Give it reasonable attention, and then take it as a matter of course that it will be all right. When we know that vaccination prevents smallpox and that immuniza- tion prevents diphtheria it is a matter jf common-sense to make use of these means for protection against these two diseases. Furthermore, when it is k.nown that diphtheria takes its heaviest toll during the earliest years 'jf life, common sensu dictates that every child should be immunized be- fore it is one year old. V/e have come to accept the insur- ance principle as a sound practical method for securing group protection against those occurrences which we. as individuals, cannot prevent or con- trol. The man of common sense takes out life insurance for the pro- tection of his family. Health departments are a form of health insurance. By uniting togeth- er and supporting a health department out of our taxes, we purchase protec- don against those diseases which can be controllel by group, rather than by individual effort. Common sense tells us that it is better in every way to pay a dollar or two more in taxes and avoid the occurrence of typhoid fever which would likely visit us it we did not have safe water, milk and food supplies. Drisease which is discovered earl? and treated promptly is much more likely to be cured than is disease wbich goes on for a long time, ot which has become chronic. Common sense tells us that it would be wise for us to have our family doctor ex- amine us. say once a year, so that, with his skill, he might detect disease even before we suspect it. In this way we are given the best possible the disease completely, We know that no two people are from a distance included Mrs. J. D.

Important Notice FAMILEX SPECIAL DEALS BALING SHEEP PELTS their beloved father and brother, Mr, Having done a very good business daring 1933 and owing to the in- creased demand for Familex Products , a strictly Canadian Product of super- ior quality; and which are recognized in every home, for their respective usages, I offer two splendid deals for those who would like to take advantage of them. Starting with February 1st, and ending on the 28th, the deals are. namely: 1. For every bottle of Famile.N Menthol after Shaving Lotion you buy, you will receive a tube of shav- ing cream absoli*tely free. 2. For every can of Familex Bak- ing Powder you buy, you will also receive a tube' of their splendid tooth paste free.

Phone No. li: When sheep pelts have to be shipp- ed a long distance to market, they should be carefully spread wool side down, paying close attention to se« that all wrinkles or folds are care- fully straightened out in the head side and leg pieces. Salt â€" about a pound and a half to a pelt â€" should then be evenly sprinkled over the pelt, which is left spread out for a tew days until the salt melts and soaks in. It can then be hang out to dry. Drying may be hastened if the pelts are stretched by tacking to a wall or fence in a manner similar to the practice in handling the pelts of fur-bearing animals. When the sheep pelts are thoroughly dry they may be shipped in safety by placing one on top of the other, and baled in lots of 15 to 25 according to size and weight.
