URGES MOTORISTS

Following the example of the Long
Island railway officials, who have is
sued a request that motorists use a

the usual crossing hazards. Capt
Harry M. Horton, local Duesenberg
Straight Eight dealer, advocates vol
untary use of safer streets and cross
ings both by motor car drivers and
pedestrians.
There is a wide difference in the
degree of hazard between various
streets, intersections and railroad
crossings" says Capt. Horton, land

for the motorist or the pedestrian to
use the safest choice offered to him.

Significant Facts.

Sixty per cent OF the total number
of visitors to the national parks, sea-
son of 1922, came in their own motor
cars-just another evidence of the
value of the automobile in long-dis-
tance transportation.
In 1900 the annual consumption of
petroleum per head was thirty-flve
gallons. Now this figure just about
represents what each car owner
would like to see charged to his
monthly garage account.

DESERVES PLACE IN HISTORY
Canute, First Danish King Of Eng
land, One Of the Most Enlightened
Rulers of His Age.

The reign of Canute, the second
the first Danish king of England, IS
very important in the constitutional
history of Denmark, says the Detroit
News Canute issued the first nation
al coinage of Denmark and published
the first written code of Danish law
wherein the custom of private ven
geance was prohibited.
He raised the clergy in their corpo-
rate capacity TO a separate estate OF
the realm and instituted the Thinglith
or royal guard of 5000 men. The
members of this body were all of good
family and rich enough to equip them
selves at their own expense. From
them sprang the Danish order of no.
bility.
In England he compiled code of
laws which is still eXtant. In this
code he denounced those who kept
up the practice of pagan rites and
superstition, and forbade the sending
of Christian slaves out Of the country
for sale.
From the pope he obtained privileges
| for the English school established at
Rome and an abatement of the sums
demanded from his archbishops for
the pallium and from the various
princes. relief for all English and
Danish pilgrims and merchants from
ali illegal tolls and detentions which
they had endured on their route to
Rome.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF 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,
preparation 1 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.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and

New Chemical Element.

Two Danish scientists, DR.. G. Hevesy
and DIR. D. Coster, working at the city
of Copenhagen, have announced the
discovery Of a new chemical element
which they call "hafnium."
Hafnium was discovered by means on
its X-ray spectrum. 1t occupies, the
Danish scientists believe, one of the
six vacant places long known to exist
in the list of the chemical elements.
Strange to say, this latest recruit
among the chemical elements seems to
be quite common in the world. Doc

slderably larger than the number Of

GODS GREAT OUTDOORS

These spring days, don't you feel it, the call of Gods
great oQtdoorsY Answer the call women. Get out in the sun
SHINE. Let the fresh spring air percolate through your lungs
and brush the cobwebs of worry and fatigue from your mind
and body. There is no better spring tonic. It is a busy time
OF the year, the spring, with the house to clean and ones
wardrobe TO look over and replenish, but spare some time for
the outdoors. You need il, your body and your soul needs it.
In the spring all nature is budding, growing, blooming.
Get out in the open and imbibe the growing atmosphere.
Spend a day in Gods great outdoors and see if your petty
thoughts are not suppianted by bigger ones. Are you a bit
weary, discouraged and depressed? A day with nature can
do SO much to change ones perspective and push back ones
horizon line. Did you ever watch the sea as it rolls and roars
and beats untiringly and increasingly on the shore and not
feel your own insigniicance? Did you ever gaze on the stars
and not feel how infnitesimal you are? Is not that true Of all
nature, particularly in the spring time. The cares, troubles
and sorrows of life assume smaller proportions against the
background of the great outdoors.
Don't say you haven't time for it. Make time. To keep
your spirits cheerful, to keep your thoughts big, TO keep your
outlook broad-what better use can you make of time than
that.
