* MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se
rious Consequences of Neg
s led._
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
L case, took down a coupie of bottles, mixed
* a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
if ‘shake well aim follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
6 * “Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good (condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
dg The proper waj' to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly season.
W A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be

Dear Doctor—
I am very much interested in the
great work the State Board of Health
is doing. The bo\ s and girls of today
are the men and women of tomorrow,
and believing that it is impossible for
a sound mind to exist in am unsound
body, I see the great importance of
having all rural school children exam
ined for hookworm disease. The
teacher can he of invaluable assistance
to the doctors by urging directors to
install sanitary closets, that not only
the hookworm disease, but other dis
eases may not be spread.
Yours truly,

Gentlemen:
1 wish to commend you for the ac

and other parasitic diseases in this
State.
I heartily endorse the work done in
our town. Several cases of Hook
worm Disease have been located, and
our town and surrounding country
have been placed on a much higher
plane of sanitation.
And, in conclusion, I earnestly
hope that you will give your hearty
co-operation to the teachers and to
me for the purpose of maintaing sani

Very respectfully yours,

I desire to express inv appreciation
of the splendid work that you are do

arousing of the interest in general
health conditions in the homes and
schools of our country. Your work is
certainly very far reaching and per

are doing is fundamental and will con

better civilization, happier homes and

that the work done by Rockefeller

people in arousing them to a sense

Hookworm Disease from what I
know of it saps the vitality and en

people.
We were delighted that yen made
investigations in this section, and we
trust that every opportunity that you
have you will see that our people
have literature and other means of
information along lines of “preven

Certain virtues are divided from

PRICE MAINTENANCE.
Its Necessity to Aid Consumer.
Many big Industries engaged in
national trade have often In the
past done openly what the small
concerns In their limited fields have
done secretly—varied prices accord
ing to the degree of competition at
different times and places. Their
object has been to secure the high
est price to be had, irrespective of
whtethor the buyer was held up or
not. »
The principle of selling gobds at
a close margin at one place to meet
or to kill competition, and charg
ing a high price, to make up for It,
where little or no competition ex
ists. is economically wrong and un
fair to tho buyer. livery article of
fered for sale should have a uni
form price plainly marked upon it.
Manufacturers will then have to !
see that the price of their goods is
_ _II. —.Ill |1
and lit the same time they will
provide enough profit to pay tho
Jobber and dealer fairly for hand
ling tho goods at a uniform price.
This will Inspire confidence In the
consumer, because ho will know the
price can not bo cut and must,
therefore, be a reasonable one to
permit tho goods to sell. He will
buy such goods in preference to a
small selling article sold at exag
gerated profits.
Everybody will benefit from price
maintenance In this way. It will
protect tho manufacturer who has
built up well-known brands, also
tho newcomer who Is seeking to do
so. Distributors will be protected In
handling it at a fair profit, and
they will not be forced, through
fear of cut-throat competition, to
build up their own private brands
at much expense.

When you buy Certain-teed you have ’
our real guarantee that it will last at least
fi i-e years for 1-ply, ten years for 2-ply
ami fifteen years for 3-ply, and this
i an tee is backed by the world’s
I irgest roofing mills.
There is a dealer in your city or town
who handles Certain-teed products.
He will be glad to give you informa
tion and prices.
