MAKING OF PLAYING CARDS
Amusement Of Dsransed King
Of France.

The invention Of playing cards has
been variously attributed to the Chi
nese, Hindoos, Arabians and Romans.
but cards rs now used were invented
by jacques Grirgonneur, a painter. in
Paris, in the fourteenth century. They
were supposed to have been first made
for the amusement of Charles VI. Of
France, who was deranged. The
French had particular names for the
IL court cards. The four kings were
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles,
the four queens, Argfne, Esther. Ju-
dith and Pallas: the four knaves or
knights. Ogier the Dane. Lancelot, La
Hire and Hector de Garland
Cards seem originally to have been
brought to England from Spain, prob
ably having been introduced into that
country by the Moors. The clubs, in
Spanish. were not trefoils, as with us,
but cudgels, I. e., "bastos," and the
spades or swords, "espadas." Cards at
first were stamped from wood blocks
In outline and filled In by hand, but
after the invention Of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them Off at once "Colum-
bines" were spades. rabbits clubs;
"pinks," diamonds. and roses"
hearts. Human figures. opposed to
those of flowers and animals, were the
ancestors of court cards.

Smallpox.
Smallpox is prevailing In, epidemic
form in different localities in the
state and there is reason to fear its
extensive spread. Vaccination is
urgently recommended as the only
means of preventing the disease.
Typhoid Fever.
Typhoid fever is not reportable
disease, because of recent legislation,
therefore the Iowa state board OF
health has no means OF knowing 10
what extent the disease prevails in
the state. The following should, how
ever, be kept in mind and before the
people:
Typhoid fever is prevalent during
the autumn, winter and spring
months. 1t is germ disease. 1t is
contracted by ingestion of typhoid
germs in water. milk, dairy products,
oysters, and fancy foods that come
in contact with infected water and
milk. These germs are contained in
the excretions OF typhoid patients.
Our water supply may be contain
mated by faulty sewerage, surface
drainage or unsanitary surroundings.
Our food may be infected through
the medium of flies.
| Typhoid fever is preventable.
/ Boil all drinking water, if there is
the least suspicion that it is contain
| mated.
Watch the source of your ice sup
ply.
Look after your Tx supply and All
dairy products
It is we'll to remember that large
percentage of the ~airy herds are in.

DR.. Gullford H. Gunner. secretary
Of the Iowa State Board OF Health,
has issued the call for meeting Of
the health officers. Of Iowa at Des
Moines this month to take up several
important matters, The call is as
follows:
It has been deemed advisable to
hold meeting Of all the health Of
ficers OF the state. in the, city OF Des
Moines, on Jan. % and &c, 1911, in
the interests OF public health meas
ures. The health officers will meet
with committee from the iowa State
Board OF Health, on Jan. rs, for a
conference; and on Jan. 26. pro-
gram will be presented by the health
officers, the time and place O. meet
ing will be announced later, when a
printed program will be issued.
Attention is called to the fact that
every incorporated village, town or
city should have health officer, and
every township in the state should,
at it's annual meeting held in April
Of each year, elect a township health
oficer. In this connection, atten-
lion is also called to an extract from
Rule ~, which relates to Duties OF
the health officer and reads: He
shall also attend and represent his
local board at the sanitary confer
ences called by the state board of
health, his actual expenses therefor
being allowed and paid by the local
board OF health SO represented" 1t
is necessary that all local boards OF
health see to il that their health Of
ficers are instructed to be present
at this meeting to be held in Des
Moines, Jan % and &c, 1911. and it
is earnestly hoped that there may be
no failure to comply with the law and
the rule of the board, as the meeting
will be OF great value to the public
interests OF every locality in the
state.
IrfsntIie Paralysis.
The fact that cases OF Anterior
Poliomyelitis. or Infantile Paralysis,
are still being reported to the, state
board Of health, is of great import
ance to all and should be carefully
noted by health officers. Many states
have been afflicted with severe cpl.
denies OF the malady, and it is pre-
dicted that we will have more of this
disease during the coming year, and
the Iowa state board of health is on
the alert to protect the people and
Inhabitants of the state of Iowa, and
IT is DESTROYS on the part of the Iowa
state board Of health that all known
measures for its prevention should Je
adopted to avert a similar experience
which has prevailed during the past
year and which has worked such sor
row among our people. The disease
mas been proven to be infectious; and
while the specific micro-organism
which causes it has not yet been dis
covered, there can be no doubt as
70 its existence and that the usual
