Seek Protectiovi Against Suiiiinei' Diseases* The best \ife Insurance the farmer or rural dweller can take out this summer, advises the North Carolina State Board of Health, is that which will insure him and his family pro tection against three of the most common and serious of summer dis eases-typhoid fever, diarrhoeal dis eases and hookworm. This insur ance may be had by any one who de sires this protection and is willing to pay the price. The rates are fixed according to the residence and tho degree of protection desired; The premiums remain at home and de clare annually big dividends. This particular kind of life insur ance, probably better termed health insurance, as explained by the board, is based upon three home condi tions-the home water supply, the home method of disposing o? sewage and the protection of the home I against filthy (lies. The water supply must be free * Article Number 2. * from pollution, lt should receive no surface drainage nnd should be on higher ground than any stables, out houses or privies-. The hands should never come in contact with bucket or chain. Vor this reason pumps and wells having closGd tops are much safer than open wells. The farm home privy, to be safe, must bo fly proof and so constructed as not to pollute the surrounding soil. The pit type of privy with a closed back luis been recommended to meet these needs. The farm home, furthermore, must be screened. Where lt is im practical on tho farm and elsewhere to keep flies from breeding alto gether, it is practical to screen all the doors and windows of the house, the hack porch Included, and be free from flies. The three things needed for a far mer to have freedom from filth dis eases this summer is to look well to his water supply, to the safe dispo sal of human waste, and to thor oughly screening his home.

The Maxwell Company has not increased their prices. We do not know what their plans are, but we do know and you know that materials entering into the construction of good automobiles now cost from 20 to 300 per cent more than they did six months ago. Nothing is to be gained by delay. Much may be lost. Not only may you lose several dollars in the purchase price, but you are sacrificing the enjoyment, the relaxation, the health-giving prop erties-everything, in fact, that makes motoring the favorite pastime of the nation. We urge you to come in and investigate the Maxwell. Or, we will refer you to any number of Maxwell owners and let them tell you their own story in their own way. They will tell you what they have told us. That the Maxwell is good-looking-that it is powerful-that it is comfortable-that it is economical-in short, that it is the best investment they ever made. They will tell you more and they will tell you gladly and freely. That's the way they feel toward us and the Maxwell Car. Whatever you do, don't put this off. We have a few cars on hand and can take orders for immediate or future delivery-at present prices. If you can't come in today, phone us for a Maxwell demonstration. Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 F.
