HOSPITAL WOULD HELP
Those Who are In Position to Know,
Say That Checking Trouble Now
Would Mean Early Ending
OF Epidemic.

Keokuk's business houses, banks.
stores, iobbing houses and schools
are practically back on war basis
this week, as the result of inroads
made by the epidemic OF grippe, colds,
FLU" or whatever one chooses to call
il. Doctors are working practically
twenty-four hours OF the day, nurses
are in demand both in town, and in
the country, and prescriptions clerks
are buster than the head barber on
Saturday night
The suggestion has been made that
the emergency hospital established
last year be re-opened, and that the
spread of the disease be checked now
before it assumes as serious an aspect
as it did last year when pneumonia
followed flu People who are in
position to know say that checking
the disease now, through the opening
of the emergency hospital, will mean
the speedy stamping out OF the cpl
demic.
Whatever name the disease is called
by. it is laying its victims low, and
doing it in hurry. In one OF the big
offices in Keokuk yesterday there
were fifteen employees out on account
of illness. One of the banks had four
out: whole several of the stores have
casualty lists from three to ten clerks.

Schools Are Hit Hard.

Teachers are hard hit as well as
scholars in the schools in the city.
Thirteen substitutes were needed for
the teaching force of the public
schools yesterday, record for one
day. Out through the country the
rural schools are running with five
out of twenty-seven pupils In one
building, to one lone pupil with no
teacher available in another school,
SO that the school practically is closed.
Physicians are working practically
the entire day. One doctor had
thirty-three telephone calls yesterday
afternoon during the two hours he
was supposed to be in his office to
see patients. Besides these there
were many office visitors Other doc
tors are just as busy. One physician
said that he made calls all day up to
one o'clock this morning, and then
was called out of bed to make calls at
three o'clock, where people were SER
iously sick.
All of these calls bring demands for
medicine and the prescription clerks
in the drug stores are buster than the
BARRIERS on Saturday night at closing
time.
The disease seems to hit a solar
plexus jolt when it finally fastens its
grip on its victim. People start to
work feeling perfectly well, and have

dust had settled In my lungs. / couldn't
lie down on my right side, coughed so

FAVOR THROUGH MAIN ROADS
Motortrueks Expected to Play PronI-
nent Part In Transportation
Facilities.

England Is now debating roads for
motor transportation, for, although
she is amply equipped with railroads,
II Is believed that hereafter motor.
trucks viii play b prominent part in
the business Of the country. Systems
Of special highways are being mapped
out, and. the plans proposed include
an apparently excellent feature. To
avoid the delays and congestion Incl
dent on trayersing towns, It is sug-
gested that the main road be located
beyond the borders of the town, and
this would certainly expedite traffic,
as II would not be necessary for every
vehicle using the route to painfully
thread its way through every village
on the way. OF course this would not
appeal to the local tradesman who
hopes to catch an occasional penny
from the passing cars, nor to the local
magistrate who Initiates his own in
come, and the funds of his town, by
his Interpretation Of the law; but this
is a matter of national interest and
not to be restricted by petty local con-
derations.-Scientifc American.

"SLANG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE
Idlom Of Today In Correct Usage To
morrow, Declares University Pro
fessor Of English.

That the slang and idloms Of today
will be correct English tomorrow Is
the opinion of Prof H. Gllcksman of
the English department, University Of
Wisconsin.
"Our language is made up Of what
was once slang. idiom. colloquiallsm,
and jargon," he said lately, and
warned that the most deplorable fea-
ture about slang was its tendency to
produce mental slovenliness.
Professor Glicksman then referred
to the word "mob" as slang of 200
years ago and as such denounced in
the Spectator by Addison.
ut is an abbreviation of the word
mobile Even so the word pep is
vital and vIrlle and will survive with
the word 'snappy.' But to gain recog-
milton slang must be free from vul-
garity and cheapness," said Professor
Gllcksman.
"The term How. do you get that
wayT is condemned because It Is
meaningless, but the term he has a

Of push a word that has forged

feet apart and connected by struts to

USES OF ASPIRIN

advice.

Aspirin created sensation when in
troduced by Bayer over eighteen years
ago. Physicians at once proved Its
wonderful efficiency In the relief of
pain. The genuine, world-famous AS
pirin, In "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" is
safely taken by millions for Colds
Headache, Rheumatism, Neuralgia,

Neuritis, and Pain generally.
Be sure the "Bayer Cross" which is
the mark of true "Bayer Tablets Of
Aspirin" is ou each genuine package

cents and contain proper directions.

LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE
Report That Average Stature Of Amer
lean Men Was Affected by War
Declared Untrue.


The wholesale clothing manufactur-
ers assert that there has not been any
change In the size of their garments
since the war. They are manufacture
ing more garments, but the proportion
Of larger sizes is no greater now than
II was three years ago. In short, their
size patterns have not changed. Yet
changes would be necessary II the stat
ure Of American men had been affect
ed in any appreciable way by the year
and half or two years OF military
training.
Manufacturers of ready-to-wear
shirts and undergarments agree with
the clothing manufacturers that there
has been no change In their size pat
terms despite the reports Of numerous
individuals who take-"a size larger"
today than they did before the war.
As one manufacturer put It, the pro-
portion of soldiers who need larger
sizes in shirts or suits today than they
did two years ago Is so small that II
has no effect on wholesalers. Sales
men naturally remember certain indl-
vidual cases of increased chest develop
ment, but, taking the country by and
large, there has been no appreciable
change In the physique of the male
portion Of the population, at least as
far as their clothing is concerned.

SAVE PERISHABLE PRODUCTS
Rural Motor Transportation Affords
Opportunity to Get Crops to Mar

With the advent and development
Of rural motor transportation comes
direct encouragement to raise better
and bigger crops because Of the better
and broader market thus afforded. In
the production of marketable produce
there comes an opportunity for the
saving of perlshable products by
quick deliveries, and for higher prices
because OF the excellent condition In
which these commodities can be de-
