V ITTE OMATTA RrXDAV BRR: NOVEMBER 2, 1013. 7-0 GOODYEAR JTRE SAYING Tire Company is Educating Custom ers. Through the Dealers. TO REMEDY NEGLECT BY OWNERS 'Premature Deterioration of Tire In One tn TVeRlect," ffayn Manager Henderson, "nnd We Hope to Fnrnlah Itemedlea." "The care of tire is essential, If the expense of running an automobile In to be kept at a minimum," gays P. A. Hender son, manager of the adjusting depart ment of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Akron, O. ' Premature deterioration Ib due to neg lect, therefore educating the consumer Is a remedy for short sen-Ice, and In addi tion Increases his faith In the tires he uses. "We have recently Introduced a plan whereby the dealer Is enabled to see the advisability and advantage gained by In structing his customers on the care of their tires when the first adjustment Is made. It Is an educational campaign that Is being carried on by the adjusting department through the- dealer, and he Is the logical Intermediary between the manufacturer and the consumer. "From a recent Investigation we found that, a large portion of the tires returned for an adjustment had gone, out of service through external causes that could have been avoided. "We knew that there was only one remedy that could overcome this condi tion, and that was to Instruct the user of automobile tires on their care. When a customer experiences difficulty with his tires, he Is naturally at the time of the trouble In a receptive mood, and will no doubt take advantage of any Information he might receive that would tend to over come his trouble In the future. This is the object of Instructing customers when making their first adjustment." GOOD ROADS STOP DISEASE Present n the Cheering Contribution tn Uplift of Pnbllc Health. Tew persons, on first thought, would sec any possible connection between good roads and good health. Yot the Stato Hoard of Health of Kansas says that good roads can and will prevent disease. How? By the removal of weeds and trash. Weeds and trash prevent the prompt evaporation of moisture and pro mote retention" of ground water. This mftkes breeding spots for mofxjultoes, flies and other insects, which are known ns disease carriers, not to mention chinch bugs, hoppers and other Insects which arc crop damagers. Furthermore, an Un dergrowth of weeds Invites the dumping of garbage and manure by offering con cealment, of which fact careless and thoughtless people are prone to take ad vantage, thus Increasing the facility of Insect breeding and providing these in rect carriers with proper material for disease transmission. Good roads also prevent disease by providing good drain age. Many farms have no means of drainage except by ditches along road ways. Open ditches, clear of brush and debris, with hardened surface and proper fall, afford these farms the opportunity of ridding themselves of many a stag nant pool. The removal of weeds, proper road grading, surface hardening and oil ing, Insures prompt drainage of all pool, ditch and surface water, removing the possibility of insect breeders, for none can multiply without moisture. Road oil ing in Itself, Is destructive of 'Insect lar vae, especially mosquitoes a well known fact. Dry roads' offer pedestrians, and notably children who arc compelled to walk to and from school, dry shoes and feet. While colds aro due to specific germs, yet Ids a well-known fact that cold, wet feet and chilled limbs lower the resistance, of. lndlvlduas and make them more favorable subjects for lnfec t'ons of the respiratory passages, In cluding pneumonia and. tuberculosis. Good roadx prevent disease by setting an example to adjoining farm premises. Good roads promote travel and set an example to the farmer whose premises are bordered by them. The comparison of a well graded, clean highway with an unkempt and trashy barnyard adjoining is sufficient to stimulate every land owner to a clean-up. lYlde compels him to offer to passers by a neat appearing and attractive house and barnyard. Re sults are only too obvious Good roads are active disease prevention agencies, aside from their financial and commer cial value. American Medical Associa tion Journal..
