LINE STRADDLERS
MAY GET ARRESTED

The line marked down the center
of paved highways is considered one
of the most definite safety features Of
modern highways, and motorists in
Minnesota who fail to keep to the
right of it in accordance with the
uniform traffic law are likely to get
tickets from highway patrol officers
which will require their appearance
in court, instead of the warning that
has been customary to the present, a
recent highway bulletin reports.
Motorists who make a practice Of
straddling the center line invariably
swing in, after having turned out to
meet other vehicles, without looking
to the rear and without giving a
signal, highway patrolmen report.
This results in many side-swiping &C
cidents through cars that have been
behind them moving up to pass just
as the line-straddler moves to the
center of the roadway again.
A car approaching an intersection
and travelling in the center of the
road causes opposing motorists to ex-
pect a left turn to be made, and the
turning to the right by the middle-of-
the-roader, instead of to the left, fire.
quently furnishes the settings for a
head-on collision, the bulletin reports.
Records are made at the highway
department headquarters of warnings
given to motorists for this and similar
kind of traffic law infractions, &C
cording to Captain Geo. Kuch of the
state highway patrol, and if it is dis
closed that these warnings are dis
regarded and the practice continued,
more drastic measures will be ap-
piled. Keep to the right side of the
line regardless of whether other We
hicles are in sight. or not, and you
will be safer from possible injury and
safe from arrest" Captain Kuch re-
ports.

Reduced 80 Pounds
Never Felt Better
Safe Way to Lose Fat

Take the case of Miss Madeleine
Crowley, for instance, who lives in
Little Rock, Ark. Just read her
letter:
81 have used Kruschen Salts for
one year-when / started 1 weighed
40 p0unds-nOw / weigh ITO pounds
and never felt better I'm my life."
That's the big reason a host of
men and women take Kruschen to
lose weight-as the fat goes you
gain in health-skin clears-eyes
grow bright-activity replaces indol-
ence.
Take one-half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in a glass of hot water
every morning before breakfast-cut
down on fatty meats, potatoes and
sweets-a jar Of Kruschen that costs
but a trifle lasts weeks-get 1t at
any drugstore in the world-but for
your health's sake demand and get
Kruschen Salts.

An Investment

A dollar spent for road building is
mostly an investment in labor.
About eighty per cent of road build
ing funds goes into the pockets of
Workmen, either on the job or in in
dustries providing food, machinery
and supplies. 1t is estimated that
during 1881 an average of two mil
hon men were employed in road work,
Which meant living for some six mil
lion persons.
There has never been a better time
to build farm-to-market roads than
now, when the economic need for i'm
proved highways, especially in rural
and farming areas, grows more in
tense. Price for materials are at ex
tremely low level. Most important of
all is the crying demand for jobs and
more jobs for those who are out of
work.
Every time a new road is built. or
an old one improved in accord with
modern design, social and economic
progress is made. Fine weatherproof.
bituminous surfaced roads can be
built for five thousand dollars a mile
and less, giving men employment and
opening inaccessible areas for settle
ment.
