He put up a system of meat inspection that was very good In tbway of keeping diseased animal products off the table He set forth various principles of racial hygiene which have been of tremendous value In keeping the Jewish race a healthy and sturdy race He did mighty well Indeed considering the fact that he must have had a very meager course in sanitation -as judged by our stand arda—when he went to PharMb's school ——- ■■ —o— —— Hunters Are Warned Os Squirrel Season Hunters were reminded today by Virgil M.

Our twenty years in business in Decatur has been most pleasant and it is with sincere pride that we point to the many fine structures we have been instrumental in building and helped to build. It has also been our pleasure to excavate and build the basements in nearly all of the* many new homes and municipal buildings recently constructed in Decatur.

State laboratory tests rate the material taken from our plant to be among the finest in the state. We sell sand and gravel and can make delivery to your home upon short notice.
