The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1917-02-15

The Independent comes out this
week reduced to 4 pages and will
continue as 4-page sheet until
conditions change. We have been
compelled to cut down expense in
some manner owing to the increas
ed cost of everything Many pa
pers have ceased publication for
this reason, and the publisher of
the independent has to do some-
thing to make ends meet. We
came to the conclusion that it is
more expedient to cut the size
down rather than raise the price
or 60 out Of business. We pay
twice as much for things for the
shop and home than former ly, but
our income remains the same; SO
it is very evident how we come
out financially. We hope our pa
irons will bear with us until con
ditims improve, when the Inde-
pendent will be restored to its for
mer shape.
So we have read the House Bill
No. 307 and came to the conclu-
sion that this bill really is a
bone dry" affair with even the
marrow taken out of the bone. It's
provisions did not overlook moth
ing. The duties Of public Officers
in enforcing its provisions are
very plainly outl ed; the drug
gists, physicians, express compa
MES, newspaper men, bankers and
all are informed what they must
do, so chat state after July lst is
as dry as the Sahara and then
some. And the fines imposed
for any violation remind one of
the Blue Laws. Why not go the
limit? In our opinion If this bill
is made law, we are treading on
dangerous grounds. 1t is SO ra
dical that if passed it will surely
be repealed ut the first opportuni,
lty, and the state will go wet il
-four years hence.

Says Simple Remedy
PROLONGED His Life
DR.. Cald,UeIrs Syrup Pepsin
Effective as a Remedy
for Constipation.

Among older people the various or
gans of the body have u tendency to
slow up and weaken, and this Is usual
ly first manifest in a pronounced mac
tivity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regu-
larity in this important function:
when ever there is the slightest indi-
cation of constipation a mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the conges-
ton and dispose of the accumulated
waste. Cathartics or purgatives should
not be employed. however: these are
TOO violent in action and their effect
is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combin-
alton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. CaldweIls Syrup
Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle In Its action. bringing relief in
an easy, natural manner, without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort, is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ
tanned in any drug store.
Mr.. Robert LeForgee, g1S Kirkwood
Boulevard, Davenport, Iowa, says he
has always had a bottle of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in the house for
the past eighteen years. and that by
using 1t occasionally as the need arises.

SIGNAL CHANGES
NOW CERTAINTY
Only Delay Will Be OH Account
of Material For Making
ColorS

| Signal changes which have been go
ing through an experimental stage on
! the Pennsylvania railroad will become
permanent this year. Lack of materials
has been responsible for the delay in
/ tenn.
Inquiries for the required material
were placed several months ago, but
none of the materials was received un-
| til recently and then only in small lots.
| 1t was said in Philadelphia Saturday,
however. that shipments now are eX-
pected to be received in such quantity
as to make possible the inauguration
of the changes in the near future.
Eliminate White Lights
Under the new plan white lights are
to be eliminated altogether as signal
indication. Green will replace white
for clear or proceed" while bright,
distinctive yellow. visible at great dis
tances, will be used for caution" Red
will continue to mean stop" A state
ment issued by the company in con-
nection with the changes says:
The elimination of white from the
signal color scheme has been rendered
desirable by the Increasing use of white
lights of various kinds in buildings and
on driveways. roads and streets close
or adjacent to the railroads right of
way.
The Pennsylvania railroad system,
however. was unwilling to proceed with
| the change until a yellow glass could
be obtained for the caption signals,
which would give bright light at n
! long distance and still would not be
/ liable to be mistaken for white, and so
confused with other lights along the
| line of the railroad. Progress in the art
of coloring glass, after years of expert
ments, has resulted in the production
| of such glass.
The adoption of the new signal sys-
tenn will mean the changing of hun
dreds of thousands of colored glasses
and lenses. This will require consider
able time for completion. especially as
slow deliveries are to be expected ow-
ing to Industrial conditions resulting
from the European war;
Many Changes
Not only will alterations have to be
made in all of the semaphore signals,
but the following devices also will be
affected: Marker lights on the rear of
passenger and freight trains, switch
lamps and targets. markers for track
tanks, Slow signs, resume speed signs
hand lamps at interlocking and block
signal stations and lights displayed to
the public at crossing gates. Lights for
the latter purpose will be red. instead
of green, as at present.
The proposed signal system has been
tried out on the extreme eastern end
of the New York division and has been
found to work satisfactory. 1t is also
being adopted in sections of the coun-
try off the Pennsylvania railroad lines
so that desirable uniformity will be OBJ
tanned.
No change is to be made on those
short portions of the Pennsylvania
railroad lines which are protected by
position light signals, in which the
various indications are given by rows
of electric lights showing against a
black background in the various posi-
tions of the semaphore arms"
