The Hall of States has been re- cently established at 27 West 25th Street, New York City, by the War Camp Community Service as a meeting place for “buddies” who are townsmen, a hospitality centre where committees from the various states can meet the men of their states and as a headquarters for a nation-wide employment system that reaches out into all the states and hauls in jobs to be given to their sons. Minnesota’s part in the welcom- ing is being carried along by the alumni of the University of Minne- sota in New York. the result of a meeting at which A. F. Spencer of St. Paul, who was sunerintendent | of -the Hall of States for the New Yaork War Camp Community Service addressed the alumni, an organiza- tion was founded for installing a Minnesota desk and providing vol- unteers to run it. It is now princi- pally in charge of Mrs. Terry Ram- saye, better known in Minneapolis and here under her pen name of Betty Shannon. She has for her assistants: Miss Elizabeth Donaldson from Minneapolis, Miss Edith Phelps from Minneapolis, Miss Jeanie Williams from St. Paul, Mrs. Gallaway from Minneapolis, Mrs. Charles P. Berkey from Min- neapolis, Mrs. M. N. Nelson from Spring Grove, wife of Lt. Nelson of the Debarkation Hospital No. 38, formerly known as the “Big Store.” Halsey W. Wilson ffom Minneapolls has headed the activities of the alumni in raising the money for the ' |WANT AD DEPT,| enlisted /in the mavy as a seaman, but who was “discovered” by a band master and_became soloist with Sousa’'s band at the Great Lakes training station outside of Chicago. The Hall of States occupies the large rectory formerly the home of Rev. Dr. Wm. T. Manning, Rector of the rich Trinity Parish, and is situated just half a block from Broadway, opposite the great Vic- tory Arch under which the returning American soldiers are already be- ginning to march in Victory parades. The State Cominittees have found that théir greatest work lies, per- haps, in the comfort they are able to give unded men in the hos- pitals. They receive from the War Camp Community Service a large staff of stenographers, and a full list of men admitted to the three great hospitals in the city, some- times as many as 4,000 in a day. This list is arranged by states by the Community Service workers, and the Hospitality Committees. Write letters of chegr tp the wounded men. As these letters,are the first home cheer that three-quarters of the wounded men receive, they are ap- preciated jin a fashion that words do not readily convey. The Minne- sota Committee promptly sends one of its volunteers to call on lads from that State with words of cheer, sometimes with dainties or with flowers, Another important factor in the work at the Hall of States is the Employment Bureau of the War Camp Community Service, which, desk and for the necessary work'|"under Ralph M. MacDonald, solicits of reaching the men in hospitals, and C. F. Forssell of St. Paul, who is in New York on a business trip, has given invaluable service. Among the visitors at the Minnesota desk was Charles Young, a singer, well known around the Twin Cities, who Jobs in Minnesota and other states for native sons. Letters to Cham- bers of Commerce, large employers and State labor bureaus are produc- ing many jobs and several Minne- sota men have been sent back to Jobs, N y the Western News- (Copyright, 1919, - Union.) pape Effie Lowther, eighteen, pretty as a picture, but pitifully poor and ob- scure, was a dreamer. Not that she did not do her share in the practical realties of life, but in the absence af the glamor of money, friends and va- riety she built up a fabric out of pure moonshine, romanticism and mystery. Effie did not believe that the days of chivalry and fairy godnothers had entirely departed, only. that destiny had not come her way. She and her younger brother Nat were motherless when her father died. His health had broken down and he found himself able to work only half of the time. They lived in two rooms in a house owned by a Mrs. Porter, who rented out its apartments. After the funeral of Mr. Lowther, the kind-hearted land- lady interested herself In the children sufficiently to enable them to liye comfortably " until they were a little older. - “You can remain in the two rooms,” she told them, “for I shall make the rent only eight dollars a month. 1 am sure Nat can get a position as a messenger boy for a telegraph com- pany.” “But I want to work, too,”. an- nounced Effie. “You shall, 'dear,” agreed Mrs, Por ter. “Untll you can look around I will allow you four dollars a week to help me take care of the rooms. That will give you plenty of time to read and study between whiles, and I will take pride and pleasure In selecting books that will be of education and benefit to you.” And then as the fear of poverty dimmed and independence took fts place, brother and sister began to plan for a broader life experience. Bfte was | sIW advancemtont anead and they Tén a contented and hopeful existence, Then a common, everyday -lnecl- dent trunspired that at first shocked Effie and then aroused her to_ finish up an exciting episode. It was an- nounced just at dusk one evening by the appearance of a policeman assist- ing Nat, limping and wincing with pain, into the neat little room where Effie had a nice warm supper all ready waiting for her hrother. “Fell under a truck and foot smashed,” reported the officer, .28 he placed Nat on a coach. . “Drug store man bound it up and says no bones broken, but the lad won’t get around for a week.” “OhL, ‘Nat, dear! Are you hurt dreadfully?” began Eflle, but Nat waved her to silemce. “See here, Sis,” he spoke rapidly, “never mind aboht me. I'm & ght.. Now don't you lose one minpte. .1 was on a rush spe- clal when I'tninbled.” Here;” and -he drew an’ envelope from . his pocket, “and here,” and he extended a five- dollar bank note. “Take 'em, quick, and get to the addresses §n the en- velope.

My health had been failing me for-seven years. -I had no appetite 5.]and ‘what little I did eat would sour on. my. stomach, causing nausea and intense suffering.

My son, who had taken Tanlac, wrote me from: Omaha, Nebraska, begging me to try it.. Well, it commenced help- ing me almost at once and by the time I had finished my second bottle I noticed a great improvement. My appetite got better, I was less ner- vous and the pains in my back and head did not trouble me so much. I can eat just anytlnnlgl I want now,| everything agrees with me perfectly, and I have gained ten -pounds. in wejght., I can sleep ‘eight or nine hours every night and- can.say that my health is just splendid, and my peighbors come to see me and go away praising Tanlac.
