THE CORRECT AUTo-sIGNAL

s There is nothing more confusing than the great variety of sounds sent forth by auto horns and it is not strange that there is an agitation countrywide for a standard horn (which shall be reliable as a danger signal
 Upon this subject, MT. Hudson Max fm, who is recognized as an fnterna- Hionai authority in the matter of sound, jlnas this to say:
 s'I am firmly convinced, from many years of practical experience in auto 1nobiling, that the automobile must be equipped with a distinctive signalling Gevice, capable of giving an effective war ming signal, which must of neces- eity, in order to be a warning signal, be a harsh and startling sound. Such a signalling device enables the chauf- feur to avoid many serious accidents, Nwhich would inevitably result from the employment of a device emitting plea sant or musical sound
 - Caution and skill on the part of fhe chauffeur in the choice of speed and in the use of his brakes are not alone sufficient to prevent collisions. He must be also armed with effective warning signal.
 'The abolition of such warning de- vices on automobiles operated in crowded city streets would certainly result in injury. to numerous persons and the loss of many lives, with con- sequent damage suits brought against Erivers and owners of automobiles.
 'The automobilist who makes un- necessary use of his harsh sounding eigna1 horn is as liable to punishment for mfsdemeanor as he would be were he to go through the streets shouting at the top of his voice.
 The antiquated bulb horn is about as inefficient a signalling device as could be devised If the chauffeur Happens to become at all excited and attempts to make an unusually loud sound with it, the tongue generally icloses, with the result that it makes DO 4eund EheteyE."

 New York, July 24-AlthouSh rela- lives and her attorneys reported to the police the disappearance of Lillian Graham, one of the girl shooters of Millionaire w. E. D. Stokes, and her lawyer. Clark Jordan, insisted that she had been kidnapped, the police abso- lutely refused to get wildly excited. They suggested that it might be a good idea to interview the press agent of the theatre at which the pair have been appearing. Jordan, however, in- sisted that there was something queer in the absence of the girl. He assert ed that both the Graham and Conrad girls have been followed for days by. private detectives.
 According to Ethel Conrad's story, Lillian left their apartment, Saturday night, to get some things to eat and some face powder, and has not been seen since.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES.


 President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in it's relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pillls~ both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in- gredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for cI1il- dren and for grown persons, and it retains today it's pre-eminence above all other preparations of its kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. F. B. Brill and Cur tis Pharmacy. P3 135

STATE POLICE.

It was another state police Sunday at Savin Rock yesterday. From all appearances all the places along the shore were as dry as the sea next door was wet and any place that had any idea of catering to a thirsty pub- lie felt something in the air that forbade it. The report quickly spread that there were state police men looking the place over and that was enough. No raids were reported as result of the days work.

Tribute of Respect.

AS the troubled stream of Time rolls on
into the peaceful ocean of Eternity it &C.
casionally happens to bear as its burden
some being more valued, more beloved and
more useful than those whom every day
life presents to view; whose loss leaves a
void in the community which cannot be
easily filled, and leaves behind the memory
of his virtue and usefulness.
most striking instance of this hap
pened in our midst in the death of DR..
Braxton Wise on the 9th of December,
bringing sorrow and sadness to a large
circle of relatives and friends and making
desolate the hearts of his beloved wife and
adopted daughter, Miss Grace Larkin.
And knowing that there are many who
desire to see the memory of this good man
and earnest Christian worker honored by
some special token of respect, we, who
have always esteemed our brother living
exemplar of many social and Christian
virtues, offer this tribute of respect.
Be it therefore resolved, That in the
death OF our beloved Superintendent and
faithful coworker, DR.. Braxton Wise, this
Sunday School is personally bereaved.
Resolved, That in his death our church
loses one whose generosity and devotion
endeared him to all, and whose counsel
and active assistance rendered him a
source of inspiration and strength to our
cause.
Resolved, That we hold him in loving
remembrance for his "readiness unto
every good work. He was characterized
by patient, obliging and cheerful dispo-
sition, his life was an example of meek
ness, gentleness and untiring devotion in
the service Of his Lord and Master, and
the good influence Of his Christian career
lives on.
Resolved, That the memory of his noble
manhood will help US to do our work faith
fully and keep up the work he so we'll
planned and in which he served so many
years.
Resolved, That, recognizing the loss
sustained by our church and community,
we extend to his devoted wife and loving
daughter our deepest sympathy and love
and invoke Gods guidance and sustaining
power.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu
tons be presented to the bereaved family;
that they be spread upon the minutes of
the Benton Methodist Sunday School, and
that a publication of same be made in the
Bossier Banner.

Courtney Fenet Passes Away.

Mr.. Courtney Fenet, known to many of
our readers, and whose place of residence
was near Hosston, died at sanitarium in
Shreveport last Saturday, the interment
taking place in Cottage Grove Cemetery
the following day. His death was due to
complication of troubles. During the
month he underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis and then. in his weakened con-
dition, an attack of typhoid fever followed.
He was young man of integrity, COM
mendable habits and good business judg-
ment. He was true friend to his friends
and loving and considerate husband and
father in his home. He will be as sadly
missed by all for time yet to come as his
untimely death is lamented to-day.
He is survived by his wife miss Mamie
Thompson) two little children, sister and
a brother and many other relatives. They
have the coincidence of the writer and
many other friends in their hour of grief.
May God in His wisdom heal their bleed
ing hearts, and may the death of this es-
timable young man but serve as another
tie to bind them to heaven.
