Elwood Haynes IN speaking OF the future OF the
automobile, says
1T seems very certain that the motor car Is nor
destined lose in popular favor did the bicycle
There is a wide difference between a bicycle pro-
PEELED by human power and automobile pro-
PEELED by a powerful gasolene motor. The bicycle
carries only passenger and requires great mus
cular exertion. while the latter takes the entire
family out, with much greater speed than they can
be carried by any other means OF private convey
ance. It gives that luxurious which is so de-
srabe to all classes OF people, especially when
tired with the duties OF the day. In fact
II has become permanent adjunct to every luxu-
rous home. The house and its equipment furnish
the interior comfort and luxury for the family.
while the automobile furnishes the outdoor enjoy
nnent and is beneficial to the health and strength
Of those who participate in IT, Furthermore. the
boys of the family usually take active interest
in driving the automobile and in learning the func
tions Of the different parts. and thus almost
consciously they gain a good fundamental knovl-
edge of machinery. The little gasolene motor and
It's accessories under the hood form power plant
In itself. while the transmission. gearing and
driving mechanism afford ample means for study.
The increased Introduction of machinery into all
forms OF industry is constantly calling for
having a greater knowledge OF It's workings and
the automobile will certainly form excellent ed
ucation along these lines"

EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
Why saIves Fail While Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousands
of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to germ and curable only
through the skin. 1t is not a blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and are
perfectly healthy otherwise, and there
fore prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not pene-
trate the skin. The only way to reach
the germs is by means of a penetrating
liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by sim
ply mixing ordinary oil of wintergreen
with thymol. glycerine and other heal
Ing agents. This compound known as
the D. D. D. Prescription stops the itch
instantly and the cures all appear to be
permanent. 1t might be advisable to
speak to your druggist about this.

Carriage for "Uncle Joe" in the Future

jewel 1t was suggested that the gov
ernment ought to keep a vehicle for
the vice-president.
The bait was swallowed in connec-
ton with the line and pole and the
legislative executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill provides that the
vice-president and speaker shall each
have a carriage.
1t was figured that two prancing
horses for each, with an appropriate
conveyance having four wheels and a
vanished body. would cost the gov
ernment $1,000. and that lump sum
was allowed for the innovation.
The item, which is incorporated for
the first time, does not specify wheth-
er either Of the officials shall have one
or two horses. rockaway, victoria.

horses and carriages. That is cer-

Trimming a Blouse.

II you have only scrap of material
left over from cloth skirt, trim your
blouse with 1t. If the blouse isn't of

dyed to match in color.
To be quite correct, 1t wants touch
of the skirt material on it. The mere
scrap left from the skirt will do 1t.
Cut it into as wide a band as the
shoulders will stand and the material
allow. Stitch 1t at edges, cover 1t with
an Egyptian design in soutache, and
apply 1t to the blouse.

you can, soutache It, and put 1t around

passes under the upright band join
with an embroidered crows foot or a
uatin-covered button.
