DIR. FOulks Pleased
With Health Report

According to report just issued
by the United States bureau of cen
sus, Alexandria enjoys a substantial
decrease in the rate of infant mortal
ity since 1920. Since the last census
there have been $40 births in the city
and SO per cent Of those born HAYS
died before they reached the age OF
one year. This gives Alexandria a
decrease of % over the previous year.
Newport News, is the only city in Viz
ginia that has a better record, its de-
crease being 81.
"Since the organization of our
health department, July |, 1919, it
has paid particular attention to
carrying out the various methods usec
in the work of reducing infant mo--
tally. The above report would in
dictate that Alexandria is fully up to
the times in matters of protecting the
public health" DR.. Foulks said this
morning in regard to this matter.

Alexandria People
Should Know This

Nearly all stomach trouble is
caused by retained poisonous waste
matter in the system. This is also
often the cause of appendicitis. The
intestinal natiseptic, Adler-i-ka, acts
on BOTH upper and lower bowels,
removing foul decaying matter which
may have been poisoning the stom-
ach for months. 1t brings out matter
you never thought was in your sys-
