We used to sell lot of cars in days gone by in
simply stating the price. -asss-+svxe~sss~
Now it is all different.
People are buying cars more intelligenty.
They want what they call ability. There are too
many cars that look alike and have the same
price tag on them The only thing that separates
them is ability. There all the difference in the
wide world between cars when you look at them
this way
One car is sluggish like ploughing horse.
Another has got a light foot and gets under wa,
without taking a quarter mile to get into high.

FIFTY BOATS IN
RIVER SPECTACLE
Twenty Thousand People Line Rock
Island Shore to See Centennial
Water Event.

More than fifty crafts of the Rock
Island and Davenport boat clubs par
ticipated in illuminated water pag-
eantry on the river last evening,
which was the center of the evenings
centennial program. Both banks of
the river were thronged with crowd,
estimated in Rock Island at 10000,
which was treated with a fine spec
tacle.
Decorated in gay streamers, jap
anese lanterns, and burning red
torches, the flotilla formed on the
Iowa shore at o'clock. The boats
gave a quaint and artistic setting to
the scene, as they bobbed along over
the water Headed by the command
ers Of the two fleets, the little ships
proceeded up stream, close to the
Davenport shore, as far as the govern
ment bridge, crossed to the Rock Is
land bank, and running with the
current, quickly slipped past the
crowds gathered on the levee. As tho
feet passed close to this bank, it was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Reaching the moorings of the local
boat club, the boats once more crossed
the stream, and followed the same
route for second turn.

available regular troops on the border
and the state militia today called i'm

Life of Gun is 1880 Shots.

Paris.-The number of shots that
can be fired from. one Of the French
3-inch guns before it is worn out has,
in at least one instance, been found to
be as high as 1880, according to the
actual count by young artilleryman
who has sent these figures in from the
front. While the three-incher was
known to be a robust cannon, the the
oretical estimate before the war was
that a thousand shots would probably
be the limit of its efficiency.

The second of six articles, written
especially for the Tribune by the fam.
Gus dancer, hailed by public and crit
les as the m0dern-day Venus and the
"PavlOwa of America"
Don't be a slumper If you would
have a perfect figure.
Many women, and men, too, have
spoiled perfect bodies by not know.
ing how to stand, how to sit, how to
lie.
Rare are the figures of growing
girls and adult women that cannot be
improved by simple rules.
And the first Of these is keep your.
self up tall.
I do not say, keep yourself up
straight" Most people when told to
stand up straight, throw themselves
into an unnatural position.
1t is not hard to learn to stand
correctly. Here is the recipe: Place
book, cushion or bag of something
on your head and balance it. Note
the exact position of your shoulders,
chest and back. Practice this posi-.
ton until you naturally assume 1t.
In sitting correctly, you take the
same position from the hips up as
you do when standing correctly. II
you cannot get this position, balance
something on your head when you
sit down. You will find you will al.
ways bend forward and backward
from the hips.
Correct lying is practical by an ex-
traordinarily small number OF people.
Don't use pillow or pillows under
your head r.r-- .'.-...
Pillows interfere with resting and
relaxing the back. They cause the
neck and shoulders to be rounded.
The place for a pillow is under the
small Of the back. A small pillow
In that position enables the back to
rest and relax in all it's curves-its
proper curves; stretches the abdomen
and keeps it from slumping.d Pc. #.t
OF all things, slumping is the ugli-
est and most injurious to health.
To walk correctly assume the cor
rect standing position and swing the
legs from the hips.
Notice the graceful carriage of for
eign women in this country who re-
tain the custom of carrying burdens
on their heads. If you are not in a
position to see them, put book, cush-
ion or bag on your head and notice
In mirror your own graceful car

However, if sweetening is desired 1t
may be added when the fruit is to be
eaten. ...
"This same method is good for can
ming with syrups containing varying
amounts of sugar. A very thin syrup
may be used if the housewife does
not wish to dispense entirely with
sugar.
"Apples may also be canned, for
applesauce, pie filling, etc, using
plain water instead of sugar syrup.
Department specialists have repeat

the case of apples, jars should be

The department, therefore, advises
housewives to consider carefully the

high and fruit low, before determin-
ing to wait or not to put up their
usual pantry supply.

, exact weight of your baby, without
exposing him to drafts.
The weight of the average baby at
birth is about seven pounds, boys be-
ing slightly heavier than girls. Still
a healthy baby may weigh as little
as five or six pounds or on the other
hand as much as 10 or II pounds at
birth.
In the first few days after birth
there may be slight falling of in
weight, but in four to ten days this
loss is regained and from then on the
baby should show constant gain.
But baby that gains too rapidly
is not always healthy. The ideal in
baby feeding is not to produce fat
baby, but proportionately and well
nourished one.
The aim is to grow muscle, bone
blood and nerve tissues, not merely
fat.
Every baby has right to fresh
air and pure milk.
