Voting Machine. Out in Story Count,

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Oct. 1s.-At a special
called meeting Of the board Of sup
crvisors Of Story county, held in this
city on Saturday, 1t was decided to
discard the use OF Abe automatic
voting machines so far as the coming
general election was concerned and
ballots and other supplies for an
election under the old Australian
| system were ordered.
The voting machines were pur-
chased by the board Of supervisors
but few months ago and were used
at the last primary election with sat
isfaction and success. They were not
equipped with the party lever, how
ever, and their use at this time was
not deemed advisable. The board ar
rived at the conclusion to go back to
the paper ballot. only after practic-
ally every other county in the state,
similarly situated. decided to make a
like move.

TUBERCULOSIS in GREECE.
More Prevalent There Than in Any
Other Country.

Other Country.
BY Associated Press.
2 Athens. Oct. 15.-Tuberculosis is
more prevalent in Greece than in any
other European country for which
reliable figures are available, with
the possible exception Of Serbia.
There ts no governmental or private
program for the control of the di-
sease. The number of physicians in
proportion to the population is one
to every 1900.
SIN the city Of Athens the death
rate from tuberculosis of the lungs
is 294 per 100000 Of population, which
is about twice as high as the rate
in the United States. The other
forms of the disease also are present.
making the total tuberculosis death
rate 800 per 100000 of population.
One death in every six is due to tu-
berculosis.
To deal with the disease the exist
ing agencies are very inadequate.
There is little or no hospital pro-
vision for the care Of the bulk Of the
population Of 100000. There are
less than score of general hospitals
in the country.
There is also an alarming preva-
lence Of typhoid fever, which at times
rises to the proportion Of an epidenn-
ic. Even in the larger cities such as
Athens the typhoid death-rate is
strikingly high. In the last three
year period for which satisfies are
available the rate was So per 10o,o
Of population. about five times As
high as the rate IN the United States.
The prevalence of this disease Is
due largely to the absence of sewers
and adequate and safe water supply.
No improvements in the water sup
ply or sewerage systems have been
made since 1908. The rudimentary
sewage system, where any exists, aft
fords little or no protection against
surface or underground contamina-
ton Of water supply. and no safe
guard against conveyance Of infec-
tiop.
In Athens plans have been drawn
by the national government to pro-
vide the city with adequate and mod
ern water and sewer systems. But
the execution Of these plans has
been delayed by the war. The water
supply in Athens is at present brought
In thru an acqueduct built by the
Emperor Hadrian nearly 1000 years
ago. In the summer months the water
is insufficient to carry off the sewage.

governor said the appointments must
be made before he retires from of
