Many doctors urge the regular use of

Instead—Pinkham’s Sanative Wash
Is an effective "bacteriostatic” (a newi

It not only discourages growth of

While “D” Day still continues, it
may be necessary to make Fourth of

ACCIDENTS EXPENSIVE ...
Last year the War cost ninety bil

accidents. National credit is 260 bil
lion, twenty thousand dollars a man,
woman or child. If nothing is done,
to stop accidents, Fourth of July will
take one thousand lives, and cost
twenty million dollars. If we think

The State Motor Vehicle Division
says traffic fatalities from January
