MUST GET NEW PLATES

This practice of taking motor
vehicle license plates off second
hand cars and fastening them onto
the new automobiles of favored
customers is getting on the nerves
of License Director c. R. Maybury
and Highway Patrol Commander
VIM. Cole who have decreed it
must stop. So highway patrolmen
are visiting the auto junk piles
and the second hand rendezvous
of old motor cars and commander
ing the license plates. The new
owner, if one appears for the old
car, will have to buy new plates.

But his health and his avoirdupois
would both be improved if he would
eat fruit. With the exception of
grapes, figs. raisins, dates and
bananas, fruit is not fattening and
the stout man can eat all the others
as often as he likes.
Moderate eating and normal &C.
tivity are good for every one. But a
fat man cannot stoke four days with
extremely fattening foods and by
spasmodic dieting" or cutting the
ration three days reduce weight.
A person who scrimps on fruit
and vegetables is following a hard
road. They furnish bulk to satisfy
the appetite. They supply mineral
salts and vitamins absolutely neces-
sary to every ones diet. They are
alkaline in reaction and neutralize
food acids. They contain fiber, which
is laxative. And the ma jority of
fruits and vegetables are not fat
tening.
Out of a group of five men at a
bridge party three told how they
"dieted" to bring their weight down
to normal. Each announced how
much better he felt. How much
younger they looked was evident.
Harmful methods of reducing can
not be too strenuously denounced.

an unusual number of requests for 1t.
l shall give it today in the form
like it best, which is as stimulant
for the scalp to make the hair thicker

is a general antiseptic. the castor oil
is also good for dandruff and keeps
the tonic from being too drying; the

to make these combine effectively.
II the color of your hair is quite
satisfactory you can have this made

be cheaper and quite as good as

tendency toward premature gray
ness, or If the color of your hair has
gone off, or If you are 80 years old or
more, 7 would advise YOU to use this
tonic as it is. l know you will be
thoroughly pleased with the results

around will enhance the effect If you
wish to read next to the fireplace and
the ordinary light isn't strong enough,
a portable lamp will enable you to en-
joy the pleasure of your book by the
warmth of the fire.
The economy of portable lamps lies
in the fact that one lamp can per-
form the functions of many. 1t can
be moved about as necessity demands,
and instead of having several lamps in
occasional use. YOU have one lamp in
constant use. The same is true of
lighting fixtures which are movable
