Several times during the past few days our attention has been called to the fact that automobile drivers in this city are not paying attention to the laws and rules which govern such modes of traveling. There are state laws and a local ordinance which governs this kind of travel and anv person who drives a car. knows when they violate those laws. Care should be used at the crossings, especially downtown, drivers should use their horns, should be careful about driving on the right side of the street an 1 in making turns. New city ordinance books are now being printed and these contain a brand new and up-to-the-minute ordinance regarding automobiles. These will be out in a few davs and we believe the mayor should see that the ordinance is obeyed to the letter. It may save lives. A few traffic policemen at least at the busiest corners for a short time would aid greatly in getting the people started in the right way and an affidavit or two may be necessary to let the people know that business is meant.

Caught by a String Under Your Nose ’’Thank a merciful Pr. vi.lente that ft has provided me with a keen sense of humor that just takes me sailing over any bumps of what otherwise might be mountains of annoyance," said the Hoosier Observer, “sometimes the funniest pictures come into my mind that 1 must hurst right out laughing and sometimes it is rather humiliating or 'embarrassing tp explain just what has amused me. although it is quite necessary to save my reputation for ordinary common sense. But lam glad that I have the funny brain pictures just the same. They save me from many a bump of annoyance, as I have said. Now I just cannot help laughing at this story 1 have read, and all similar circumstances which come before ray observation in real life. It brings to my mind the picture of 'Old Man Shafer’ getting caught under the nose by a string. The story I have just been reading is one of those world-without-end oid stories of someone who made someone else jealous, and they in turn tried to get back at them by trying to make them jealous of someone else. Every time I hear of such a case. I just laugh and think: ‘Well, Old Man Schafer has got caught under the nose again by a string.' Now the Old Man Schafer story is this. Tt is one of the many, many stories I heard from my mother and somehow, although they were real, true stories, they always had a little lesson sticking out semewhere. My mother and her brother, Chan, were real, live youngsters when they were little and what mischief they made up. between them, would have made ten Peck’s Bad Boys envious. Now they had a little playmate. Helen, who was a veritable little lamb (but she died young). Living in my grandfather’s home—for he kind-hearted-ly kept a regular home for friendless, was an old man named Schafer. He was called —not disrespectfully. 'Old Man Schafer.’ He was what is known in present-day parlance as ‘grouchy.’ and probably had good reason to be. But there was no good reason to the two live youngsters and they ' delighted in teasing him. One way was to stretch a string across the hallway leading to his room so that in the dark when he went up it caught him just under the nose and jerked his head back. Now, Old Man Schafer had no love for these youngsters. He may. or he may not have had for the gentle Helen, hut anyway, arming himself with a glass imitation ruby ring—it was a verycheap one at that —he presented it with due honor and respect to Helen, before the very gaze of my mother and Chan. It may or may not have made them envious, but they kept on stretching the string just the same. When I read those foolish stories of trying to win back affection and regard by provoking jealousy, I think of the string and nose, and the laugh comes. It is such a cheap, cheap common way of doing—that trying to make some one jealous—that I do not see how anyone could have any respect, to say nothing of love, for one who took that means of so doing. And then, too. there is the question of ‘the goat.’ the one on whom gifts and affections and ‘kindnesses’ are showered in order to make the other jealous It seems to me. I would just as soon be either of the other parties as the goat — though the ‘goat’ may not always realize that it is used as a tool. In such sases. it is to be pitied. Don’t let someone catch you under the nose with a string! All of which I sez, sez I, "Tours truly, "THE HOOSIER OBSERVER." Mr. and Mrs. ». E. Butler cf northeast of the city, entertained a coin-

VEGETABLE CALOMEL •I—.———— ■'— “ " ’ Vegetable calomel, extract of the root of the old-fashioned may-apple plant, does not salivate. As a liver stimulator, it's great It’s a perfect substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it’s better, because its action is gentle instead of severe and irritating—and it leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognize this and prescribe may-apple root (podcphvllin, 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 sugarcoated 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 little performers. Tney quickly clean out the poisons that are' causing you headache, constipation, sour stomach, biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath 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 mentioning this advertisement. The Sentanel Remedies Co., 802 Madison Ave., Corington, Ky.
