 r-Oiil.-? .lrr.T,l i i Tioct i -.-. so high in price, owing to the bad crop this year, that many people cannot buy them at all. Practically the only food which everybody can afford is bread, for the price of bread has been kept low by a government subsidy. Bread, however, is rationed, and the ration is far from sufficient to make up for the lack of other foods. Moreover, the fact that bread is rationed, and that each person has a card entitling him to 10 ounces a day, does not mean that when he presents his ticket at the door of the bakery he is sure to receive 10 ounces. In many places last summer the ticket brought in exchange only half the promised quantity and in other places none at all. POSTPONED j In conformity with the closing order of the state board of health, the big I chamber of commerce dinner that was to j have been held on Thursday evening. the 31st, has been indefinitely postponed. The campaign for new members, however, opens Monday morning with everything set for a successful drive. Citizens, business firms and corporations will be asked to take out memberships classed as follows: individual memberships at $12. do per year; business and fraternal memberships at $2o a year; corporate memberships at $50 a year; sustaining memberships at $100 a year and honorary memberships at $200 a year. The objects as set forth in the subscription pledge are to provide funds to fight for pure water, for more and better parks and playgrounds, for comfort stations, for better public utility service, for economy in city affairs, for better trade conditions, and in order to make our city a better place in which to live. $10,000 has been set as the sum nec essary for the organization to undertake and carry through to a successful conclusion the program of work which they have laid out for the coming year. To do this $5,000 must be raised in individual i icmberships and $5,000 in corporate, sustaining and honorary memberships. GARY MEN ATTENDING DIRECTORS MEETING K. O.

CURE' FOR YANKS -1
By HENRT WOOD Cmted I'ress Staff Correspondent.) HOME. Sept. 17. I By Mail.) The Italian government is completing installation of an American military hospital at the famous Italian springs of Montecatini, between Florence and Pisa. Several leading hotels of the resort have been requisitioned, and American wounded from the Italian front will be taken there for convalescence. The Italian governmetn thus has followed in a general way the example set by France in taking the famous resort of Aix-Ies-bains for an American hospital base in France. Back of the choice of Montecatini for the American hospital base in Italy lies another important motive. It is desired to make the American medical profession and the public generally acquainted with the Montecatini springs, so that after the war Italy may begin sharp competition with the German spas. Although the water of Montecatini have been famous in Italy since the time of the early Romans, very little has been done to make them known. They are the only springs in the world that can compete in every way with those of Karlsbad and other German watering places to which hundreds of thousands of people used to flock from all parts of the world every. year. While the Montecatini springs have a

A strong appeal is being made these dais for membership into the Welfare Association. Kvery resident of the Twin Cities should feel it their personal duty to belong to this organization which is of vital need in the community. The need of the work it not only during an epidemic that Is visited during the present crisis, it is every day need where sickness abounds and goodness knows that there is any amount of it in this community when there is no sign of an epidemic. There is always more ot less sicknes.s among the children and its is said by medical authority that "a soldier in the front line trenches of France has a better chance for his life than a babe in the Calumet region has up to the age of two years." This comparison ought to make people stop and think of the vital necessity that trained nursing care brings about. A fee of two dollars is all that is a-ked for a year's membership in this splendid organization. Do not disregard the health standard of your own community by ignoring the appeal made to you now. Two dollars is a small sum from an Individual to make sick and puny babies grow up strong and to maturity ind live to bless your generosity in solving the problem where health epitome is concerned.

During the last 5 years of his life Verdi went every year to Montecatini for the usual 2 weeks "cure." and he died in the firm belief that the waters of the springs there had prolonged his life a quarter of a century. Every square inch of Montecatini is redolent with memories and souvenirs of Verdi, and partly because of this and partly because of the value of the "cure" itself. Montecatini becomes every summer the great Mecca of Italian musicians. Leoncavallo. Puccini, Mascagni. Caruso, and Tetrazzini often take their "cure" there. Nearly always before leaving the stars give a benefit concert for something or other, in which Verdi music predominates. The half dozen orchestras at the various springs where the wattjf" fs sipped play Verdi. Vast plans have been completed for big casinos, pavilions, and water drink ing places. Because of the large number of hotels that have been requisitioned for the Americans, thousands of Italians were obliged to go without their "cure" this year. The musical colony, however, has teen taken care of, and Tetrazzini already has given her benefit concert and departed. lives of the father, mother and babe. The mother succumbed to the fatal malady a few days ego, the father is in a dying state and there was left a babe of one month for no one to care for it. In the immediate neighborhood there are none who could very well offer to assume such responsibility so there was a scurying: around by the nurse who understood the situation keenly to find reliable people who would take the little Innocent darling into their home and be prepared to care for it. An appeal was to appear today in the issue of this paper seeking a home for the tr.ite of humanity, but the condition in the abode of the dying father and unsatisfactory atmosphere for the babo who was beginnig' to show its neglect brought about quick response from a family in East Chicago who were asked by' Miss Florence Hauswald, the nurse, to take the little one. This is but one of the many cases brought to light, which makes the Welfare Association in East Chicago-Indiana Harbor an invaluable necessity. Weird little gamins fashioned from bright hued yarns and worn by all French soldiers with superstituious purport, found their way across seas and were delivered into the hands of Miss Bess Edgar of the Larson Apartments yesterday. They came from a stalwart soldier, not of the French origin, how jever. but believed to have adopted the wearing of these fanciful little figures in sympathy w ith the i rench idea. So pretty are they that Miss Edgar is displaying them to all of her friends and they are cherishing the hope that some kind soldier friends will remember them with these tiny odd tokens. Mrs. Thelma Potts AVilcox of Hemlock street has everything in readiness to depart next week for a pleasure sojourn dowri through the East, stopping at Canton, where she will visit former classmates of hers when she attended the Mount Marie College of that city and then will go to Cleveland and Pittsburg to be the guest of relatives and friends.

Look back nr ctifMhood nays Remember the "dose" mother IneUtc-a on castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought asains: taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physicsimply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy: they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. Adv. Inc.
