AUTO EXPORTS IMPROVE

Marked Improvement was shown in
the export movement of American motor
cars and parts during September, the
total for the month being S277,917. as
against S211,S73 for September, 1907.
The greatest increase was shown in the
trade with British North America, the
total being sf31.27s, compared to S50,-
ESQ year ago. The amount purchased
by the United Kingdom was S50.015,
against S39,321
To Offset these gains somewhat were
losses in Mexico, South America. Brit
ish Australasia and Africa. The Sep
tember gain does not make up the de-
fcit for the part of the fiscal year that
has passed. For the nine months end
ing with September the total is s4.2S2,-
72s, as against $4,296,sS5 for the same
period in 1907.
The greatest drop-from s512, $50 last
year to S21S,6T0-was that of Mexico
British Australasia likewise shows a
continual falling off, making total for
nine months of s59,3S0 as against s154,-
496 for the corresponding nine months
in 1907.

FOX HUNTING IN AUTO

Fox hunting with no red coated
equestrians and with an auto horn in
stead of bugle for summoning tile
hounds is the unpicturesque system en-
ployed by Prof. j. +. Draughton of
Nashville, Tenn, who now uses e motor
car instead of horses for this sport. His
hunting ground is about 80 miles from
Nashville, and in order to transport his
pack of 81 registered dogs to the scene
of action he has devised a large trailer
which he couples to the rear of his car
When the scent has been struck the
trailer is left by the roadside and the
professors car may be seen scurryins
up lanes and crossroads. so that he may
be in at the DEATH After the fox has
been run down Draughton returns to
his trailer, toots the horn vigorously
for the wanderers of his pack and after
they are all assembled piles them into
their cages on the trailer for the haul
back to town.

WOMAN SLABS HERSELF
DIRECTLY UNDER HEART
Doctors Suspect Insanity and
Brother Will Ask for In-
uuiry Under Warrant

Christina Heller. 40 years of age,
stabbed herself yesterday with a small
pocket knife, inflicting two severe
wounds directly under the heart.
Mrs. Heller. who has been living
with her brother, Christian Heller. at
2S16 Golden Gate avenue. came to San
Francisco with her three little children
from Cincinnati about two weeks ago
and had intended to remain here for
the winter.
Heller had noticed that for several
days his sister had been morose, but
thought that it was on account OF her
not having any friends iTr the city and
had no suspicion that the woman would
attempt to take her life
The injured woman was removed to
the central emergency hospital, where
her injuries were dressed. The doctors
noticed that she appeared to be suffer-
ing from melancholia and she was
placed in the insanity ward. Heller will
today apply for a warrant asking that
she be held until the question OF her
sanity may be determined.

but a enforcement of digestive

General Dem and

of the Well-Inforined of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known

sanction for family use because its COM

In supplying that demand with its ex-

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
