Make Investiga
tion as to Public
Health Problems
United States Public Health Bureau
Does Great Work in Com
bating Disease
The Hyginic Laboratory has main
tained its traditional excellence of
work and output. The timeless of
the studies on pellagra have been
demonstrated by the application of
results to an unusual prevalence of
this disease in the flooded areas in
the South. The value of the studies
on tularamia is shown by the fact
that the disease has now been found
in 34 States and the District of Col
umbia, and that transmission by an
other form of tick, in addition to
that already known, has been demon
strated. By the publication of suit
able papers it is hoped that know
ledge of the means of recognition and
prevention of these diseases has been
furnished to health officials and phy
sicans. The cooperative studies of
tuberculosis in which the researches
of a number of outstanding institut
ions are coordinated, have made ex
cellent progress and constitute a dem
onstration of the value of such an ar
rangement when similar or related
work is being carried on in a number
cf places. The studies of Malta fever
have furnished further evidence of
the danger to man, not only of con
tracting the disease from goats, but
also acquiring an indistinguishable
condition from cattle. The studies
in typhus fever have proved oppor
tune, inasmuch as there is an ap
parent increase in the incidence of
this disease in portions of the coun- 1
try; and while there is no definite
menace of a large epidemic, the need j
for more knowledge is urgent. Stud
ies of trachoma, pneumonia, epidemic
encephalitis, and vaccination seque
lae have been continued with satis
factory progress. Further studies of
narcotic addition indicate a reduction
of the numbers of habitues, and con-
ill All. Iflll MX j
at that addition is, generally, a symp
tom of neuro-psychopathic make-up.
Work on the critical assembling of
data on the parasites of man and
other hosts and the preparation of
results for publication have made
good progress. Studies on syphilis
have indicated the possibility of more
rapid progress in the control of this
disease through more 11 tensified
forms of treatment. Further advance
has been made in the knowledge of
of the method of action of potent
drugs which may lead to improve
ments in their preparation. Good
progress had been made in the study
of the universal phenomenon of oxi
dation as applied to questions of pub
lic health interest. The work of con
trolling the sale of biologic products
has continued to furnish an imuort-
ant service to the public. The out
standing accomplishment of the year
in this respect has been the prepar
ation of standard test substances for
the potency of biology products used
in the prevention and treatment of
scarlet fever. A license was issued
for a serum to be used in the treat
ment of snake bites.
SLUSH, ELECTIONS
GROUP IN BREAK
Washington, Feb. 3. The senate's
slush fund and elections committee
came to a parting of the ways late
Thursday on the counting of the bal
lots in the Vare-Wilson senatorial
contest from Pennsylvania.
After conferring with chairman
Waterman of the elections sub-committee.
Senator Reed of Missouri,
chairman of the campaign funds
committee, wrote to David S. Barry,
the senate sergeant-at-arms, direct

Pennsylvania ballots to the elections
committee.
COSGRAVE MAKES
IMMIGRANT BID
New York. Feb. 3. William T.
Cosgrave, head of the Irish Free
State, Thursday invited Americans
to go to the land of the shamrock
and make money.
Addressing the New York Bond
club, where he regarded his audi
ence as the "cream of the financial
interests In this, the money market
of the world," he said that Ireland
still has "great untapped resources
which will be found to repay your
expenditure of energy, money and
skill."

Beal Elected.
Other county attorneys did not

that delays and legal obstructions

discussion promised to be lively the
motion to table the ' resolution was

Beal's resolution the county attor

Warden W. T. Fenton of the Ne

the sheriffs to take a strong position
in favor of keeping the death pen

crime through more thorough organ

C. E. Demig, secretary of the Okla

spoke on law enforcement in that
state. Curry W. Watson, secretary

FREE STATE IN A DRIVE
Dublin, Irish Free State, Feb. 2.
The free state authorities today be
gan a drive on those believed to be
responsible for the recent alleged con
spiracy against the life of James
McNeill, the new governor-general.
The first step of the authorities was
the arrest of two ' women, declared
to be agritators. The defendants
whose names were not made public
were remanded for trial on a charge
of conspiring with persons unknown
to publish criminal and malicious
libel concerning the free state governor-general
and the minister of
justice and others and to incite mem
bers of the public to murder the
governor-general and other officials.
The specific basis of the alleged
offence was the posting of inflam
matory bulletins just before Mr. Mc
Neill's arrival in Dublin where he
took the oath of office yesterday.

A very pleasing crowd was present
at the American Legion meeting held
last night in the community build

in thi Tnrimia nYiflaoR nf worlC in
i which the Legion is engaged.
J Commander Kiel named a commit-

I tures and one of the .U. S. navy's
part in the war. were also included
in the offering, together with short
"cuts" of American scenic films, etc.
The program was a most enjoyable
one, and particularly the war films,
showing some of the places in which
many of those present had been dur-
though no one recognized any of his
war-time buddies in the views, the
scenes brought back memories of a
decade ago when they were doing
their bit for Uncle Sara in "sunny"

Mr. Weyrich received a vote of

Cass County Has
Good Showing in
Law Enf orcem't
Report of State Sheriff Shows Ex
i cellent Condition in Law En
forcement in All Lines.
Prom Saturday's Dally
The report of State Sheriff Condit
which was made at the meeting of
the association of sheriffs and county
attorneys at Omaha this week, gives
a very fine showing for the work
of the Cass county officers in the
enforcement of the laws of the state.
The report also praises the assistance
that the county and city officials in
this and other counties have given
in the apprehension of crimes of all
natures.
This is one of the outstanding
counties in having the fines levied
for the violations of the liquor law
all paid up and in addition to the
fines levied and paid there was 4 80
jail days levied on the law violators.
This county had two sent to the
state penitentiary for the violation
of the liquor law and was only
exceeded by one county in thi3 re
spect which had three to go up for
the severe sentence.
In the past a great deal of praise
has been given for the manner in
which the law is enforced here and
where the officials without show or
bumbast carry out their duties and
preserve the laws of the state and
city and holding the law as a guard
ian of the safoty and peace of the
people of the county and not a means
of terrorism.
, The showing in this county is very
pleasing and reflects the greatest
credit on the offices of the sheriff
and county attorney as well as the
police departments of the various
towns of the county.
PROMISING FRUIT CROP
Auburn, Febr. 4. The report;
comes rrom the fruit district in the
east part of this county that a prom
ising peach crop-is in sight at the
present time. G. E. N. Sanders, one
of the best posted fruit men in south
eastern Nebraska, says that some
times the January or winter freeze
destroys the peach crop, but that up
until now no harm has been done,
and with fair weather conditions this
partof the state will have- a bounti
ful peach crop. ' John Furnas, who
specializes in the strawberry and
grape line reports the same outlook
for the berry crop and grape crop,
although he says we will probably
not have as heavy a grape crop this
year as we did last. Last year, Mr.
Furnas says, was an exceptional
grape season.

Cass County School Teacher Eas
This Experience at Green
wood This Week.
nf,.,io nifht while Claude
Hewitt, young school teacher from
the vicinity of Louisville, was n
route home from Lincoln where he
had visited his mother in the hos
pital, he had a most serious exper
ience in an auto accident and on-;
that he will long rememb. r.
The young man on starting home
had been sleepy and hoped to drive
away the ned for sleep as he made
the miles over the highway but in
stead he was more and more over
come for the need of sleep and would
doze off for a few seconds along the
road and wh"n his car was at the
outskirts of Greenwood he fell asleep
and was wrecked as the result.
The car of Mr. Hewitt was found
in a ditch along the highway lead
ing to the main section of the town
of Greenwood late Monday night by
Officer George Trunkenboltz, who
when ho noticed the car found Mr.
Hewitt with one hand protruding
from tho open door of the car and
the other hand still resting on the
steering wheel. At first it was
thought that the young man had
been killed but after Dr. N. D. Tal
cott had been tailed it was found
that the young man was unconscious
but apparently otherwise uninjured.
It was several hours after the acci
dent before Mr. Hewitt came to suf
ficiently to give an account of the
accident and the details that had
preceded the accident. After remain
ing at Greenwood for the rest of the
night Mr. Hewitt was able to resume
his homewar Journey feeling little
the worse for the experience but the
