the Bobbs Merrill Publishing Co. to-,
day
The sealed verdict OF the jury which
heard the suit before Justice Golf, was
read in supreme court today. Counsel
for Corrigan asked for an extra allow
ance for attorney fees.
George Bronson Towards novel
."God's Man" which Corrigan alleged
was an attack on him, was the basis
7of the suit. The novel draws picture
of a Tammany political Judge and in
one chapter places him in a famous
resort of the city. Corrigan claimed
Howard aimed the character drawing
at him, after he had decided case
against him in court.
The divorced wife of Howard, the
author, was arrested during the trial
on a perjury charge on order from

STATE BOARD
ON SMALLPOX
Circular Being Distributed by Iowa
Health Body Has Plea for
Vaccination.

A circular on smallpox was re-
ceived today at the city offices from
Guilford H. Sumner secretary-execu-
tive officer of the Iowa state board
of health. The circular contains a
plea for vaccination and is headed
mallpox-Immunity Which VIII
You Choose?" The contents are as
follows:
1.-TWO methods are being adopted
to obtain immunity from smallpox.
There is one class of people who
have adopted the method discovered
in 1896 and known as vaccination.
As rule. those people who adopt
this method are for the most part in
favor of adopting preventive means,
many of them are college graduates,
and a large percentage of them be,
long to the successful and influential
part of our citizenship. In health
matters these people believe that an
ounce. Of prevention is worth pound
of cure: a foresight counts much IL

sion board of the Presbyterian
church in New York city, is shown by
the fact that this community has just
raised by subscription in three days
5000 for immediate payment upon the
new manse. This has been done in a
wear, when many of the farmers mad
practically crop failures.
The total cost of the manse is
about $500, and of this amount
some $500 was donated by labor and
free material. The board of church
erection, in New York city. makes a
gift to new churches of one-third the
total cost of the manse. So the
church here can receive $500 as a
gift from that source. This left $500
cash to be obtained here.
The Rev. Matthew Brown McNutt,
of the country church department OF
the home mission board, and the man
who first advocated Argyle as a
demons tration field, arrived late last
week to assist in the raising Of this
$780, Rev. McNutt preached at both
services on Sunday, and at the close
of each sermon presented this appeal
in very few words. The response
was most generous, especially at the
morning service, over half the amount
being pledged at this service alone.
On Sunday afternoon three teams of
men went to visit those who had not
been appealed to through the morn
ing service. Over $500 was pledged
on Sunday On Monday and Tuesday
MI McNutt canvassed the entire
community and found generous re

feel able to give. he found good will

the preservation of their health. This
class of our people here in Iowa re-
gard smallpox as disgrace and vac
CinatiOn as blessing.
1.-The other class are not afraid of
smallpox, in fact, they have adopted
smallpox to immunize themselves to
vaccination Making up this part of
the population, we find large per
centage of people not well informed,
and scarcity of college graduates
and successful and influential citi-
zens. At best these people just be-
lieve in an ounce Of prevention, but
insist on buying full pound of cure.
we are continually getting letters
and inquiries from some sympathetic
persons who bemoan the fact that
the people in their communities are
suffering from smallpox. Now. these
people do not have to have small
pox, and if they do not know that
vaccination will prevent smallpox,
then they are just exactly one hun
dred and twenty years behind time,
because that is when the discovery
of the preventive power of vaccina-
ton was made, in the year 1895.
Really, we think people that are so
far behind the procession or, If they
do not know better are so negligent
deserve a nice little case of small
pox. The only thing that worries
the Iowa state board of health is
the children (and for their sakes we
believe that parents should look TO
the vaccination of their children)
The grown-up person that gets the
smallpox deserves it and the state
| board of health is not wasting bit
of sympathy on him. If it deesn''
kilI him we really feel Like sEyi2g
