BILL WOULD AID TEACHING
Congress Asked to Give $4s7,00 for
Training In Missouri.

Natural talent must be prepared for
teaching just as it is prepared fol
law, medicine, or engineering. Nc
state in the Union has gone far enough
in a teacher-preparation program to
supply its schools with good teachers
says an announcement by the Nation
al Education Association.
More than 100000 teachers, out of
522 900 in the elementary schools. are
nineteen years of age or younger.
More than $4,000 have had no school
ing beyond the eighth grade. More
than 100000 teachers begin teaching
each September and less than one
third of these have had any special
preparation for their work
A bill now before Congress provides
$15.000,000 annually. and demands an
equal amount by the states, ''tO Co
operate with the states in preparing
teachers for the schools, particularly
rural schOOls"-''to prepare teachers.
to encourage more nearly universal
preparation of prospective teachers,
to extend the facilities for the i'm
prOvement of teachers already in
service, to encourage through the es-
tablishment of scholarships and 9TH
erwise a greater number of talented
young people to make adequate prep
aratiOn for public-schOol service, and
otherwise to provide an increased
number of trained and competent
teachers" This money is to be ap-
portiCned on the public school teacher
basis. and amounts to s24.1O per teach
er for the promotion of teacher-prep-
aratiOn.
Missouri had 20.2OS public school
teachers in l915-1916. She would re-
ceive S4S7,O12.SO for the purposes
named above. Doubling this amount
would make available a minimum of
S974,025.60 for teacher preparation in
her tax supported normal schools and
colleges.

WASTE IN PRINTING OFFICE
When a Senator Dies 5000 Obituary
Volumes of EulOgy Appear.

Under the law, whenever a senator
or a representative dies and eulogies
are delivered in his memory, there
must be printed and bound by the
government printing offices no. less
than eight thousand volumes contain
ing the obituary addresses, says Hen
ry Litchfield West in the Bookman.
Fifty copies. bound in full morocco,
with silt edges" to quote the law,
are presented to the family of the de-
ceased. Senators and representatives
from the same state as their former
colleague receive 1850 for distribu-
ton, and the remaining six thousand
are duly apportioned among the other
senators and representatives
AS matter of fact, there is little
or no demand for these memorials OF
departed greatness; and if ten nation
al legislators die within a year-it
means that from sixty thousand to
seventy thousand bound volumes are
destined to fall into the unfeeling EN-
brace of the junk dealer.

THANKS TO GREAT BRITAIN

Cities all over the United States
have united in honoring Great Brit
ain on Britain Day for the wonderful
part she has played in the great war.
The celebration of Britain Day in
America comes as a fitting emblem
Of the new bond of sympathy and un-
derstanding between our country and
England, and as a recognition of the
fact that the ideals of the two coun-
tries are more closely cemented than
ever before.
While We Americans boast with
good cause that we furnished the de-
Gliding force in the war, yet we realize
that if the English had not held back
the tide of German invasion in the
first trying years, the cause would
have been lost. The United States
furnished more than two millions Of
troops but they were transported to

THE NEW BOOKS
of Men and Nations .


The need of the spirit of brother
hood in industry, business, life, So
cial life, government relations and,
last and greatest, in the relations
of nations, is brought out in a vivid,
concise manner by John ID. Rockefe!-
Ter, Jr., in his little book on Broth
erhood of Men and Nations"
He says the basic principle of
brotherhood is the golden rule of
do as you would be done by. He
goes on to say that the patriotism of
all classes is certOn to be severely
tested in the readjustments which
follow the war. During this period
of reconstruction the one force to be
looked to for the prevention of inter
nal wars is the spirit of brotherhood.

Paris Gets Response to Request
for Disease Preventive,

In response to a request by wire
from Mayor Clarence Evans of Paris
the famous Mayo Brothers sent fifty
doses of anti-iHfluenza serum from
their research hospitals at Rochester.
MINI. says the Monroe County Appeal
of Paris, Mo. Each dose Is divided into
three parts, to be administered by the
subcutaneous process seven days
apart Taken in time, this serum has
proven a positive preventive of in
fiuenza and pneumonia.
The serum is manufactured for free
distribution. On account of the tre-
mendOus demand from all parts of the
world, not enough can be produced
to meet the demand. For this reason
only small amounts can be allowed TO
a community.

PUBLIC HEALTH


The Missourian does not pose as al
expert on public health. Far be it fol
this newspaper to attempt to tell the
citizens what policy it should pursue
in the mater of abating the spread
of influenza, the prevalence of which
has reached an alarming stage, when
there are professional men and others
in the community whose training and
study of the situation should equip
them for giving just such advice. But
the Mssourian does desire, in the
light of the latest official action on
the part of the city authorities, to re-
view for the benefit of its readers the
inconsistent and 'On-again-Of-again"
methods that have been employed in
regard to quarantine restrictions; and
to raise the question of whether or
not the people can expect to have the
protection they are entitled to have
against this most treacherous disease
under these methods. Here is the way
the situation has been handled:
October THE University closes.
City Board of Health
closes public schools and
stops all public gather
ings.
November 11-City schools reopened.
November 15-City Board of Health
refuses to lift restrictions.
November 16-City Board of Health
lifts ban on all public
meetings, churches and
theaters. Medical mem
bers of the Board vote
against it.
November 27-Restrictions again
ordered on all gatherings
church hes, pool halls,
schools, lodges and thea
ters. Stores ordered to
allow only six customers
at a time.
December S-City Board of Health
permits theaters and !
churches to reopen pro- |
viding adjoining seats are |
not occupied. Stores and |
all places of business per-
mitted to have one GUS
toner for each 200 square
feet of space. Medical
members of the Board |
vote against opening
churches and theaters.
1t is only fair to mention that the
medical members of the City Board of
Health have consistently maintained
that influenza is a highly infectious
malady, and is spread chiefly in
crowds. Their official statements
show they have tried to legislate
against crowds with a view of reduc-
ing to the minimum the spread of the
disease and thus prevent an over
whelming number of cases which they
say would result in deaths, because
of the inability to provide necessary
medical and nursing care. Twice their
views have prevailed
From the lay members of the board.
and from some citizens. came the ar
gument that restrictions enforced were
unwarranted. These persons held that
the place for quarantine should be in
the homes and not in the stores,
amusement places and churches, at
least not to the extent enforced in
these latter places. This conflict of
views was accentuated at times by
more or less acrimonious remarks
Twice the views of the laymen pre-
vailed.
Thus you have in brief the vacil-
lating record of COlumbias fight
against the enemy that has produced
more havoc in this country and in
this very community than the great
war itself. You must agree. certainly,
that it isn't a pleasant record to con-
template, especially since it pertains
to public health and the right of citi-
zens to demand proper guidance and
protection from those in authority.

No Woman Need Haze
Straight, Lark Hair

Instead of burning the life out of your
hair with a heated curling iron. you can
add to its life by using plain liquid sill
merine, and at the same time secure a
far better and prettier result. Your hair
will have delightful curl and natural
wavy appearance. no matter in what form
it is done up. if you will simply apply
a little of this harmless fluid at night
with clean tooth brush, drawing this
through the hair from root to tip.
A few ounces of liquid silmerine from
the druggist will last you a long while.
This will not spot the scalp or streak
the hair, and it is neither sticky nor
greasy 1t is without question the best
hair curling method yet found and no
doubt will soon be as popular here as it
is abroad.

Silent Death Methods
OF Indian Soldiers
Feared by Turk Troops

] Correspondence Associated Press.
With the British Forces in Pales-
tine, Sept. 30.-Silent death in the
blackness of night, the fate OF un-
numbered Turkish sentries surprised
at their posts by patrols of Indian
troops with the British army, has
imposed upon the Ottoman soldiers
wholesome respect for these dark
skinned fighters who have replaced
many white contingents sent to
other fronts.
The cleverness of the Gurkhas at
stalking has had a terrifying effect
upon the minds of the Turks, who
are constantly finding their men
dead at advanced stations, with
nothing to betray the coming and
going of the foe. The result has
been a case of nerves among the
spemy, prompting constant alarms.
Surkhas and Sikhs, eager for &C
i've fighting, are continually sug-
costing raids and sectional attacks,
unconsciously answering the exult-
ant predictions of enemy publicity
organs that their substitution for
whites would open the way for an
early Turkish offensive which would
sweep the British forces from the
country,
In action the Indian troops are as
keen as in anticipation OF it. Their
approach, even after the warning of
barrage, inevitably is<so swift as
to take the Turks completely off
their guard. Recently in broad day
light Kurkhas reached unobserved
POINT within close range of the en-
.my trench. They rushed it and
without firing shot, killed IS Turks
brought back as many prisoners.
Only one of attackers was wounded.
A subaltern in charge of party
OF the Indians had an extraordinary
experience in this raid. He had
stuck has bayonet into Turk. but
was unable to disengage it, owing

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which ap-
peared in Spain in May, has all the
appearance of grip or la grippe,
which has swept over the world in
numerous epidemics as far back as
history runs. Hippocrates refers
to an epidemic in 412 B. c., which
is regarded by many to have been
influenza. Every century has had
it's attacks. Beginning with 1881,
this country has had five epidemics,
the last in 10000.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has a very low per
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred
cases, according to the N. c. Board
of Health. The chief danger lies in
complications arising, attacking
principally, patients in a rundown
condition-those who don't 60 to
bed soon enough, or those who get
up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grippe, or influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness
and sometimes nausea and dizzi-
ness, and general feeling of weak
ness and depression. The tempera-
ture is from 100 to 1O4, and the
fever usually lasts from three to five
days. The germs attack the mu
cous membrane, or lining of the air
passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
lines sore throat or tonsilitis, and
frequently all the appearances of a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake, but to
avoid spreading the disease to
,others-take purgative, eat plenty
of nourishing food, remain perfect
ly quiet and don't worry. Quinine,
aspirin or lovers powder, etc., may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for in
fluenza-the disease must run its
course, but Nature will throw off
the attack if only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies in
the complications which may arise.
Influenza so weakens the bodily re-
sistance that there is danger of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation of the
middle ear, or heart affections. For
these reasons, it is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed
at least two days or more after the
fever has left you, or if you are
