Keokuk people are being- asked to purchase numbers of a booklet "Our Tuberculosis Children,'* the business ethics of which have been expoed in a bulletin from the National associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. This bulletin was sent to the Keokuk Industrial association in February by Phillip P. Jacobs, sec retary, and It warns the local people that only a very small per cent of the money given ever reaches the cause for which the magazine is being sold. There are lots of calls for more needy purposes than the support of a tuberauloeis home in New Mexico, and if Keokuk people have dimes to spend they can much better spend them for the United Charities and the Humane society. Tlie letter which was written to the Industrial association by Dr. Jacobs says: May Wish to Act. "Are they working In your city? "The January Issue of the bulletin of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculos is is enclosed. The association de sires to call your attention to the ar ticle on the Children's National Tub erculosis society. We fbedieve you will be Interested 'In the facts present ed and if "Our Tuberculosis Chil dren," tho magazine of the Children's National Tuberculosis society is be ing sold in your city, you may desire to take some action in the matter." This 1« the first time that the mag azine has appeared here, and was be ing sold today throughout the busi ness district, The Association's Report. Following is an excerpt from the report of the.National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis: "The funds received from the sale of this magazine are devoted to tho maintenance of an Institution at Ala mogordo, N. Mi, known as Mountain ayr. which according to the magazine and other published statements of -the society is known as a home for tub erculosis 'children. The magazine Is sold by solicitors, mostly women, in offices, stores and on the street. State agencies or districts are bought by the agents, who, in turn, secure solicitors either on a commission or salary basis, generally the former. "Ordinarily the society allows 40 per cent commission to the solicitors: 20 per cent to the district or loc»' agent. The other forty going to tne home office. When solicitors are sell ing out of town ot at a distance from the district office, they are allowed 50 per cent commission. Thus when the 20 per cent Is deducted for the dis trict agent, only SO per cent Teaches the home office. Of the 80 or 40 per cent which reaches the home .office, the expense of publication and dis tribution of the magazine and the In cidental executive expense of the of fice is deducted and what little is left probably goes to the Mtountainayr home." This is not the only magazine that Is being sold in Keokuk for this tub erculosis work. Report have been obtained on the most of them from authentic sources and It is of course up to the local people to decide wheth* er they want to contribute to the many sources of real need here at home or whether they will contribute towards these magazines. Keosauqua Pioneer Dead. KfJO-SAUQTJA, Iowa, July 6.— Thomas H. Teal, a 'highly respected pioneer of this county, died at his home, one mile to the northwest of Utica, "Tuesday morning, July 4.

REPEAL IS VAUD, OPINION STATES jUnanlmwii Front Is Presented by Iowa Supreme Court In Its Ruling on All Four Counts, LADD WRITES FINDINGS Temperance Faction Can Find Muoh of Congratulation in Decis ion From lowtt Court. The mulct repeal law which closed saloons in Iowa Jan. 1, 1976, Is valid and constitutional, the Iowa supreme court ruled Thursday afternoon in affirming the case of the state vs. John Hill, appellant. The action was begun in Davenport by three saloon ists to test the new law. The opinion of the court Is a solid victory for the temperance faction, says the Des Moines Register. The court was unanimous In upholding the mulct repeal law, and dismissed the contention of the liquor faction in each instance by stating that "none of the points raised are fairly debat able and we entertain no doubt in finding the repealing statute invulner able to the objections interposed." The court does not leave enough of the case to fight out in an effort for a rehearing. It is believed, however, that the wets will ask a rehearing. History of Case. The mulct repeal law was passed by the thirty-sixth general assembly. It directed that every saloon in Iowa close on Jan. 1, 1916. All the grog shops did close. On Jan. 3, 1916, three, saloons of Davenport were opened and sales of liquor were made to provide grounds for a test of the closing law. Actions were begun and the Scott county district court upheld the law, handing down a ruling April 26. Attorney General Cossou asked the supreme court to advance the hear ing on appeal. This waa dohe and the case was submitted at the May period. Ladd Writes. Justice Scott M. Ladd wrote the opinion He states that the liquor faction attacked the mulct law on four counts that the title was faulty that the supplement to the code, 1913 was not in effect—being withcut an index when the general assembly was in session that a statement of consent was in force in Davenport and the city of Davenport waa entitled to the revenue expected from saloons that Davenport Is a special charter city and not included under the repeal law. The court holds that the title is sufficient that the absence of an index to the supplement did not af fect the statutes as it was not a part of it and only provided as a conven ience. The court holds that the state is sovereign and can do as It pl«ases with regard to giving citics the right to tax or not to tax property or busi nesses. ,i. .'• ...••/• •HP TONIGHT JEWISH MEN FLOCK 70 CALL TO Hundreds of Members of This Race Respond to Call to Colors and Will Forsake Their Lives of Pmco. IN EVERY OTHER WAR History of This Country la Replete With Deeds of Jewish Fighting Men Who Uphold Honor of America. Although the Jew is beit known In the vocations of peace, yet, during the past week In the furore created by the Mexican crisis, when President Wil son issued his call for the militia hun dreds of Jewish young men responded with patriotic spirit to the call of their country. The national guard regiments of Chicago include a considerable num ber of Jewish members serving as privates and high commanding offi cers. Among the well known men are: Colonel Milton J. Foreman. Captain Theodore W. David. Major Abel Davis. Captain Samuel Slawitsky. Major Gustavus M. Blech. Sargeant Harry Schallman. Captain W. A. Rosenfleld. Colonel Jacob Frank. Lieutenant Ellas B. Moss. Lieutenant J. W. Jacobs. The store of Rothschild ft Co. and Slegel Cooper & Co., have announced that they will hold the position of militia meh till they will return and will also look after the needs of the dependent relatives in the meantime. A fact not generally known is that the percentage of Jews serving in the American army and navy is greater in proportion to their popu lation in this country, than that of any other religious sect. This state ment Is rather astonishing In view of the clamor that Is often made against the immigrant, descrying his love for the land of his adoption. Never has the Jew grasped the musket for the mere thrill of the fight, but when a vital, moral prin ciple demands support, then only does he abandon the pasture ot peace for the arena of conflict. During the war of tha revolution it is estimated that there were 3,000 Jews in America and when the shadows of despair fell across the cause of independence, Jewish pat riotism illuminated its councils. Jews not only served with distinction, but contributed lavishly to the American cause. At the time of the Mexican war, the Jewish population of the United States waB 15.000 and a goodly num ber followed the fortunes of the stars and stripes. In the civil war, whose convulsions shook the continent, American citi zens of Jewish faith lavished life and treasure in unstinted abundance for their country. A record imperfectly compiled shows that 7,884 American citizens of Jewish faith served in both the armies of the north and south during the civil war at a time when there were but 150,000 Jews In this country.
