There probably is not town in
Oklahoma whose housewives do not
complain, justly and Indignantly, Of
the unsanitary conditions of various
business places where food for human
consumption is offered for sale. Most
are unwilling to invite an offensive
reply by complaining about the un-
cleanliness of stores, etc. The State
Board of Health at Guthrie invites
the women of Oklahoma, singly or
as clubs, to report all such cases.
The name of the complainant will not
be made public. An inspector OF the
board will take the case in hand.
Commissioner John w. Duke greatly
desires this cooperation, believing
that women are perhaps more helpful
than men in abolishing such men

coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
Gus, nervous and upset, bothered with
a sick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passage every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cacarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and poi
son in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 10-Cent box
from any drug store will keep your

forget the children. They love Cas-
carets because they taste good-never

Prevention of Disease Not Difficult.

Many persons defantly disregard
rules of health, in the belief that if
the worst should happen their ply
sician could save them. They seem
to attach supernatural powers to the
medical profession. This is a mis-
take that increases the profits OF the
undertaken Means of preventing dis
ease are simple and well known, but
the cure of disease has long been the
great problem. The individual owes
owes no higher duty to himself, to
his family, and to his community than
to live in way that affords the least
exposure to the inroads of disease.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
ton of medicine. Commissioner John
w. Duke of the State Board of Heath
said recently that the purpose Of the
board, through educational channels,
was to prevent disease in Oklahoma,
not to wait for its appearance, and
then try to stamp it out.
