"Someone suggest# that the only

in mind that the other fellow
may he un idiot,' say# the Cow
Angeles Times.
This is sad hut true. Recklessness
u? 1st part of tho motoring
code with millions of American driv-j
ois. Ami the inevitable result is,
that, every year, 2f? or 30 thousand
persons are killed and hundreds of |
thousands injured in preventable au- j
toinobile accidents.
The traffic part of it is that tho
enormous annual waste of I'fc an I
propei ty is almost entirely unnecessary.
The unpreventable accident is
as rure as the dodrt bird. Someone
is incompetent or reckless in the
case of practically every collision,
If rent or small, between motor cars.
The blaru^ Way l>e laid in two
places. is the apparent indifferoiicuAof
many motorists to the
fundamentals of safety. Second is
the lack of strict licensing laws in j
most Sfates to keep the incompetent \
and recklessness off the roud, and an i
accompanyinff lack of enforc ement of j

Stalev, State Forester. Mr. Slaley I
* , '
I gave an interesting talk on the pres- 1
: ent conditions of our South Carolina j
forests and presented his plan of re- 1
foresting. He stated that our !um-!j
ber crop was our greatest crop but!
it is facing exhaustion in that we are
cutting out" forests six times, a*
as they are growing. He tcfld also
of the great importance of keeping
fires out of our growing woods both
front the standpoints of timber and
game production. According to Mr.
Staley, the State forest tree nursery
recently established in Camden has
growing therein about two and a
half million trees or approximately
ten thousand dollars worth of seedlings.
He intimated that he expected
this nursery to grow by leaps and
bounds in the next few years.

1 Doctor* Disagree
When children are irritable and
il peevish, grind their teeth and sleen
- restlessly, have digestive pains and
e disturbances, lack of appetite, and
i- have itching eyes, nose and fingers,
it doctors will Viot always agTee that
they are suffering from worms
>f Many mothers, too. will not believe
0 that their carefully brought up childa
ren can have worms. The fact rc?.
roams that these symptoms will yield
e in a great majority of cases, "to a
few doses of White's Cream Vermifugo,
the sure expellant of round
and pin worms. If your child hao
any of these symptoms, try this
