ASKS PUBLiC'S AID
IN HEALTH WEEK


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 2S.--The state
board of health, thru its secretary has
issued the following appeal asking CO.
operation in the observance OF health
week beginning Dec. 10:
To the People of Iowa: Governor G..
w. Clarke has recommended that the
week beginning Dec. 10 be designated
as health week in Iowa, therefore, l
wish that all the teachers in the state.
all children in the state and all local
boards of health CO. operate in every
way possible to bring before the people
the necessity of studying the local
health conditions in each community in
our state.
Proper exercises may be arranged in
the schools. and physicians In each
community should be invited to speak
upon public health topics. It Is quite
essential that the people Of Iowa
should know and understand that
health measures are more important
than any other business.
1t was that genuine philosopher and
statesman, Benjamin Franklin. who
said. Public health Is public wealth.
The truth of this statement can not be
disputed and 1t is to be hoped that our
present statesmen will become enthus-
ed with these true economics to the ex-
tent that needed legislation will be en-
acted for improving the present public
health measures.
Disraeli said: The care Of the
public health is the first duty of our
statesmen" Gladstone said: I'm the
health of the people lies the strength of
the nation" and only a short time
since, the New York City board of
trade passed unanimously a resolution
which reads as follows:
Resolved that tie health and pro-
lection of life are more precious to the
people and more necessary to their
happiness than even the extension Of
our commerce. the fostering Of our ag-
ricultural interests, the solving Of our
financial problems, the cheapness or eff
ficiency Of our postal service, the i'm
portance Of improving our rivers and
harbors or the enlargement of our
navy"
The men who gave utterance to
these statements were practical. sue
cessful business men who have ac-
complished much and were not physi-
clans or sanitarians. 1t must be ac-
knowledged. however. that teachings
of the medical professions always
been in accord with the resolutions
now so universally adopted
The conclusion is, therefore. that the
Importance Of observing a public
health week to the family, to the state
and TO medicine can hardly be over
estimated.
All should work together for most
successful observance OF health week
in order that sickness may be avoided
and happiness increased.
Very respectfully.

PHYSICIANS FAIL TO REPORT.
Not More Than half Notify State
Health Board of Typhoid Cases.

There were 474 deaths from ty-
phoid fever in South Carolina during
the first ten months Of 1915, which is
approximately one-third the number
of deaths from pella gra for the same
period. 1t is computed, on a basis
of 10 per cent. of the cases to typhoid
fever being fatal, that there were
4.74O cases Of the disease in the
State, which is considerable reduc-
tion from previous years.
Its mode of transmission is well
known" said James A. Hayne. NJ. D..
State health officer, in his annual re-
port. Proper disposal of human ex-
creta and proper protection of water
supplies, clean milk in the homes, de-
struction' of the breeding places Of
flies and the proper isolation and
screening of patients will absolutely
stamp out this disease.
1T is probable that not more than
one-half' of the physicians report as
they should. The bureau OF vital
statistics furnishes us with the num-
Der of deaths, but it is then too late
to fight the disease. What we want
to know is when the disease occurs,
the first cases in the community, so
that we can prevent other cases. The
law requires physicians to make this
report, but public sentiment does not
force physicians to obey this law.

THE HE'LL OF BATTLEFIELDS.
Austrian Archduke Declares Fighting
Bitterest of the War.

A dispatch from the correspondent
OF the Berliner Tageblatt giving de
tails Of the conflict being waged be-
tween Austrians and Italians on the
Isonzo, declares that the fighting nov
going on there is the bloodiest ant
most bitterly contested of the whole
campaign. The Archduke JOSEPH
Ferdinand, the Austrian commander
is quoted as characterizing the strug
gle about Goritz in this region as 1.-The
hell of the battlefelds.'
The losses here, says the report
are enormous and the expenditure Of
ammunition something beyond belief
Airmen, it is said, are playing ar
important and dramatic role in the
contest. The Italians are using great
war birds of a new type which are
armored and are equipped with ma
chine guns. Frequently whole squad
rons of these craft take part in the
aerial battles.
In the Poena valley (Rienz) one
of our detachments attacked and de-
stroyed an enemy field fort west OF
the Marogna bridge, southeast OF
Schluderbach.
In the Monte Nero zone our troops
have renewed their attacks on the
steep slopes of Mrzli and Vodil. After
stern struggle with varying fortunes
strong enemy intrenchments remain
ed in our possession. The accurate
fire of our artillery destroyed three
enemy machine guns.
On the heights northwest of Goritz
the enemy, having been strongly rein
forced, made violent counter attacks
throughout the day and succeeded in
some places in breaking into our new
trenches, but after furious hand to
hand fighting was thrown back.
On the Carso plateau our troops
developed an energetic offensive along
the northern slopes of Monte San
Michele and toward San Marino,
where we stormed several minor
trenches. Altogether during the day
we took 702 prisoners, Is of whom
were officers, three machine guns and
considerable war material.-London

The Word BOche.

The word "boche,' new one in
the French language, introduced
since the beginning of the great war
as designation to be applied to a
German, is regarded as most offens-
i've expression when applied by any
one to a French man or woman. 1t
now figures frequently in French
courts as a term of abuse, for which
the user sometimes pays money
penalty or as much as eight days OF
Imprisonment. Recently nine women
were brought into court and the COM
plainant. a man, asked for 2,OOO
francs as damages because these

it is a shortening of the word Ca
