There is probably more deception
practiced by dishonest motor car makers
in body building than in any other part
of an automobile" says prominent
Washington dealer. IF the upholstering
of some bodies were removed there
would be revealed some interesting
methods used in cheap body construction.
Often one would find knots which nat
uraIly tend to weaken the body frame,
and many times cracked framework is
used and covered by the upholstering.
In the coach work shoddy excelsior or
some other cheap filling is used by some
avaricious car makers. The seat of rat
Ting and squeaking troubles can often
be found in the number of joints used.
The better class of builders are con-
stantly striving to eliminate the neces-
sary number of joints in the construction
of their bodies"

A test of a vibrationless motor which
is often appned in the chassis test room
OF many motor car companies is to balance
an ordinary copper cent on the cylinder
head while the motor Is turning over
1t is an extremely severe test. For while
there is no difficulty in balancing a cent
on a motionless surface the slightest
movement will upset 1t. and when the
motion is continuous II must be very
slight not to disturb the balance OF the
coin.

His report. entitled The Geopsychic
Phenomena, has made a great stir in

theses of the professor, who depicts
humanity as a mere vitalized barom-

stimulus OF external forces. but has
little independent control over its
own movements.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM02

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on it's head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cutlcura Re-
solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar OF Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
it has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair I think the Cuti
cura Ointment very good for the hair
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept 10, 1910
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint'
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuu.

Success Likened to Plant.

Success is like a rare plant; it must
be nurtured and cared for Any effort
to develop it too rapidly is certain to
result disastrously. The great trouble
with most men Is that they desire to
get rich quick and to come into af-
fluence all at once. But you will find
that the majority of the worlds
wealthiest and most successful bust
ness men accomplished their aims by
years of persistent labor and through
development of the instinct of saw
ing.
Attaining success is much like the
making of a huge SNOWFALL, it in
creases in size as it rolls along. In.
dustry and patience are two of the
most important qualities necessary.
There are many temptations to cut
across lots to fortune. but the men
who do so take long chances Keep
ing everlastingly at it, subordinat.ng
expenses to income, and saving a GER
lain amount every year are three
things every ambitious young man
should remember. knowledge of hu-
man nature is another valuable bust
ness asset. In fact, business is moth
ing more nor less than an application
Of the science of human nature. Every
merchant, manufacturer. banker. and
men in all lines of business should
constantly study it.
