New York Nov. 6.-IntcreStlnS sta
tistics have just been collected mere
which show the surprising growth end
magnitude Of the auto industry in this
country. The present capital of tins
business is s9i.00o,000 with $4,000. J09
inve stel in kindred trades and So. 900.
Giuj in garages ana retail SaleSroOlnS,
making Il total of $1S7 ,0D0, 900 in a busi-
ness practically unknown ten years
ago. Mere than $4,000 persons are en-
pluyed in auto factories Throughout
the country: $4,000 more are employed
indirectly in making parts and another
Il 800 in garages and salesroomS, max
ing n total OF more than 13S,1Vo en-
ploycS Figured on the regular BASIS
this industry, therefore, Is the support
of nearly half million persons. There
are now Z53 builders of automobiles III
the United States of which at least 10
have passed the experimental stage.
The output for last year was about J2,-
600 cars, the largest in the history OF
the industry. which up to date has
turned out altogether nearly 20,0Jo ma
chimes Careful estimates for the COM
ing year pl&ce the output at 5000 cars
of Whi~h iour factories Will produce
about half and one alone 1200O autos.
During the history of this industry
$2S, 100000 worth of foreign cars have
been imported, but today America is
exporting far more than she imports.
Eight years ago the sales of American
ears totalled less than SS,0o0,0h0 last
year they We're more than SlG5.0e0, ,o09.
Perhaps the most significant feature Of
the whole development of this infant
industry IS found in the fact that the
great ma aiinrity Of cars now manuf2r-
tured sell for $500 or less showing that
the auto. at first only the toy Of the
wealthy, is fast becoming an accepted

BEST PRESCRIPTION N

Full Directions to Make and Take This
Simple home-Made Mixture
Makes Kidneys Filler

When an eminent authority an.
bounced in the Scranton, Pa, Times
that he had found new way to treat
that dread American disease, Rheuma-
tism, with just common, every day
drugs found in any drug store, the ply
sicians were slow indeed to attach much
importance to his claims. This was
only few months ago. Today nearly
every newspaper in the country, even
the metropolitan dsilies, are announc-
ing it and the splendid results schiev-
ed. 1t is so simple that any one can
prepare 1t at home at small cost. 1t is
made up as follows: Get from any
good druggist Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime. These
are all simple ingredients, making an
absolutely harmless home remedy at
little cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
symptom OF deranged kidneys. 1t is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, If not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms OF
bladder and urinary troubles and back
ache. He also warns people in lead
ing New York paper against the dis
criminate use of many patent medi.
