WAR STILL OIERIII A HIDDEN MENACE TO HEALTH A large variety of the most common diseases will event ually be stamped out by improved sanitation. These are germ diseases. The difficulty of coping with them now Is the difficulty of realizing that such germs are about us all the time, always ready to multiply and menace health whenever conditions are favorable. The way to guard against these dangers Is to use RELIABLE DISINFECTANTS frequently and thoroughly.

We have materials suitable for every purpose and if desired can advise you what to use In any particular Instance. j NEWLIN DRUG COMPANY I La Grande, Oregon.
