a Symbol of Health

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. AS badge they used the
FIVE pointed star which they regarded
as a symbol of health. A red Ave
pointed star appears on each package
of Chamberlain's Tablets, and still
fulfils its ancient mission as a symbol
of health. If you are troubled with
Indigestion, biIiousness or constipa-
ton, get a package of these tablets
from your druggist. You will be sur

afford. Obtainable everywhere.

CLOTHES AND A SWIMMER.
A Word About Going Overheard at Sea
While Fully Dressed.

Professor J. Jolly sent 10 the London
Times a letter on experiments he and
Professor II. II. Dixon have conducted
on the advantages and disadvantages
Of swimming In clothes-a subject
which may be Of Importance TO any
one who travels By sea.
The popular notion is that clothes
drag a swimmer down. but the maxi
mum downward drag Of an ordinary
sailors clothes In sea water was shown
10 be only four ounces. This was after
all air had been expelled from the
clothes. In practice the drag for a
conshiera bic time would be less. At
first there would even be sustaining
force from the clothes or course, for
a short and sharp burst Of swimming
clothes would obviously be a great i'm
pediment.
The most important result Of the ex-
per1ments, however, was to show that
a clothed person in the sea loses
warmth very much less rapidly than
an unclOthed person. The explanation
is that fabrics placed against the skin
stop the circulation and prevent the
body warmth from being carried of
by the water With a great amount Of
clothing il might be possible to keep
fairly warm even In very cold water.
The moral is; Keep on your clothes,
and If You have a life helt or life saw
ing waistcoat keep on plenty Of them.
Origin Of Mash"
The common slang word mash" is
from a beautiful gypsy word, "mafa-
da," which means "to charm by the
eyes"

known mechanical engineer and tech
nical writer
At the first session of the school
, over 500 of the 5000 employees of the
Chalmers company reported for en-
rollment and the number has steadily
increased with each meeting. All ses-
sionS are held in the new auditorium
at the Chalmers factory. which seats
500 people and was formally opened at
the last sales convention.
we aim to ..ansform the more or

men into a stable body with some def
mite plan in view looking toward ad-
vancement and higher salaries" says
s. II. Humphrey, vice president in
charge of manufacturing, who is re-
sponsible for the school idea. "A big
demand exists in the automobile in
dustry for trained men of every de-
scription, but on many occasions in
the past, we have been compelled to 20
outside of the automobile business to
secure these men. Automobile work.
ers are inclined to drift from one fac

ION the other hand we have a great
number of men who are fairly well
educated, ambitious to get ahead and
who have readily fallen in with our
school suggestion. In one of his
classes. Mr.. Arthur discovered two Ru-
manian factory sweepers, who proved
that they had been educated through

AWAITS ARRIVAL
OF HUDSON CAR
New Super-Six Said to Be
the Last Word in Motor
Making.

With the expectation that he will re-
ceive definite information any day now
regarding the date on which new Hud-
son Super-siX demonstrating car will
be shipped, preparations are being
made by L. ]. Ross for one of the finest
private automobile shows ever given
in this vicinity.
The wonderful Super-six will be
shown here for the first time at for
NAL exhibition lasting three or four
days, during which time it is expected
that all the motor car enthusiasts in
this district will have an opportunity
to inspect the Super-six and ride in this
remarkable Hudson.
News of the sensational perform
ances of the Hudson Super six is
sweeping the country like wild fire. Two
cars have already been received and
shown in Salt Lake, Denver and one or
two other large western centers, with
the result that hundreds OF orders have
already been placed for the Super six
from various quarters of Utah, Idaho
Wyoming and the rest of the inter-
mountain west.
That the Hudson company has
brought out the most unusual car the
art of automobile building has so far
produced is conceded everywhere.
The motor has six cylinders. devel-
oping rs horse power, which means an
added so per cent increase in power
without added size or number of cyl
inders in former Hudson cars.
The Super-six has broken all records
for speed and acceleration up to 100
miles.
The Super has gone 100 miles in
80 minutes. 21.4 seconds, averaging
74.67 miles per hour with driver ano
passenger
The car has been stepped up to 70.7-
miles an hour carrying FIVE passengers
with top and Windshield up.
From a standing start the car at
tanned 90 miles an hour in 1872 seconds
The car carries the most powerful
motor per cubic displacement the worl6
has ever known. This means vast re.
serve power for hard roads and FOL
hills. 1t means ability to creep on higl

and to avoid the changing of gears.
