 Sir David traced it to goats milk and stopped the spread of the dis ease by putting that popular Mall tese beverage under the military ban. Practically no further prog ress was made in the study of the disease until Miss Evans began her work in 1918 and demonstrated its relationship with the cattle dis order prevalent in the United States.
 Her work stimulated other public and private investigators. ;>nd since she made her discovery an increasing number of cases have been recognized and reported in all parts of the country, although it appears to center chiefly in the west and southwest, especially in Texas, where cattle herds are

 Although We have. by intelligent legislation cut down the death rate as lar as the purity oi our ater and food supplies are concerned" he says, We have done very little to purify the air. and this is the principal factor now delaying the progress of sanitation.
 The death rate per thousand from disease germs carried by food has gradually decreased in the past lc. yrars. Sanitary laws, pure food laws and laws requiring saui- tary conditions at the sources of food gathering, handling, packing ard shipping have brought about this improvement.
 "The death rate caused by dis case germs which enter the body through drinking water has gradu- ally decreased also. This is di- rect result Of purifying all the water which is used.

OIL COMPANY OF NEW YORK
 WHY
 POOR GASolINE AND MOOR OIL RUIN YOUR ENGINE IN Colp WEAVER

T>HE 100000 motorists in
 l New York and New England can save themselves several million dollars by standardizing on Socony Gasoline and Motor Oil in cold weather.
 The facts are very simple:
 To start in cold weather, you pull out the choke andflood your engine.
 If your oil is poor, every moving part of the engine IS gummed up and turns over slowly. Socony Motor Oil is put through a final process in the refinery which presses out the extra paraffin and gives tile oil Tow cold test. '"
 If your gasoline is poor, it ignites slowly. The extra gasoline
New Britain herald., 1928-01-27

leaks down into your crank case and dilutes the oil. Hence, poor fabrication, wear. destruction and repair bills.
 So neither good gasoline alone. nor good oil alone. is sufficient in cold weather. You must have both.
 We have been refining for fifty. four years. We test our product l3 times before it reaches your engine. This insures uniformity of quality at all times and wherever you may buy it. Standardize on Socony Gasoline and Motor Oil this winter and save yourself a lot of money in repair bills next spring.
