London has Just heard the an

of Sir Archibald Edmondstone,
whose baronetcy dates back to 1774.
The family seat is near Glasgow.
Miss Field has lived in England
since early childhood with her aunt,
Lady Beatty, wife of Earl Beatty,
famous English admiral.
Only as late as last year the
youthful heiress thought perhaps
she would marry an. American. She
said as much when visiting this
country nearly twelve months ago.
Engagement disappointing
to American Society
Announcement Of the engagement
was a disappointment to American
society in general. Just as Chi
cago's elite were grieved and
slightly chsgrined to have young
Marshall Field and his pretty wife,
formerly Evelyn Marshall, Of New
York, forsake the home city for New
York-Chicago has always claimed

to an Englishn,an will prevent her
establishing a residence in New

Chicago blames Mrs. Marshall Field,
who is Of New York stock, for alien

tives Of Miss Field are held respon-
sible for the, international alliance.

Under these circumstances with
a full knowledge of all the facts as

A word to the doctors: The coun-
ty laboratory is thoroughly equip
ped and able to make your Vidal
tests. So there is no excuse for
mistakes in diagnosis of cases that
may be suspicious. and no doctor
can afford to depend on physical
findings, unsupported by laboratory
confirmation when it can be had so
quickly. with so little trouble and
absolutely without expense To you
or your patient.
We are anxious to serve you and
promise prompt, faithful and de-
pendable service.

Many Thousands of Dollars Per
Year Have Been Saved IN
Monroe County.

Last week l told you how hun
dreds of thousands of dollars might
: be saved to the people in Monroe
county by a systematic. scientific,
persistent campaign against malaria.
| will now tell you how many thou
sands per year have already been
saved by a rather half-hearted fight
against typhoid fever Not so many
years ago typhoid fever was our
| greatest plague and most dreaded
disease. We then had not less than
| 500 cases per year with 10 to ID per
cent fatality. | myself treated over
| thirty cases one season, including
one doctor, and in the end fell a
victim to the disease myself From
| March. 1921. to March. 1922. there
were exactly forty cases in the cOun-
ty. a great reduction you will see.
but the malady should be entirely
eradicated from the county. Now
let us figure on the saving in MONEY
not to mention the saving in suffer
ing, anxiety. life and heartache. The
q. S. Health Department has found
that the average cost of typhoid
fever is 5000 per case. This includes
doctors bills. drug accounts, nurses
hire, lost time and burial expenses.
This is very conservative estimate;
for while some cases cost less many
cases cost much more. Three hun
dred cases land we had that many
only a few years ago. at 5000 per
case, amounts to 500, 900. Last
year we had forty cases; at 5000 per
case our typhoid bill was 5000
5000 less $4,000 shows saving
of $4,000 per year on typhoid alone.
Is your health department worth
while? How was this improved
condition brought about? First. by
a campaign of education. With the
unselfish and untiring cooperation
of our more progressive and enlight-
ened doctors, we have been able to
teach the people that typhoid fever
is not a visitation of Gods provi-
dence. but the result of filth and
Ignorance OF course there are many
cases that do not reflect upon the
decency and intelligency of the vic
tim, but upon some one responsible
in some way for the case. In such
cases there is a criminal aspect; for
we must realize that we are indeed
our brothers keepers" But be-
sides education as to the cause of !
typhoid fever. we have taught the |
people that i'm vaccination they have |
n cheap, harmless and perfect pro-
tective, even for those who prefer to /
live in and subsist upon filth And |
in this connection. let me say that
our State laboratory is making an
effort to manufacture for free dis |
tributioQ sufficient vaccine to pro-
tect every citizen OF the state. Your
county health officer has requested
vaccine for supplying each of the
thirty doctors in the county. Your

Judge w iley B. Pruett.

No death that has occurred in
Monroe county recently, will excite
more genuine regret than that OF
Judge Wiley B. Pruett, which Oc-
cured at his home 10 miles north
of Aberdeen Friday morning of last
week. Judge Pruett was man
strongly entrenched in the conf
dence and esteem of the people
among whom he lived and whom
he served continuously as justice of
the peace for the past AZ years. a
record that scarcely has ever been
eQualled. He was the first Demo
crat to be elected to office in Mon
roe county after the days of ruinous
re- reconstruction rule, and his con-
tinuous reelection thereafter fully
attest the characteristics of the man.
Mr.. Pruett's next birthday, June
25th, would have been his rs. Last
September Judge Pruett was strick-
en- and never fully recovered from
that attack, and on Monday. April
II, he suffered a stroke of paralysis
which resulted in his death.
When but a boy Is years old he
volunteered and joined the regular
army and served there IS months to
the end of the war. He was one of
Gen. Forests cavalrymen. His
captain was Capt Odom and A. P.

in the battles of Selma and Column
