ORDERS ASSISTANTS JO PREVENT HEAVY HAULING ON ROADS

tSupt. of Highways, Jones, Says That Law Will Be Enforced to the Letter.

Assistant road superintendents have been Instructed to use their police ipower next week in preventing heavy hauling on turnpikes, macadam and free gravel roads, as Highway Commissioner Jones expects the road surfaces to be in the worst condition next week that they will be any other time during the spring. The thawing snow has already made roads soft and unfit for travel, but they can still be used without great damage. Automobiles would also be made the target of the highway commissioner but he has no law to prevent them from using road's in any condition. He declared today that the law excluding automobiles in the term "heavy vehicles" is unjust and an imposition on farmers. "By next year efforts will be made to secure legislation protecting the

farmer from the unjust practice of

aiming laws at him, said Commissioner Jones. "Liess damage is really done by a fanner when the roads are in such condition than by auto

mobiles, and yet there is no law that

can touch the machines. Test cars

run in all kinds of weather and over all roads in the county and throw the

soft dirt of the roads to one side. A wagon driven at a moderate speed

does not throw the surface dirt off

the road."

The assistant superintendents have police power to arrest under an act

of 1907, any driver of a wagon weigh

ing more than 2,500 pounds with load and driver. The penalty for violation of the act is a fine of not less than 15 nor more than ?50. For each arrest

made from which a prosecution results, the person making the arrest

secures $2.

The highway commissioner has had large posters printed, which were distributed to superintendents of the

nine road districts, where they will

be placed in conspicuous places.

William Cheney Ellis, the Cincinnati leather merchant, on trial for his life, charged with the murder of his wife, fainted in the witness chair in Judge Petit's court today when his cross examination began. Assistant State Atorney Malato, conducting the prosecution of Ellis made his cross questioning as dramatic as possible when the witness took the stand. Seizing the revolver which Ellis is accused of using to shoot his wife to death, he waved the weapon in front of the witness and shouted: 'Didn't you wait until your wife was peaceably sleeping and then didn't

you press this revolver against her j and pull the trigger like this? I Click, click, click. , I Three times Malato waved the emp- j ty revolver before Ellis's staring eyes. ;

The witness, pale and with large beads of perspiration standing on his forehead, tried to answer. He straightened himself in the chair looked straight at the State Attorney, and then collapsed, his hands dangling limply over the arms of the chair, his chin sinking to his chest. Attorney Remus, of Ellis's counsel dashed a glass of water in the face of the witness. Ellis straightened up, took a few swallows of water and nodded to Assistant District Attorney Malato to continue his questioning.

TRY THIS IF YOU HAVE DANDRUFF

Or Are Bothered With Falling Hair or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinaryliquid arvon: apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the pcaip and rub it in gently with the finger tips. ' By morning most, if not all, of jour dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to keep your hair looking rich, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but !t makes it 6tringy, straggly, dull, dry brittle and lifeless, and everybody noUcee it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all that you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. (Advertisement)
