New Automobile Law.

The last legislature made
numerous changes in the auto.
mobile law in addition to doubl.
. ing the state license on every
. car. The provision of the new
; law are very drastic and should
) be enforced to the very letter by
the authorities. Some of the
provisions are as follows:
Every sale of a motor car, new
or second hand, must be reported
to the secretary of state that he
may have a complete record at
all times of the ownership of all
within the state.
Joy riding is made prison Of.
fense, a special provision being
enacted to cover the cases of
chauffeurs taking out cars with
out the consent of their owners.
Running away from the scene
after striking and injuring any
person with motor car is made
a felony.
All chauffeurs must obtain a
state license and must wear
badges to be supplied by the
state. Violation of the state
automobile laws will forfeit the
license. No license are to be is.
sued to persons un der Is years
of age.
Twenty. five miles an hour is
established as the lawful speed
for country roads, conviction and
fine being possible in cases
where the limit is exceeded for
more than half a mile. Drivers
must signal with horn or sirens
when approaching turns and
must take square turns on coun-
try roads as corners are now re.
quired to be taken in the con.
gested cities.
The cut.out nuisance is to be
abolished in the country as we'll
as in the cities. Having car in
such condition that the exhaust
can be opened is a violation of
the law, the actual otfense of
opening it not being necessary
to make one guilty.
All lights must be dimmed or
thrown through glazed glass and
must be detected downward so
that no part of the rays will be
more than "a inches above
ground.
Use of derigible searchlight is
prohibited in cities except to |
light the roadway ahead; then in
accordance with the regulations
of the headlights. Derigible
searchlights, however, may be
thrown in any direction on coun.
try roads, as long as they are
not used to blind other travellers
or horses.
Purchasers of motor cars are
given fifteen days to purchase
and obtain state licenses.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or callus so 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn.pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness 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 frcezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively 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.
