William Hodges play, "The Road

the Grand opera house Saturday,
March Ia, direct from run Of TWEEN
ty-two weeks in Chicago, reveals one
of its chief charms in the epigram-
matte lines and speeches which are
typical of the character and phil
osophy with which Mr.. Hodge has
become inseparably identified In his
career on the stage. A few of these
pungent lines and remarks follow:
You know our postmaster carried

what you don't know won't worry
you.
You can't fight trouble with tears.
Tears help trouble just the way water

They're talkin', are they? Let EN-
talk! They've got to talk about
something.
Let's take it easy, now. If we start
SLOW we won't be so tired when we
get where we're goin'.
What difference does it make who

body's happy?

 Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct Constipation Before It
 Becomes Chronic

Very few people go through life with out some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong ca- thartics, salts, mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, 1t is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become
 A physic or purgative is seldom nec- essary. and much better and more per manent results can be obtained by us- ing a scientific remedy like Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsn. It does not hide behind high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be. a mild laxative medicine It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny in- fants. and yet it Is so compounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by person suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest indorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suf- fered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pep sin.
 It is a fact that millions of families have pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin con stantly in the house, homes like those Pa. He says he has had wonderful results from the use of pr. Caldwells s Syrup Pepsin, that. in fact. he has never found a remedy good, and he is glad to recommend 1t. The special val

ue of this grand laxative tonic is that it is suited to the needs of every mem Der of the family. It is pleasant-t -tast- ing mild and n-griping. Unlike harsh physics. it works gradually and In very brief time the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to do their work naturally again. when all medi- cines can be dispensed with.
 You can obtain a bottle at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. The latter size is usually bought by fam flies who already know it's value. Re- suits are always guaranteed or money will be refunded.
 Families wishing to try free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by ad- dressing Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 419 Wash ington St, Monticello, III. A postal card with your name and address on 1t will do.

 the entire Goodyear proposition to deal CTS is handled from every concernable, helpful angle. In the preface appears ! this interesting comment on the tire situations:
 There are, to date. over a million cars running in the United States, each on the average, must have new tires at least once per season. "Figure the average tire at S25. That's $100 per car per year for tires
 Multiply 100000 by 100 and you have the number of dollars invested in tires

The visitor is stunned. He fails to grasp all that he would of ths real significance of the industrial miracle. For compari- sons he gropes around and stumbles on chickens hatching by the wholesale in glass incubator.
 Heretofore the final assembling of Ford cars was matter of showing a sec tion of a rartially completed car onto a group of men, who put in another part and shovel the car on to the next group. Cars were thus kept moving along in four long rows. The same system now prevails. the assembling being done in four rows each 900 feet long, hut one of the four rows has the advantage of a new arrangement in the way of a con veyor With the aid Of the conveyor

 At the beginning of the assembling line is heap of rear axles. These are showed along from group to group, un- til the skeleton of a chassis with wheels is evolved. Then the conveyor is reached. This consists merely of two endless rows of revolving steel wheels. set in grooves on which the car rests. Each car is coupled to the one in front, and a power device with coupling attachment and starting lever shoves the row of coupled skeletons up the line Every few feet stands a group of workmen, under their own foreman. whose duty it is to do one simple operation in assembling.
 One group fastens on the gasoline tank another drops in the complete en- zine; another fastens the steering ap- paratus in place; another puts on a cer- tain bolt, etc. The long line of skeleton

Some Amusing Bits of Advice Offered to Housewives of the

Housewives of the thirties in the last century had to face the problem of high cost of living too. From a record of 1881 the following bits of advice have been gathered. The advice was practical enough at the time, but some of it seems amusing now. says the Washington Post.

WORTHLESS OSAGE ORANGE
Introduction of Weed Proved Boom

Many instances are on record in which men have unwittingly introduced serious pests-the gypsy moth in Massachusetts, the jack rabbit in Australia, the hawk weed in Canada and the English sparrow all over the map, says the Country Gentleman. But the most notable ex- ample of a perverse weed persistenlY propogated and widely planted with un- told labor and expense is the Osage orange hedge of the Mississippi valley states, Today hundreds of thousands of miles of this worse- than worthless weed line the roadways from Ohio to central Kansas.
 It is rather pretty as a feature of a flat landscape laid out in cheekerboard plan along straight section lines but the men who planted it were not landscape gardeners and never had glimmering idea of investing their time and labor in osage orange hedges for the beautifica-
