"SoME COMPARISONS
"Winston-Salem Is supplying
one fourth OF all the chewing and
smoking tobacco consumed in
the United States, besides ex-
porting vast quantities to foreign
lands. This statement Is taken
from the report Of the Commls-
sloner of Internal Revenue for
the first quarter of the present
fiscal year and from private ad-
vices from Washington, as 10 the
second quarter, which ended De.
cember 31st, last.
"Your city is making one sew

chewing and smoking tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes and snuff
manufactured IN the United
States. Your manufacturers
are paying on an average about
S37, 900 day revenue taxes to
the government and the amount
Is increasing from month to
month. When your government
building, much the haudsomest
in the State, was completed last
July at cost of S250,OOO your

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system IS the alarm system
OF the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health Is ebbing, when strength is declin,
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
The whole system responds to its reiresh-
jug touic force. II is free from alcohol.

For a time there was much discussion

manufacturers even refused to apply
these devices to their cars. believing
that the additional complications Incl

However. the opposite happened. The
great value and convenience of electric

HOW 10 SAVE GASOLINE.
Herbert Chase Tells the NOtOrist
What 10 DO.

In an interesting article on tho fuel
situation in the cub journal. Herbert
Chase, chief engineer of the \. G. A..
points out "A few ways In which the
motorist can save much gasolene. He
says:
While discussing the subject Of fuel
consumption 1t is well 10 consider a fact
we'll recognized by all automobile en-
gineers that the fuel consumption Of the
average car Is fully 2J per rent. higher
than II need he II the operator would see
that the carbureter is set and kept In
adjustment. n all car owners
would give this fact the consideration IL
deserves not only would their own bills
be over but the average consumption
of cars in general would be so much de-
that the smaller demand shoull
operate to decrease the retail price.
Another prolific source OF waste in
fuel Is that which results from undue
friction in the mechanism OF the car.
notably at the brakes. In nine cars out
OF ten the brakes drag to a considerable
extent. while those OF the other 10 per
cent. are seldom in such perfect adjust
ment that they do not drag at any point.
The resultant friction not only increases
the fuel consumption by making neces-
safy the development Of more power in
the motor but also means more rapid
wearing out OF the brake lining and
brake drums.
care should be taken 20 sec that tho
compression of the motor il not allowed

carbuS on the valves or to worn or loose

simple precautions the fuel consumption
Of tho average car can be decreased from

Wants to Drive Bitten Benz
at Speedway and Surpass
Burman's Work.

With the opening Of the automobile
racing season only a few weeks of, race
goers are wondering who will pilot
the famous Bitten Benz car, in which
the late wild Bob" Burman established
the worlds record in 1911 at Daytona,
Fla, when he drove the old war horse
a mile in o.25.+o. This performance has
never been eQualled. It is doubtful IL
there is a car In the country which
might be considered a dangerous con-
tender to the Burman mount Of five
years ago.
Barney Oldfield was the first driver
TO bring The car into prominence. cap
turing a worlds record with II by me-
gotiating a mile In 0.27.2s in 1909 over
the Daytona course.
In Burman's entire career az a race
driver he never feared for his Benz
record except during the season Of 1912.
wien "a 800 horsepower Mercedes and
a Fiat OF the same power were built to
lower the Burman mark. The Mercedes
failed to accomplish its purpose when II
and the big Fiat fell short in a trial at
the mile record at Saltburn-b y-the-Sea,
England.
The Bitten Benz Is now included in
the stable Of Harry y. Hardness, a
wealthy race driver. who has moved his

are current in racing circles that Hark-
ness himself will attempt to lower the
mile mark with the famous Benz.
