Blanks were sent yesterday by the
municipal accounting department to
all cities and towns Of Iowa, calling
for a report of municipal business for
the year ending March 81. 1916.
There are 1O5 cities on the list, an
increase of four since last year. There
are 72S towns, an increase of twenty
three.
A few towns will be dropped from
the list From reports received from
few places, the postoffice has been
discontinued, and the inhabitants
have lost interest in the town to the
extent that they neglect to elect of
ficers. Without officers, the mum
icipal machinery stops and the towns
cease to exist in a legal sense.

Iowa State Board Of Health Has Some
Plain Language to Turn Loose
on the Question of
Vaccination.
IMMUNITY is AT HAND
Vaccination Will Furnish This I'M
nunity and Board Exoriates
Those Who Are
Against 1t.

There is small pox in Iowa, ant
practically in all parts of Iowa. There
is small 'pox in Illinois and in Other
nelghboring states-much Of It, The
disease has appeared In a mild form
heretofore, but nobody can say thai
there will not develop virulent disease
from this mild form. 1t seems strange
that there has not been some de
termined effort, some united action OF
the part Of the states in the middle
west to combat this disease. Perhaps
they are waiting until the disease shall
become very deadly and then every
body will be wanting to know why
nothing has been done. The fact is
that much is being done, almos
everything is being done on the par
of the authorities, but the authorities
are not given the proper support by
the people at large Magnificent worl
is done by many local officials. Blu
the people are careless and worse
The state board of health has jus
issued the following:
Small -Immunity-Which
will you choose?
Two methods are being adopted
to obtain immunity from small
pox. There is one class of peo-
pie who have adopted the meth
cd discovered in 1896 and known
as vaccination. AS a 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
belong to the successful and influ-
entail part of our citizenship. In
health matters these people be-
lieve that an ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure: a fore
sight counts much in the pres
ervation of their health This
class of our people here in Iowa
regard smallpox as a disgrace and
vaccination as blessing.
The other class are not afraid
Of smallpox, in fact, they have
adopted smallpox to immunize
| themselves to vaccination. Max
ing up this part of the population
we find large percentage of peo-
pie not we'll informed, and
scarcity Of college graduates and
successful and influential citizens.
At best these people just believe
in an ounce of prevention. but in
sist on buying a full pound OF
cure,
We are continually getting let
tiers and inquiries from some SYM
pathetic persons who bemoan the
fact that the people of their COM
munities are suffering from small
pox. Now those people do not
know that vaccination will pre-
vent smallpox. then they are just
exactly one hundred and twenty
years behind time, because that
is when the discovery Of the pre-
ventive power of vaccination was
made, in the year 1896. Really,

we think people that are SO far be-
hind the procession or, If they do
not know better, are so negligent,
deserve nice little case Of small
pox. The only thing that worries
the Iowa board of health is the
children (and for their sakes we
believe that parents should look
to the vaccination of their child
ren). The grown-up person that
gets the smallpox deserves it and
the state board of health is not
wasting bit of sym pathy on him.

FATAL AUTO MIX-Up
IN ENFIELD STREET
One Killed, Three Hurt When
Repair Crew Is Hit

Thompsonville, Oct. 13.-One man
though not fatally injured in an auto
mobile accident early today on En-
field street in Enfield. The dead man
was Hercules Racicot of Westfeld.
Mass
The injured are: Leo Leene, Bel
lows Falls, Vt; Benjamin Morrell Chi
cago, and William Cain, Roxbury,
Mass. All are suffering from severe
cuts and bruises and possibly broken
ribs. At the Hazard Hall tavern in
Tnf1eld where they are being cared for,
it was said, that they were expected to
recover.
The accident resulting in the death
Of Racicot and the injury to the three
men followed a collision of automo-
biles a few hours earlier at that point
Two cars, one of which was a MasSa-
chusetts car and the other a Connect1-
cut machine came together head on
and were badly wrecked, but none of
the occupants was injured. a repair
car was sent down from Springfield,
Mass, to look after the damaged ma
Chimes and Racicot came down with
it as an extra man.
While they were at work on the
wrecked cars, another machine com
ing from the direction of Springfield
came in sight, and RaciCot, it is said,
ran out to stop it with a f1ashlight as
it was thought there was not room for
it to pass. The driver of the Oncoming
car, Wood Williams of Spring ield,
claims he did not see Racicot, nor the
obstruction ahead until he was almost
upon it The car knocked Racicot
down and ran over him. In an effort
to avoid hitting the two wrecked cars,
Williams turned his machine aside,
but it era shed into two telegraph poles
set close together and was completely
wrecked. The occupants with the ex-
ception of the driver were thrown out.
Williams escaped practically un-
hurt, and started back for Springfield
with Racicot in the repair car. Be-
fore reaching that city, however, Ra-
cicot died. He was about 80 years old
and is survived by his wife and two
children.
An investigation was begun today
by the Enfield authorities.
The injured men, dealers in dental
supplies, had been attending the dem
lists convention at Hartford and
were returning to that city from a
trip to Springfield, Mass, at the time

Doctor, I am not sick, but I don't
feel right That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it. You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days Your sleep
isV not restful and you don't enjoy
your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
fculties where there really are none.
Trif1es worry you, and not having
enough troubles of your own, You
borrow some.
Of course, to casual observer, you
seem the same. because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell friend. or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self. oYu sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be bright
and cheerful. But then your old feeling
will come back with renewed vigor
You begin to wonder if it really is
your mind only. And if it is so, is
it the first step to insanity? Anguish
ing thoughts begin torturing you;
you are trying your best to fight them
down, to appear happy, but in vain.
You find yourself in the grip of an
invisible power that seems to sap
your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
condition as a delicately constructed
engine, which has not been cared for
Sight. Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it. or turn it over
to an unskilled person, and it will
soon be fit for the scrap heap.
Let me save you from the scrap
heap!

Troops His Honor expressed the pleas
ure and pride of the city in the SOL
diers. We are proud of you because
you left your homes and f1resides in
answer to the country's call and you
have done it we'll. Had you been
called upon to go into battle you
stood ready, declared the mayor, and
we are proud of your families who
sacrificed so much that you could go.
The mayor then spoke a word of
greeting to the Bristol boys who were
soon dismissed to attend a banquet
and reception in the Bell city. He
concluded by telling the troops how
John Hewinway as custodian Of City
hall had hung up the old flag the
day they went away and refused,
though soiled and faded it had be-
come, to take it down until they re-
turned and now. the mayor said we
will present it to you to hang in the
armory.
Cheers greeted the mayors remarks
and moment later the boys broke
ranks and were greeted by waiting
friends and relatives A gay scene
followed as the boys in khaki broke
into little groups and were forced to
answer a thousand questions concern
ing doings along the border and in
turn hurled questions regarding events
at home and doings in the Hardware
City. At the west end of the armory
long tables were set and the boys
were soon enjoying a substantial
lunch.

In questioning the troops concern

generally have a feeling that Uncle
Sam is not through with his troubles
with the Mexicans. many holding to
the belief that nothing but a real in
vasion with subjugation of the coun-
try can bring a lasting peace. There
are others. however. who hold that
the Mexicans have had their bluff
called and, after viewing the thou
sands of Uncle Sans boys who were
sent to the border when trouble was
brewing, are thoroughly satisfied that
this country can back with action
whatever it promises.
