New Years Eve To Tip-TOe In

New Years Eve in Palmer promises to be quiet at-home affair for most Valley folks, ac- cording to a last-minute check yesterday. Although several of the bars are planning festive evening, there is no central plan for welcoming the New Year to the Valley.
 Members of Northland Pioneer Grange will go to the Butte hall for a dance which begins at g o'clock. Dress for the evening vii be either formal or informal.
 Informal wear will be the rule at the parties and dances planned at the Wasilla lounge and the Shamrock lounge. Jukebox mus ic will supply tunes for Wasilla dancers, but the Shamrock has plans for an orchestra on New Years.
 Another hard-times dance is planned for the hall in the Steve Ward building, as part of the eel ebration at the Frontier bar.
 The Valley Theatre plans continuous show between the hours of 7:15 and midnight on New Years eve, but has no spec I ial celebration in mind.
 The Senior Ball, earlier an nounced for New Years eve, has been cancelled, members of the senior class of Palmer high school stated. The class was un. able to secure music for the eve ming, but will hold the ball early next month.

Undiagnosed Illness Hits
 Valley Folk

An epidemic, akin to flu in one respects but unlike it in
 ,.e1s, is striking the Valley. ne nalady, caused by virus lection, hits young and old I.e and is followed by many D.. lications which do not re- suit from flu.
 Dr. R. E. Garret, Valley phy- ician, said he had been unable D determine what the disease is for it is unlike anything he has known. He said he was not pre- pared to say whether it is the same type of virus infection which is sweeping through Los Angeles, where one out of every four residents has been ill.
 "It is possibly the same thing" he stated. However. I am not prepared to say that if is. at this time. Even if if is. the epidemic need not be fear ed here. for Alaska's sparse population will prevent its wholesale spread"
 Victims of the disease may be ill for several days and then ap- parently recover only to suffer relapse during convalescence. Dr. Garret cautioned that it is most important to avoid over exertion during the recovery per iod. One patient now confined to the Valley hospital has suffer ed four relapses, according to the physician.
 The disease may leave ear and throat infections as an after eff feet, or it may settle in the chest causing a type of bronchopneu- monia.
 Dr. Garret said the incidence
 of the disease is high. although the exact number of cases is
 not known. since many who
 were i'll were treated at home. The doctor was i'll himself and
 confined to the hospital during
 the Christmas holiday. During
 his illness. he cared for ali least a dozen patients daily. who ; came to the hospital seeking
 treatment.
 It is urged that all cases be reported to a physician immedi- ately. Early symptoms are vio- lent sore throat, headache, body aches and pains rise in tempera- ture and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting.
 Penicillin and sulfa drugs are used in treatment, augmented by hot footbaths, salt water gargles, inhalations and hot congresses. Patients should be particularly cautious about sleeping directly in drafts of cold air. Dr. Garret said he believed that the lack of sno7" ~e-ul in @ in dust storms du in ne Q z | few weeks, was .4ec factor in bringii g on the disease

Ire chances of a traveller accom-

the Gaines Dog Research Center,
New York City, indicates.
Returns on a QUESTIONABLE sent by
the Center to a list Of 200 represen-
tative hotels scattered throughout
the country show that SO per cent
admit guests with dogs. An Illinois
hotel stated its policy thus, 'The dog
is mans best friend and we welcome
friends of our guests"
A number of the hotels stated that
they permitted only small, we'll
behaved dogs, while quite a few
mentioned that they required guests
with dogs to sign a statement of re-
sponsibility for any damage done to
hotel property. Some have special
rooms set aside for the use of guests
with dogs. Quite few of the hotels
welcoming dogs either have special
kennels or have plans TO install them.
One manager remarked that he allows
dogs in guests room as long as the

The manager of an upstate New

set of rules for dog owners as a
means of overcoming the most COM

ence of dogs:
l. Dogs should be kept on leash
when in public rooms and passage

between strange dogs and other dis

The Gaines Dog Research Center
urges dog owners travelling with ca
nine pets TO make mention Of this
fact when making reservations. If he
plans to say at a hotel having spe-
cial rooms set aside for guests with
dogs, this guest usually finds 1t adj
vantageous to occupy one of these
rooms, since they are generally lo-
Gated for convenience in taking the
dog in and out of the building for
exercising.

Nutritious Food

The gold color in a sweet potato
is a sign Of carotene richness which
the body converts into vitamin A.
In addition, sweet potatoes offer
vitamins B and c, small quantities
of minerals and sugar. Their
starch and sugar together make
sweet potatoes an economical

Stimulates Egg Laying

At one time it was thought that
lights increased egg production in
the winter months due TO a longer
day which gave the hens more time
to eat. Later research has shown
that the increased production is due
to the lights stimulating the pitu-
itary glands of the chickens through
the eyes, and this in turn stimu-
lates activities of the reproducing
organs.
