ABOUT THE CARE OF YOUR CAR
Do you keep a written record, showing just what
your car will need, and when, to keep it in top
condition? Your HumWr r-rvicr rr.in will do that
for you, and remind you, when me time comes,
about battery- chcc!;-up, ch^sis lubrication, spark
plug cleaning—alt tbc things that mean more miles
of better service. This is no time to take chances on
car or tires, you’ll agree. That’s why Humble serv-
ice—planned, complete and thorough, will appeal
to you.
II A>k about ”20 Ways to Get
Jb Longer Life from Your Car” at
Hk your Humble station. That’s the
SBfli plan thousands of Texas motorists
are following to get more miles of
better service. Talk to your Humble service man
about it. You’ll find him experienced, capable, and
anxious to help you. Many of the things he sug-
gests are free—and when your car nerds service
which requires time and the use of equipment, his
charge is nominal.
Give your car a chance to do its best — with
regular Humble service.

ADVISES VACCINATION
FOR TYPHOID FEVER
Austin, March 26 "If you have
not been vaccinated against ty-
phoid fever within the lust two
or three years, go to your doctor
and be protected against it,” Dr
George W Cox, state health offi-
cer, advises prospective campers,
Boy and Girl Scouts, summer va-
cationist* and all other users of
the open road, whether for business
or pleasure, as the out-of-doors
season approaches.
‘Typhoid fever,” he continued.
"Is unnecessary and preventable.
Every case Is due either to com-
munity negligence or to the Ig-
norance or carelessness of some
Individual
"A carrier Is a person who has
hud typhoid at .some time and who
even after recovery carries the
germs of the disease in the urine
and the discharges from the in-
testinal tract. Carriers who are
careless In their personal habits
are likely to infect any food they
handle with unwashed hands. Some
of the most serious and far reach-
ing cut breaks of the disease have
been caused by drinking milk or
eating foods that have been hand-
led by carriers Persons may be
carriers without knowing it
"Typhoid germ.*- are hitch-hikers
They are picked up and spread
from person to jH-rson by water,
milk, flies, fingers, food Every case
of typhoid is contracted by w.iy
of the mouth and the digestive sys-
tem The state department of
health and the local health de-
portments can be depended upon
to continue their fight against the
disease but there will still be sour-
ces of Infection that can be ward-
ed off only through the protection
afforded by vaccination against the
disease *
Carelessness Is a crime In war-
time! Are you guilty to harboring
fire hazards?
