new aid in preventing colds-vicks
Nose and Throat Drops. This new
formula-developed by Wick chem
lists after years of research-is con-
sidered the ideal companion to
Vicls VapoRub, the modern, ex-
ternal method of treating colds.
Together with a few simple rules
of health, these preparations form
Vicks plan for better control of
colds The plan is especially de-
signed to provide proper medical
ton at the proper time, for every
type and stage of cold. 1t is abb
solutely unique in its field.
The remarkable success Of the
plan is evidenced not only by the
results shown in clinical tests. but
by the fact that it has been adopt
ed already by millions of homes.
Its immediate popularity is not only
an indication Of public faith in the
Wick name, but is another tribute
to the power of advertising. For.
last season, the Wick people spent
the greatest amount of money in
their history-concentrated princi-
pally in newspaper advertising-to
acquaint people with. the story of
Vieks plan. 1t was evidence OF their
own faith in the belief that real
economy is based, not on a blind
cutting down of expenses, but upon
wise spending.

HORSE MARKET
BELOW NEEDS

That there are more buyers in
the market for horses than has
been the case in the past five years,
although it is rather difficult to
locate many high-class draft mares,
and still more difficult to find sat /.
lsfactory stations, offered for sale,
was the statement made today by
c. E. Howell, associate animal hus-
bandman in the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, University of CAL
ifornia.
1.-THE horse situation" said How
ell, "in California is in a deplorable
situation. Just at a time when
horse power is so badly needed, the
supply is greatly diminished. 1t Is
the one crop in the state where
production is not problem.
Ten years ago, there were approx
mately 100000 horses in Califor-
mia. Today, the number is about
275,000. A large number of the
horses now on the farms are IL
years or over They are not capable
of doing a full hard days work.
Commenting on the increased in
terest in horses as evidenced by the
letters being received by the ami
NAL husbandry department of the
college of agriculture, Howell warns
that it is neither profitable nor
practical to breed and raise horses
as a separate and distinct farm en-
terprise.
Horses" he says, should be used
on the farm to furnish the. ma
jority of the farm power for sue
cessful operation. Farmers should
breed their mares and raise enough
colts to take care of normal re-
placements. Many ranches are un-
suitable for the production of young
stock. For such ranchers it is
cheaper to buy animals Of working
age, than it is to breed and raise
them"
According to Howell, horses
should be considered as a necessary
part of the working tools and CAPT
tai for the successful operation Of
farms. They cannot, he advises, be
produced profitably as single en-
terprise, like cattle, sheep or hogs
bur they furnish the most efficient
and economical source of farm
power, and can be maintained at
relatively low cost.

HEALTH OFFICER FINDS LOCAL
GROCERS READY TO COOPERATE

ments used in serving meat to the
customer, are routinely cleaned and
kept in a sanitary condition. Chop
ping blocks are kept clean and
smooth and all tables and counters
are made of such material as to
render the surface non-absorbent.
Poultry and Eggs
Those grocery stores which
handle poultry usually have sepa-
rate rooms for tables for killing
and dressing same. Many grocers
purchase only the best of eggs and
see that they are properly candlcd
and that the egg Standardization
law is complied with.
Other Food Stuffs
Certain food Stuffs which are
prone tosattract flies and other in
sects are required to be kept cov-
cred with screen or netting or
placed in show cases. Most grocers
make a routine inspection of their
canned goods stock and eliminate
all sWells. Today, of course, milk
is handled in bottles and the gro
GERS, in many instances have quite
a demand for this commodity.
Sacks of sugar, flour and so FORTH
are kept elevated to prevent con-
tamination, and practically all bulk
food stuffs are kept covered.
Mis-branding. Mis-labeling and
20 AduiteratiOn
For years, most grocers have
complied with the provisions of the
United States and state pure food
and drug acts regarding mis-labei-
ing, mis-branding and adulteration
of food products. The grocer of
today makes every effort to see
that the products he furnishes the
public are of good quality. There
is no reason why inferior products
should be countenanced.
The Grocery Business Progressive
And so, the progress in food san
itation might be reviewed at great
er length. There is no doubt" said
Doctor Fox, "that the grocery busi-
ness has not only looked ahead, but
also stepped ahead, and here in Ell
Centre, the consuming public
should appreciate the interest of
the grocer to give them better
and cleaner product.
Realizing that the grocer oper-
ates on low margin of profit and
must have modern expensive equip
ment, to meet the demands Of the
consuming public, our ciUlzens
should bear with the grocer in these
times of economic stress, knowing
that he is making every effort to
give them real service.

VTCKS CONTROL
PLAN SUCCEEDS

GREENSBORO, N. c., Nov. II.
More money to spend and
more time in which to enjoy It'll"
That is the unusual promise of
brand new plan of economy. An
other unique feature IS that folks
who follow it don't have to deny
themselves the things they either
want or need. On the contrary, all
they give up or cut down On is
something they neither want nor
need-common colds.
That, in effect, is the promise of
the new Vicks plan for better con-
trol-of- colds-dcveloped by the
makers of Vicks VapoRub and
widely tested in clinics and home
use last season. Results of these
clinical tests have just been an
nounced.
Over $500 people-in schools, col
leges and homes-participated in
the tests. For comparative results,
these people were divided into two
equal groups. One group followed
the plan-the other group did not.
The results, which follow, are really
quite amazing:
Those following the plan had less
than half as many colds. The colds
they did develop lasted only about
half as long as the national aver
age duration of colds-as found a
few years ago by the U. S. public
health service. The savings to this
group-in money and loss of time
from work-were more than half.
The amount of savings possible is
indicated in the fact that these two
items of the costs of colds-money
and time-amount to over a billion
dollars for the country as a whole
Vicks colds-control plan was in
troduced last year, along with the

CERTIFICATE OF
BIRTH IMPORTANT

A properly registered birth cer-
tificate is a child's legal introduc-
ton to human society, according to
DR.. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer.
Filing the birth certificate with
the local registrar of vital statis-
tics is an essential part Of every
confinement case, and no such case
is completed until This has been
done, he states.
Registered birth certificates are
legal documents of great impor-
tance. They ase used for the fol-
lowing purposes:
To prove legal age. inheritance
Of property, claims of widows and
orphans, settlement of insurance,
settlement of pensions, correction
of marriage or death record, right
to serve on jury, entering military
service, entrance to school, right to
vote, right to marry, legal depen-
dency, tax income, driving automo-
bile, responsibility of children,
employment in industries, certain
criminal proceedings.
To prove American citizenship,
for passports, exemption from mill
tary service in foreign countries,
criminal courts in foreign countries,
immigration, right to hold certain
offices, right of admission to GER
tain professions, collecting compen-
sation from government.
During 1924, the bureau of vital
statistics of the California state
board of health searched the Off
cial files more than 5000 times upon
the request of persons seeking cop
les of birth certificates, DR.. Fox
said.

DEATH CHAIRS
INVENTOR NOT
ELECTROCUTED

COLUMBUS, O., Nov IT. U.P)-
The Frankenstein story of the in
ventor of the electric chair being
the first person to be electrocuted
has gone down with other roman
tic myths.
An obscure cabinet maker named
Harry Click invented the chair.
Click, a fourth termer, serving life
for first degree murder, died of
heart disease behind walls of Ohio
penitentiary.
Charles Justice, whose name lent
color to the observation-disclosures
device myth, had been credited
with inventing the chair Justice
was electrocuted October 81, 1911,
after being sent to the peniUentiary
for the murder of John Shoup He
was a Greene county man.
"Intemperate in his habits, y
had no friends" say pages Of the
prison record under the name of
Click. 1t was from the records of
the two men that the falsliy of
the electric cnar story was deter
mined. Justice was not in the peni-
tentiary during the years when the
chair was made.
Click, clever man with tools,
set to work on :he instrument of
execution shortly after q hanging
at the prison, April 30, 1896. 1t was
the last Ohio penitentiary hanging.
The chair remains essentially the
same as the first one made by the
prison cabinetmaker.
