Men do not like to go to doctors. Nine
times out of ten they wait until they are
laid fat on their backs before they will
consult a physician. There is some reason
in this, for when a business man feels out
of sorts and goes to physician, he IS often
given violent drugs that make him, for a
time, unfit for business and really sick

nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleep

FENDER INVENTED BYA
PROMINENT ACTRESS

Although tired from a long jump be-
tween towns, Emily Dodd leading
woman of Through the Breakers, 7"
booked for LothropS this week, met a
reporter for The Spy last night at the
Bay State House and despite the fact
that she said really she didn't know a
thing which would make an interesting
interview, she gave a clever account of
patent fender she has invented. Stage
folks are supposed to create characters,
but seldom are of mechanical turn of
mind.
The fender has a spring drop which
catches any object that hits it, and in
stead of hurting the obstruction to one
side or carrying it under the car
wheels, this fender when properly APP
piled to an electric car makes it impos-
sible for any serious accident to occur
if a man or animal should be struck by
a moving car.

as some of. the weather we experienced

in Winnipeg, Mr.. Miller. my manager,
was going about town wearing a light
overcoat. Someone suggested that he

laughed at the idea, but was finally
persuaded into investing. The very
next day it turned awfully cold, and
he was glad enough he had a protec-
ton. was taken with a chill on the
train going on to Fargo, and Mr.. Miller
