BOARD OF HEALTH
 DESTROYED CITY All in One Day-Shanty Town Was Completely
 Wiped Off the Map

Upon an order of board of health an entire little city was recently destroyed. It was known as Shanty Town and was n suburb of Cincinnati, O. There was a population of 300, and the city had its own mayor and run things without regard to the health code. The Cincinnati police, following the health boards order, ap- piled the torch and the little city was converted to ashes.
 It is such drastic measures as this that Is improving the health of American cities Sanitation, however, cannot do all. The hustle and nerve strain of modern busi- ness brings physical break downs to peo- pie in all walks of life. Perhaps there Is no single thing that is doing more to improve the health in many American cities than is Vitalitas. It is purely Il natural produce containing chemical prop critics and forces that have marvellous corrective and tonic effect. Particularly in the springtime should Vitalitas be tn every home. It will be found wonderfully beneficial in the treatment of wide range of disorders, particularly those of stomach, liver, kidneys. bowels and blood. It is free of any harmful ingredient and a child or delicate invalid may take 1t.
 Make 1t a point to sample Vitalitas to- day and talk with the demonstrator at Averyt's drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street, or write there for information; also for sale by Pegram & Patton Drug company. Bessemer, Ala.
