SAFETY ON THE ROADS.

The latest warning of the need
Of paying more attention to the
safety Of travellers on roads is given
in the new Good Roads Year Book
Of the American Highway Associa-
tion. Formerly, when roads were
used only by horse-drawn vehicles,
the deep side ditch and the high,
narrow embankment were not par
ticularly dangerous. Between the
driver and the horse there was
enough combined intelligence to
avoid accidents at such places. But
with the advent of the automobile
the conditions have changed. If a
car is forced off the hard roadway
onto soft shoulders, even the most
skillful driver will sometimes lost
control of it. If this occurs at the
places referred to, there is a very
real danger to the occupants of the
car. The records Of the Iowa State
Highway Commission for September,
October and November, 1916, show
that in that state alone 353 automo-
biles turned turtle, resulting in 5
deaths and 451 injuries. Just how
many of these accidents were due
to ditching the cars is not stated,
but this is generally regarded as the
usual cause Of overturning. Where
the bitches are deep or the road is
on an embankment with steep slopes,
substantial guard rails should be
provided, During September, Octo-
Der and November 1915; the Iowa
records show that 167 cars went
over embankments, killing z per-
sons and injuring 234. Such list
points more clearly than general ar
'guments to the great Importance Of
guard rails that will act as real

SKIDDING.

Skidding is no excuse for automo-
bile accidents. The utmost care is de-
manded on days when the streets are
wet and the wheels are apt to slide.
Then slow driving is demanded of
every autoist, and the greatest care
must be shown in watching the
ground and handling the machine.
Most cases Of skidding come from
neglecting to care what one IS doing.
Any man running on high speed on
a skidding day ought to be prompt
ly arrested and sent to prison. He
is far more to be blamed than a man
with pocketful of dynamite. The
most exact inquiry should be made
into every skidding accident so that
the impression should be strong that
the skidder always needs discipline
or worse.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up a Corn or Callus SO it
Lifts Of With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and wo-
men need suffer no longer. Wear
the shoes that nearly killed you be-
FORE. says this Concinnati authority,
because few drops of freezone ap-
piled directly on a tender, aching
corn or callus, stops soreness at once
and soon the corn or hardened callus
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone cost
very little at any drug store, but
will positively take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is Inexpensive and is said
not to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle
for you from his Wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
a charm every time.-Adv.
