Doctor Henry Albert. State eactsri.
oIosist, Declares Epidemic Coma 10
a Relatively New Disease, un-
doubtsdiy Due to Germ, and May Be
Prevented by Proper Precautions.

Special to Times Republican.
iowa City, March Sl.-"Sleeplng
sickness" or epidemic coma is rela-
lively new disease to physicians,
states DIR. Henry Albert, state bacter-
iologist and professor az the Univer-
sity OF Iowa. Fortunately the disease
spreads slowly. Although consid-
cradle number OF cases have developed
In Iowa DR.. Albert believes it can be
controlled Gy proper precautionary
measures.
The disease came here from England
where 1t was present last year as an
epidemic. In Austria it was first known
to exist In 1917. Many physicians, DR..
Albert assert believe an intimate con-
rection exists between it and influenza
Stree 1t Immediately succeeded the in
fiuenza epiien,tc In both England and
this country. There is nothing to sub
stantiate this THEORY.
Sleeping sickness Is undoubtedly
ly due to a germ, thinks Dr.. Albert, be-
cause it spreads like other infectious
diseases mainly thru the respiratory
tract. The seriousness Of the disease
should lead to great precautions. These
in the main MAJ be observed by cover
ing every cough and sneeze and by
washing the hands in soap and water
before every meal.
DR.. Albert criticises the popular term
sleeping sickness as bein a mislead-
ing one and suggests instead of the
scientific name which is too long for
common use, lethargic encephaiitis,
that epidemic coma be substituted.
This latter term is being used to some
extent. "Sla aDing sickness" is too
APT to be confused with .he we'll known
sleeping fever which attacks the ma
tives of Africa With such virulence.
There Is no connection between the two
diseases.
The same precautions which are en-
ployed to guard against influenza will
safeguard the Individual from epidem-
ic. coma. Early symptoms of the new
disease are a tendency to see double
and a great feeling Of drowsiness.

Des Moines, March s1-The tanks.
the Treat EN- Rough" tanks are COM
Ing to iowa to help Uncle Sam sell
the victory liberty bonds. -Four Of them
are now en- route, one to Davenport,
one to Des Moines, one t8 Sioux CITY,
and one to Mason City. These will be
distributing points frorQ which the
tanks will be shipped, Ind an effort
will be made by the liberty loan
organization to exhibit one Of these
tanks in every county.
These tanks are part Of the "mos-
quito fleet, the .two-man tanks-the
latest development Of war machinery.
1t was found that these smaller tanks
were more mobile. could move faster,
and required SO much smaller crew
that they were far more efficient for
offensive warfare than the big tanks.
They are of the caterpiNer type. It
waaDhrst intended to start these tanks
under their own power and let them
traverse the roads Of lows. At least
this was the suggestion Of the federal
chairman at Chicago but he was not
acquainted With the character Of
Iowa roads. Furthermore, these tana1
are not ispeedsters, four miles an hour
being their limit. It - planned, there
fore, to send the tanks from one
county seat to another W train ana
nllow them to spend practically one
day at each county sea- town. This
will give opportunity fora big meeting
and a series Of stunts. Local authori-
ties will be asked to prepare barbados
and imitation shell holes somewhere
On the main street and give these
tanks an opportunity to demonstrate
what they can do. The tanks will be
in charge OF the crews that were ORR
ginally assigned to them for overseas
duty. 49, M "a

How Diphtheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression, My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria, :" when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one par ticularly susceptible to the wand ering diphtheria germs. If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the streets until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diph- theria or any other germ disease being contracted. Adv.

Blaze Causes Excitement.

The barber and shoe shop be- longing to J. s. and Alexander Shreeve was destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon during a high wind storm.
 The fire was caused from a gaS- oline stove in the barber shop. which exploded throwing fire all over the room. Nothing was saved except shoe sewing ma chine in the shoe department.
 Jim Shreeve had his hand very badly burned while trying to ex- tinguish the flames.
 The cry of fire was heralded throughout the city and a large crowd gathered. bucket brigade was formed and fought heroically to save the ware houses belonging to the A. c. M. I.
 For some considerable time it looked as though the fire would surely reach t h e surrounding buildings. Goals as large as a walnut were found on top of the Cash Store and the windows in east side of new Isaacson build ing were broken with the heat.
 The loss is estimated at $500.
 A subscription list was circu- lated and about $50, % was raised to help Jim start up in business again. Most every one donated a little. G6no

Council Votes High
 Pool Hall License

By a vote of three to two the town council at it's meeting on Tuesday night put a license on pool halls conducted within the corporate limits of Snowflake that will cause quite a bit of revenue to enter the town treasury, pro- vided enough halls take out li- cense. The usual price of a pool hall license in Arizona towns is $2.50 per quarter, but if one wants to show" in Snowflake, $200 per quarter will first have to be pro- duced. We suppose the $200 is for each table. Now, all who want to start a pool hall in Snow- flake, hold up your hands. - Snowflake Herald.

HOME AGAIN.

Yes, from far distant shore. Sheldon Hale, son of MT. and Ms. Michael Hale, of Greer, ar rived in St. Johns last Sunday evening from France via Fort Bliss, Texas. The Mdretania, the ship on which he took pas sage arrived at New York, Mar. 9th. He was in the big parade at New York. Sheldon says that he likes England and France fine, but to him there is no place like the dear old U. s. A.
 Although he did not get into the fight, he says he was near enough to suit him, as orders had come for them to move to the front and were on their way when the armistice was signed and were within a few miles of the front on November 11th.
 He says that there is nothing like soldering to take the kinks out of a man and although he was treated fine he does not want any more soldering. He was in the service II months and gained 35 pounds.
 He brought home as a souvi- neer a helmet and gas mask.
