Here is what you get in the new vELE
for 1915:
The very latest development Of thsl
stream-line body.
A lightweight car with oversize tire
equipment. 37x4A inch tires on Models IL
and ID. Forty to eighty per cent greater
mileage from the tires than from any other !
car of the same size.
A completely. equipped car. The most
advanced type of Gray & Davis electric start
ing and lighting, a powerful motor-driven
tire pump, Bosch dual ignition, special ad.
Unstable windshield, Warner speedometer.
And you get the easiest-riding, most
comfortable car that you can buy. The
average owner wants TODD the driving HIM
self. The VELIE is the first car in which
the comfort of the driver has been made as
important as the comfort Of the occupants
of the rear seat. You get big room and per-
feet comfort in the front seat as we'll as in
the rear.

But you must act quickly. This special
offer cannot last long. Just as soon as the
five cars, regardless of model. are sold, the
special plan expires.
You may have thought of the VELIE as
being high priced car, but VELIE quality
has been so steadily maintained that it has
always been the equal of any other car sold,
no matter how high the price.
This same quality is not only maintained
in the 1915 models, but improved through
recent big advances in design.
Yet the regular list price has been ma
terially reduced.
And on top of this reduction you have
an opportunity moaO to get still more salts
factory arrangement. But this Introductory
offer is made only in the states Of Illinois
and Iowa.

DECEMBER REPORTS SHOW DE
CREASE IN TWENTY-THREE
COUNTIES.

Physicians reports to the State
board of health, covering diseases
treated during the month of Decem-
Der, show that smallpox exists in
twenty-three counties and that at least
.l71 cases were under treatment last
month.
The counties from which smallpox
has been reported are: Alexandria.
Appomattox, Buckingham. Brunswick
Campbell, Charlotte. Fairfax, Hen
rico, Isle OF Wight. Montgomery,
Nansemond, Norfolk. Orange, Pittsyl-
vanfa, Prince William, Princess Anne.
Nottoway, Roanoke, Russell, Sussex.
Smyth and Washington. Further ad-
dition to this list will be made when
delayed reports are received.
THE situation Is practically. the
same as that which the State has
faced for the last few years. Our peo-
pie still have the idea that smallpox
Is not a dangerous disease and they
have failed to protect themselves
against it by vaccination. AZ long as
this state Of affairs continues II Is
useless to hope for the eradication OF
smallpox from Virginia" says an Of
ficer OF the hoard.
lone aspect Of these perennial out
~
be overlooked, and that Is the enor-
nous waste which the counties OF the
State are subjected annually in treat
ing smallpox. No sooner does the DIS
ease appear in a locality than there Is
a panic more or less widespread.
Physicians are employed to care Tor
the disease, guards are posted, quar-
antine is established and. when the
epidemic Is over, much property Is
burned up as infected. If the money
spent in tire ating smallpox during a
given winter were devoted to general
vaccination. this loatf1stme disease
would be completely stamped out for
years to come.
1.-The board urges upon all citizens
the Importance Of vaccination against
smallpox. II vaccinatcd In sterile
manner with good virus. nobody will
suffer anything more than trtf!ing and
temporary discomfort from vaccina-
ton while lasting protection Will be
given. Successful vaccination gives
complete protection against smallpox
for a term of at least seven years and
gives partial protection for much
longer time. The people OF Virginia
caEnot afford by their neglect and
carelessness to subject themselves to
the danger OF a smallpox epidemic"
