NOT WORRYING OVER POLITICS
 MBRIDE SAYS

Leaving Juneau on his first trip to the states since the November cleo tion, Republican National Committee man J. c. Mcbride said he would visit Pacific coast cities and later go east, probably being in Washington for the inauguration of President Harding, says the Empire.
 q am not worrying over political appointments" said MT. Mcbride just before leaving. "When the time comes for making recommendation they will be made to the proper au- thorities. I am confident that George c. Hazelet will be appointed govern or of Alaska and I know that his ap- pointment will be in accord with the wishes of the rank and file of Alas kans and pleasing to the Republicans who sent him as delegate to the con- vention in Chicago last summer which nominated Senator Harding for president
 When l publicly endorsed MT. Hazelet's candidacy for governor and promised him my whole support, did so with the knowledge that the Republican organization and the Re- publican party in Alaska were be- hind me and would work with me. There has been nothing that has oc- cured since that time to cause me to doubt the wisdom of that action or it's propriety. And repeat now what said then, I will do everything in my power to see that George c. Hazelet is appointed governor of Alaska"
 Regarding other Alaskan appoint ments, MT. Mcbride said that he had no statement to make at tins time. The gubernatorial question, he said will be taken care of first, and until it is out of the way, there will be little opportunity to do anything else.
 MT. Mcbride will be accompanied by Mrs. Mcbride, who plans to visit her mother in Philadelphia for sev- eral weeks. The date of their re- turn to Juneau is indefinite.

Resolution
} The following resolution endorsing
District Attorney Leicht, was adopted:
Whereas, the New Era club of
Wausau, is committed unreservedly to
the principles of good citizenship and
believes in the rigid and unflinching
enforcement of all the laws particu-
larly the laws which make for clean
living and for better physical, men
tai and moral atmosphere throughout
our common life,
Whereas, we believe that any per-
son who persistently and knowingly
violates any provision of our state or
federal constitutions, or any statute
enacted Hereunder, is an enemy to the
community in which he lives, and that
every such offender should be brought
to trial and punished in the manner
that shall seem to be best calculated
TO dissuade men from repeating the vi
Iolation of law. Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the New Era
lclub of Wausau, do commend the Wig
lOrous, fearless and persistent service
of George j. Leicht, district attorney
of Marathon county, in his well direct
ed effort to stem the tide of violations
of the laws recently enacted for pro-
l,hibiting the manufacture and distri-
Ilbution of intoxicating liquors. That
/ we heartily endorse his stand as az
officer and as a citizen, and pledge
to him our answering support in his
efforts to that end"

off into coma or unconsciousness all
the time, although 1t Is expected that
the epidemic will rapidly decline with
the approach of spring.
Sleepiness, drowsiness, then, are the
chief symptoms of the disease, which
DR.. Osler has described as "a diffuse
inflammation of the brain substance
Yet recently We have also been in
formed that sleeping sickness may not
be sleepy at all, but may produce an
extremely wakeful state, in which the
patient is feverish and restless.
+ - The Hieeup Plague.
| It is all very bewildering, even to
the doctors. and now comes the hic-
cup epidemic to complicate matters
Are hiccups a part of the restless as
pect Of sleeping sickness, or are they
a. manifestation of some new and in
dependent germ, working >on its own
erratic course? No one knows. We
do know that the case Of sustained
hiccups have suddenly sprung up both
in Europe and this country, and that
sometimes they occur alone and unac-
companied by any other disease.
"Pathologically. this prevalence OF
hiccups seems to be associated with
irritation of the phrei nerve from
gastro-intestinal disturbance; from
neuroses or from remote disturbances
of the central nervous system not yet
determined" says one authority,
writing for a medical journal.
"In pneumonia or typhoid fever, hic-
cups perhaps due primarily to the ef-
fects Of bacterial toxins, may be SER
ious complicatins factor, even causing
death.
an the epidemic through which we
are now passing, many cases have oc-
Cured in. which patients hiccoughed
every three or four seconds for per-
iods Of a week or longer.
"Lhermitte points out that the. first
appearance of the epidemic of which
he knows occurred in, Vienna in the
winter Ol lSlJ-SU. - Leii Sc iAoihoNAS "a
persons were suddenly attacked with
spasms of hiccups and did not respond
to treatment. In most cases they ceas-
ed of their own accord after q few
days but there was one case in which
they persisted for a month, the patient
having only a few hours rest each
day."
This authority also asserts that
there have been hiccup epidemics for
centuries, none of which has ever been
understood. The same mechanical
therapeutic measures have always
been used-pressure on the eyeballs
or on the spine; compression OF the
arms, swallowing a chunk of bread
and influencing the diaphragm by for
chile fexIon Of the legs. The same
measures are used today. The only
thing new in the hiccup situation is
the suspected connection with enceph-
aiitis, which seems only to deepen
the mystery.
