Deepening Cushions
Seems Without End

Just where the deepening of cushions
will eEd, unless 1t ends on the floor
o; the car. no man can tell at pres
ent.
When ten-inch cushions were adver-
tised as the aCme of perfection, en-
terprising manufacturers almost imme-
to the length of providing cushions nc
less than fourteen inches in thickness
The saving grace of an otherwise
ludicroI situation is that the deepen
ing of cushions in general has had a
distinctly beneficial effect-for the cal
owner, of course.

Many Ways OF Start Car.
after the motor car is started there
is one right way and dozen wrong
ways of starting the car itself. and
this is a point on which the great per-
centage OF drivers are either indIf
ferent or uninformed. The spark
should be advanced slightly. usually
aDout two or three inCneS-. Inc manu-
throttle should be completely retarded.
fnasmuch as the supply of gasolene can
be best and most easily controlled by
use of the foot throttle.
After the motor Is running at very
moderate speed. throw your control
into first speed position and engage
the clutch very gradually. II you en-
gage it suddenly you vii jerk the car
and subject II to a terrific strain. The
same will happen If your motor is rum
ming too fast when the clutch Is ELL
gagged. If, on the other hand. you en-
gage your clutch when the motor is
running too slowly you Will very often
choke it, although you are not nearly
80 like to choke Your motor on first
speed as YOU are on second or high
THE whole trick of starting your car
lies in a quiet. smooth getaway, and
this Is up to care and caution and prac-
tice Gears should never 'burr'-and
they won't If shifts are made adroitly
and skillfully.
Get Smooth Start.
Never apply your brake when the
clutch is in To stop the car, release
the foot throttle. which will slow your
car automatically. your hand throttle
being already retarded. Now thTow
out your clutch and apply the foot brake
gently. Avoid the use of the emergency
except in emergency. Do not set your
rear wheels unless you despise your
tires and want to subject them to I'M

 The Fai banks public bodies have now held meetings and are appealing to the governor to arrange for a fill- ing of the vacancy.

 WASHINGTON, D.

The bill is expected to become law in suf- ficient time to have a secretary ap- pointed by President Wilson soon af- ter his inauguration.
 Contrary to expectations very little opposition was manifested in the meas- ure by senators and members of both parties vied with each other in the efforts to show that they appreciated l Its importance.
 It is said that Mfr. Wilson has al. ready decided upon the man who will represent the labor deparur:n: in his cabinet but not the slightest .:kling as to who he will be has been given opt. Most people are inclincd to think Samuel 0ompers will be chosen bat many others can be heard to declare that he has no chance whatever.

That they have found something that indicates clearly the joining of the pay streaks of Dexter and Extra Dry there seems, however. to be no doubt.

 Some people interested in Alaska now seem to be of the opinion that more modest request would have had a good chance for success.

can have public health if it will but
pay the price" continued the surgeon
general The most needed reforms in
public health administration are great
er cooperation between public officials
the employment of full time workers,
establishments of laboratories, accurate
collection of vital statistics and the
setting aside of sufficient funds to
accomplish those things.
Depends on the Citizens.
THE future OF sanitary administra-
ton in this country depends upon the
interest which the citizens take in it's
development. There is no better index
Of the state Of civilization of a COM
munity than the manner in which il
approaches its public health problems.
There IS still much room for reform in
the sanitary administration of many
states and municipalities in our country
and not the least important duty de
volying upon the health officials of this
nation IS the education of the general
public to the end that sanitary re-
forms will not only be accepted but
Will also be earnestly sought for.
FeveriSh Energy; Then Lethargy.
The feverish energy in sanitary
matters which characterizes the gener-
al public in time of epidemic soon gives
way to lethargy and Indifference to
public health matters. The average in
dividual is willing to take a chance of.
contracting a disease when it seems a
long way off, and it is only when it
Is close upon him and in Spectacular

dangerous, are permitted to occur

Today, such criticisms are gladly re-
ceived and promptly acted upon The
efficiency of human machinery is quite
as important as the efficiency of the
other machinery of the factories, and
the realization of this fact has re-
suited in an extension of the powers
and duties of the public health author
tiles.
''The sanitary machine Of this cOun-
try is a vast organization, reaching
from the white house to the humblest
cottage in the United States. The day
has passed when by individual brill
fancy a battle against disease foes may
be won without regard to the engage
ments which are going on all about US.
We live in an age in which efficiency
is the slogan. We have learned from
oft repeated failure and sore disap-
pOintment that in sanitary work as in
all the other efforts of the human race,
the greatest good can be accomplished
in the shortest space Of time and with
a minimum expenditure of funds and
labor by a concentrated, cooperative
effort"
