HUDSON LOWERS PRICE
It's Six Forty for 1915 Will Sell
at $500 Less.

Probably the most significant announce
ment thus far regarding 1915 models is
that of the Hudson, of which the A.
Elliott Ranney Company Is the New
York distributor The Hudson Six-40, one
of the biggest hits Of the year among
medium priced siX-cylinder cars, will be
placed on the market for next year at
price $500 less than this season, due to
largely increased production.
Whether or not the Hudson move points
to a reduction all along the line remains
TO be seen. Ii is improbable, however,
that such will be the case, the reduction,
in this instance, being due to the fact
that three times the 1914 output has been
arranged for next year
The new model. IL is claimed. will nave
thirty-one features superior TO those or
the season just ending. Among them are
an improved streamline body and wider
seats and more efficient carburetion.
S S. Toback. president of the Ranney
Company, is making suitable preparations
to welcome the new models. The firm
will move in few days from 9th st. to
the corner Of Broadway and 9th ST., re-
Gently occupied by the Isotta. The new
place is being deliberately fitted up. II

Drink Plenty of Water.


You can't gain or retain good looks
until you realize the value of plain,
everyday water. Do you drink glass
Of water every morning. half hour
before breakfast7 MOI Well, that glass
Of water will keep your skin clearer
than anything else you can use.
Drink 1t hot-don't waste your time
by temporizing with lukewarmness.
Have the water steaming and sip It
while you are dressing. If you find 1t
hard to take, add little lemon juice or
a pinch Of salt to cake away the fat
ness.
Between that first glass and bed
time you should drink at least quart
Of water. That isn't as much as 1t
sounds. 1t is only four or five glass;
fuls in all-the one In the morning,
another at bedtime and two or three
In between. Only the first glass need
be hot; the rest can be any tempera-
ture you prefer.
A quart Of water day will aid in
keeping your digestion in perfect con-
dition. 1t will flush off the impurities
that otherwise would come out in
pimples and eruptions, and that means
clear. healthy skin.

TAKING MEDICINE.

There Arc Many Ways Of Doing II, but
Only One Right Way.
Take fluid remedy from medicine
glass or from a silver spoon. Chemical
action of some liquids upon brass
creates liquid that would be fatal If
taken into the stomach. A good rule
Is never to take medicine from any
thing made Of the coarser metals.
While pouring the medicine from
bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle
so that the label is uppermost. This
will prevent the medicine pouring over
the label and staining If not obliterat-
ing It This precauuon. especially in
the case of liquids that might be harm
full If taken by mistake or In the
wrong quantity. is imperative
Unless directions require you to take
medicines full strength. it is better to
dilute them half and half with water.
Never take doses larger than those
specified in the directions Better that
they be smaller.
Under no circumstances take medi-
cine in the dark. The reason is OBJ
vious. Read the frequent news Of
deaths of persons who have taken
poisons by mistake.
Be sure never to pour medicine back
into the bottle. Never fail to shake
the bottle before taking dose Of the
contents. If there be any sign Of sedi-
ment, shake the more.
Unless directed otherwise you would
better take all capsules, pills or tab
lets with q half glass Of water.
Never use liniment near an open
fame, for nniment usually contains
some combustible element Always
rub liniment into the skin until it is
nearly dry.
Be sure to brush the teeth after TAX
ing medicine, since many medicines
contain acids or iron, both Of which
are injurious to the teeth.
Keep effervescent medicines in cool
place.-New York American.

Sugar a Reju~enator.

The belief is gaining ground in many
quarters that If you wish to stave of
old age and to have the feeling of per-
ennial youth and vigor. no matter what
your actual years may be. you cannot
do better than eat plenty Of sugar.
One of the pioneers Of this theory is
Professor Metchnikoff, who has made
exhaustive experiments to prove his
statements
There are some who even assert that
not only does the frequent eating of
sugar keep one from growing old. but
that If man or woman will begin the
sugar treatment, even after senility
has set In, the effect will be SO great as
to amount to complete change in his
or her character.

Hard Surface Roads.

In a bulletin the department. OF agrf-
culture points out that Of more than
100000 miles Of roads in the United
States only about 100000 miles have
been given hard surface. 1t is true,
of course, that a large part of the re-
naming mileage consists of roads that
are entirely unimproved, and that on
roads of this class the drag is pract-
caIly useless. There Is much larger
mileage, however. that has been par
tally improved. and it is on roads OF
this character that have been crowned
or drained, but have not got hard
surface. that the use Of the drag is ac-
vocated.

ACCIDENTS ON THE WATER.

How = Pct or Pan or Even Hat May

The worst thing to do In an accident
on the water Is to founder around And
shrek and cry. That expels the air
from the lungs, and then the body
will quickly sink. With this fact IN
derstood we may experiment with a
number of things to show how little 1t
takes to support the body. The high
silk hat of man contains sufficient air
to keep him from sinking If he grasps
it by the rim and holds 1t upright SO
that the air is imprisoned under the
hat. Even derby hat will support a

her, raised to ward of the suns rays
when the accident occurred. Finding
herself in the water some distance
from the boat, she grabbed for the
