It is estimated- by good authority

for $4,000.00 and possibly $3,000.00 per.*
year. It has now budgeted a salary |
ta the part time health officer of e
$1,020.00 per year and $1,100.00 fori*
vaccinations, which would total $2,-|c
Itl
120.00. All of this work the Health ^
Officer would be supposed to do. The! j
State, so we are informed, would pay r
one-half the salary, therefore the'
ib

Ciunty would sate $620.00 on a basis a
of $3,000.00 or $120 00 on a basis of

It is a proven fact, beyond nil doubt,

it fashionable. Will the American

throwing away your money for

Wake up! wake up! The improve
