Reckless Motor Cycle Driver
Wrecks an Auto.
j. b. ObOcenski Is Fined SO as
Result by Judge Urmy.
CYCLIST is INJURED,
John L. Brink Has Leg Broken
in Auto Collision.
Was Thrown Under Car While
Riding Wheel.

Because the ordinance regulating the
speed of motor cycles was suggested by
the motor cycle dealers themselves, and
places a fine of $40 as the minimum
which may be imposed for exceeding
the speed limit, Judge Urrny of the city
police court could fine J. B. Obocenski
only that amount this morning in police
court Obocenski paid the fine and
left the station. His arrest followed
an accident in which his motor cycle
collided with an automobile driven by
George Seymour at Sixth and Buchan-
an streets Sunday morning. The motor
cycle knocked the auto clear of the
curling and up onto the parking of the
street. Neither the rider of the wheel
or the occupants of the auto were seri-
ously injured. 1t is declared that OBJ
ocenksi was travelling at the rate of
from 80 to so miles an hour when his
pop-pop struck the auto Obocenski
declares he was running only 1S miles
an hour when the accident occurred.
He was thrown into the arms of Mr..
Seymour. This probably saved him
from serious injury.
At o'clock Sunday afternoon John
T. Brink, bookkeeper for Adams Bros,
was injured and his 2-year-old child
suffered a number of bruises when they

and Horne streets. Brink is hard of
hearing and with his daughter riding
between the handle bars attempted to
cross the street in front of the auto.
Brink was thrown under the auto and

For several weeks past The Lee & Osgood Co. have done the biggest bus mess they ever had in any one article in selling Hokara, the skin food that has won so many friends in Norwich.

There has yet to be found any form of wound or disease affecting the skin or mu- cous membrane that Hokara does not heal, and its action is instantaneous that those who try it are sim ply de- lighted with it right from the start.
 In spite of it's unusual curative pow CTS, the price is triffing To convince every one of its merits The Lee & Osgood Co. will sell a liberal sized jar for 25c; larger size soc. And ,remem- Der that if you don not think it does what 1t claims. you get your money back. You certainly can afford to try it on this plan.

A Physician on Food.

A physician out in Oregon has views about food. He says:
 q have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease is to humanity to teach them how to protect their health. especially by hy- gienic and dietetic laws.
 With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying to the public that in my own experience and also from personal observation I have found no food to equal Grape Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence.
 "Tt is r-y experience that no physical condition forbids the use of Grape, Nuts. To persons in health there is tD the stomach, especially at breakfast, t. start the machinery of the human system on the days work. Tn cases Of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape Nuts and cream. and I think it is necessary not to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great ach is too weak to digest other food
