QUOTANK COUNTY
1P.Q The blowing up of the U. S. S. Maine in Cuba in
1898 caused the United States to declare war on Spain
At that time the United States had 10,759 troops in
camp at Jacksonville, Fla., not one of which had been
vaccinated against typhoid fever; consequently 4 442
contracted typhoid, and 248 died. That experience
caused a declaration of war on typhoid by vaccination.
In 1911 there were 12,801 U. S. troops in camp during
the hot months of the year in Texas. All but one had
been vaccinated against the typhoid, and he, alone, con
tracted the disease.
There has been no typhoid fever in the Army and.
Navy since vaccination was made compulsory.
THREE TREATMENTS, A WEEK APART, ARE
NECESSARY FOR PROTECTION.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND FAMILY BY GOING

It Is asking me ooard of aldermen
to permit it to make a slight increase
in its charges for gas, not for the
purpose of Increasing its profits, but
to enable It to live, and to enable It
to serve its patrons efficiently and
satisfactorily. The few additional pen
nles It costs each home will not
amount to much, but it will enhl
bo company to live, and to furnish
yood service, it Is not asking for a
permanent increase, but onlv until
times get normal. Many companies
are asking for much lurger Increase,
but this company Is only asking for
enough say 122 percent, to enable
It to stem the current, with the addi
tional burdens, the great war has laid
upon it. It is needless to say how the
expenses of the company have In
creased, everybody knows how the
prices of everything have advanced,
and coke, coal, crude oil and piping
are keVpjng pace will) tiin highest. If
the cost of furnishing gas Is more
than Its receipts, it takes but little
business judgement r() say what the
Inevltabblo result will be. Tbe com
pany is only asking Its patrons to help
it live through tho war, and then
when normal times return, It will
most cheerfully go back to normal,
and even lesser charges. '
