Such records being on hand insures every man the record of his life to which he is entitled; it expedites his title to his property, protects his estate and his family. It places Baltimore County in the proper relation to the counties— the State of Maryland in proper relation to other States; makes her contribute her share of the general information of the people ; it lessens the tangles of the law and aids the prosecution of the criminal. It gives a stable basis for health work, provides an. audit for the book of life, makes less difficult the warfare against preventable diseases and gauges the success of the campaign against those particular foes of human life from whose ravages Baltimore county and the State of Maryland suffer.

Health in order that every precaution may be taken to prevent their spread. All of them are different in their symptoms; many differ in their methods of transmission from one individual to another; entirely different methods are required for their control; many are not contagious by direct contact. Beriberi and Pellagra are the results of faulty diet. Botulism, and Malta Fever and Trichinosis from infected foods of different kinds; Malaria and Yellow Fever are only contracted from one person to another by the medium of certain specific breeds or kinds of mosquitos. Typhoid Fever, Entero-colitis (summer diarrhoea in children under two), Paratyphoid and Cholera are the results of unhygenic conditions. Measles, Mumps, Scarlatina (scarlet fever and scarlet rash) are all one and the same disease. Diphtheria, Whooping Cough,Chicken Pox and Smallpox are all contracted by contact with an actual case during the time of incubation, the active stage or before quarantine is over, or from a carrier of these diseases. Smallpox has killed more people in the history of the world than any other disease. It is the easiest disease to control and can only be controlled by vaccination. Up until one hundred years ago few people escaped it, and those who had it and recovered were so badly marked that they differed considerably from their former self. Up until that time a handsome man or a beautiful woman was hard to. find. To Jenner, the discoverer of vaccination, we owe so much, perhaps better described in the epitaph on his tomb: "Within this tomb hath found a resting place, The great physician of the human race— Immortal Jenner: whose gigantic mind Brought life and health to more than half mankind. Let rescued infancy his worth proclaim, And lisp out blessings on his honored name; And radiant beauty drop her saddest tear, For beauty's truest, truest friend lies here." Tuberculosis is best controlled by hospitalizing all cases until the disease is arrested. Constant supervision of all contacts and WILLIAM WHITNEY County Surveyor For Baltimore County COURT HOUSE. TOWSON. MD. Telephone, Towson 456 frequent physical examinations, prophylactic measures in each home where there is a case and better housing facilities. Hundreds of homes in the country districts are far from being sanitary, resulting in considerable illness and economic loss. These home owners feel that as the conditions they have were the same as their fathers and grandfathers, and if good enough for them are good enough for those now living. They forget sickness when it is over and it is hard to convince them of such facts. It is the duty of the Health Department to treat rural sanitation. Every improvement means better living conditions and hence better health. The physical examination of all those called by draft in the recent World War revealed the fact that 32 per cent, were physically unfit to endure the vigors of warfare. We believe that the physical examination of school children will reveal these physical defects at an early age and by proper remedies many could be corrected. Among the many defects amenable to treatment are defective vision, hearing, breath- ^^X^X^X^X^^X^X^X^X^X^X^XK' ¦FOB «€ADAC«£S MADE IN BALTIMORE EFFERVESCES EVERYWHERE IKiiuTiiffiM^ SSI * Established 1857 The James R Armiger Co. 310 N.

GAY and EAST STREETS "Your Good Money's Worth Or Your Good Money Back" "> Kann's Good Klothes For Summer "Mose" Has Made Up A Pine Line Of Suits And Trousers For the Hot Weather And He's Priced Them At About Half What They'd Sell For Elsewhere. "MOSE" GIVES EVERY MAN HIS GOOD MONEY'S WIRTH. YES, indeed, "Mose" does, and more too. The reason "Mose" is able to undersell these other fellows is because he is the Good Maker of His Clothes. He buys his cloth by the bolt from the best woolen mills in the country; he shrinks it and cuts it and makes it up into Suits and Trousers as good as any merchant tailor can make them and he gives them to his people at first cost—manufacturer's prices—about one-half what these stores that buy their goods would have to charge for them to make a profit. "Mose" is so sure of the goodness of his Clothes and of the worth of them that he guarantees them—says if you find a bit of fault with them in any particular he wants you to bring them back and exchange them or get your good money. That's fair and square and the only kind of business that tntfne dTat'tSe 2£rt££ "MOSES KAHN OF OLD TOWN' years ago "MOSE" HAS A GOOD WORD FOR EVERY MAN. "jyfOSE" picks such Suits *• *¦ aand Trousers for selling as he thinks will most appeal to you—but there are hundreds of others just as good. Just tell "Mose" or any of the "Boys" what you want and you will get it. There'll be no "putting" something over" on you that you don't want and you may be sure that you will be fitted, for if there's a "take up" or "let out" to be made anywhere "Mose" will make it and he won't charge you anything for it, either. Any honest man will pay his just debts and "Mose" has a lot of faith in the workingman. He has been "Mose's" prop, even as "Mose" has been his prop, and both have gotten along mighty well together. Long may they both live!
