the guardsmen are getting the best Of

The mess system is on a cash basis.
The mess sergeant Of each company is
given cash allowance. John Box,

$500 on his first months allowance.
Later, when the men were getting
everything they wanted in the food

or more on his allowance.
The menu at noon. Sunday, Oct. l.,
included stewed chicken, mashed pota-

FACTS IN IOWA HISTORY.
Bits Of Early History Is Recalled by
Authority at University.

Authority at University.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Oct 20.--The observance
of Iowa day naturally calls to mind
the facts in the history of the common
wealth. DR.. Dan e. Clark. of the uni
versity of Iowa, is authority for the fol-
Loving:
1t was nearly $50 years ago, in June,
1919, that Marquette and Joliet, the
first white men in Iowa. visited an In
dian village near the mouth of the Iowa
| river 1t is this incident which the poet
Longfellow described in "Hiawatha.''
| where he tells of the visit of the black
robed priest.
Then followed many decades during
which the red skinned jewellers in the
Iowa land were undisturbed in their
hunting and lighting save by traders
and trappers who, in ever increasing
| numbers, came among them in quest of
furs. Not until 1888 were the Indians
forced to yield ground to the oncom
ing wave of land hungry pioneers.
During that year and the years that
| followed thousands of settlers poured
! across the Mississippi to make homes
| for themselves in the Iowa country.
| In 1888 the territory of Iowa was es-
tablished and by 1886 the population
had so greatly increased that Iowa was
admitted into the union as a state. The
! seventy years which have elapsed since
| that time have witnessed marvellous
| development.
Iowa City was the capital OF Iowa
from 1889 to 1857. The old stone capt.
| toll on the campus justly deserves to
| be called the finest monument to the
early history of Iowa to be found with
in the borders of the state. In this
building the early governors had their
office, here the legislature held its seS-
SONS, here three constitutional con-
ventions convened and here We're or
ganized the early political parties of
the state. Then for several years after
the seat of government was moved to-
DeS Moines. in 1857. the old capitol
housed practically all of the offices and
class rooms or the state univerSity.>
The progress in the state at large is
| we'll reflected in the growth of the uni
versity from an institution with one
building, a small faculty, and only a
| few students. to an institution with
more than score of modern buildings,
IL large faculty and 5000 students.

MORE THAN $500 CASES OF
TUBERCULOSIS TREATED IN
EIGHT YEARS.
WORK is DESCRIBED
BY DR.. SCARBOROUGH
superintendent Of Sanatorum Tells Of
Success Of Treatment Before Con-
vsntion Of Iowa Commercial Club
Seeretaries-Mors Than 50 Per Cent
Of Patients Aided to Recovery.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Oct. 2O.-That the state
tuberculosis sanatorium at Oakdale has
treated $500 cases of tuberculosis in
eight years and has aided recoveries
In at leat half of them, was pointed
out by DIR. n. v. Scarborough, super
intendent, to commercial club secre-
taries meeting here in their third semi
annual conference under the auspices
of the state university.
The death rate of nearly 40 per cent
DR.. Scarborough laid to the fact that So
many of the cases received are past
hope of cure.
DR.. Scarborough scaid laymen in
Iowa are probably better informed on
the subject of tuberculosis than the
State sanatorium work is also better
in Iowa for the amount of money ex-
pended than in surrounding states.
DIR. Henry Albert explained the work
Of the Laboratory of the state board OF
health. In the past year it has made
almost $4,000 meteorological eXamlna-
tons, Or 5000 more than in any preced-
ing year. He declared that important
additional service could be given II
funds were provided for sending ex-
perts into communities. The labora-
tory is at present examining specl-
mems for signs of tuberculosis, diph-
liberia, typhoid fever, and rabies. inn
munizing infected persons, making
water analyses, and conducting epi-
Genealogical Investigations.
More Rigid Regulations Necessary.
Dr.. Mark F.. Boyd, epidemiologlst,
explained how he traces infection OF
various kinds to the source and assists
in checking them by applying the
proper supervision. Both DR.. Boyd and
DIR. Albert emphasized the danger to
the community from carriers of ty-
phoid and diphtheria. a more rigid
control of infected persons is needed in
Iowa, they asserted.
.Sanitation, and improved personal
hygiene can only accomplish limited
reduction in the amount of commune
cable disease from which We suffer-
because they are only safeguards DR..
Boyd said. They can effect a reduc-
ton, but not the determination thru
the control of the sources from which
infective material is distributed. Effec-
tive agencies for this do not exist at
present. We have the knowledge but
not the means of applying it.
The visiting secretaries We're well
coined by President w. "A. Jessup. OF
the university, al the opening session
at 8 o'clock A. B. Gilbert, extension
worker, declared commercial CLUBS
have not measured up to expectations
of what they should do for their cities,
that the commercial club secretary
must be an expert, not a man VINO
merely knows little more about city
life than members of the association,
and that nothing but hard study of city
problems will make him an expert he
submitted a list of books for the secre-
taries to study. C. F. Kurtz, another
extension worker, showed the value OF
the business survey to the average
small town in Iowa.

Here In America there is much SUI
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to con-
slider the method employed by the Eng
lish to combat this insidious disease.
everyone knows how damp the English
climate il and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
head noises as a constitutional disease
and use an internal remedy for it that
u really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their hear
ing restored by the English treatment
to such AN extent that the tick Of a
watch was plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from the ear
Therefore. II you know someone who
Is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises. cut out this formula
and hand 1t to them and you will have
been the means Of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
The prescription can be easily prepared
at home for about 75c and is made as
follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. Of

to reduce by tonic action the inialnina-
