THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1927 DEBILITY DUE TO INDIGESTION Perfect Digestion Comes Through Rich, Red Blood. There can be no perfect digestion unless you have rich, red blood. This is scientifically true. It is also true that there is no tonic for the stomach that is not a tonic for every other part of the body. The way, then, to tone up the stomach Is to tone up the The many so-called stomach remedies merely try to digest your food for you. How much better it is to tone up the stomach so that it will do its own work as nature intended. There is no pleasure in eating pre-digested food. Tone up your stomach and your appetite and digestion soon be normal. If your digestion is weak and your blood thin you need the help of Dr. 'Williams'. Pink Pills to enrich the blood and restore strength. In addition use care in the selection of your food and your stomach trouble will soon pass away. Mr. Gordon Dundas, Peterboro, Ont., tells as follows what ithis medicine did for him. . He says: I "Something over a year ago I was a 'gasoline salesman when I was taken sick. I felt miserable and lost twelve pounds in weight. I did not sleep well and could not eat as I could scarcely retain anything in my stomach. I went to a local doctor who told me the fumes of the gas had got into my system. He gave me some medicine and told me I had better go to the country for a change of air. I did bo, but I still felt listless and groggy, and had no ambition. ,. On the advice of a friend I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had not been taking the pills long before I was beginning to rest better, and to eat fairly iWell. I kept on taking the pills until at the end of the seventh box I knew I did not need any more, as I had gained the weight I had lost, slept well and could eat anything. I have since had splendid health arid cannot ^say too much in praise of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Province-Wide Campaign To Prevent Motor Accidents .Highway Safety Committee Takes Spectacular Steps to Make for Greater "Traffic Consciousness" -- Laws and Regulations to be Rigidly Enforced An interesting campaign has commenced in Ontario with the idea of lessening appreciably the number of motor car accidents. While a concentrated effort in accident prevention began on October -7 to last for a couple of weeks, the plan is to continue the work permanently in the hope that Ontario's streets and highways will be more safe for both motorists and pedestrians. A serious problem has arisen in Ontario because of the sudden increase in the number of motor vehicles. At present nearly 400,000 cars are owned in the province. Even with this number the question of accident prevention would be of considerable proportions, but at certain times the number of visiting motor cars equals the number owned. Several counts last summer established this fact so that Ontario has to deal with nearly 800,000 individual motor drivers. The chances are that this number will be exceeded during the touring seas 1928. Form Special Committee To the end that accidents may be greatly lessened, a Highway Safety Committee has been formed. The executive of this committee has as Its chairman the Ontario Minister of Highways, Hon. George S. Henry and the other members are W. G. Robert-Secretary of the Ontario Motor League; J. F. H. Wyse, Secretary of the Ontario Safety League; S. J. Dickson, Chiel of Police, Toronto; T. Marshall, Secretary of the Ontario Board of Trade; J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Vehicles; and R. M. Smith, Acting Deputy Minister of Highways. Co-operating is an advisory committee comprising all editors, heads of municipal governments, police chiefs, presidents of boards of trade, automobile clubs and service The executive have held a number of meetings during which every phase of the situation was discussed. The views of all experts were canvassed and finally boiled down to the conclusion that motor car accidents can * .be prevented by the exercise of wm- Working Girl Hoste! for Port'mon SBnse and courtesy, it was felt sufficient laws Elizabeth Standerton, S. Af.--Mrs. Tonkin is South Africa's first woman factory Inspector, and has now been responsible for the opening of the Working Girls Club at Port Elizabeth, which has done splendid work on behalf of the hundreds of young girls employed In the factories there. A new hostel at a cost of £10,000 is being built, and is, so far, the only one of its kind In the Union. It is proposed to erect Bimilar industrial hostels in all large towns where welfare work for women Is receiving attention. It is felt in South Africa as in Great Britain that those associatetd with Industry should keep before them two Ideals, first that of associating the workers with any welfare efforts in the factory, and second that of Inculcating into forewomen their responsibility for the welfare both of the industry and of the individual worker. Mrs.. Tonkin has made a study of the great Federal Labor bureaus in America, and considers that "welfare work" in Great Britain and the Union Js a much more elastic and comprehensive ierm than that known in i in Germany is in en-L with the fundamental ildeas of mutual understanding and peace.--Gustave Str that the province had and regulations affecting motors. The next step was to impress the individual driver with a sene of his or her responsibility. It was ascertained that many drivers with years of experience had failed to realize the great increase in traffic, while the motor car had become so common that new drivers had not appreciated its dangers. In other words an effort had to be made to get the public "traffic conscious." Coming to concrete cases it was.found that most accidents, the human" element being excluded, arose from defectiye brakes, defective steering gear and glaring headlights. Of these, defective brakes provided by far the most common source of accidents. "Traffic Consciousness" It was determined first to arou:e this traffic consciousness in the public by a publicity campaign And this campaign was to be backed up by a rigid enforcement of laws and regulations. Co-operation was readily secured throughout the province on'the part of the police, heads of municipal governments, and the traffic patrol officers. Striking advertisements ealling attention t0 the need of more care in accident prevention are appearing in most papers throughout Ontario. Posters are hung in every garage and filling station and stickers with the words "I'm for Care and Courtesy, Are YOU?" have been sent to every filling station and garage to be pasted in the lower right hand corner of windshields. Half a million of these stickers have already been sent out. Information was supplied to practically every newspaper so that the editors might call attention to what was being atempted. This information was used in many ways in the newspapers. The radio stations and motion picture houses also co-operated. Prominent men and experts on safety gave talks over the radio, the first one being given by Hon. Mr. Henry. Billboards are also used, so that nothing has been overlooked to arouse what officials call traffic consciousness." In the meantime officials of the Ontario Department of Highways are doing all in their power to suppress reckless driving, and those drivers who into traffic. It is planned to weed such drivers by cancelling their licenses. Of course no mercy is being shown those who attempt to drive under the influence of liquor. Drivers who suffer from any physical or mental infirmity that makes then; r.enacj on the highway will also be refused licenses. During September 54 convictions tore registered for intoxication when a charge of motor cars. The penalties imposed varied from seven to thirty days, while every driver so con-icted had his license to operate and _is motor vehicle permit suspended. They could not drive and their cars ■e tied up. During the same monUi „ motor vehicle permits were suspended for reckless driving and thi drivers were prohibited from driving' any car for periods ranging from thre< days to two years.
