HELPS BOOST MERCURIE
Circulation Man So Busy He Resorts to Rhyme and Jingle
CAMPAIGN IS WELL STARTED
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 25, 1913.
Big Thermometer Registers 150 and Temperature is Rising—Solicitors Wanted.
The circulation man in charge of the Daily Kansan Thousand. New Subscribers campaign was busy. He had to write receipts, she had to write letters and he had to enter names on the big book and see to a dozen other matters. Perhaps he was so busy that his mind was slightly affected when a reporter sent him a letter in any rate, he began to talk in jingles—in some sort of rhyme.
His first words as he shoved back the pen and ink were something about "open your eyes, watch the rain," "rise," and then he started on this:
"How do I know?"
Why, the Kansan said so
Is what a freshman said.
Without that sheet
Don't be among the dead."
"You see, we must impress on the students how necessary our paper 18" he added, and before the report was ready, she had half way through this one:
"How do I know?
Why, the Kansan said so.
Will raise you from the dead."
Is what the wise one said.
The Kansan news with its college
views
The reporter started to say that some restorative would probably be necessary but the campaign man had started off on another theme:
But that we'll have goals to burn?"
On our football hope
And that Bramwell won't return?
That an unknown toe
With help from
"Have you read the dope
This was too much and the cub retreated as the jingler was explaining the moral—that he wanted everyone to help boost the mercury in the big thermometer on the campus by supplying for the University of Kansas.
At noon today the thermometer north of Fraser Hall registered 150 degrees, which means that Heide Kansan and Darly Kansan since the beginning of the Thousand New Subscribers campaign. Every ten names raises the mercury a notch and forty were registered in paper's subscription list yesterday.

ENDANGER STUDENTS BY USING BAD WELL WATER
Health Committee Learns Boarding Houses Are Not Boiling Water
That a number of boarding houses in the student district are endangered by student use, well, we need for drinking purposes has come to the knowledge of the University team common, which last issued health warnings against the use of such water.
The first week of school the committee made arrangements to test the city water daily, and so far has found it pure though bad tasting on adults and children. Public service used to eliminate all disease germs. At the same time the committee stated that the well water of the city was in very bad condition, and prohibited the listing of any water list? unless boiled well water or city water was used for drinking purposes.
Ten cases of typhoid in the early part of September among Lawrence and Warren are treated polluted well water, and a close watch is being kept on the city water to insure its purity, which so far has been good among the students have been reported.
In case the boarding houses in question fail to boil all well water in the basement, the mittee will take them from its approved list. The Daily Kansan will publish the names of all boarding houses that are not boiled. Students who find that their boarding houses are using unboiled well water may report the fact to the health committee for information. Prof. F. H. Billings is the chairman.
ARE THEY SHARPSHOOTERS?
Annual Marksmanship Competition
Comes in October.
The annual "shoot camp" for the University K. N. G. company will be held for six days, beginning October 15 and near Lawrence to be selected later.
Members of the company have a chance to get three titles if they hit the bulls-eye often enough. A pin and the rank marksman is given good shots and a badge with the title Sharpshooter is awarded to better shots by being promoted. Those by hitting the bell 210 times out of 250 trials are named Experts. Four men qualified as Experts last summer.
Captain Jones looks forward to a big year for his company. The government will send the user a uniform that is录取 is finished. Those who attend the "shoot" receive three cents a shot besides regular pay. Captain Jones says, however, the only of ammunition is not unlimited.
The Baptist young people will give a reception in the church parlorors of church, 700 Ky., Friday night for the students and their friends.

TYPHOID INOCULATION
FREE AGAIN THIS YEAR
Dean Crumbine Brought Ser um Today—Dr. Sundwall To Give Doses
Students of the University and members of the faculty will again be given the opportunity to attend a short course would fever this year, Dr. S. J. Crumblem, secretary of the State Board of Health and Dean of the School of Medicine to learn more about Lawrence day. It will be administered by Dr. John Sundwall of the School of Medicine free to all applicants. The treatment will be announced later.
Last year 150 students and faculty members were inoculated. The treatment consists of three hypodermic injections a week apart. In the first, about a billion typhus bacilli are administered, and the number increases with the second and third injections; the treatment is harmless, and according to Doctor Crumbine, is a certain preventive of typhoid fever.
"No case is on record where death has resulted from typhoid where the patient had been inoculated. Given the condition of sanitary engineering, last year contracted a mild case of the fever. He had received but one of the vaccines, he believed he would never have taken the disease if he had continued the treatment."
"everyone should be inoculated," he said this morning, "just as almost everyone is." The vaccine against alpens has been in the United States army for five years, and has given satisfaction under the strictest tests. At El Paso 12,000 men were encaused with the vaccine. All had been inoculated and not a single case of fever appeared except that of a camp steward, who had not been treated. At the same time an epidemic exiled among the citizens of El Paso.

Big Tackle Will Lead Foot ball Squad—Coolidge Not Out
At a meeting held last night of the K men eligible to play on this year's football team, Bill Weidlein, left tackle on the 1912 eleven, was elected captain of this year's squad, filling the vacancy left open by the absence of Willis Bramwell. Weidlein will immediately join Coach Coin Mosse and Leonard Frank are delighted with the choice of the player.
Practice was light last night since there were not enough men in uniform on the field to enable the coaches to give the quad a scrimmage. Bombardier's team drilled the term hard in their shift formations, and more speed is being shown daily by the line and back field in running out these plays. The goal of this drill is the team an opportunity to kick the pigskin every afternoon in his hope to develop a consistent punter for the Jayhawkman eleven. The work may be done with Wilson, who has led for Kansas in both the Nebraska and Missouri games.
Coolidge has not yet reported for practice, and Andy Groff, the big guard of his team, was pinned from his siege of typhoid fever in time to play in any conference games. These are the two games he will play with coaches are forced to contend so far.

GOES TO CHICAGO TOMORROW
Will Take up Fellowship in The University Granted Him Here Last Spring
Now that Homer Hoyt, honor student of the University of Kansas, has been transferred to the apartment of Kansas City, Kan., which tried to railroad him into jail, suit will probably not be brought against him. He is underordinates in the police department.
Another effort was made yesterday, but Judge Brady remarked that he thought forty days was sufficient evidence, the evidence and obtain witnesses.
This is the information received by the Daily Kansan in a long distance 'phone call from Kansas City police court yesterday that city detectives had been at work for forty days, since Hoyt was first arrested, attempting to gather enough evidence to convict him on any charge

Hoyt leaves Friday for Chicago to take up his graduate degree, and he will be awarded on the scholarship awarded him last year by the University of Kansas.
