WOMAN ARRESTED

NILOIN CITY
POLICE SEEM POWERLESS TO
STOP THIS DANGEROUS PAS.
TIME, NOTWITHSTANDING THE
MANY WARNINGS.

"lf there was ever a city that needed
several more policemen, and especially
motorcycle cops, it is Ardmore," said
business man this morning. The
practice Of letting drivers of autos run
wild has become a habit with nine out
of ten owners, and unless the city Of
iicials do something to curb this prac.
dce people are going to De murdered,
and consider that a person killed

and nothing less.
North Washington street is a favor
ite place for these people, but it is not
equal to McLish avenue, the street
leading out Of town to the oil fields
Let them put a traffic man, or better,
two traffic men on both of these
streets and the city could collect
enough in fines in ten days to main
tain the department for six months.
As it is, it is positively dangerous for
a person to be on the sidewalk near
a corner especially when the streets
are wet, as a skiddng machine is a
dangerous proposition in itself. and
there is no telling where it will land
when once it starts.
81 have read repeated threats in The
Ardmoreile as TO what the city Of
hcials were going to do, but so far
they seem TO have forgotten all about
it, Another thing that ! would be in
favor Of was when one of these we're
arrested, and a hundred can be every
day, that the fine be made so heavy
that they would watch their step in
the future, not only assess the fine but
collect it right then or place the iov
riders with other arrests back in iaiI
until they could make the necessary
arrangements for their release. In
this manner, speeding would come to
sudden halt. Unless this is done.
serious results may be looked for"
The speed bug has got to several
drivers of the city and the advice
given above might not be so bad. after
all. Mayor Lasher states that he has
given repeated instructions to go after
the speeders, but so far has achieved
very little.

FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER


Pain in Stomach, Back or Joints.
BY Samuel Hamilton, NJ. d.
In recent years investigation by
means of Nrays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner
Pav.ov Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water is necessary IN
good bodily housekeeping. To drink
a pint OF hot water before meals is
good practice, and those SUFFERING
from catarrhal condition of the stom.
.ach will find benefit in adding about 10
grains (onesiXth of level teaspoon.
iuD of baking soda, drinking it an
hour before each meal.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals
Anuric (double strength can be found
at any good drug store, and was first
discovered by Dr. Pierce, Of the Sur.
gical Institute in Buffalo, y. Y.
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about a stagnant condi.
ton in the circulation most everyone
Is filled with uric acid especially Is
this so Of people past middle age. This
uric acid in the blood often causes
rheumatism, umbago, swelling of
hands or feet or a bag.like condition
under the eyes. Backache. freouent
urination or the pains and stiffness of
the joints and high blood pressure are
also often noticed. Everyone should
drink plenty Of pure water and eyer
else In the open air as much as DOS.
sible. have found that Anuric is an
an'Idote for this uric acid poison and
that 1t will dissolve the accumulation
of uric acid in the body much as hot
water dissolycs sugar.
