when my little girl was baby she had
patches of eczema on her face and over her
knees. The breaking out was like very
tiny red pimples at first and soon changed
to dry scaly crlIsts, giving very rough
appearance, and causing her much dis
comfort, and | kept her hands In bags to
keep her from scratching.
II tried several kinds of salves and liquids
which did not benefit her and she looked
worse Then began to use Cuticura Soap

MAXWELL MAKES
Price REDUCTION
Touring Car and Roadster
Cut to $5o5 and $3.50,
Respectively.

Undoubtedly the most interesting an
nounosment for 1911. with regard to auto
mobiles IN the lower-priced field, comes
from the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc,
of Detroit This announcement Is that
the price on their touring car and road
ster Is materially lowered The touring
car is reduced from 1855 5to 1886; the road
ster from $685. to $50.
IN this defnite announcement Of a
substantial reduction in price, the Max
wen Company also announces that there
will be no changes IN the car. This con-
Arms all previous announcements that
the Maxwell car IL now a standardized
product. Walter E. Flanders, president
and general manager Of the Maxwell Com
pany, and the able corps OF engineer
ing and manufacturing experts he has
gathered around him are convinced that
their product has attained such a uniform
degree OF excellence that the necessity
for radical changes IN design and con-
structlon has been eliminated.
The change In Maxwell prices became
effective July l.
In explaining the reason for the bis
reduction IN the price Of Maxwell cars
the manufacturers declare that increased
production made It possible.
Hundred Thousand Cars for 1917.
The manufacturing cost per car has
been greatly reduced by our increased
production" said Mr.. Flanders. "OuI
plants at Detroit, Dayton and Newcastle
have been taxed to their capacity to
supply the orders OF our dealers. We
have made arrangements for the manu-
facture Of 10000 cars for this year and we
know from the enthusiasm with which
our 1917 announcement was received that
this number will be disposed OF easily.
Certainly no other car in this field
can point to the consistent performance
behind the 1915 Maxwell. This car has
given such excellent satisfaction under
all conditions that We would not feel
justified to change 1t in any particular" "
The same manufacturing policy will
obtain in the Maxwell plants, the stand
ard Maxwell chassis being used for fve
different body designs. These designs in
clude a streamline five-passenger tour
ing car, two-passenger roadster, a two
passenger cabriolet, a six-passenger town
car and a six-passenger sedan.
The sedan is the newest Maxwell model,
having been added to the line early in
the year. It Is primarily a family car
and there has been very satisfying de-
rnand for 1t.

It is Described as follows: The per former is perched high up in the air, while about 8 feet beneath him and 15 feet away is a chute about yard in width Anxiously the spectators watch him as he makes his prepara- itions to dive. He is seen to steady himself and then gradually bend his body forward, suddenly he throws himself head downward, his hands above his head as though preparing to strike the water, but no water is beneath him. Downward he shoots, with a rapdity so great that the eye can hardly keep pace with his move ments. Faster and faster, obeying the laws of gravitation. he comes. Now he is just above the chute. now he strikes the fiat surface and dashes head first down the steep incline faster than a mile a minute.
