DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS

   I had found 1886.

   11 March 1876, DAILY NEVADA STATE JOURNAL, pg. 2?, col. 4:
   HALF FARE.--Several Benoites took a vantage of the half fare tickets
offered to those who were to attend the ball given by the railroad boys at Carson
last night, and attended it.  It's dollars to doughnuts all enjoyed themselves.

  ALL THAT JAZZ

   The song "All That Jazz" is in musical CHICAGO.  The setting is supposed
to be the 1920s, but the CASSELL DICTIONARY OF SLANG gives "all that jazz" from
the 1950s.  I couldn't do better.

   4 February 1946, BERKSHIRE EVENING EAGLE (Pittsfield, Mass.), pg. 10, col.
6:
   Especially the musical programs.  If only more classic instead all that
jazz was played.

DELHI BELLY

   I've been re-checking for diarrhea.
   This is not the earliest "Delhi belly," but it's close to it.  (See the
ADS-L archives for the idiot who went to India, then checked the CBI ROUNDUP in
the Library of Congress.)

   5 February 1943, SHEBOYGAN PRESS (Sheboygan, Wisconsin), pg. 3, col. 5:
   "There is another fever that is going around.  The British call it
'dinghy'.  Oh yes, there are a lot of things that a guy can get out here, 'prickly
heat', 'Bengal rot', 'dobies itch', 'Delhi belly', and ringworm.  Prickly heat
are smal;l blisters that come out when it is hot; Bengal rot is a ringworm
infection; dobies itch is a ringworm infection from fresh laundry (a 'dobie' is a
laundryman); and Delhi belly is the same as diarrhea."

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

   A good test of the search engine.  I also tried "boola boola" and "boula
boula."

   4 May 1960, IOWA CITY PRESS CITIZEN, pg. 23, col. 2:
LOCATION!  LOCATION!
   Location!
   A famous realtor once said the three most important features of a home are
its location.

TWIN CITIES (continued)

   Another old request from the archives.  Only the 10-19-1883 citation
appears to involve Minneapolis and St. Paul.
