 For years have suffered terribly with stomach trouble. I could find no relief Then, like a blessing from above, Isheard of your remedy; sent Tor 1t, and after few treatments am being cured. am going to tell all my friends of your miraculous rem edy."
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per. manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating. pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart.

A PRoPERs MOVE.

l IL is highly commendable action (which is being taken by the. authorities sof a number of cities throughout the state in thes enforcdngl- ofz the laws whichi have. .a3eenspassed2 forR e®u- lation of the automobiles. The law recently passed for the protection of sthe trolley carfpatronss getss only that general respect which .ts- ts-insisted%upon by the authorities. The disposition
 of great many4drivers issto overlook the requirement. and, forcesthe party who is getting on sorf off aScar to as- Sume all the responsibility. This is the situation which made theelaw ad- svisable and unless itSis livedtup<to it amounts to nothing. It might as well not take up room on the statute books.
 Just so long as disrespect for the Jaw, and 1t applies insaike measure to all laws, Is tolerated, it is. simply of fering encouragement to others, who would obey the law if there was any general disposition to do so. to dis regard its provisions. It is the force of bad exampleswhich makes strong impression and in those cities about the state where there is an active en-
 forcement of the law this can be
 quickly broken up. It.is the fact that the law is enforced in one place and
 not in another which makes: the1auto driver think he4 is being persecuted
 when he is required to respect the law.
 Winking at the law'never accomplish es anything. The more 1t is done the more it is expected. The city which looks after such regulations and insists upon obedience gets not only the best results. but the most respect.
