men as was he, are rare. His last ap-

associations with him were bcne-

character Of j. w. Humbert-for two
years-enough to convince any sane
man that there is power in our holy
religion. People who knew him best
honored him most--honored him be-
cause of his spotlcss life and devo-

thlrty-five years have never known
a purer, or more guilcless man.

His last active work was at Ridoc-

of his life and ministry in that COM

Commissioner Of Health, Samuel G..
Dixon, has decided to establish as soon
as possible in connection with the De-
partment, a archaeological and chem
ical laboratory. This will enable the
physicians of the State and especially
those in the rura districts to take ad
vantage of the most advanced methods
of diagnosing their cases by having
blood counts made by examinations for
the microorgansms that produce tuber-
culosis; diphtheria, typhoid fever,
malaria and other diseases.
The Health commissioner states that
he will get the new laboratory in opera
ton and be ready to receive specimens
from the physicians of the State at as
early date as possible as he appre
ciates theswonderful opportunity for
more thorough work that will be af.
forded medical practitioners.
The State Department of Health will
be able to make its own examinations
of water when trying to find the
original source of infection i'm the ty-
phoid outbreaks that are so frequent
throughout the State aud in many
other ways the new laboratory will be
of assistance to the Commissioner and
the physicians Of the State in improv-
ing the health Of Che people.
