COMA
SPREADS SLOWLY
Sleeping Sickness" Pre-
valent in State Can be Con-
trOlled
NO CONNECTION WITH
FIUE OR AFRICAN FEVER
DIR. Henry Albert, State Bacteriolo-
gist, Declares Epidemic Coma is
Relatively New Disease
Undoubtedly Due to
Germ
Germ

Sleeping sickness" or epidemic
coma is a relatively new disease to
physicians, states DR.. Henry Albert,
state bacteriologist and professor at
the University of Iowa. Fortunately
the disease spreads slowly. Although
a considerable number of cases have
developed in Iowa DR.. Albert be-
lieves it can be controlled by proper
precautionary measures.
The disease came here from Eng
land where it was present last year
as an epidemic. In Austria it was
first known to exist in 1917. Many
physicians, DR.. Albert asserts, be-
lieve an intimate connection exists
between it and influenza since it
Immediately succeeded the influenza
epidemic in both England and this
country. There is nothing to sub
stantiate this theory.
Sleeping sickness" is undoubted-
ly due to a germ, thinks DR.. Albert,
because it spreads like other in
fictitious diseases mainly thru the
respiratory tract. The sert ousness
of the disease should lead to great
precautions. These in the main may
be observed by covering 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 being
a misleading one and suggests in
stead Of the scientific name which is
too long for common use, lethargic
encephalitis, that epidemic coma be
substituted. This latter term is being
used to some extent. Sleeping sick
ness" is too apt to be confused with
the well known sleeping fever"
which attacks the natives of Africa
with such virulence. There is no
connection between the two diseases.
The same precautions which are
employed to guard. against influenza
will safeguard the individual from
epidemic coma. Early symptoms Of
the new diseases are a tendency to
see double and a great feeling of
drowsiness.

TEACHERS WAGES DON'T KEEP
THEM.
Iowa City's Appalling Showing
Waterloo Has Been Next to
Lowest.

Iowa City, Ia.-That' Iowa City
school teachers are unable to live
upon the wages paid them, is the
contention of the teachers who have
been investigating the cost of living
compared to the wages received.
1t was found by compiling data
from questionaires submitted to
teachers that the average living ex-
pense for the past year has been
II per cent more than the wages
paid.
An organized effort is being made
to influence the school board to
grant substantial raise for the
coming year and a system of bonus
es for the past years work.
Waterloo, Ia.-H. D. Lee, Han
cock, Mich, was elected superin-
tendent of the West Waterloo schools
at salary Of $4,000 to succeed A.
T. Hukill, resigned, who has been
superintendent for the past twenty
years. The new school head is to re-
ceive $1,000 more a year than has
been paid before. S. NJ. Wallace was
reelected principal of the high
school.
In East Waterloo c. w. Kline was
reelected at an increase of $3.50 a
Jear, or $3.50. F. ]. Miller was re-
elected high school principal at a
salary of $4,000.
Report Of a special committee on
teachers salaries for the two dis
tricts in Waterloo showed the city
next to the lowest in monthly scale
among the larger cities of the state.

Rural Carriers on Horseback.

Manson, lathe rural mail car
riers started out on horseback Mon
day morning to make their deliver
les of mail to the farmers. Automo-
biles have been simply out of the
question the past week and finally
the mud got so deep that even horse
drawn vehicles were almost impos-
sible. DIR. Prettyman made his calls
on horseback last week and other
doctors went by buggy and had a
hard time of it at that. At funeral
last Sunday four horses were neces-
sary to draw a light old fashioned
hearse that was requisitioned for
use. This section Of Iowa has not en-
dured such awful roads for many
years and the effect on retail bust
ness and the grain and livestock
trade is depressing. If Iowa is to
maintain her high prices for farm
land and consequent high rentals
she must soon provide method OF
building roads that will be at least
passable for ten or eleven months
of the year. AS it has been the past
three or four months, Iowa, especial
ly the northern part of it, has had
practically no roads for either auto
mobile or horse-drawn vehicles.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
tlavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of fiavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old BUrley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

BURIAL.
Iowa Soldier Almost Buried Alive at
Argonne and Relates Story.

Charles City, Ia.--A soldier from
here connected with the airplane

Two returned soldiers who were
visiting here CHANGED to speak Of
their work in the Argonne region
before Mr.. WilcoX's sister, who re-
marked that she had a brother in
that section, when one of the SOL
diers said he must have been the
soldier who came so near being
buried alive, and this was all the
family learned until he returned
and was asked about it.
Wilcox's duties were observation
man and tester of instruments and
on one ascention the airplane fell
to the ground and the pilot was
killed and Wilcox was unconscious
for some time.

dead, prepared him for burial, wrap
ped in an American flag and placed

RURAL TEACHER GETS 500.
Allamakee County Breaks the Salary
Record.

Waukon, lathe Evergreen
school board of Post township, offer
ed Miss Addie Williams of this city
$50 month for the spring term in
their district. Her sister, Miss Ella,
will accept the offer at the same
salary.
This is the highest salary ever
offered in a rural school in ALA
makee. Teachers are scarce and
many are leaving the profession on
account of low salaries.
School boards here have begun
to realize that they must either raise
teachers wages or close their
schools.

Don't Pasture Too Closely.

Wait until grass has good start be-
fore turning in stock in the spring
Do not turn stock on a pasture as
soon as the first green grass begins
to show. When fed down too early
the grass is weakened and never
makes strong stand.
Before turning the stock into the
pasture, the grass" should be we'll
started and show good covering
over the entire ground. In this part
of the country, the pastures are
generally ready for to stock about
the first of May, tho in some places
il is desirable to keep the stock on
until May Is. 1t is better to wait too
long than to be too hasty.
