No Skunk Hides
Through Mails

ATLANTA, Ga, April 6.-Skunk
hides can no longer be sent through the
Atlanta postoffice, according to an
order issued by Postmaster Boiling
Jones. For several years the pelts of
sEunks have been sent through the
mails to eastern markets, and since the
establishment of the parcels post sys-
tenn the trappers in the mountains
around Atlanta have used the post
system almost exclusively in sending
the hides to market.
This week a particularly "ripe"
skunk hide was received at the local
office, having come in from one of the
roads leading into Atlanta, and con-
signed to the east. The odor was so
intolerable that within an hour after
tie hide was received into the post
office the clerks demanded that it be
removed. The hide was returned to
the shipper and at the same time the
postal employees were notified that no
more skunk hides can pass through
the Atlanta Office.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
PimpIes Are Impurities Seeking An
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisins and impurl>
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter the impurities from the blool AMI
cast them out in the form of urine, but
III many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impure
ties which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
OF toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to. normal activity.
thus coaXing them to filter the blood
Of impurities and clearing the skin Of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here
you have pleasant, effervescent drink
Which usually makes pimples disap-
pear; cleanses the blood and is excel
lent for the kidneys as well

PUTS OUT ROADSTER

The Scripps-BoOth company has just
announced four-passenger car Of the
roadster type, fitted to an eight-cylin-
der, high powered chassis.
This firm has been known during the
last year as the originator of the lux
urious light car idea, and has, in one
year, taken very prominent place in
the industry through its production of
an exceptionally high-class but light
weight car This car has taken re-
markedly, especially in the larger
cities, and among the luxury-loving
class, while from eight to ten cars a
day have been going to Europe for
some time.
All cars heretofore produced have
been two-passenger roadsters, with a
third auxiliary seat The new four
passenger will have a body almost
identical with the present car, except
for greater length, and with a rear seat
closely coupled to the front seat and
to which access is had from a passage
between the front seats. Single doors
only are fitted on either side of the
car.

CAD" BRINGS QUERY
AFTER IA YEARS

The average life of an advertisement
has been variously estimated at from
few days to several months, and cases
have been known where newspaper
ads" have continued to bring results
for years following their publication.
One such instance has come to the
attention of the Odds Motor works. An
inquiry, containing clipping of an ad
vertisement of the old curve dash run
about, was received from a prospec-
tive car buyer in Evergreen, a small
place in Virginia.
The advertisement, which appeared
in the latter part Of 1901, featured the
old curve dash car as the best thing
on Wheels" and the postmark showed
that the letter was mailed actually
more than IA years after the advertise
ment was printed.

RISE OF DODGE BROS.
LIKE FICTION STORY

In all the publicity which preceded
the actual appearance of the Dodge
Brothers car Dec. 4, 1914, and during
the year just past there has been moth
ing said of the Dodge brothers them
selves. Yet there is no more interest
ing story in the automobile world than
that Of these two men who came up
from the machinists bench to the own
ership Of this automobile concern
which ranks among the first six in pro-
duction.
AS this business is the sole property
of these two brothers, John F. and
Horace E. Dodge, so is the car the
embodiment of their own ideas, almost
the work Of their own hands. AS reg
ular in season as any other workmen
these brothers are always ION the job
throughout their factory and seldom
can be found in their Offices.
The Dodge brothers were born and
received their education in Niles, Mich.
After leaving school they went to work
with their father in his blacksmith
and machine shop, where they learned
the rudiments of their trade. In their
early eos they determined to go into
business for themselves. Their first
venture was In an old shed in Windsor,
Ont, where they rebuilt machinery,
particularly marine engines. In those
days Detroit was just waking up. The
beginning OF the great motor car IN
dustry was at hand, so in 1901 the
Dodge boys established themselves in
loft
AS the automobile industry expanded
there was demand for skilled machine
work Having reputation for accu-
racy in this work, they we're able to
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-04

close their first important order for
parts Of the original Oldsmobile. In
1913 there came Tumors that they
would abandon the parts business and
build a car Of their own.
This curiosity on the part of outsid-
ers and the reticence Of the Dodge
brothers to talk about themselves and
their product was taken advantage of
by the sales and advertising organiza-
ton. Before the first car appeared
thousands of dealers were ordering
cars, and the possible output could
have been doubled.
During their first year as automobile
manufacturers the Dodge brothers
sold more than $35,000,000 worth of
motor cars.

shown some scene in the history of

the stars and stripes of the United
States and the name OF Franklin
Pierce This ring was valued at $4,000.

FLASH OF LIGHT Is
INVITATION TO FIRE

London. Feb. 10.-tCorrespondence
of The Associated Press. D-FolloWing
the Zeppelin raid on the midland coun-
ties this notice was posted in Lin
colnshire town:
In the future, any person seen
flashing a light or letting off any sort
of rocket or frework when hostile
aircraft are present or expected will
be fired on without notice"
So much fable has grown up around
the Zeppelin raids that it is impos-
sible to tell whether or not there is
any basis of fact to the stories OF
spies communicating with the inyad-
ers by means of signal lights. After
every raid a crop Of stories appears
about mysterious motorcars with a
brilliant upturned light concealed in
the body. These stories are well
youched for but always come by hear
say.
One arrest. however, did result in
Lincolnshire after the raid. Walter
John Bott, a commercial traveller for
a mailing house, was brought before
the Lincolnshire police court on the
charge of displaying light In such
a manner as to serve as a signal dur
ing the raid Witnesses said that Bot
flashed a powerful electric torch in the
street when the Zeppelins were heard.
Bolts defense was that he was treat
ing some passers-by to a drink and
used the light in filling glass. The
authorities took the view that to dis
play a light of any sort at such a
time was serious matter.
Thousands of cases reported TO the
police by wellmeaning persons turn
ont to be too absurd to investigate.
People who forget to pull their blinds
down after turning on lights and then
take dumb bell or Indian club exer-
| cises in full view Of the street are
oftenest in trouble. The fact that their
movements could not be seen a couple
of hundred yards away never occurs

about keepings the blinds down are

MUCH is CLAIMED
FOR SUPER TYPE
Engine. Pat Under Severe Test, Said
to Have Proved Its
Qualifications.

As is always the case when an in
noration is placed before the world,
the new Hudson super six with its
powerful patented motor has become
an absorbing topic OF discussion from
one end of the country to the other.
This is true not only among automo-
bile engineers, who long have known
that six with vibration eliminated
would be the ideal motor, but among
automobile buyers and owners as
we'll.
The company has emphatically en-
phaSized the fact that there is nothing
experimental about the super six. BY
balancing in a new way the force that
manifest themselves within the motor
in such a manner as to eliminate
power waste the efficiency of the motor
has been increased so per cent. The
motor speed increased so per cent,
Through this discovery and invention,
on which a basic patent has been
granted by the Unit edStates, the
super six motor develops IS horse
power as compared with AZ horse
power in last years Hudson six,
though they are identical as to size.
Vibration Cut Down.
With any ordinary motor an IN
crease Of 50 per cent in motor speed
would cause such excessive vibration
as TO burn out the bearings, distort
ue crankshaft, and hasten engine
obstruction. But because of the lnVen-
uon OF balancing the forces that mani
