They are daily absorbing the toxins, or poisons, created by accumu lated waste matter in their constipated digestive systems. Sooner or later disease will conquer their weakened bodies. If you have dizzy spells, headaches, coated tongue, bad breath, insomnia, no appetite, bilious attacks or pains in the back and limbs, you are probably suffering from self poisoning caused by constipation. The surest and pleasantest relief for this condition is Herbine, the vegetable cathartic which acts in the natural way.

Average automobile receipts for highway improvement have in creased steadily from year to year, the booklet shows, despite or per haps because of the growing num ber of automobiles. In 1919, with a registration of 7.566,446 vehicles, the average receipts per car were $8.68. while ten years later, with a registration in excess of twenty- four million automotive vehicles, the average income per car was $25.63.
