Task of Designers.

Designers appear to have set them
selves the task of producing car that
will almost run itself. Skill in the op-
orator will always be desirable. Of course.
but each year-and in 1914 more than
ever-its Importance becomes less. This
was evidenced in 1913 by the adoption
by many makers of self-starting devices
and more convenient methods of control
This year self-starters are universal and
control methods have been further sim
rlified and made even more convenient.
while now gear-shifting ALWAYS diff
cult for novices and women has been
taken in hand and is being made easier.
The same tendency is noticeable in
other directions. Indeed. there is a gen
erai recognition of the fact that the gaso-
line vehicle can well take example by
the electric in such matters as ease and
convenience Of operation. and adapta-
bility to all-the-year use at the hands of
operators of both sexes and nearly all
ages 1t is not very long since the driver
of car was obliged to get out of his
seat with great frequency-to start the
engine and to light his lamps, for ex
ample.

Motor Cycles to Protect Roads.

If Forest Supervisor Woods of HALEY,
Idaho, has his way, there will soon be
established a motor cycle patrol along
the roads of Sawtooth Forest. to prevent
careless sheep herders from permitting
their stock to damage the roads. 1t is
the opinion of Mr.. Woods that such a
patrol would save the county and the
forest department much of the money that
is now being spent for repairs and would
keep the roads in better condition for
the constantly increasing travel over the
roads

That sort of a nasal catarrh need
not be described. Everybody knows

Peruna helps such cases every day
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Peruna benefits even the
worst cases of old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases Of nasal ca
tarrh not SO evident. One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus In the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish humps.

Of a cold. These symptoms describe
a case of subacute nasal catarrh.
Many people have it. and some who
