Waterman said he thought all of the
automobiles in the state of Iowa
were in town.
Registration of automobiles in
Iowa this year will total 1850 in
the opinion of Secretary of State w.
c. Ramsay Up to the present time
the total registrations have been
about $4,000. Difficulty in getting
license plates from the factory is
causing county treasurers and the
state department considerable trou-
Bile. A shipment was received by
the department Tuesday and a total
of 10000 pairs is expected this
week. II is expected that this ship
ment will enable the county treasur-
ers to catch up with their registra-
tions. The state department has
just placed an additional order for
$4,000 plates for this years use. In
ability to get the steel is said by the
plate makers to be the cause Of the
delay.

GETTING DRY IN BERLIN

Berlin is getting parched. and
peevish, that is to say the town is
forced to do without it's beer. The
brewery workers are on strike, and
their pickets, in force, prevent the
delivery of the grateful amber liquid.
A funny beer strike is on in
Bremen and Brunswick. The pro-
pIietors of hotels, restaurants, inns
and beer halls are striking against
a 100 percent increase in the price
of beer to those whe dispense il.
These proprietors vow that at the
new rate they would have to charge
so much for a stein or seidl that the
middle or working classes who drink
most of the beer, would have to go
thirsty.
Life in Berlin and throughout
Germany is just one strike and
threatened strike after another. Only
an expert statistieian can keep track
CT them. The Hamburg hotel keep
ers are striking against guests; that
is they refuse to receive any until
their own dispute over wages with
their employees is fought to a finish.
The strike of sailors and workers on
inland shipping is tying up more
than 1000 small crafts with disas-
trous results.
Many cargoes of perishable food
have spoiled including more than
5000 tons of potatoes, which rotted
during long delay in their transit
TO Berlin.

IOWA PHYSICIANS IN
ANNUAL MEETING


Physicians and surgeons of the
state of Iowa opened their seth
annual convention Wednesday morn
ing at Hotel Fort Des Moines with
DR.. William l.. Allen of Davenport
presiding.
Dr. Charming G.. Smith of Granger
extended the welcome of the Polk
County Medical society to the mem
bers of the convention, and the re-
spouse was made for the delegates
by DR.. Charming E. Dakin of Mason
City.
The feature paper of yesterdays
session was given by DR.. Frank M.
Fuller of Keokuk on the disease
commonly known as sleeping sick
ness This disease, DR.. Fuller
stated, was misnamed, as it display
ed in many cases a direct antithesis
of sleep.
The disease, which took root in
eastern Europe early in 1917, spread
through Austria, Belgium and
France, and in 1919 reached our
eatern coast. 1t became almost ep-
idemic, and was observed almost
simultaneously with its appearance
in the east, in several of the middle
western states.
No organism has yet been demon
strated to be the cause of the dis
ease. 1t is believed to be virus
or poison that gains entrance into
the tissue and causes a change in.
the tissue of the brain or in the
ganglia at the base of the brain. A
victim of the disease often is sub
jected to acute insomnia, delirious-
ness, and reactions similar to those
caused by acute alcoholism.
DR.. Fuller has observed a num-
ber of cases of this disease in Iowa,
and in his paper explained the
methods adopted to effect cure.

EASY TO SAVE MONEY

That it is easier to save money now
notwithstanding the high cost of liv-
ing, than it was years ago, is the con
tention of the Ohio War Savings Com
mittee which has just issued sche-
dule Of prices and wages paid centur-
les ago to prove its assertion.
] In the middle of the 18th century
eggs were two cents dozen, goose
cost cents and hen 2 cents. Butter
was 2 cents a pound and beef a half
cent. Milk sold for 2 cents a gallon
and cheese for one cent pound. By
the 10Th century butter had gone to
6 cents pound, beef and pork to one
cent pound and sugar to 27 cents.
In the 18th century chickens had ad-
vanced to 81 cents each, butter to IL
cents pound, cheese to 5 cents lb.
milk to cent pint and meat to 8
cents pound.
In spite Of these prices, however,
it was just as hard to get the where
with to buy as at present, for the
incomes were equally small. From r.
90 to 1900, A. D., the everage wage
for 1nshlled labor was 8 cents day.
In fact<in 1347 wages had dropped to-
2 cents "a day for long days work,
but after the great pleague of the
Black Death they advanced to 5 cents
day, continuing to advance until
they reached so cents day in 1900.
The worker Of the old day was un-
able to secure interest on his savingss
nor was he offered a safe opportunity
to invest. Government Savings Off
cials here pointed out that the present
day workman not only could save mo-
ney because of high wages, but that
he had an opportunity to secure in
terest on his savings. They declared
the working man could not find a SAT-
er investment now than War Savings
Stamps.
