WEARY WILLIES ARE APPEARING Knights Os The Highway Beginning To Spend Nights At Tile Factory ‘‘The temperature has not dropped enough to make the ‘boys of the road' hunt a warm sleeping place,” stated the management of the Krick-Tyn-dall Tile Manufacturing company this morning, when asked how many “knights of the -highway," commonly called tramps, were guests of the “Hotel a-la-Hsated,” meaning the drying room in the big Krick-Tyndall company’s factory where refuge from the cold nights is sought by those who have no regular home and is given free of charge to those who obey the rules of Night Policeman William Smitely. Last evening only two tramps, one of them a negro, slept in the warm room on a pillow of papers. Mr. Smitely has certain rules which the “knights of the road" must obey if tjiey wish to enjoy the comforts of a warm sleeping room. They must keep the room clean, remove old papers when they leave, and do other things which the night-watchman sees fit to enforce. Smoking is not p r mltted where chances of fire are

liable to taltj place. For years the Krick-Tyndall factory has been known from coast to eoiwt by the “knights" and refuge from the cold has been given to hundreds of tramps in the warm drying room of the factory. When zero wontber arrives it is not uncommon to have as high as a dozen men housed in the place. It Is said that very few of the men ask for work. They got up in the mornings, leave the place and then come back at night to “maks their bed." Several of the tramps spent the Thanksgiving holidays at the I tory. HOMEI MADE TEA FOR CONSTIPATION Is used by entire families because it is purely vegetable, does the i work and costs very little. ’ Why pay high prices for Liver and i Bowel remedies when none are better . than Dr. Carter's K. and B. Tea, which is purely vegetable, can be 1 brewed at home, and a 30-cent package will last a long time? Thousands of old people will tell you they have been drinking it for years, and after the liver and bowels have been put in fine condition in a ■ few days by' a before bedtime cup, that only an occasional cup is afterwards necessary to keep one feeling r fit and fine. t People who drink a cup of Dr. Carter's K. and B. Tea once in a while, seldom, if ever, have any billious atr tacks, sick headache or sallow skin, s It’s good for boys and girls, especially those who are peevish and fretful. Druggists have been selling it for ; many years.

GOOD EXCHANGE FOR W. S. STAMPS Holders May Exchange Stamps For Certifi cates Drawing 4' / ‘ Per Cent Postmaster Harry Fritzinger an nounced today that the U. S. Treasury Department has authorized him to offer owners of 1919 War Savings Stamps an opportunity to renew their investment at a higher Interest rate. Although the 1919 stamps do not ma ture until January Ist, 1g24, owners of this issue may exchange their stamps now for the new 4 1-2 per cent Treasury Savings Certificates. Every 1919 stamp presented at the post office this month will be accepted at its face value of five dollars if used as part paynynt for one or more new certificates dated January 1, 1924. This oi portunity should appeal to every one who holds War Savings Stami>« bought in 1919 —whether he holds one stamp or two hundred. Postmaster Fritzinger is anxious to handle the bulk of these exchange.' bjjore the usual Christmas rush begins at the post ofllcp. The new cer- . tificates also are sold for cash.
