bring them on. In some persons the blood vessels are brittle and they are also susceptible to such attacks. Ma ture generally gives some warning be- fore these attacks arise and such warning symptoms should ibe needed. Among the most common ones may be mentioned headache, dizziness, throbbing sensations in the neck, ring ing in the ears, flushing of the face. especially after eating or slight ex- ertion, bleeding of the nose and many others One of these symptoms would not indicate an attack but several of them together may do so.
 The fact that your wife has already had several attacks makes her still more susceptible to others and the very greatest care must be exercised, as she may not pass through another one. Over-eating is a usual cause, as the stomach will then distend and press upon the large blood vessel, which will cause an excessive amount of blood to go to the brain. In such cases the patient should sit upright never lie down, as this would increase the pressure. The stomach should al- so be un1oaded at once. Warm water with salt and mustard is then very useful. It would also be a good plan to ibat11e the feet in hot water, con taintng mustard or ginger. An abun- dance of fresh air should be provided
 
 body Ioosened. If it is known that the attack is causd by something else than over-eating, the patient may lie down with the head raised. The bowels must be moved. injections of warm water containing salt and ginger be- ing excellent.
 In your wife's case 1t is absolutely necessary to exercise the most rigid care. She should avoid all foods or habits liable to produce fat well as over-eating. She should take enough nourishment, preferably of fruits and vegetables, to sustain her strength; no more. Nothing Of a stim- uIating character should be taken by her. She should avoid lying down soon after eating and to go to bed with full stomach is indeed very dangerous Exertions before breakfeast and i'm mediately after meals are forbidden. She should try to avoid all mental strain, anxiety, excitement. anger, etc. A cheerful disposition is indeed of great help in such cases. She should keep her boyels freely open. Much of val ue in successfully treating such cases is to found in the Home Health Club books. If medication is needed I consider the tissue foods in their proper combinations best as they are safe, and often very effective. Specif- ic symptoms may need specific reme- dies

 As the tire revo1Ves a suction is po- duced, which draws particles of dirt into the cut. Gradually these paru- cIes work under the rubber, grinding and cutting it from the fabric If neglected this grinding process will work around the tire and separate the whole dread from the fabric. The fabric under the tread soaks up some of the moisture, which causes it to weaken, and 8 blowout soon fol- lows.
 A tire cut is the most common and most destructive of all tire troubles, and yet is the easiest to remedy if talk er in time. It is a good plan to look over your tires every few days. It will pay you to repair any cuts, how ever insignificant they may ap- pear.

ATyToaqoBrr,E UPHOLSTERY.

The scarcity of good leather, com pared to the proportion of demand, has bought about an important change in automobile upholstery, which, according to many manufac- furers will soon become universal. In stead of using makeshifts in the form of imitation leather, many motor car builders already have adopted a high grade of waterproof cloth, declaring that 1t is even better from the stand point of wear and comfort than the best leather they could secure.
 While it was not difficult to secure enough leather for upholsteripg the 5O.O6O cars built a, few years ago, the difficulty in securing an ample sup pIy has steadily increased until this year, when it is expected that fully 50O,OOo cars wi1l-be produced in this country. Today 1t is practically inn possible to obtain enough good leather to go around.
 Realizing that the shortage in the leather market would become more acute as the number of cars tncreas- ed, automobile men have encouraged experimentation on the part of cloth manufacturers during the past year or two The result is a non-cracking, non heating. weather proof fabric THE AUTOMOBILE

mobile was a. sign of wealth and lux urY. People of modest means and humble social position felt dattered to be efnvftd to ride even a short dis appointed if they were not observed by friends.
 LaiboFers working on the roads were often seen shaking their fists at passing motorists. The machine in their minds stood as the representa- tive of a cruel capitaiist1c system of wealth and luxury. It was the pro- letariat defying the aristocracy mani Tested in the flesh in their presence. It was a symbolic and class act, with no personal antnaus back of 1t.
 In the rural districts the feeling was bitter. One farmer was known to put a gun in the back of his wag- on on his way to town, openly threat ening that he would use it on the first motorist he met
 The abuses of operation of auto mobiles have grown worse rather than better since that time. Wherever there are cities and large towns, the roads are crowded with a pushing, hurrying crowd of drivers. How this traffic is to be regulated, and com mon decency enforced on people of rash temperament, is one of the daily problems of life.
 Meanwhile the recent notable price cuts in machines, and others likely soon to come, are bringing the auto mobile within reach of a new army of buyers. Already a moderate priced automobile, with good care, is cheaper to maintain than a horse and car riage.
 The automobile is no Iongerr a badge or expression of class feeling. Soon the man of wealth may begin retiring from a company which is growing too common for his taste. The farmers are said to own more of them than any. one class. The mo tor crowd in exterior aspects is far ton. It all looks plain and com mon enough, in one equal democracy of dust.

 A little glass cut, a nail hole or any Abrasion that penetrates the rubber tread to the fabric of the tire opens a way for dirt and moisture to creep in In many an apparently perfect tire, when removed from the wheel and dehated, is found a loose tread under which are dirt and moisture, ratting the fabric.

A BOARD OF TRADE

There is no reason why Being
ton should not have a Board of
Trade. We mean a good up-to-
date Board of Trade. Go into
thriving town of this size in al
most any part of the country and
You will find one of these Boards
of Trade, it may not be called by
those very words, but the plan
and purpose is the same. 1t
might be called a Boosters Club.
Or it might be a DEATH TO
THE KNOCKERS AGGREGA-
TION. Any of these names
would be fine. But we don't care
about the name. 1t is the pur-
pose and the ideal. The high
determination of citizens to make
their own city the best it can be.
That is the spirit that makes
some towns better than others.
Why can't we get more of that
in Belington? Our Mayor is
working hard on this project
now. Do the citizens of Beling-
ton want him to do it all? Why
not go to him of your own ac-
cord and tell him GU are with
him for Progress-that you
want to help. One man can't do
it all. Be a BOOSTER. Down
