! THANK YOU
for the greatest reception ever
accorded a line of automobiles
Last month Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Oakland,
Buick and Cadillac presented series Of cars,
better in appearance, higher in quality and
lower in price than ever before.
General Motors assumed responsibility for
the public statement that these cars "repre>
sent the greatest values ever offered in the
history of the industry"
The proof of that statement has been fur
nished by the public response. Every Cen
eral Motors factory is running at capacity.
Indications point to the largest September
business in General Motors history.
We thank the public for this splendid pa
tronage. 1t is justified by the car values. Inn
mense economies are possible in an organiza>
ton like General Motors, which enjoys every
advantage of quantity production and sells
in every market of the world. Only through
such economies would it have been possible
to produce quality cars at prices SO low.

MAN OFFERS TO
DIE FOR SCOTT
C. P. McGraws, Washington, D.
c., Writes Governor Small
to This Effect

WASHINGTON, July 25.-G. P.
McGraws Of this city has written
Governor Small of Illinois, offering
to die in the place of Russell Scott.
The offer is made upon condition
that Scots sentence to hang for the
murder of a Chicago drug clerk be
committed to life Imprisonment, and
that the District of Columbia refuse
to accept his (McGraws') offer to
die in the electric chair to be in
stalled here.
''The prison relief society of
Washington, McGraw wrote, Nis
seeking to get permission for my
execution, and if granted, | will
have to withdraw this offer to die
in place of Scott, because the offer
20 the District was made first"
McGraw said he once was sem
fenced to die by the state of Ohio,
but was cleared, and that later the
man who committed the crime was
caught, so | am naturally opposed
20 capital punishment"
Both offers to die, he explained,
are in an effort to bring about
abolition of capital punishment.
His letter to Governor Small pre-
sumably was mailed prior to the
stay of sentence granted Scott early
Friday.

Is Your Well Or Spring Safe?

After rain we can naturally expect
our shallow wells and springs to be-
come polluted and, in measure, be-
come dangerous. The surface wash
ings of human excrement are natural
ly carried into the streams from which
we get our drinking water. The grad
ual filtration is slowly percolated into
the ground and washed along the sur
face until it reaches the lowest place.
and unless your we'll or spring is pro-
tected from surface water, it is likely
to get into it. The only safe pro-
lection is sanitary privy. You
cannot contract typhoid without
contamination from carrier OF
the germs. A carrier is one who
has had typhoid and who has the
germs of typhoid in his system. AT
! ter these germs regain for long time
in an individual he will not have symp-
toms. as he is immune, but he can
and does give the fever to another.
A carrier" is easily determined. The,
State Board of Health is prepared to
make this test. 1t should be made on all
who have had typhoid before they are
dismissed; in fact, some of the States
now require two negative tests before
one who has been positive" is re-
leased from quarantine 1t is safe
and sane procedure.

co AND SEE A GERM.

The State Board of Health has one
of the best equipped hygienic labora-
tories in the United States located in
the Capitol at Atlanta. 1t is most
interesting place. If you will call to
see them they will be glad to show
you around and tell you about germs
and bacilli. They grow them and
from them make the vaccines that
cure our ills and keep US from being
sick. The physicians of the State use
this laboratory in making their dag
noses. They send thousands of speci-
mems there to find out what they con-
tain.
The Laboratory furnishes to our doc
tors containers for collecting these
specimens. AS soon as the specimens
arrive an expert takes them and gets
right to work hunting for what he
can find; it may be for hookworm
eggs. The specimen may be a drop
of blood to be examined for malaria
or typhoid fever; it may be a swab
! from a throat to see if it is diphtheria.
Whatever it may be, it is given prompt,
efficient attention. and the physician
receives report as quickly as posi-
BILE on the result. 1t is all free; no
charge is made for this service.
Water supplies for municipalities
are looked after at least once a month,
and advice sent. The containers for
this work are owned by the town or
city. No examinations are made of
private water supplies; the appropria
ton is not sufficient for this purpose
The regular routine work is done
without charge for the people, and
physicians who use the State Board of
Health Laboratory do not have labo
iratory expense. 1t is hoped that the
service can be enlarged and many 9th.
er examinations made, as for instance,
cancer, Bright's disease and the like
which at present cannot be done for
want of funds to employ the labor.
