Good Tires Speed
Deliveries
No car is better thsn its tires.
And time lost through tire troubles cannot
be replaced.
Good tires are the best practical guarantee
of your car's continuous snd economical
service.

tires our 76 years of experience in the rubber
business have taught us to make.
You have your choice of five different
types for passenger car or light delivery use—
•Nobby', 'Chain', 4Usco\ 'Plain', and the
famous 'Royal Cord'.
There is also the 'Nobby Cord' for heavy-
duty vehicles, as well as the Solid Truck Tire.
Among these good tires you will find
exactly the treads best suited to your car and
your driving conditions.

FIGHTING
Th® Oklahoma State Board of
Health and th® United States Public
Health Service are co-operating In a
campaign against venereal diseas^i-
which will be intensive and state-
wide. Lieutenant A. J. McLaughlin,
who has won a deserved reputat!on as
one of the most competent and cfti-
clent men In the service in this line
of work has been detailed to thi? d'ate
representing the government. The
State Heaith Department U co-o?jr
atlng vigorously In this campaign.
But to make the campulgn a teal
success, to accomplish the things,
which should be accomplished and to
make Oklahoma a clean, healthy state
more than the activities of govern-
ment and state agencies is needed.
There is need for the co-operation jf
every right-minded man and woman
in this state, of every official, o*
every editor, of every person who has
Influere in his or her coiuiuunIl>. It
is a community matter, a question
which concerns the safety of everv
family in every community iS theu
state.
Seriousness of the problem.
Despite all that has been said and
written, there still are many persons
who do not appreciate the Importance
of the venereal disease problem. It
is on® of the most serious health ques-
tions which this country and our own
state has to face. The men who were
drafted into the army were the pick
of America. Yet the percentage of
victims of venereal disease was great-
er than those of all other diseases
combined.
It must be remembered that ven-
ereal diseases are highly infectious
and that in many cases the worst vic-
tims are innocent sufferers. There'
has been, for too many years in this
country a policy of silence, of not tell-
ing the public the real conditions. It
Is largely because of this mistaken
policy that the evil has grown to be as
terrible as it Is. If people in general
knew the facts in regard to venereal
diseases and the misery they are re-
sponsible fot, there would be an in-
stant and overwhelming demand for
measures to eliminate them.
Public Support Needed.
The federal government has appro-
priated $18,000 for the use in Okla-
homa from the present time to July 1st
1919. as this state s share in the nation
wide campaign. The state is expect-
ed to appropriate at least a similar
amount. The measures whtch It is
proposed to take are practical ones.
Provision is being made for the proper
treatment of persons who are suffer
ing from such diseases. Provisions
are also being made to prevent the
spread of infection. The position of
the state and government author!
ties Is that Infected persons are I
source of danger to themselves and
others. This source of danger must
be eliminated as far as possible.
The efficiency of these measures
will to a great degree depend on the
public support accorded. The people
of this state should realize that offi
clals who are lax In enforcing the law-
are encouraging an evil which strikes
at the well-being of every community.
It is a mistake to suppose that con-
ditions may be bad In other and older
states, but that they are "pretty
good" in Oklahoma. This is not true.
