My dear Dr. ----: The “Health Car” now touring the state under the auspices of the West Virginia State Department of Health, in the interest of health education and child welfare, will arrive in your city at 8.30 o’clock on Saturday P.M. and will remain till 1.20 P.M. o’clock on Tuesday. The car is a vestibuled railway coach entirely remodeled and contains a chemical and bacteriological laboratory, a health exhibit of posters and electrically driven models and a picture machine. These, with the explanation given by a Health Instructor on the car, serve to impress on the minds of the people the principles of the promotion of health and prevention of disease. May we count on you to secure the interest and co-operation of the medical, dental and nursing professions in your community, for a public meeting at an hour which you, in consultation with the Superintendent of Schools and a president of an influential woman’s organization, may decide? We are also very desirous of securing the attendance of the Mayor and Town Council and any other citizens who do, or should, feel responsibility for community welfare and the conservation of child life. We have also written the Superintendent of Schools and your newspapers, realizing that the medical profession, the educational people and the press are the agencies our Government is counting upon for co-operation in constructive, peace-time work. The Health Car Corps will communicate with you immediately upon arrival in your city to learn of your plans for the utilization of their time and effort while with you. We are anxious to make their stay in each community count for the highest possible things in the interest of the public health and welfare. The car is supplied with a number of good Health Films which we will be glad to show, free of charge, to the public if arrangements can be made with some one who has a full-sized picture machine and a hall at his disposal. Sincerely yours, S. L. JEPSON, M.D. _State Health Commissioner_. The following report from the director of the Texas Peach Demonstration Train, described on page 13, is fairly typical of advance work done in local communities without a personal representative:
