BRAKE CHECKS HELP
MAKE STREETS SAFE
Inspections by Policie Are Excel
lent for Safety.

The vigorous manner in which po-
lice departments all over the country
are checking up automobile brakes Is
good evidence Of the important part
that brakes play in the nations safety.
In many large cities and in hundreds
OF smaller ones, motorists are being
stopped on the streets and put through
driving tests. If the test develops that
the brakes do not grip evenly or quick
IT, the officer orders the driver to have
them adjusted If they function salts
faetorily, the driver is given wind
shield sticker certifying to the good
condition of his brakes and thus saw
ing him the annoyance Of another halt
and another inspection.
"rhese inspections are an excellent
thing" said an automobile expert,
"and should be made regularly and
universally. The average man hates
to drive with poor brakes, but the
average man is also very busy. How
ever, the man who stops to consider
what faulty brakes might result in,
will realize that the necessary few
minutes in the service station are we'll
spent. Good brakes protect lives. And
1t Is certainly the duty of every mo-
torist to make driving as safe as pos
sible"

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..

Fioht Enoine Resistance.

Builders of the 'bat-wing" airplane
designed the craft to overcome the re-
sistance of struts, wires and fuselage
that in the usual type of machine con-
sumo almost three-quarters Of the en-
gine power, says the Washington Star.
The improved design is a great double
chambered aerofoil that terminates at
right and left in the conventional aile-
rons and that tapers in the rear to a
tail that has the usual elevator and
rudder. The aerofol measures 100 feet
from tip to tip and swells in the front
to IL thickness of seven feet. In that

feet wide and six feet in height. This
plane is an internally trussed canti-

veneer so tough that the wing surfaces

Suicide Bureau,

To prevent suicide the Save-a-Life
league was founded seven years ago in
New York. 1t has proved that people
tempted to end their lives will first
come and talk it over" and that in
most cases they can be saved. 1t be-
lieves that with proper equipment 1t
could save thousands every year. The
Salvation Army founded suicide
branch in London, England, 10 years
ago, inviting would-be suicides to come
and consult its officials first. One
third of last years suicides in the
United States were women and girls.
The oldest suicide was centenarian
great-great-grandmo and the
youngest child of five years. In New
York City alone 800 persons ended
their lives last year

Toot, Listen, Toot Again.

1t is advisable before passing
an intersection Of streets, says
Motor Life, to signal, listen for
a reply and then signal again.
Some such plan - whichever
seems feasible TO the particular
driver-should be instrumental
in lessening the number of acci-
dents that are the direct result
Of wrong horning.
The driver, technically known
as the road hog" is less likely
to be the victim of crossing
accident of this sort because the
other fellow is bound to hear
him coming. But the excessive
horner is general nuisance
everywhere. He annoys the pa
irons of the theater, the church
congregation, the patients in the
hospital and a thousand and one
persons who are perfectly well
aware that he has a horn. They
want him to use it; not abuse 1t
at their discomfort. He could
be just as safe at crossings
and could hog the right of way
just as successfully-by trying
the "short toot, listen and toot
again" method.
