A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Straus)

We are indebted to Mr.. A. B. Barber,
of the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety, for some data
that gives hint as to the vast losses
sustained by the public through traf-
fic delays. He finds, for example,
that in downtown Boston delays in
traffic cost the community $24,5OO, 900
a year in addition to losses from ac-
cidents which approximate $2,O10,OOO
a year. Chicago's loss is approx
mately $22O,OOO,OOO year and New
York's tribute to the traffic problem
is more than $35O,0OO.OO0 a year or
approximately $1,OO0,OOO a day.
Mr.. Barber concludes that $4,000
100000 year is conservative esti-
mate of the nations bill for traffic
delays. This figure does not, of
course, include losses from accidents
which must run high into the millions
of dollars.
There is, however, another side to
the picture, for, as Mr.. Barber points
out, San Francisco found that its
new traffic code resulted in reduc-
lions of accidents ranging from 80 to
400 in the records of companies
operating so, 100 and 400 motor We
hicles. One street railway company
reported reduction of PATIO in
pedestrian accidents. A saving of
100000 a year in the cost of auto
mobile accidents is being made for
San Francisco motorists lbs Anpeles
reports an increase of 5000 in the
movement of street traffic after re-
vising it's regulations"
1t is generally agreed that the
traffic situation is one of our great
problems. Few of us have thought
of it, perhaps, in such definite terms
of dollars and cents, but the figures
here quoted give an idea of the heavy
financial drain which these conditions
are imposing on the public.
1t is a matter, therefore, not only
of public safety and convenience but
of public thrift that traffic problems
be taken up with vigorous attention
There is not an urban community in
the United States or Canada today
that is without serious traffic prob
lem.
Thrifty communities will make a
serious study of their traffic situa-
lions, for, in doing so, they will effect
tremendous saving of money and
prevent accidents that are costly to
life and limb.

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for At years, and be-
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless of how
much one tries to avoid it. OF next
Importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation, known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup PepSin, is a mild
vegetable compound. It can not
harm the most delicate system and
is not a habit forming preparation.
Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting,
and youngsters love it. 1t does not
grippe. Thousands of mothers have
written us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they we're good for
human beings to put into their
system. In a practice of A years
he never saw any reason for their
use when a medicine like Syrup
Pepsin will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more clearly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation! 1t
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day go by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go to a druggist
and get one of the generous bottles
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take
the proper dose that night and by
morning you will feel like different

person. Use Syrup Pepsin for your
self and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and
crampy stomach, bad breath, no APP
petite, headaches, and to break up
feVers and colds. Always have a
bottle in the house, and observe
these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the
bowels open.
We would be glad to have you
prove at our expense how much Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin can mean
to you and yours. Just write Syrup
