Ice Factory Ready To Start

The Roanoke Ice & Fuel Com
pany have about completed the
installation of machinery in their
new ice plant. Tests are being
made now and it is expected that
the manufacture of ice will be
begun early in next week.
The new plant is of the most
modern and improved type.
Power is supplied by electricity
solely. Water for the manufact-
ure Of ice is electrically y .ptimped
from a deep, artesian well, and
every process used in the manu-
facture of their product is scien-
tifcally sanitary.
The installation of this new
plant means that the people of
this community will be able to
secure ice of high grade at a
much cheaper price than they
have been paying, The Roanoke
Ice & Fuel Company will retail
ice in small quantities at &c per
pound, and the price on larger

DON'T GET MALARIA
Simple Suggestions for Avoiding
"ChiIIs and Fever"

This is malaria season" but
malaria is going out Of style.
No one ever has malaria these
days unless he is behind the
times, doesn't know how to avoid
it or is too indolent to escape it.
Time was when we contracted
malaria, or "chilIs and fever" as
it was called, about as regularly
as summer or fall came around.
Not so now. Now we know that
by taking 5 grains of quinine
daily from the first of May un-
til frost we are about SO 44-lOO
percent proof against malaria,
and by increasing the daily dosage
to Z IL grains we can make it
100 percent.
Furthermore, many OF our peo-
pie are resentjng the nightly
raids of these malarial zeppelins,
and are screening their houses
throughout. With more and bet
ter farming we are gradually
clearing out and draining our
swamps and low places and are
thereby destroying the naval
bases of these little zeppelins.
Half cured malaria is worse
than a half truth. The only
thing to do with a case of ma
laria is to cure it thoroughly and
then stay cured. Many doctors
in treating malaria give 30 grains
of quinine for the first three days
then 20 grains for a week and
taper off to about 5 grains a day,
which is to be continued until
frost. The faint hearted follow
directions only for a day or two
or until their chills are broken,
and then quit, leaving themselves
worth about rs to 80 percent
par value physically for months
and years. Why run on a flat
tire? Why endanger others to
your own infection? Get
thoroughly cured, then stay
cured.
