NO. 12
Rurai Life~hnd Typhoid
Dr. A. R. Lewis,Commissioner.
You who live in the rural dis-
tricts -the envy of your breth-
ern of the congested city sec-
tions—you who have the cold
stream running by the door, the
deep conl well, the rich, foamy
milk fresh from the cow, a,nd
you who may have typhoid
germs reeking about your place:
To you this bulletin is address-
ed!
City men sigh for country life
with all its benefits and privileg-
es. Yet the city man has more
benefits, particularly from health
and sanitation standpoints, than
the farmer ever dreams of. Thn
city man, largely because he is
a city man and has not the home
surroundings for his own care, i
is guarded as carefully as the |
Kohinoor diamond. His food
is inspected closely, the water he
drinks is filtrated and treated;
and double-treated, a policeman
suppresses vice in his neighbor-
hood.
But the farmer or the person j
who lives in ■ small community!
such as are scattered all over;
Oklahoma, can hope for none of
this paternal municipal govern-
ment, except, in such degree as j
he can get a substitute from the j
state system. His very isolated i
condition—the envey of the city ;
man!—sets him apart and away |
from the advantages. He can
have no health officer to watch
out for him, often he can have
no modern and safe water sys-
tem, no sewage system worthy
of the name.

Fall Shoe Prices Discussed
Predictions are that Footwear
that Coming Season will
Advance $1.00 or More
per Pair
St. Louis shoe men, both re-
tail and wholesale, are obtaining
a great deal of publicity in the
local press with relation to the
fall prices which will prevail in
footwear, particularly women's
shoes. Statements by President
J. J. Sensenbrenner of the Mis-
souri Retail Shoe Dealers' Asso-
ciation and also by President A.
C. Brown of the Hamilton-Brown
Shoe Company have appeared
recently in the daily press. Mr.
Brown is the authority for the
statement that the price to the
i-etaileron many numbers has
already advanced $1.00 or more
per pair and there are possibili-
ties that the range of advance
may go as high as $4.00 per pair
on some lines. "When the pres-
ent out of the factories is placed
on the shelves of the retailers,"
said Mr. Brown recently, "the
excess cost will have to be charg-
ed up to the consumer Further
than that, with prices of labor,
materials and machinery mount-
ing steadily, there is no relief in
sight." President Sensenbrenner
in a similar statement, told of
the European demand for Ameri-
can leather and its effects on the
shoe situation in this country
and added that his belief was
that fine footwear for women
which has sold as high as $16 to
$18 per pair within the past year,
cannot be obtained the coming
winter much under $25 per pair,
while the cheaper grades which
were sold at $5 to $6 within the
past year, will be run up to $7
or $8 per pair. Altogether the
consumer in this section is being
well informed as to the outlook
with relation to what he will
have to pay for his winter needs
