SAVES MUCH TIME
BY USING AN AUTO
PHYSICIANS WITH BUZZ WAGONS
LOOK At FINANCIAL SIDE.
Investment In Automobiles over Bill.
lion and a Half Dollars In
This Country.

A notably conservative and accurate
metropolitan newspaper recently made
the editorial statement that the aver
age physician with a scattered prac-
tice saves time worth ten dollars each
day he uses his automobile.
The writer goes on to prove that
motorists having great financial inter
ests will show an average saving far
higher than the professional man. but.
Tor the sake of argument. credits an
average saving OF a dollar a day-in
time-to the million and half Amer
lean cars now In use. This means
that more than a half billion dollars
will thus be saved to Americans In
1914.
Astonishing figures. but who will
venture to dispute them? What car
owner will deny that his time Is worth
SO little that his car doesn't save a
dollars worth of IL a day, no matter
how little he rides?
In carrying this line OF thought 10
its logical conclusion. the writer
points out that on the estimated in.
vestment in American automobiles OF
a billion and a half dollars. a return
or 33h per cent. is shown. And he
asks. What other investment OF this
magnitude gives such a return"

HIGHWAY BONDS
Subject Thoroughly Discussed b,
Road Specialists Of Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

Road building specialists from the
Department of Agriculture. in a bulie-
tin entitled Highway Bonds" have
the following to say about the benefit
OF a well constructed highway to
property owners whose property is not
directly on the road to be improved
in planning the highway system or
the main market roads IL will be found
necessary to omit many roads, the i'm.
provement of which is greatly desired
by abutting land owners. The fact
that such property holders must pay
tax for the bond issue is only an an.
parent injustice. for II the highway
system is well planned the entire
country will feel the benefit of the i'm.
provement. AS a rule. the main mar.
ket roads reach the majority of pro-
ducing areas. and when they are i'm
proved all land values tend to in
crease"
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their limits is sometimes made a
point OF debate in bond elections. II
Is argued that because a large part of
the county wealth is within the cor.
porate limits of such cities and towns
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. IL is
even urged that the expenditure should
be made proportionate to the assessed
valuation within the city limits. II
the proceeds of the highway bond
issues were distributed IN this way
their purposes in many cases would
be defeated. The primary object of
the country highway bond issue is to
build county market roads. and not to
improve city streets. although a high
percentage of the assessed valuation
may be city property

sIf Were Sure This Meal Would Not
Injure Me Would Eat for An
Losing Weight Every Day.

In cases of dyspepsia, catarrh of the
stomach, gastritis, heartburn, rash. foul
breath. bowel complaint. stomach trouble,
&C., a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet taken
after each meal will do more good than
anything you have ever tried.
You simply cannot realize how these
little digesters put away a meal without
effort, pain. or distress. and at the same
time so build up the digestive apparatus
as to make the next meal more easily
taken care of.
To understand what Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are composed OF Is to realize that
when they reach the stomach they dis
solve into digestive juices just as desired
by nature. They hold the ingredients
which the healthy stomach is supplied
with and the unhealthy stomach lacks.
These natural qualities have a great
digestive influence upon all food. One
grain of one ingredient contained in Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets Is sufficient to
digest 1900 grains of food.
When you have given this a single
thought consideration you will then un-
derstand why II is that Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets are the greatest stomach and
dyspepsia remedy known today.
Thousands of stomach sufferers all over
this country, who have been relieved of
all kinds of digestive diseases are the in
fiuences which have made these tablets
sold by druggists in every city. town. and
village in this country.
