Often people leave a city because they cannot find suitable places in which to live. Often prospective residents who have been attracted to a city by busi ness locations or positions, or by the fact that the city is known as a eood place to do business, leave because they fail to find a place in which to live. The classified columns of local newspapers should be used as a clearing house and listing place for those who want houses, rooms and apartments and those who have them for rent. People do not realize the impor tance of classified ads. If these col umns were used more, it would do much in keeping houses and rooms rented. Classified ads are a time saver for the house and room hunters. ALLEGED FORGER CAPTURED Sausalito, Calif.

Doctors have always recognized the value of the laxative whose dose can be measured, and whose action can i be thus regulated to suit individual need. The public, too, is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that a properly pre pared liquid laxative brings a more natural movement without any dis comfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative -an be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good.
