PINKLETS
The Laxative That Really Does Cor
rect Constipat

Constipation means that poisonous
materials which should have been ex-
PEELED from the body are being re-
tanned. At first there may be only
feeling of fulIness and discomfort but
soon the appetite fails, the digestion
becomes disordered, the tongue coated,
the breath offensive and there is bad
taste in the mouth.
The first step in correcting constipa-
ton is to stop the use of strong purga-
tives. Substitute for them the mild,
nom gripping but effective laxative
pills, Pinklets. Strong, harsh purga-
tives are of little value in the treat
ment of constipation because they
wear out the muscular activity of the
bowels and finally lessen their sensi-
bility to even the strongest stimula-
ton. The continued use of purgatives
brings on chronic constipation
instead of correcting it. With Pink
lets YOU need have no such fear. They
assist the bowels and liver just enough
to get them in proper working order
Any druggist can supply you with
Pinklets at % cents per bottle. Write
today to the DIR. Williams Medicine Co,
n. Y, for copy of the
Pinklet book which tells all about the
treatment of constipation.-Adv.

To The Chauffeur

Before you climb in behind your
wheel each morning, Mr.. Chauffeur,
wish you would learn little lesson
by heart. 1t is this:
"lf person on foot is injured by
my machine, am to blame.
Do you get it?
Under no conceivable circum-
stances are you to run into, bump
against, push or jostle man. wom-
an or child who is afoot.
What's that? They out to be care
full? Forget it! 1t is you who are
to be careful. 1t is you who are in
control of big, man killing piece of
machinery on the public highway.
And the responsibility is all yours.
They ought to use common sense,
you say? They ought to take ordi-
nary precaution and look where
they're going?
Get all that line of excuses clean
out of your mind. You have no
business to presume upon any eau
ton, common-sense or even intelli-
gence on the part of people afoot.
The reason is that they are not
handling a machine and you are.
They may be thiaking of nothing, alb
sent-minded. Their wits may be a
mile away. And they have perfect
right to moon along the street if they
choose. 1t is your business not to
hit them.
1t is up to you to be so careful that
child cannot run under your wheels
on purpose.
You should have such control OF
your engine that no one can force an
accident upon you of that kind.
You ought to be able to run your
car through street full of blind,
deaf and dumb, and drunk men.
Remember, when you have crushed
playing child to death it will be nc
excuse for your own conscience to
say, "He deliberately ran right under
my car" You have no right to al.
low a child to run under your car.
When you see children playing, &C
slow. Creep along. Stop.
When you see a nurveous woman
hesitating and giving sighns that shs
does not know whether to 60 forward
or back, stop! Give her all thu
time in the world.
When you approach pedestrian
from behind, blow your horn while
yet long way off; don't wait unit
you get close and then frighten them
In a nutshell, remember that
person on foot has the right OF wa
always and everywhere.
And remember that no excuse goe
for running down child, a woman

A Hundred Years AGO

thousand years that have gone before.
To get some idea of the wonderful
changes that have taken place, let us
go back to 1914 and note how many,
many things our great-grand-parents
did not have which we have today.
1t will not only astonish US, but it will
also make us realize how much we
have to be thankful for.
There were no canned goods of any
kind. There were no tin cans, nei-
ther were there any cars to bring fresh
ir1its and vegetables-like strawber-
ries and tomatoes and lettuce-from
the south and from California. In
fact. there were no such places in the
United States as Florida and Texas
and California. They were all of
them waste places or foreign lands.
They belonged to England and Spain
aud France and Mexico. Oranges,
bananas, pineapples, grapefruit, olives,
Malaga grapes and other tropical
fruits which are so familiar to all of
us. were never seen in the markets of
1910. BOYS and girls of that day
only heard about them from travellers
or read of them in books.
Dinners were cooked in fire places.
There were no ranges. There
were no gas stoves; no oil stoves; no
coal stoves; no cook stoves OF and
kind. Housewives had no baking
powders, no yeast cakes, no sclt-rais-
ing flour, no granulated sugar, no
flavoring CoaCoa, no potted meats. no
catsup, no prepared breakfast foods.
no soda crackers, no macaroni. All
the coffee had to be roasted and
ground at home. Housekeepers
then had very few OF the COnvenienCes
that they have today. They had no
running water in the house nor sta
uonary wash tubs nor clothes wiring
ers no washing machines nor wire
clothes lines. Neither had they re-
frlgerators nor ice cream freczers nor
. egg beaters waffle irons nor meat
grinders nor carpet sWeepers nor
ammonia nor borax nor gasoline nor
moth ball nor fly paper, nor fly
screens. And they had no matches,
no electric lights, and no kerosene
There were no sewing machines in
. 1914. All clothes were made by
, hand. There were no ready-made
things of any kind not even shoes nor
6 hats. Nearly every family spun ITS
own wool and flax and made its own
thread and yarn and cloth. The
clothes for the boys and girls and the
q men women were made at home
So, also, were the carpets, the cand.
q les, the soap, the mattresses and the
- chairs and tables. Thcre were nc
furniture factories, no ready made
desks nor book cases nor bed ads
! nor any thing else. Such things as
were made at home were made tC
order by the shoemaker, the halter
the tailor or the cabinet maker
Clothing stores, shoe stores, hal
stores and furniture stores were un'
heard Of. In 1874 nobody wore
70 rubbers. That was because there
: were no rubbers. There were ne
st rubber goods of any klnd-overshoes
is waterproofs, rain-coats, rubber balls
:. pencil erasers, hot water bags no
r. anything OF that sort. There was NJ
ir garden hose nor fire hose. Their,
IS were no water mains nor fire engines
,e When house caught fire, men pu
ID it out, if they could, by throwing
pr buckets of water on the flames.
IN Fireplaces were the only means q
e. keeping house warm. There wer
re no furnaces, no coal stoves. Her
