THE BYSTANDER Boost Pay and read The Bystander XXV No. 46 THE GOOD WORK OF ONE MAN AT THE CANTONMENT. Kansas City Man in "Y" at Camp Dodge. Wm. H. Washington, a Kansas City man, who went into the Y. M. C. A service at Camp Dodge last July, has been having a great time out there according to what he writes. His first job was in the 'Y' tent in the tenty detention area, where 30,000 rookies passed through and spent four weeks in quarantine before starting their regular training. This was where the first Jazz band was organized. It consisted of ten pieces and was the beginning of the band that furnished the music for the shows and entertainments that did so much to drive away the homesickness of the men while they were so new to camp ways. Mr. Washington also had charge of arrangements for the shows that were put on by the men. The plan was for the different places represented in camp to each have a night when they would furnish the entertainment. The St. Louis boys, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the fellows from Indiana each put on shows that were the real thing, while the band livened them all up. After a strenuous four months in tent city, Washington was transferred to No. 89, the newest and finest "Y" building in camp, where his work was to be among the men of the Labor Battalion. This was also a good stiff job as the Labor Battalion was considered the hardest bunch in camp from the standpoint of morals. The work here was built around a band organization also, although the first difficulty was to get the consent of the military authorities to undertake what they considered a hopeless job. But their consent once obtained, he worked night and day to make good and justify the experiment. He put it up to the fellows, "We must make good or the battalion will be bellied." And so the band was started, although it meant teaching some of the men to read music and helping and encouraging others so that all might work together. Meanwhile, of course, there was the regular work of the building to be done; running the moving picture machine three nights a week, besides the social programs and desk duty behind the counter. The band has proved a tremendous success through Mr. Washington's unfiring and constant effort. It now numbers twenty-five pieces and there are also fourteen pieces in the Jazz band that varies the programs and plays on less important occasions. All the members have been selected and trained by Mr. Washington. The band has given concerts in several white churches in Des Moines and plays regularly for the church services at the Y. as well as for the movie programs. At a program given by the band and orchestra at the Red Cross house at the base hospital there were seven hundred wounded and convalescent soldiers present, among them about a hundred who had to come in wheel chairs. In fact it has been said that the Jazz band is the best that there has been in Camp Dodge. They furnish the music regularly for the battalion dances held each week in the Hostess House. Three members of the band trained by Mr. Washington have gone to the famous Tenth Cavalry in the Philippines and expect to be in the band there for three years. Among the personnel of the organization are three white sorgeants who play with the band and never miss practice. Mr. Washington expects to leave Camp Dodge soon, as the battalion is about to be discharged. Among the most cherished souvenirs that he will carry away with him is a baton that was presented to him as their leader, by the members of the band, in token of their universal appreciation and the good will they all bore toward him. He will probably return to Kansas City. He was a member of the Allen Chapel and a musician in the Knights Templar Band. The editor of the Bystander might add that this band made its last public appearance as an organization last Sunday, leading the Knights of Pythias memorial day celebration. They made their first appearance as an orchestra at the Union Congregational Christian Endeavor several months ago, and last Sunday played their last public piece at the same church for the Christian Endeavor. The members of this band represented more than a dozen different states. KEOKUK. IOWA. We are glad to see Mr. Warren Toomes home after spending some months in Oakdale for his health.

Biliousness and Constipation. "For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I shoul have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally."—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. For a burn or a scald apply Chamberlain's Salve. It will allay the pain almost instantly and quickly heal the injured parts. COUNCIL BLUFFS NEWS. At Bethel A. M.

Biliousness and Constipation. "For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cautions only made matters worse. I do not know where I shoul have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally."—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. For a burn or a scald apply Chamberlain's Salve. It will allay the pain almost instantly and quickly heal the injured parts. COUNCIL BLUFFS NEWS. At Bethel A. M.
