A reader asks us to caution people
on the highways against the danger
Of turning in the wrong direction
when meeting or being passed by an
automobile approaching from thel
rear. Many drivers of teams turn the
wrong way when car approaches
from the rear. Drivers of teams
should bear in mind that the new
law requires them to turn to the
right at all times, whether meeting
a car or team, or whether giving a
norton of the road to a car which
has overtaken you and desires to
pass. When car wishes to pass q
team overtaken in the road, the driv-
er Of the team should turn to the
right and give one-half the road,
while the driver Of the car in this
instance turns to the left. Bear these
rules in mind and accidents may be
ayerted. The cold truth is that mo-
florists obey the rules Of the road
better than drivers of teams. It is
no unusual thing for car to turn
a corner in Abilene and find a team
numbering along close to the left
hand side of its road. If drivers OF
teams would obey the rules as well
as motorists there would be fewer
accidents. The city marshal should
make an example of few jay driv-
ers, whether Of cars or teams. 1t
would have a good effect.

Many Cures Reported Daily in Towns
Where It is Known.

The wonderful cures that are being
made by this remarkable new rem
Fedy are almost beyond belief. a
young lady from ottawa, Ia, for
many years suffered from a bad case
of eczema. Her face was a sight to
behold; all covered with red
blotches, pustules and pfmples. SO
unsightly was her appearance she
gave up all social life. Failing to
find relief with doctors and remedies.
she became respondent and discour-
aged. After few weeks treatment
with Amolox the scaly redness dis
appeared, postules healed and she
was entirely cured. A few months
following her mother wrote that
Amolox had done wonders for her
daughter, and she was married last
week. Seems like fairy tale,
doesn't it? Yet this is the truth:
This is only one of the many cases
that are being reported in towns
where Amolox has been introduced
and the merits have become known.

METHODS
OF Making tuberculosis SAM

Discussed.

NEW YORK. Sept. Methods by
which tuberculosis sanatoria may be
made more eff1cient through the em-
ployment of their graduates" are
discussed in a series of papers issued
today by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tnber-
culosis in Its official organ. the Jour
The papers by DR.. Charles F..
Bodduan, of the New York City
Health Department, DIR. Sidney F.
Goldsmith, Of the Free Synagogue,
New York, and DR.. David r. Lyman
of the Gaylord Farm Sanatorium OF
Wallingford, Conn, show that many
Tuberculosis sanatoria waste their eff
forts because they do not care for
their patients properly after dis
one sanatorium in New York. 81 per
cent of the work done was literally
wasted. DR.. Bolduan's and Lyman's
results showed some waste, but not
nearly so large q per centage. The
reason for these relapses is found
both in the unsanitary home condi-
tions to which the patient returnS
and also in the industrial conditions
under which he is forced to work.
DR.. Lyman says that the greatest
present need In sanatorium treatment
Is early diagnosis. and that such ear.
" cases can usually return with
safety and success to their former
occupations after discharge from the
Esanatoriun. For certain groups Of
city patients, DR.. Bolduan and DR..
Godstein favor working places where
they canS work at their trades under
medical supervision and sanitary con-
ditions.
Experiments of this character are
now being considered in several
cities. In Philadelphia the Henry
