STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East In Campaign to Increase
Use of Kerosene.

New York;. /. G. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil Co. makes
it's official announcements to the pub
lie, has issued statement to the ef-
feet that the company has entered on
a thoroughly mapped out campaign to
increase the consumption of kerosene
in European countries and the lands
of the Orient. The first move in this
campaign is the reduction of the
prices of oil in those countries. Mr..
Clarke's announcement says in part:
"The Standard Oil Co. has inaugurated
a campaign to increase the worlds
consumption of refined oil. The level
of prices for refined oil today in the
United States is lower than at any
time during recent years, and as a d.
rect result of these prices the con-
sumption of refined oil in this country
is increasing. The same policy. is
now being actively pursued abroad
AS indicated by this statement, the
Standard Co. began trying out the
policy of lower prices in the United
States, though without announcing
that it had in view a campaign that
would cover the world. In August the
price of refined oil in tanks was re
duced from 6 1-2 to IL cents gal
lon, and the price of refined oil in bar
rels at the refinery was cut one cent
| from ga to 3-4 cents gallon.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
viii Hold Twelfth Annual Conference
in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O.-The twelfth confer
Health and the twenty eighth confer
ence of Ohio Boards of Health will be
held here October 20 and 81, and the
program includes subjects of vital in
terest in this part of city making. The
addresses will deal mostly with water
and milk supplies and the prevention
of epidemics.
Among them are the following:
Public Water Supplies" John W..
Hill, Cincinnati; The Control of
Contagious and Infectious Diseases"
DR.. Frank Warner, Columbus "Ex-
animation of Milk From a Health
Standpoint" DR.. Frank Lamb; How
Shall We Improve and Protect the
Milk Supply of Villages" DR.. Nc
Kendree Smith, Grandview Heights;
milk and Its Relation to Infant Nor
fSdlity," DR.. ]. H. Lands, Cincinnati;
Measures to Be Taken at the Dairy
When Typhoid Fever or Other Milk
Borne Disease Occurs" DR.. H. w.
Behymer, Mt. Washington; "Precau-
tions to Be Taken in the Delivery of
Milk Where Infectious Disease Is
Present" DR.. Frank E. Adams. Piqua; {;
''Shall the Hog Be Driven From Vii.
lages?" DIR. G.. r. Campbell, Newton; !;
School Inspection" DR.. II. A. Bran
don, Versailles.
These are all subjects of value and
undoubtedly the men who will dis
cuss them will give results of their
practical experience. But what is
of especial value here is that the
interests of the smaller cities and vii
lagos receive due consideration with
the greater centers of population. One
is inclined to look upon such matters
as water contamination, milk infec
tion, and barn yard, chicken coop ant
hog pen nuisances as only worthy O
the attention of big cities, forgetting
that the people in more rural commu
mites can contract the same disease:
from the same causes.
