Don't cut corners.
Don't forget the rules of the road
and their requirements.
Don't stop at street intersections in
such a manner as to block the cross

Don't be inconsiderate.

"EXTRAVAGANCE OF
THE AUTOMOBILE"
Nany Howl About it. bat Today it is Con
sidered q Necessity-Its Cost Has
Gradually Declined.

While every food product clothing and
in fact all other necessities Of life have
advanced TO something near double their
cost Of 10 years ago. the price Of the su-
tomobile has been on the decrease. The pur-
chasing power Of a dollar in the automo-
bile industry today is % percent greater
than 1t was a year ago.
any unprejUdiced person will concede
that in every class or type Of car. the value
is from IS to IS percent greater in 1914
than il was a year ago. Scientific manu-
featuring methods quantity production and
care in distribution has brought about this
radical adjustment Of price.
Ingenious economies in manufacture have
done wonders for the purses of the great
automobile buying public. They have done
almost much to slice prices as spirited
competition and experienced buying
Besides when you see a happy family
spinning along n fine road enjoying all the
pleasures the great out Of doors offers in
the way Of health and happiness it is easy
TO see why thinking people no longer con
slider the automobile a luxury, but neces-
sity.
So, while all other necessities Of life
have advanced in price, the automobile cost
has lessened to q marked degree. Yet in
face Of all this, you hear certain persons

OUT-OF-DOOR LIVING ROOM

It is far cry. back to the days OF

modern house may be furnished as lux

Style Tips About Town.

No coat without its bit Of white turning
over at the collar now. Most of these
becoming white coat collars are attached
to chenisettes which are donned under
the blouse of silk lace or chiffon; or the
collar may be part of tub silk or hand
kerchief linen blouse worn under the
coat.
Sheer white organdie is the popular COL
lar material and the smartest collars are
cut double, scanned at the edge and with
out a hem. If single layer of organdie
Is used the lace is very narrow and is
set in with hand stitches or a line of fine
hemstitching. Lace and embroidery col
lars are not as smart as these sheer
organdie collars. though occasionally col

Ptomaine Poisoning.

Boards of health have begun to issue
warnings against ptomaines. and the In

a perfectly clean icebox practically elimi-
nate these dangers. however. The refriger-
ator has been mentioned before in this COL
umn. and the efficient housewife realizes
the Importance of frequent and thorough
cleansing, not only of the interior of the
oox. but flushing the drain pipes and

water. then with cold water, so that lin
eering heat will not melt the ice more

when 1t Is sent home. put 1t on a clean
piate and get It into the icebox as quickly
as possible. Do not let it lie in the paper
In warm kitchen. and above all, do not
put 1t in the icebox wrapped in paper.
Some cooks recommend washing meat
after 1t comes from the butcher, others
prefer wiping with a clean cloth. and
claim that washing destroys the flavor. @

sprinkled with salt and wrapped in a

soup was all right, since it tasted and
