STAY AT HOME VOTE
THE DANGER ELEMENT IN THE
COMING ELECTION.
RUNS INTO BIG FIGURES
Tabulated Statement Shows stay-at-
Home Vote in the Various Districts
of the state-Apathy That Exists
Has Its Danger Point.

-H /.
The campaign has reached time
when it has become apparent that, UNI
like presidential campaigns of recent
parent interest on the part Of the
voters. One would almost think it was
an "off year campaign" and that the
prospect promised only an off year
vote.
The republicans of Iowa are largely
to blame for this and should see to
it that the remainder of the campaign
develops sufficient interest to bring out
full vote on election day. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that the people have
made UP their minds that they are
satisfied with the existing conditions,
and propose to vote the republican
ticket, even if they do not make the
welkin ring with huzzaas for their can
didates. While it is undoubtedly true
in all this broad state of Iowa not a
single republican expects to vote the
democratic ticket, no one should feel
that his vote Is not needed. 1t Is
just as necessary that Iowa should re
turn solid republican delegation tt
congress as it is that the state SHOULD
give Roosevelt and Fairbanks 10000
plurality. Both of these happy results
may be accomplished If every republi
can does his duty on November 8.

1t is a good thing to consult history
frequently and a comparison of the
figures of the votes of recent cleo
lions in this state should teach repub
licans some valuable lessons.

PHYSICIAN DECLARES THEY CAN.
NOT RAISE CHILDREN
CORRECTLY.
Dr.. schooler, Of Des Moines, Suggests
the Employment Of Physician for
the Schools to Look After the Health
of the Children.

Des Moines, Oct 1S.-"Persons in
this country are making strenuous eff
forts to learn to raise everything-ex-
cept their children" said DR.. Schroeder
in a letter to superintendent Sheakley,
of the West Des Moines schools, few
days ago, suggesting that a physician
be appointed to look after the sanitary
condition of the various schools of
the city and the health of the various
pupils.
at is public duty to look after
the health of the children while they
are in the schoolroom," said DR..
Schooler. "The physicians duties
would be limited to the schoolroom
only. Outside the school the child
would, of course, be turned over to
the family physician think young
and enterprising physician should be
employed, one who could devote all
his time if necessary to his duties as
school physician, and he should be
paid suitable salary for his services.
That would be the only solution Of
the problem, as to thoroughly dis
charge his duties along this line man
would have to devote his entire time
to the work, in all probability.
Physicians Duty.
'It would be the physicians duty to
look after the sanitary condition Of the
schoolroom. Though know of no
particular case demanding special at.
tention, yet l know that better santa.
ton is sadly needed in many of the
city schools. The spread of contagious
diseases would also be prevented If a
physician were to regularly visit the
schoolroom and examine children who
show symptoms of sickness. Those
who are in robust health would, OF
course, not be examined, but those
who were listless and apparently dull
would come in for share Of the ply
sician's attention.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt TO doctor
although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo-
MIA always results from cold or
from an attack of the grip, and by
the proper treatment of these diseas-
es a threatened attack of pneumonia
NAV be warded off. There is no ques-
ton whatever about this, as during
the thirty years and more that Cham
berlain' s Cough Remedy has been
used. we have yet to learn of single
case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted In pneumonia when
this remedy was used. It is also used

pneumonia with the best results. DIR.
