HOW ONE MAN
LOST 22 POUNDS
Mr. Herman Runkis of Detroit,'
writes: "A few lines of thanks from
a rheumatism sufferer—My first bot
tle of Krusfhen Salts took all of the
aches and swellings out of my joints'
—with my first bottle I went on a
diet and lost 22 pounds and now feel
like a new man."
To lose fat safely and quickly take!
one half teaspoonful of Kruachen'
Salts in a glass of hot water in the
morning before breakfast.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen—the cost for a bottle
that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle at any!
drug store in the world and if after'
the first bottle you are not joyfully
satisfied with results—money back.
Clark's Drug Store will be glad to
supply you.

[HIGHWAY FORCE
COLLECTS LARGE
SUM FOR STATE
$39,446 in Revenue Secured
By Patrolmen During , ,
Month of March
_
Raleigfi.—ln addition to traveling
159,000 miles, stopping 18,623 cars and
trucks and arresting 972 drivers for
major violations of the highway and
motor laws, the State Highway Pa
trol collected $39,44> in revenue for
the state and counties, either from
tax evaders or from fines and forfeit
ures, the report of March, issued re
cently by Chairman E. B JefTress of
the State Highway C ommi&sio.n,
shows.
Of this $39,446 in revenue collected
as a result of the patrol's activities,
$18,981 went to* the county school
funds from fines and forfeitures, the
balance going into the state's general
or highway funds,, not a penny of it
going io the highway patrol, Jeffress
pointed out.
j "Some people seem to have the idea
that all the patrolmen do is to collect
Imoney and that they must he neglect*
jing their duties patrolling the high
j ways," Jeffress said. "But this is not
I the case. Whatever revenue is col
lected by the patrol is obtained in
(the regular routine of their duties in
jenforcing the highway and motor ve
hicle laws. The greater part of this
revenue is obtained from those who at
tempt to evade payment of the auto
! mobile license 'taxes or who try to
operate their cars or trucks under im
proper licenser. Revenue of this sort
Icollected last month by patrolmen a
j mounted to $20,465. The county
'schools benefit from the fines and for
feitures, since the law requires that all
the money collected from these sources
shall go into the county school fund.
Ofthe 972 arrested -by patrolmen in
March, 107 were for drunken driving,
170 for reckless driving, 113 for ex
cessive speeding. 135 for using im
proper license tags, 4 for improper
lights and 477 for miscellaneous of
fenses. Of those tried in March, 943
were found guilty and only 28 not
guilty.
A total of 15,910 violations were
noted by patrolmen and the drivers
stopped, most of them let off with
warnings. The lights of 7,375 cars
were fixed at filling stations and tickets
for defective lights issued to the driv
ers of 735 additional cars. Tickets
were issued to. 388 drivers with im
proper license tags and to 548 with no
license tags. A total of 287 trucks
were weighed, of which 252 were
found to be overloaded.
No More
Bilious
Attacks
No more sick headaches. No more
dizzy spells. No more constipation.
No more furry tongue nor had breath.
Here's a way to fix up your poor
disordered stomach and put in. in such
splendid shape that it will be a long,
long time before it bothers you again.
Such an easy, pleasant wayl Just

THE ENTERPRISE
STUDY SALARIES
OF COUNTY AND
TOWN OFFICIALS
♦
Survey Is Being Made By
State Division of
Personnel
Raleigh.—What is the cost of gov-'
eminent in the. 100 counties and 495]
incorporated cities and towns of North
Carolina? What portion of the total
amount of taxes collected in the coun- 1
ties and towns is paid back to office
holders?; Are the salaries- paid to city I
and county officials in line with sal-'
Aries paid hy ffie v state and by busi-.j
ness generally, or are tltey higher than
in other lines of endeavor?
The Division of Personnel is al
ready starting -to get the facts with
which to answer these questions, in
accordance with the law enacted by
the 1931 general assembly, which di
rects that the Division of Personnel
shall make a study of the salaries paid
in the counties, cities, and towns, and
issue a report on its findings, as con
tained in section 15, chapter 277, of
the Public Laws of 1931, Frank Dun
lay, director of the division announced
today.
"I do not know just how far we
shall be able to go in making this sur
vey, since it is a big job to get all the
information necessary, but we are go
ing to do the best we can under the
circumstances," Dunlap, said,
Ihe Division of Personnel has no
direct supervision over the salaries of
county and city officials and the re
sults of the survey will be purely rec
ommendatory and not compulsory, so
that whatever action is taken, if any,
will have to be taken by the govern
ing bodies of the various counties,
citits and towns. However, the results
of the survey are expected to be very
illuminating and to show whether or
not the counties and towns are any
where .near in line with the state and
business in general.;.jj,the salaries paid
their officials.
During the 1931 general assembly,
when Governor O. Max Gardner ask
ed the general assembly to reduce the
salaries of all state employees 10 per
cent, lie also asked it to reduce the
salaries of all county, city, and town
employees the same amount. The
general assembly, however, refused to
include the counties and towns and
made the salary cut apply to state
employees only.
This survey fs expected to meet
with opposition from many county
and city officials, though it will have
the approval' of most taxpayers.

IT'S A HARD LIFE
(Morganton Newt-Herald)
One of the inspector* of the
State Board of Public Welfare re
the moit discouraged
iWSn he has heard talk about the
depression was the one who told
him the following tale of woe:
"In 1928,1 thought I was having
a hard time of it. Seemed like I
could hardly get on. The next
year was even worse. We just
couldn't make both ends meet, so
they took my four little children
and put 'em in an orphanage. We
thought that was bad—but the
next year, 1930. they hauled my
poor wife to the county home.'*
The man sighed, "Thought times
couldn't get no worse than they
were last year, but this year, 1931,
is even worse. Looks like now
they're going to get my Ford."
