NO WARNING: — "There was no tail light on the truck." Thus ends the story of a gruesome automobile accident on a highway near Wichita, Kan., recently, in which three persons were burned to death. In the dark of night a light automobile ran into a truck without warning tall light and burned up when a pipe extending from the rear of the truck pierced the car's gas tank. The incident can remind many of us drivers of narrow escapes from similar deaths we have had as we came suddenly upon slow-moving trucks in the night, without tail lights to warn of their presence on the roads. Most trucks that are operated by day have little occasion to check up on their tail lights. So that when they are caught out on the high road at night there is quite a likelihood that, from their excessive jarring, they have rendered these warning signals ineffective. It is these trucks that cause the danger on the highway. It is one of these that figured In the accident at Wichita. One of the states requires all trucks and busses to carry red reflectors in back so that, if the tail light becomes inoperative, the reflected rSVS’ OT an approaching car's headlights would be sufficient to warn its driver of the vehicle ahead. This law might well be copied by every other state in the union. At least our legislators might see to it that truck operators be obligetf to keep working tail lights on the back of their vehicles at all times, and that these be lit at night. Sometimes, even though lighted, the headlights nrght as well not be there because of the mud and oil caked on the glass. Proper authorities should see that lights are there and that they can be seen at an effective distance. It would prevent many a disastrous accident. —Frankfort Morning Times. President Hoover’s suggestions to congress seem very good if they can be carried out. Up to date there has been a tendency to defeat those things the president recommends, because it seems the bills when they appear do not sound nearly so attractive. Making laws for all the people is a difficult job when the effort is concentrated on helping only a few. The first effort is to be tax reduction of one per cent and thats fine for those who will benefit. The difficulty is that a great majority of the folks will not have to pay any income taxes this year and consequently are not invested. Tariff legislation always'W-, suits in a bitter struggle and the present, bill will have a hard old pathway to go over before it becomes law. The message is not sensational but. just about what the public expected. Winning football pays large returns and a few seasons like that enjoyed by Notre Dame this year should give them not only the new stadium but dormitories and other buildings and a sinking fund that will reduce the cost of education considerably. The receipts at the game with California a couple of weeks ago was more than $500,000. Os this the city of Chicago got $75,000 for rent and the balance was divided between the two colleges. It is claimed that Notre Dame's share of football receipts this year is more

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Beresford S. D.—(UP)— For 78 years, a razor had never touched the face of John Singleterry. Recently he climbed Into a barber's chair and for the first time in his lite culled for a shave. than a million dollars. By the way, what ever became of the latke county investigation. Ten days ago wo were promised all kinds of sensational revelations concerning the 1926 and 1928 elections and then suddenly it slowed up and now seems to have entirely petered out. There is no doubt its a great story but the powers that be can’t afford to let it break and so the lid is clamped down and held there. Only eighteen busy days between now and Christmas for the shoppers. Its easy to do if you watch the columns of this’paper and make up your list of gifts. Those who do it right now will have the advantage of those who wait a week or two and get caught in the big jam. The grand jury has adjourned and the suspense is over for most folks. Only five indictments were returned which is a fairly good record, we would say, when we consider that this is the first session in Adams county for a year. Winter seems to" have set in and the coal men have a right to smile. Indications for a four or five months cold season are bright just now and those who haven't a supply of fuel on hands may well be shopping. The three football teams credited with being the best in the United States this year are Notre Dame. Purdue and Pittsburgh. Its a record worth boasting of when two Indiana colleges figure in this honor. The Adams County Memorial hospital is filled to overflowing with patients these days, every room occupied to capacity which makes us wonder how we ever got along without such an institution.

Only those who have suffered agony for years with stomach or kidney trouble, can realize how wonderful it felt to Mrs. Edna Coffelt, 351 Gertrude St., Kendallville, Ind., I to be entirely rid of these painful ailments. She says: "For five years 1 had a bad case of stomach trouble. Food would not digest properly and the gas and bloating after meals was almost unbearable. I was subject to frequent bilious attacks and dizzy spells, and was weak and nervous all the time. Night brought no relief because my kidneys were disordered and got me up several times. My back ached terribly, and I had severe pains in my left side. 1 tried a great many medicines, but my first and only relief came when I began taking Viuna. I I felt better right from the first fewdoses. Soon the awful stomach gas and pains stopped and my appetite picked up. Now I eat heartily without the least distress. Viuna also relieved my kidney trouble promptly. The back-ache has gone, and my riisep is not disturbed any more. The pain in my side has vanished and so have the biliousness and dizziness. My skin has cleared un and I look and feel better today than I have for years. Viuna surely deserves all the credit for my new-found health and strength, and 1 heartily recommend it to sick folks.” • Thousands of hopeless sufferers from kidney trouble, back-ache, 1 stomach trouble and rheumatism, have been restored to perfect health by this wonder' medicine. Why 1 shouldn't it do as much for you? Try i one bottle of Viuna under positive guaranty. VIU NA The Wonder Medicine Sold by Callow & Kohne.
