CONNOR REPORTS ON SANITARY CONDITIONS Editor Tribune-News: There has been some uneasiness on the part of many of the citizens of f ; : tersviMe, in reference to the sup ! sed insanitary condition of our city v iter, and water supply system, and general sanitary condition of the whole TP y. I felt it my duty to get the very best report on this matter that could lie secured in Georgia. I therefore wrote Dr. T. F. Aber .nombie, secretary of the State Board of Health, Atlanta, Ga. I explained to him fully the condition of affairs here in Cartersville. I asked him and re r,nested that the State Board of Heatlh send the very best and most compe tent man in Georgia up here to thor oughly investigate every item in con nection with our water system and lock over the general condition of the city, and make a report on same, with out fear or favor to any one, and if he found anything wrong, or needed changing to say so. I earnestly hope every citizen will icad this report of Dr. Conner's which Jobson Brings Bigger Crops To Our Farms Georgia Boy’s Big Idea Sets Farmers In Many States To Talking—Leading Men And Firms Get Behind It In This County. That the day of small beginnings and ultimate greatness of accomplish ment is not over is certainly proven to be a fact by the case of John B. Jobson, who, in the opinion of Atlan ta capitalists, practical fanners and government agricultural experts, has given to the South and to the coun try one of the greatest inventions of the decade —one which, in the prac tical words of Loring Brown, a lead ing farmer and writer of Georgia, is “now sweeping oyer the South, and is going to give us a crop increase of at least a fourth.” Mr. Jobson has invented a plow— that's all. He hasn’t wrought out a new rapid-lire man-killer or fashioned a model sword; but lie has, it is thought, produced an idea that will make available, without a penny of extra cost, thousands of tons of nat ural fertilizers that, have lain dor mant right under the feet of the farmers of the country, but which have been so completely locked up in the soil that they have heretofore been of no profit whatever. The Jobson System of soil culti vation and this remarkable plow will, it is claimed, open up new possibili ties in soil tillage that have hereto fore been impracticable and entirely beyond the reach of the backbone of this country—the “one-hoss farmer.’’ With its simplicity and practical adaptability to the one, two or three —horse stock; its easy adjustment to clay, loamy, hard or shallow land; its peculiar handling of the son so that it can he worked several days j earlier than the ordinary plow in wet land, and its wonderful digging and turning power which gives it more efficiency per horse-power—all jjt these combine to make it some thing w'hlch has set the farmers of this and adjoining states to talking deep plowing as they have never ■ talked it before. . That Mr Jobson's plow’ comes high- ( ly recommended is readily seen in the hearty indorsements of such men as F J Merriai 1 editor of The South ern Ruralist ; V. A. Parker, vice presi dent and general manager of Beck r Gregg, one of the biggest hardware firms in the south; W. L. Hunnicutt, editor of The Southern Cultivator; Hon. Jas. D. Price, Commissioner of agriculture; Dr. J. R. Horn, of Lu verne, Ala.; R. C. Carlisle, U. S. Agri culture expert: E. G. Willingham, Sr., of Atlanta, and many others from all sections of the country. That this plow and the Jobson Common Sense Methods have strong hacking in this county can not be denied when we consider the names of the progressive dealers who are helping to introduce the plow and secure for our people the crop in crease that will necessarily follow These firms, who are now giving out copies of the Jobson paper. ‘ Com mon Sense Farming,” are as follows: Lumpkin Hardware Cos.. of Oariers villc: Maxwell Hardware Cos., of Adairsv'tV; Farmers Supply Cos., of Tay'o ■' g. ft,.

It is needless for me to say that I agree with every word in this rej>ort cf Dr. Conner's, and earnestly recom mend and trust that they will he adopted by the city of Cartersville in every particular as soon as possible.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20th, 1917. jubject: Inspection, Cartersville, Bartow County, Ga., Sept. 18, 1917. Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, Secretary, Georgia State Board of Health. Atlanta, t sar sir: Cartersville ik the county seat for Bartow county and has an estimated population of 4,500. . The public water supply is taken from the Etowah riyer and is passed through sand filters and treated with licjuid chlorine before served the pub lic. Examinations of this water made at the State Board of Health labora tory show it to be free of colon bacilli. Near the water plant are three build ings, two of which are used as habita tions and the third building is used for recovering barytes and this work em ploys about 50 laborers." No sanitary conveniences have been provided for any of these buildings and the lack of these facilities I regard as a grave menace and an open avenue for pollu tion of the city water before and after treatment. The sanitary conditions throughout Cartersviile 1 found to he very had. The city water can he furnished every home in the city, hut there are no or dinances requiring property owners to connect with the city mains, and sur face wells are still used to a great ex tent. The sewer system reaches less Gian 5 per cent of the whole. Surface privies are found at many of the bet ter homes—this condition alone is enough to account for typhoid, as the flies have complete access to the con tents of these privies and can spread the germs of typhoid fever, and it is r.ot only possible but very probable that many of the wells from which the people now take water and think that they are getting pure water are al ready i>olluted from this source. I visited all the school l houses in the city and found a most deplorable con dition existing. Outhouses have been constructed, and the body evacuations were in plain sight on the surface of the ground and covered with flies, and tiiese same flies after feasting will car ry the filth of their legs and deposit it later on some innocent child’s bread or milk and in this way transmit the disease.

OLD HIDE ENGINEER CAINS 20 POUNDS Wouldn’t Take All Money in Universe for Good Tanlac Did Him—ls Second Oldest Man in Point of Service S. A. L R. R. Everybody in. Jacksonville either knows or has heard of Engineer Chas. .1 Weeks, who runs the Seaboard Air Line fast train "‘Fox'’ between Jack sonville and Tamipa. Mr. Weeks bears the distinction of being the second old est engineer in point of service with his road, having been with the com pany for thirty-three years. He is a man of very temperate habits, few words and strong convictions. Accord ing to bis own statement he has never taken a drink or used tobacco in any form. He not only hais a splendid rec ord for efficiency as a railroad man, tout is held in the very highest esteem toy his fellow citizens in Jacksonville. "I've gained twenty pounds on seven bottles of Tanlac and feel as well and happy as. I did when a boy,” said Mr. Weeks to the Tanlac representative who had called by special invitation at his attractive residence. 2139 Lydia street. “For twenty years I suffered with nervous indigestion of the worse sort,” he continued, “and at times during the past fifteen years I didn’t think 1 would last much longer. To tell you the truth, 1 finally reached‘the point where 1 didn't much care whether I lived or died. “After eating i would have so much gas on my stomach and would get so puffed up I couldn’t hardly fasten my clothes on. My food would sour and curdle, and I would have heartburn so bad I would feel like a piece of hot iron was lying in my stomach, and the pains were simply awful. To tell you the truth, I just don’t know how I lived. T could eat no meats or sweets of any kind, and for days .1 would have to live almost entirely on bread and water. God only knows how I suf fered! I just can’t describe it. The pains around my heart and the palpi tation wefe so intense I thought at times I must have heart trouble, too. I couldn’t find anything to relieve my troubles, although I tried hard. “Tanlac was so highly recommend ed to me that I bought a bottle and J. W. Vaughan & Cos.

I want you to regard it as just as important as if I had written it direct on my typewriter and mailed it to you in a sealed envelope under a two-cent stamp. The whole human race today is aware of the fact that this old earth is passing thru a great crisis, and that SOMETHING of a far-reaching consequence to the people must be the result. The human mind is in a questioning attitude, wondering if this reallv is to be the end of the old saying, PLEASE CHARGE THIS TO PAPA. Now, dear readers and friends, why not begin paying cash for your eatables and hear us say Thanks awfully, JIM SHAW. I cannot express in words how grate ful I fee’, for the good it has done me. Just think cf it—a few bottles of this medicine has made me feel better than I have in fifteen years—it seems al most unbelievable, but it's the plain, sample truth. I can now eat anything placed before men, and. everything agrees with me perfectly, and I enjoy i my sleep as much as a child, and 1 in I feeling just fine in every way. I feel | so nimble 1 think I could hold a good nrrner a tight foot-race. “Tanlac has entirely relieved me of the things that troubled me so long, and I just don't know how to express my gratitude. I wouldn’t be in the same shat* I was in before for all the money in the universe. ‘•lt anybody doubts mv statement you can just tell them to write me a personal letter and I'll answer it. I’ll be only too glad to have the opportun ity of telling them what this great medicine has done for me.’ Tanlac is sold by Young Bros.
