More than 100000 worth OF auto-
mobiles were brought into the United
States during the fiscal year ending
with the last week Of June and more
than 100000 worth were exported
during the same time. Figures OF orr

the value of automobiles imported in
the eleven months ending with May to.
have been $3,502,244, and of parts
thereof, $685. $3.50, while exports thereof
during the same months amounted to
$2,957,74S. 1t Is apparent, therefore.
that the figures for the full fiscal year
which ended with June will show more
than 100000 worth Of automobiles
and parts thereof imported, and more
than 100000 worth exported.
Meanwhile the manufacture of auto
mobiles in the United States has
amounted to presumably more than
$26,000,000, since the bureau of the CEN

statement which shows the value of au
tomobiles manufactured in the United

as it does not include automobiles, val

probably be safely set down that the.

Origin Of Spotted Fever.-Recent ex-
periments prove that the deadly spot

caused by the infection of ticks acting
much like that which sets up splenetic

hitherto been controverted by physl-
clans.
The Danger in Headache Powders
Acetanalid poison is found in practI-
cally all Of the patent headache DOW
ders and they should either be avoided
or taken with great caution. This poi
son is a dangerous drug, and If the
stomach is weakened to a certain ex-
tent the quantity In a headache pow
der may be&suficient to kill. In fact
a boy died recently in Mesa County
from this poison.
Rheumatism.-One Of the latest rem
edies Is that Of a gardener who rec
ommends the familiar plant so well
known as chlckweed. The method OF
using 1t consists of filling wide
mOuthed bottle three-fourths full with
plant and then pouring in spirits Of
wine sufficient to cover the whole. The
is then allowed to stand
for from four days to a week, at the
end Of which time the tincture is to be
rubbed into the affected parts, in the
usual way.
Whooping Cough.-Procure a mix
ture of peroxide Of hydrogen two
drains, sirup of tolu ~ ounces and
water one-half ounce. Give from ten
drops to one teaspoonful according to
age every hour for two or three doses,
then every two hours for six or eight,
getting farther between doses as the
patient improves. This Is a newer and
better formula than that of any. Of
the old-fashlOned cough sirups, the
most of which depend upon morphine
or opium as a palliative.
