Making Total Reductions IS Per Cent in Two Years
To Give Always the Most for the Money
The Best We Know

Goodyear Fortified Tires offer the best
we know. They are built to give you the
lowest cost per mile. They minimize tire
trouble in five costly ways employed by no
other maker And they are always the
same, regardless of price reductions,
Most tires will always sell higher be-
cause OF small output Some tires will al
ways sell lower because of lower stand
ards. But we promise you that none will
ever give better than Goodyear value
This policy has made Goodyears the
largest-selling tires in the world. 1t will
make them more so as more men find
them out
Ask your Goodyear dealer for our new
price on the size YOU buy

Only recently was the nature and origin
OF plague discovered. Medical research has
taught the great lesson that the only eff
fective way to fight 1t Is to prevent the
tackled. The germ or bacillus of plague Is
carried by rats, by the tarbagan or Siberian
ground squirrel. and probably by other ro-
DENTS such as the American ground SPUR.
rel. From these the disease is carried to
man by the characteristic feas OF those
animals.
There are two forms of plague-the bu.
bonic and the pneumonia. The bubonic Ia
conveyed by rats and cir feas, the pneu.
monte by the Siberian tarbagan. The pneu-
monte is far the worse. because 1t invades
the lungs. The germ is the same in both
forms. Hardly anybody ever RECEIVERS from
pneumonia plague.
What makes pneumonia plague especially
terrible is that the sufferer spreads infec-
ton through the air by coughing. sneezing
and expectoration, just as person spreads
grip germs. The air Of hospital or room
containing a sufferer is absolutely deadly.
Nearly all the doctors attending cases sue
cumbed at one time, but now they wear
protective face masks and fare better.
The original focus OF pneumonia plague
is In Siberia, but 1t finds its most numerous
victims in the crowded cities OF China. In
1911 an outbreak in Manchura caused
100000 deaths. A number of sporadic casen
appeared In the United States at the same
time.
DR.. Yersin. Of Russia, discovered the germ
OF the plague In 1894. A doctor working
on q pneumonia case has to have pad OF
lint soaked in carbolic acid; linen mask
and goggles, which make 1t impossible for
the germs to reach the face: gloves, and q
linen gown. which can be boiled and disin.
fected easily and covers the weaIer to tho
Shoes
A victim lives about two or three days
six at mOst-after taking the disease. The
pneumonia form may give rise to the bu.
bonic and other persons.
Our American cities are even more sus.
ceptible to an epidemic OF cholera than
plague. and. indeed. such epidemics were
common before sanitary science reached its
present development. In New York during
the cholera, epidemic OF 1849 about 10 per
cent OF the population persisted. A historian
OF that time writes:
ut was a spectacle of sadness to appal
the stontest heart-the mournful gloom Of
those empty streets, their silence broken
only by the rumbling Of the dead-cart and
the drivers hoarse cry Bring out your
dead; those houses left open and fully fur
nished, from which the owners had fed;
that forest OF shipping deserted and silent
as those of the Western wilds; the heart
recoiled from such sights and contacts.

also ran away from their houses, and, hav-
ing nowhere else to go. died In the streets.
The unburied bodies Of poor mothers with
their children encountered the highways.
The city was nearly deserted. The silence
was broke only by the hoarse cry OF the
man with "the dead cart" crying:
Bring out your dead! Bring out your

to purify the air. The Great Fire of
London" which occurred In the following
monument with golden flame atop that

credited with having ended the plague.
We know from old prints and records that
the dead were buried In vast common pits.
The gravediggers were largely criminals
and desperate characters who caroused
wildly In the intervals OF their horrible
labors. Sometimes they assembled in un-
foreground cellars amid picks and collins.
but often they occupied the halls Of the
noble and the rich who had fed from the
pestilence. Here the handlers Of the dead
revealed In the choicest wines and often
helped themselves to the. silver plate and
valuables.
Many families were nailed up In their
houses by their neighbors to prevent the
plague from spreading, while persons OF
rank and wealth were often left to die alone.

Nies.
One Of the strangest characters. OF the
London plague was Solomon Eagle. the
great revivalist OF his day. who preached
among the dead and dying, calling on every
body to repent because the plague was sent
by God to punish them for their sins.

to bury the dead. Over 10000 dead bodies
