Every ruptured man. woman and

opportunity.
The Rice Method for Rupture is
known the world over. You can now
see this Method demonstrated and
have a Rice Appliance fitted to you.
Absolutely no charge unless you are
satisfied to keep the Outfit after hav-

degree of pressure required.
Don't wear a truss all your life
when thousands have reported cures

What has become of the tourist
park project? Why is it SO hard to
get anything like this done in New
Ulm? What real, honest-to-goodness
objection is there to trying out Ger
man park or any other of the suggested
locations? Anything would be better
than nothing!
The possession of an automobile
shown to have been recently stolen is
usually sufficient to convict the per-
son having it of it's theft, the state
state supreme court held recently in
affirming the sentence of Paul Gatal,
Wabasha, for stealing an automobile.
The decision was hailed by Assistant
Attorney General J. A. Markham as a
'salutary one" which would aid in
catching automobile thieves.

ROAD TRAFFIC
SHOWS INCREASE
Trunk Highways Are Carrying Aver
age Of 10 Vehicles a Day as
Against SOS Last Year.
HIGHEST RECORD IS 5,627
Babcock Makes Public 1922 Traffic
Census Figures With Inter-
esting Comparisons.
HIGHEST RECORD IS 5,627

Travel on the trunk highways, the
state roads marked with official num-
bers on the yellow stars, is one-fourth
heavier than last year, according to
the annual trunk route traffic census
figures announced today by Charles
M. Babcock, state highway commits
sioner. Increases are shown in all
kinds Of motor vehicle traffic, but
horse-drawn wagons and buggies
dropped again. Special advances were
recorded in the lighter, medium
priced automobiles and in commercial
transport busses and trucks using the
highways.
Traffic on the trunk route system
averages 71O vehicles a day, against
less than 565 last year. It runs from
5,627 at one of the stations of largest
count, near the twin cities, to 38 at a
point on the north boundary of the
state. The big increase is held due
to the improved roads and the larger
numbers of automobiles owned in the
state and bigger numbers of tourists
from other states.
