land Gas and Coke company Is fa
iay making announcement of the
off tr of aa issue of per teat pre
ferred stock at lt for Iartmeat
among its customer and people

reached with Its service.
It la lb Orat time since Itl
that It ha ottered preferred stock
for sale. Tie present issue will be
told through applications taken at
any of Its offices or by tta em
ployes. i
The company daring the past
two years has made a greater ex
tension of Its service than at any
like period of time tn its history.
The completion of Ua mains to Sa
lem was made daring the latter
part of It 29 Immediately subse
quent t ts acqalsitlon ef the gas
utility In this city. .Daring the
year 19 10 In an eaten iou of nerv
Ice to Albany, CorraJlis and Leb
anon and intervening commul
ties, 23 & miles of main were laid.
Since 1929 the number of custo

J4.704.000 . cable feet to 8S

The purpose of the preseat Is
sao la to finance extensions and
improvements to property. .
Tte company at the present
time Ins about 250 stockholders
within the territory it serres with
an investment by them of approxi
mately IMOMN," aaya Presi
dent Talbot of the company. "It
baa made gratifying progress la
securing customers in Us new ter
ritory in the Willamette valley
and building up the use ef tta
service, particularly In . view of
the short period of time in which
lis service has been available. The
com pany is an integral part of
- each community it serves, ' and
considers Itself a citizen of the
community and vitally Interested
in its progress. It seeks to culti
vate good will by being pablie
spirited and providing an effi
cient and economical service. It
quite natnraDy covets the Interest
of those In the communities it
serves and It expects to add to. its
3500 stockholders goodly nnm
ber from fts new communities
through offering a most conserva
tive type of investment with a
substantial return and one ef eoo
tunlty. The company feels Just
ly proud ef its dividend record,
-which, has been one of regularity
in payments since the organization
of ths present company in 1919.
It is my opinion; this investment
opportunity Is one of mutual help
fulness te the investor and com
pany alike. The preferred stock
has always had a high standing
among investment securities in
the FaciGe northwest both in mar
ketability and market price and
return. The present !ssue can be
purchased for either cash or on
the time payment plan and offers
a pronubI plan of investment of
one's savings-

With the season of hard eolds
and inrlueusa at hand, the eon
ty health department has issued
a number ef simple rales and Lay
s tractions to help prevent spread
of colda. ; i- ; !;
Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, eonaty
health offteer, petmts out that
there is no aatlsfaetory specine
treatment for prevention of eitlk
er. but that a great deal can be
dono to prevent the apread
through persistent daily practice
of the follow tog health, habits;
Keep away from people who

Stay awsy from well poopU
when yew yourself are not weO.
Keep away from crowds gath

Keep your body clean, espe
cially mouth, teeth and hands.
Always .wash hand thoroughly
before eating. The proper diet
and exercise will take care- of the
Intestinal traet as a rule.
Using a handkerchief when
coughing or sneexing.
Keep your place of business
and heme well rentfrnted. Good
rentHation means a eonstant sup
ply ef fresh air at a temperature
of fa degrees and. a relative hu
midity ef 4t. Proper ventilation
Is largely a matter ef controlling
the rate1 of dlaslpation of body
beat. Cold, moist air absorbs
body heat too rapidly and there
foro is chilling. Hot, dried-out air
Is irritating to steee and throat.
Warm, slightly mehtt, frean air
Is the Ideal for wiater. :
The diet should bo made hp
largely of fruits, vegetable- and
milk. When meat ie eaten, it
should be well balanced with
vegetables. When cereal Is eaten.
It should bo wen balanced with
fruits.
Drink plenty of pnro water.
See that yon get yoor aharo of
