With the advent of automobiles tW traffic question, even in-the smaller cities,'- has become ' more acute. Portland 'has a traffic, ofdinance requiring all vehicles to be.on the right liana side of the. streets, either while traveling or standing still. Several arrests have been made, for viocations of this ordinance. Union City has a similar ordinance with the addition of traffic posts in the center of the street at crossings. Winchester has just adopted like traffic rules, except it goes a little further and like Indianapolis and some of the larger cities has white lines at street intersections to guide the pedestrians and no more cutting across the street will be permitted. Some people get the notion that all this is done to work a hardship on the public but as a matter of fact it has been done as a matter of precaution and if properly observed will be a safety measure to all. i — oALL ARE INVITED An invitation is extended to the public to attend the graduation exercises to the graduates Father Kroeger will be held Friday evening at the K. of C. hall.

t TOrtr ■, ~ 4 . VEGETABLE ; CALOMEL t 4 t Vegetable calomel, extract of the root of the old-fashioned may-apple plant, does not salivate. As a 1 ver i stimulator, it’s great. It’s a per. i feet substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it’s better, because its action is gentle instead of severe and irritating — and it t leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognize this 1 and prescribe may-apple root (por dophyllin, they call it) daily. Combined with four other standard, all-vegetable remedies, mayapple root may now be had at most any druggist’s in convenient sugarr coated tablet form by asking for Sentanel Laxatives. If you forget the name, ask for the box that has the picture of the soldier on it. These tablets are small, easy to take and are really wonderful lit- » tie performers. They quickly clean out the poif sons that are causing you headache, constipation, sour stomach, biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath t and. coated tongue. , They are mild. They never gripe. And they are a bowel tonic as well as a cleanser and liver regulator. A 10c box should last one several weeks. A Physician’s trial package (4 doses) will be ■ mailed you free if you write men- , tioning this advertisement.
