Unintentional Suicide
Many people are slowly poisoning
themselves just as surely as if they
drank iodine every morning for break
fast. 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. Get a bottle today from

Of the total 1928 highway in
come of $1,566,946,170, 20 per cent
was derived from motor vehicle
fees, 18 per cent from gasoline
taxes, five per cent from Federal
Aid, 17 per cent from bonds, 27
per cent from general taxes, and
13 per cent from miscellaneous
funds. General taxes fall two per
cent short of covering the cost of
maintenance alone.
In the table cn total mileage and

closed that of the 3,016,281 miles
of rural roads in the United States,
69 per cent is under the supervis

ficials.
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.
A chapter on Federal Aid opera
tions, falls second in the booklet,
while separate chapters are allot
ted to the state highway systems,
and to county and local activities.

An Altruist
Desk Sergeant—If the car wasn’t
worth anything, why are you so anx

The Victim—Because I feel that
anybody crazy enough to steal that
old pile of junk is too dangerous to
be running loose.
Radio Activities
Caller—I see you have two wireless
sets. Your husband must be very en
thusiastic.
Hostess—Yes, it’s his enthusiasm
that is the trouble. We’ve been forced
to have two sets—one for the family to
listen in on, so that he may have the
other to tinker with.
Running True to Form
Debs—He’s got a wonderful collec
