HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. TO-
More lives were lost in the United
states during the last year and a
nalf as a result Of automobile &C
cidents than in the A. E. F. during
a year and a half Of the World war,
. survey by statisticians Of the
Travellers Insurance Company here
shows.
During eighteen months Of the
World war $3.50 members Of the
a. E. F. were killed in action or died
Of wounds. During the last eighteen
months $4,000 persons we're killed in
automobile accidents in this
country.
The 1890 total of deaths from
automobile accidents was $4,000, the
statisticians determined from re-
ports of forty states. This rep
fesents an increase Of more than
1900 over the 1929 total, although
gasoline consumption dropped more
than one billion gallons in 1880, with
consequent reduction OF mileage
travelled by automobiles.
Men we're behind the wheel in
SO out of every 100 cars in accidents
causing deaths and non-fatal in
luries in 1890, with women being
the drivers in the remaining seven,
the records show. Whether the bet
ter record of women drivers as to
fatalities is due to better driving, or
not being behind the wheel for as
many miles as men on the average,
Is not Indicated
In over half the fatal accidents,
the drivers we're between the ages
Of Is and 81. In nearly third more,
the drivers were between 10 and
"a years.
One-half the automobile fatalities

Hernorrhoid
Sufferers
End Your Piles without SaIveS OF
Cutting.

External treatments can not per-
manently end Piles. Nor do they re-
move the cause.
The cause is internal---bad circula-
zion of the blood in the lower bowel.
The veins are flabby-the bowel walls
weak-the parts almost dead. To quick
~ and safely rid yourself of piles all
internal medicine must be used to heal
and strengthen the affected parts.
DR.. J. S. Leonhardt, a specialist, after
years of study discovered a real in
ternal Pile remedy. He named his pre-
scription HEM ROID, and presented 1t
for 1000 patients, with the marvellous
record of success in 960 cases, and then
decided every Pile sufferer should be
able to get HEM ROID from their own
druggist.
Don't waste time on external rem
edies or think Of the pain and expense
OF an operation until you have tried
HEM ROID. Hook Drug Stores will
supply you and guarantee money back
II 1t does not end all Pile misery.-Ad-
