CORRECT TREATMENT

A man went to a quack doctor for
treatment. He had a sharp pain in
ternany, and remarked that it might
be caused by his habit of sucking the
point of lead pencil. The quack said
he was suffering from lead poisoning,
and gave him some pills which, he
said, would cure him.
Next day the man came back very
angry. "a friend of mine has exam
ined the pills you gave me, . he said,
"and they are only bread.
"Of course they are, was the bland
reply. Don't you know that bread is
the finest thing to remove lead pencil

1914, at Dayton, Kansas
His early youth belonged to the
period of the Civil war. Virginia was
storm center of that stirring time,
and the political troubles caused a
division of the state, the portion
where the Sterling family lived be-
coming the new state of West Vir-
ginia. The constant talk of war,
coming and going Of soldiers of
both the north and the south, the
absence of the father from home in
the service of the northern army,
and the consequent responsibility
that fell upon the boy left last
ing impression upon his life. After
the war the family moved to Ilh-
nois, and later in 1871 came to
Dickinson county and located on
the Homestead at Dayton. Here he
lived most Of his life. For several
years he was a school teacher in

RULES FOR RIGHT DRIVING
Use Sense and Observe Simple Rules
Of the Road

The rules OF the road, the rules
fixed by state law and city ordin-
ances and which apply to all classes
of vehicles, are very simple. All that
is required in right driving is the
exercise of Judgment. common
sense, a little thought and proper
consideration for the rights OF
others.
The state law, as does the city
ordinance. provides that all vehicles
shall keep to the right of the CEN
ter OF the road or street, meaning
the right hand side Of the center,
though this Of course is not to be
expected on country roads where
there is but one track. In turning
into another road or street to the
left the vehicle must pass the center
of the intersection of the roads or
streets before making the turn. In
turning into a road or street to the
right, simply keep to the right
making the short turn.
In stopping in front Of place OF
business or residence the vehicle
must stop with its right side to the
curb.
In other words, always keep the
vehicle on the right Of the road or
street and II an accident occurs you
will not be responsible or liable for
damages. .@Vf
The law requires that when the
driver Of a vehicle wishes to pass
one ahead moving at slower speed
he shall give warning and the driv-
er ahead shall turn to thesTight, al
lowing the driver behind to- pass on
the left. If the driver ahead does
not give the road he is liable to
fine.
Many vehicle drivers seem to
think that the law and ordinances
apply solely to automobiles and
other motor driven vehicles but
such is not the case. They apply to
all classes Of vehicles, horse drawn
or motor driven and the fact that
some One else violates them is mo-
excuse Tor your doing 1fhe same
thing.
Sanity in the matter of speed, the
exercise Of good horse sense on the
part of all drivers, a regard for the
rights of others under the law, and
careful observance Of the simplest
rule of the road will eventually do
away with jay driving. 80
