FREE / VACCINE
TOALL. PEOPLE
Big Supply Of Pneumonia
and Influenza Vaccine Ar
rives, and Public
Will be Treated
is NOT COMPULSORY
Innoculation, However, Is
Recommended by All
! Physicians.

A large supply of pneumonia and III
fluenza vaccine has been received in
Webster City from the Mayo hospital
at Rochester, Minnesota. Physicians
of the city strongly recommend innocu
latiOn and free vaccination will be
given all persons who request it.
Patient Immune.
Physicians state that the use Of pneu-
monia and influenza vaccine renders
the patient immune from taking these
diseases. Tt is also given to persons
who are ill at the beginning of the at
tack and it is said to lessen the ravages
Of the disease. 1t is necessary to take
three injections at intervals of a week
apart.
The city is making arrangements to
keep complete record OF all people
yaccinated.
Furnished Free.
The vaccine received here came from
Rochester, Mimi, and was made
available through the Mayo Founda-
ton, which furnishes it free. A supply
ample for all Hamilton county has
been received and it will be freely Civ
en- to all who apply. 1t is not practical
for the physicians to give their time to
vaccination work for they are too busy
now attending to cases of illness. Peo-
pie, not only from Webster City, but
from all parts of the county, will be
treated here Innoculation is recon-
mended by the Hamilton County Med
ical association and these physicians
strongly urge the people to take adj
vantage of the opportunity for VACCINE
alton. The epidemic of influenza is
ravaging the whole country. No cure
has yet been found applicable to all
cases but the medical profession gem
orally have full faith in the use of vac
cine, which is newly discovered so far
as concerns the Spanish influenza.

New Orleans, November 3o.--Seiling pressure was felt by cotton today, all most from the opening to- the close, com ing for the most part according to floor comment, from discouraged longs who were disappointed at the recent beha- vior of the market in the face, of the restrictions against short selling On the first call the strongest months were 5 points higher, but after the call offer ings increased and there was a gradual fall until trading months toward the end were SS to 96 points under the final quotations of yesterday. The close showed net losses of S5 to 93 points.
 Some, little hedge selling was noted at times during the day. Offerings were rot well absorbed at any buying, no buying power developing even on the increased export movement. Early in the day clearances from the Pacific coast and from ports in Georgia for foreign countries totaled A ,003 bales, the largest shipments in sometime. This, combined with the removal of export restrictions on Monday, caused much bullish talk about the probable size of exports for the cotton week ending next Friday, but without stimulating the demand for con- tracts. The spot department was quiet and prices were lowered by 50 points, which put middling down to 2s.75c. At the lowest of the day the January op- tion stood at 24.65c. After the close ad- ditional shipments of spot were reported which brought the movement for the day for foreign ports-up to 60,576 bales.

SEVERAL FACTORS REFLECT UNCERTAIN
 TONE OF MARKET
Dealings Were Dull and Very Narrow, Concentrat- ing Mainly on Steel,
 Rails and Shippings

New York, November 3o-The week end session of the stock market reflected in moderate degree the further uncer- tainty of traders and investors regarding problems of finance, commerce and labor.
 Dealings were dull and very narrow, concentrating mainly in United States steel, Southern Pacific and shippings, notably Marine preferred Movements in those groups were conflicting. steel dis playing moderate pressure, Marine yield ing half it's gain and Southern Pacific recording nominal loss after approxi- mating yesterdays high level.
 In other quarters were equally mixed Studebaker for example, recording the greater part of it's 2-point decline, while other motors and their accessories equip- ments were irregular with coppers, oils and dstilling issues, rails shading partly at the close.
