The Secretary Of the Iowa State Board
of Health Predicts That Disease
VIII Make Presence
Felt.
SOME CASES REPORTED
There 10 Some Influenza and Typhoid
Fever in Many Communities at
Present Time-Not Yet
Serious.

DR.. G.. H. Sumner, the secretary OF
the Iowa state board OF health, says
that influenza and typhoid fever Will
both be present this winter.
Typhoid fever is usually prevalent
during the fall Of the year, especially
IL the season has been dry, Cases OF
this disease are being reported to the
state board of health practically
every day now and while there are
no epidemics, there are communities
which have several cases.
Secretary Sumner of the state
health board has limited supply OF
typhoid vaccine which he is distribut-
ing free to local boards Of health and
health officials.
He declares that as soon as people
begin to live indoors the influenza
epidemic will reappear. He says the
death toll may be serious, but not
SO serious as last year. He declares
further that there is no known pre-
yentative for influenza.
1.-THE best means of preventing In
|fiuenza is common sense" he said in
a statement issued today. avoid
infected persons and large crowds Of
people and above all do not become
excited and get panicky."
However, there are those who do
not agree with the idea that because
influenza was prevalent year ago
it will again prevail this fall and
winter. There is theory that this
disease originated in Europe and
spread throughout the world because
of the soldiers and others travelling
back and forth and because large
numbers of men were congregated in
confined areas.
1t is the opinion or many physi-
clans that those who have once had
the disease are immune, but this is
another point on which doctors do
not agree. On this point DR.. Sum-
Iner says:
'In comforting with a large num-
Der of physicians here 1T is believed
that persons who suffered from in
fluenza and recovered last year will
be less susceptible, II not immune,
this year"
The people of Iowa should know
that they can be vaccinated against
that dreadful disease, typhoid fever,
and it is their duty to do so. The
Iowa state board of health has a
limited supply of typhoid vaccine
which will be distributed free to the
local boards Of health and their
health officers for use among the
people, and if so distributed, physi-
clans should donate their services in
vaccinating all who apply.

Home builders more and more are
selecting bungalow designs for their
new dwellings. There are so many hne
things about a bungalow that they ap-
peal to the family, especially the
women members, that intends to build.
There is combined exterior beauty with
convenience, the rooms being all on
one floor, making the work of caring
for the home less arduous, as there
are no stairs to climb. And modern
efficiency demands that only rooms
that are to be used daily be put into a
home.
Here is shown a bungalow of rare
beauty. 1t has not the squat" effect
that so many bungalows have, and the
gable roof gives space for an ample
garret, which is not only useful as a
storage room, but provides for a coed
circulation of air, an advantage both
In winter and summer, as 1t makes the
house both warmer and cooler.
Because of the balance of this de-
sign, 1t might be called Colonial"
bungalow. The entrance door is exact
ly In the center Of the house, while on

will be wasted In getting TO the he'.tinl

basement for the heater and the fuel

Is stored, and lawn and garden uten-

While no stairway to the attic Is

placed where the closet of the hall Is
placed, or by installing movable
stairway In one of the bedrooms. TIL"
moveable stairway fits into the ceiling
and can be lowered ready for service
whenever wanted. This is a great
space saver, especially adapted to
bungalows.
From the description and by study
OF both the floor plan and the perspec
tive, it will readily be seen that this
is an exceptionally good bungalow de
sign. f+AF
Building Is the most satisfactory way

Der of rooms that are needed for the
family, the room arrangement in nc
cordance with the ideas Of the per
sons who are to live In It, and the TX
terror that comedies with what the
individual regards as attractive, all are
obtained by the prospective builder
when he selects his own design, or has
one drawn according to his ideas by
an architect.
Many pitfalls, however, await the in
experienced home builder. His ideas.
or some of them, may not be practi-
cable. The safest plan for the prospec-
tive builder is to consult an architect.
the contractor who he expects will
build the house, and the lumber or ma
terial dealer who will supply the ma
| terials of which the home is to be con
istructed. All three Of these men have
