BY The Associated Press. ...
Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 15.--The states
investigation into Tulsa floggings got
into full swing today while the city

charge of all legal steps in the cam
paign instituted by Governor Walton

ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR

There is hardly neighborhood in
the United States where women can
not be found who have derived benefit
from Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For nearly fifty years this
botanic medicine has been overcoming
some of the worst forms of female ills.
AS one woman has been benefited by
its use she has told others who have
used it with the same good results; so
the use of this great medicine has
spread from shore to shore by the
commentator of those who have
found it good. Therefore, ask your
neighbor, let her tell you from ex-
perience the benefit which ailin8
women derive from it's use.

mated that the waste in little
things on the railroad with which
he was connected amounted to ST.
100000 annually. This did not in
clude any outstanding instances
of efficiency.
Some Of the annual items Of
needless waste pointed out by him
were as follows: coal, $1,000, 900;
supplies, $500, 900; stationery, $780,
600; crossties, 100000; locomotive
repairs, 100000.
Analysis of his statement re-
veals that about 7 per cent Of his
company's operating expenses last
year represented waste due to lack
of thrift by employees. Inasmuch
as the system with which he is con-
nected represents about 8 per cent
of the gross railway mileage of the
United States, and as conditions
on the road referred to we're prob
ably a fair average Of conditions
on all lines, it is safe to set down
the sum OF SZ3u,UU0,0OO year as
the direct result Of lack Of thrift
by employees.
! One Of the great economic prob
lens Of the present day pertains to
transportation. In the item of
needless expense referred to here
with, the cure can only come
through the education Of the en-
Iployees. No efficiency system can
safeguard against such waste.
The business men Of America
should learn that very small per-
'centage Of the amount Of money
wasted by thriftless employees
would, if spent in correct thrift
education, bring amazingly bene-

Then You Have Something to Learn
Thousands who have piles have not
learned that quick and permanent
relief can only be accomplished with
internal medicine. Neither cutting nor
any amount of treatment with ONT

the cause. -
Bad circulation causes piles. There
is a complete stagnation of blood in
the lower bowel and a weakening of
the parts. DR.. ]. S. Leonhardt was
first to find the remedy. His prescrip-

Any breaking out of the skin on

The pimples seem to dry right up and

Nothing has ever been found to
