health is thoroughly systematic in its
efforts to reach the people is indicated
by the methods employed by the director
of rural sanitation, J. LaBruce
Ward, M. D. When the assistant physicians
in this departuent go into a
county to make a survey and administer
the hookworm treatment, letters
are sent to all school trustees, rural
carriers, country merchants, postmasters,
physicians and county officers,
asking co-operation in bringing the
treatment to the attention of the people.
When the public schools are in
session letters are sent to all the
teachers, and through these literature
is sent directly into the homes. In
each cohnty in which a survey is made
the directors establish five dispensaries,

Camden.?After carefully checking
over the petition presented him by the
advocates of the dispensary, asking
for an election in August, County Supervisor
M. C. West finds that the list
falls short by 40 or 50 names of having
the necessary one-third of the qualified
voters as required by law, and,
therefore, will not ofder an election.
The original petitions, which were circulated
In all parts of the county contained
1,075 names. These lists were
carefully checked over and there were
found names appearing on the petitions
twice, some of the petitioners
were not qualified voters, others'
names were illegible, and some names
of persons who were non-residents of
the county.
Surprising Cure of Stomach Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, dou't
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to giye
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengele, Plainfield,
N. J., writes, "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain's advertising
booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's
Tablets, I decided to try them. I have
taken nearly three-fourths of a package
of them and can now eat almost
everything that I want." For sale by
