That delivery work in the store win be more complicated. Rather the re- verse will be true.
 One delivery a day does mean the following;
 That no wagon or truck will go to the same house nor over the same route more than once day.
 That each vehicle may leave the store as many times day as need be, but each trip will be over a differ ent route.
 That there will be shorter average distance between stops, because all the goods that were delivered to a route on two or more trips will now be delivered at one.
 That the territory may therefore be re-divided into shorter routes. That even if the number of routes is increased and even if the vehicles make more trips, fewer vehicles and men will generally be required to handle the same volume of deliveries, because all duplication of work will be eliminated and density of stops will be greater.
 l That the total mileage will be less
 That gasoline, now in such great demand for war use, will thus be con- served. | That total depreciation on equip ment will Joe less than with more de- | liverieS g. day.
 That, for example, where Wagon A went three times a day over Route | A, Wagon B three times a day over Route B, and Wagon c three times a day over Route c, making nine trips in all, each route may be shortened, say a. third, so that one of the wagons can make all the deliveries on it in one trip a day, the trip taking up only half day. Route A, B and c may thus be re-divided into apprOxi- mately four new routes. Wagon A may make one trip over Route A and another trip over Route B. Wagon B may make one trip over Route c and one trip over Route D. Wagon c would be displaced entirely and it's driver not needed.

For Elderly People Excellent Laxative

As we pass the prime of life the various organs of the body have a tendency to weaken, especially the bowels. Regularity in this important function is so essential to good health that old folks should be very careful to avoid constipation. A congestion of stomach waste in the bowels occa- sfons dizziness, headache, drowsi- ness after eating, biIiousness, belching. bIOat, piles, etc., and should be corrected immediately; it is the direct cause of much se- r;ouS disease.
 Tho most effective remedy for constipation is a combination of simple laxative herbs with Pepsin sold in drug stores under the name ! of Dr. CaldweII's Syrup Pepsin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle, is mild in it's action, does not gripe or strain, and brings relief quickly in an easy natural manner. Get a bottle of it from your druggist and keep it in the house; it is the ideal family remedy. A trial bot 1 tie can be obtained free of charge by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell. 456 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

TOLD CANNOT LIVE,
 MAN HASTENS DEATH.

Despondent when physicians told him to notify his relatives of his serious condition. Fred Hoffenthal, a health seeker from New York, committed sui eide at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by shooting himself. The shot entered the brain. Hoffenthal was dead when J. II. Williams, a ncighbor, reached his cottage on East Jackson street, a few minutes later.
 Hoffenthal, who was 40 years of age, came to Arizona several months ago. His condition did not improve as he'an- ticipated, and for the last three weeks all hope for his recovery was aban- doned. Yesterday he was told that he could not live and should get in com munication with his people. He brooded over the near approach of death, say his friends who marvel that he had suf- ficent strength to raise the gun and fire the shot that ended his life.
 Immediately after discovering the body Williams notified the authorities, and Constable Haze Burch and a cor oner's jury inspected the scene of the tragedy and viewe the body. The in quest was held before Coroner Wheeler, the jury returning a verdict of gunshot wound self-inflicted. The jurors were M. A. Butts. Bob Hayes. Jack White, j. H. Nelson, William Bishop and Frank Stute.
 The body is being held at local un- dertakers pending word from eastern relatives.
