local laws and regulations regard
ing the sterilization Of all eating
and drinking utensils was stressed
by DR.. Warren F.. Fox, county
health officer, in an interview to-
day.
The doctor pointed out that the
water shortage situation demands
that every precaution be taken to
prevent the development and spread
of disease. Not only are we in
terested in the prevention of the
spread of such diseases as typhoid
fever, and the paratyphoid fevers"
said the doctor, but, also, the
prevention of dysentery and am
oebic dysentery and other CASTRO
intestinal and respiratory disea-
,ses.' Disease has no boundaries"
stated DR.. Fox, and health con-
ditionS in one community may be
reflected adversely in other parts
of the country. Each individual
employee in food Establishments
should assume responsibility in
seeing that the consumer or patron
is served food in a safe, sanitary,
manner.
Chemical sterilization may be
used if bacteriologically effective
but this does not mean that a
used glass or other utensil may be
simply dipped in the solution and
Immediately dried on a dish cloth
of questionable cleanliness. Pro-
prietors of all food establishments
must take a personal interest in
seeing that their employees are
taking all reasonable precautions.
There must be no let down in this
program which is not only reason
able but mandatory according to
law. With such cooperation an
other obstacle will be raised against
the spread of disease"

WESTERN AUTO
TIRES BOUGHT.
ON GUARANT E.

Believing that auto owners de-
serve greater assurance of salts
factory service from the tires they
buy. the Western Auto Supply COM
pany guarantees its tires against
all road hazards. declares L. L.
Odle, manager of the firm in this
city. A written guarantee certifi-
cate accompanies every Western
Auto tire, he states.
Tires on the highway today bear
a much greater responsibility for
safety than ever before. This is
principally because of the quicker
starting that more powerful motors
make possible and more sudden
stops with modernized brakes.
Western Autos three groups of
tire are all designed and built to
stand up under the stress and
strain of modern driving condi-
tions," Odle stated, and the terms
of our guarantee insures satisfac-
tory adjustment Of all tire inju-
ries. This includes blowouts. stone
bruises, rim cuts. under initiation,
wheels out Of line and faulty
brakes.
Super Whipcord tires are COW
cred by this superb all road hazard
guarantee for two years passenger
service. This tire was introduced
by Western Auto three years ago,
embodying many innovations which
were several years ahead of other
makes of tires. And now Western
Auto has added Improvements,
which coupled with cur guarantee,
further justify our statement tina;
this is the finest tire value in
America.

tires, both four and six ply, are
guaranteed for 18 months in pas
