Although he had not enjoyed good
health for some months and .had vis

sudden death of H. F. (John) Catron,

'Continue Anti-Malaria Campaign.
At the regular meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen last
Tuesday evening Sanitary Engineers
A. W. Fuchs and E. H. Gage, of the
U. S. Public Health Service were
present and spoke concerning the
continuation of the anti-malaria
campaign Inaugurated in 1921, with
the co-operation of the State Board
of Health. Captain Fuchs outlined
the work done, including drainage,
oiling, fish control-and inspection.
Drainage work consisted in clear
ing existing ditches in such a man
ner that a Sow- of water is main
tained and ponds eliminated, provid
ing an outlet for ditches in the north
east portion of town and keeping all
ditches in good condition until the
middle of October, when mosquito
breeding is over for the summer. Oil
is poured on ditches when the flow
is not rapid enough to prevent mos
quito breeding and also on standing
A water which it it not possible to
drain.
Fish control is practiced in shal
low open wells, fountains and ponda,
and consists in placing top-feeding
minnows in such places. These min
nows prefer mosquito wiggle tails as
food, and are, therefore, very help
ful. Regular inspections were made of
-all premises in town to find and
eliminate we ter held in artificial con
tainers, such as tin cans. These con
tainers breed that type of mosquito
which is a real pest and destroyer of
comfort in numerous ways, while
the ditches and ponds breed the ano
philes, or malaria carrying mosqui
to. The total copt of last year's work
-was $1360.82, of which Union City
paid $680.41. This represents an ex
penditure by the city of only 15 cents
per person for protection against ma
laria and mosquitoes.
This expenditure resulted in a de-
The Clagett Sale. ,
This great big monster clothing
and shoe sale at W. G. Clagett Co.'s
store proved that its saving was a
real gold mine. The opening day of
this sale wes greeted with big en
thusiasm.. Its reception by the peo
ple was a most signal triumph.
The store was simply swamped
with buyers and some came even
25 miles over mighty bad roads.
It shows that advertising in The
Commercial is very effective and
draws the poople like a magnet. It
is conclusive proof that good descrip
tive advertising convinces the people,
through the confidence they have fh
our newspaper, that 100 per cent
truth is our policy and that always
is a confidence builder with the pub
lic.
The results obtained the first days
of this sale is a very good indication
that even bigger crowds will visit
the store before the close ,of lliis
fourteen days' selling event.
We are informed that Mr. Wilson,
the sales manager, with the em
ployees at Clagett's store are going
through the stock every evening af
ter closing hours and taking all small
lots in every line handled by this
big store and driving the knife even
deeper into some prices. Through
that tho public will find brilliant
bargains waiting for them every day
at the sale and values that will road
out their purchase power.
W. G. Clagett Co.'s store is proving
to the public every day that they are
just as game as the farmers, and
the people can go to this store during
this sale expecting tremendous bar
gains and they will not be disap
