| Smallpox is Preventable Disease.
You can protect yourself your family
and the community by being vacci-
mated.
DR.. A. r. Reynolds. health commits
sioner, and Dr. III. Spalding, chief med
ical inspector Chicago basing their
belief upon positive knowledge gained
thru years of personal experience and
study of smallpox and vaccination,
have proclaimed:
1st. That true vaccination-repeat
until it no longer takes" always pre-
vents smallpox. Nothing else does.
I'd. That true vaccination-that is,
vaccination properly done on clean
arm with pure lymph and kept perfect
ly clean and unbroken afterwards
never did and never will make a serious
sore.
Sd. That such a vaccination leaves a
characteristic scar unlike that from
any other cause, which is recognizable
during life and is the only conclusive
evidence of successful vaccination.
4th. That no untoward results ever
follow such vaccination; on the other
hand, thousands Of lives are annually
sacrificed thru it's neglect-a neglect
begotten of want of knowledge.
AS medical authorities generally
are agreed that vaccination and vacci-
nation alone prevents smallpox, it is
the duty of every good citizen to pro-
tect himself and his family by vaccina-
ton until it no longer takes" and to
protect the business interests of the
community by insisting that all citi-
zens should be yaccinated. regardless
of when they had previously been vac
.cinated II it does take" you have
positive proof that you could have
contracted smallpox if exposed to it. If
1T does not take" no annoyance has
been caused.
All persons are earnestly requested to
cooperate liz preventing the develop
ment and spread of this disease.

In years gone by the writer kept a
COW, and every spring, sometimes IL.
March, or early April, in the writer's
opinion, we were going to turn out
that COW to grass four weeks ahead of
time. AS we had to pay the owner of
the pasture so much for the season, If
we could get that COW out on grass
month earlier than usual we beat him
out of so much. You know we all like
to get something for nothing. But,
alas, we never got ahead of the pasture
owner In series of years Gold Spot
was member of the family for eleven
years) it was always from the 1st to
the 10th of May before that COW could
make living on grass alone. And so
this year, when the writer saw the
farmers in Emmett county Seeding"
during the last week in February. this
was to be the earliest spring on rec
ord. But here 1t is almost the 1st OF
May and stock must still be fed In
central Iowa Another thing which is
as certain as spring coming on time
(not ahead) is the fact that vegetation
on the southern line of Iowa is always
two weeks ahead of the northern line
of the state. Coming down from North
wood a few weeks ago one could see
from the car windows that natures
face had only a slight tinge of green
from the starting grass. while on ar
rival at Marshalltown the lawns and
fields were well colored with that lux
uriant green that no artist has ever yet
put on canvas. And travelling men in
the cars said down on the 20" they saw
using the lawn mower the
day before.

turns nice" merchants expect dull
