SAFETY OF AUTOS.

Numerous as automobile accidents are.
the fact remains that these new carriages
can be so used as TO be apprecably safer
than any OF their predecessors, and such
use Is compatible, even on common high
ways with the maintenance Of an average
speed at least twice. perhaps thrice, that
TO be attained with horses for any con-
siderable distance.
The automobile is. or ought 10 be, al

perfect than that OF the horse ever IT,
and. when so controlled, the peris OF the
automobile, distinguished from the per-
Ills OF automobiling, are few indeed. They
include the ever-present one OF a break
in the running and steering gears but
this is small and daily becoming smaller
as the experience Of the manufacturers
Increases.

DON'T WEAR
HIGH COLLARS

That high collars tend to produce ner-
vous headaches among both men and
women Is the most recent discovery OF a
wel-known Viennese physician. Quite
accidentally the doctors attention was
directed to the very high and very tight
style OF collar worn by patient who
was always complaining OF headaches
and giddness. The collar was laid aside,
thus removing the compression OF the
neck. and the patients headaches and
giddiness disappeared. Struck by this
result the doctor paid particular atten-
tion To the kind OF collars worn by his
headache patients" and in very many
instances the change TO lower and easier
fitting collars brought immediate relief.
In the case Of women wearing high stiff
neckbands II was found that doing away
with these had a similarly beneficial re-
suit The doctor declares that nobody
with a tendency to headache should
wear high collars.
