DANGER ALL DRIVERS FEAR
Bad Skid Gets on the Nerves of Ever the Coolest and Most Skill
 fui Men.

Ask the average motorist what he fears most in the daily handling oi his machine and the answer will be "akid. ding" for. if there be one thing more than all others that the motorist fears, it is that sickly sinking of ones in. terior that comes with the sudden and entire loss of control inevitably ac. companying a bad skid.
 The reckless, the foolish, and the in. competent pedestrian can be guarded against; even the man who loses him. self in a brown study in the middle of a busy street. and the old lady who fiutters back and forth in the path of a car like a befuddled hen can be taken care of with the brakes.
 But, with skid once started, only providence and the skiilful hand at the wheel are of any avail. Like the pedestrian, who, apparently, drops from nowhere in particular plumb in front of your car. the side slip is al. most entirely unexpected. but. unlike the former, 1t Is not always unavoid- able. The case is distinctly one for preventives. and not for remedies. There is no remedy for a bad skid but to patch up the damage and gath CT together your shaken nerves as best you may.

REsPoNsIelE FOR eETTER-HIGH
 WAY AGITATION.
Growing Number of Motor Trucks In Operation Has Made Improve.
 ment Inevitable.

In an address before the Reading (Pa) chamber of commerce. Arthur H. Blanchard. professor of highway en- sineering at Columbia university. N. Y.. claimed it is the motor car which has been responsible for the steady improvements in nearly all roads and for the continual agitation for improved highways. In speaking of the highways to be found in for eign countries, the French and Eng fish roads were greatly praiseo by the speaker. France owes its splen did roads to the efficiency of its engineers. he said. In England. he stated. the roads are good, partly because of the physical condition of the country. which make road building and main tenance easy.
 He referred to the growing numbef of motor trucks on the public roads. as follows: Years ago an average width of a road was considered good if 1t was seven or eight feet, but now the motor truck-the large rumbling three and four-ton motor truck-is here. and here to stay. No eight-foot road Is adequate now. The highways cannot be made too wide. To ignore the motor vehicle in the building of roads is utter negligence. Some large trucks have a width of 100 inches. In building a state road the minimum width should be 20 feet
 The day is not far distant when the motor truck Gin some states.-Editor) will convey freight almost exclusively if the haul is not more than 75 or 100 miles. For this enormous motor traf- fic of the future, allowances must be made in the construction of our high ways. A railroad must be relaid with new rails. to replace the worn-out ones, and, in the same manner, the roads must be kept fin repair. In 1914 there were 100 notorious routes in New York state outside of New York city. This number is increasing daily" Professor Blanchard stated, in conclusion, that Columbia university was the first American educational in- stitution which created a chair and a department of highway engineering Orange Judd Farmer

HAD BANNER SEASON
Automobile Manufacturers Re- port Big Business for the
 Year 1915.
HARD TO SUPPLY DEMAND
Factories Were Pushed to Their Ut most Capacity to Fill Orders, and Prospects for the Coming Sea
 son Are Fully as Good.

The manner in which the American public has consumed the largest out put of motor cars ever turned out by the American automobile manufac- turers has been the marvel of the 1915 industrial year. Practically every large factory increased its production from 10 to even as high as 100 per cent and even then manufacturers have been unable to keep up with or ders and during the winter are main taining midseason production.
 The 1915 automobile selling season has been the greatest our industry has ever ex>erienced," said the sales and advertising manager of a large cor poration.
 The demand for cars has been un- precede1ted and it keeps us worrying all the time to handle the trade. We increase our output and then the deal CTS and distributors flood us with or ders and we find ourselves in the same position again-our production always behind our orders.
 For instance, during the last quar- ter of 1915 we produced and sold 26 per cent more cars than for the same quarter of 1914, which formerly held the record for sales in October, Novem- Der and December. The last quarter of the year is usually about the slowest of the entire season. yet, in this quar- ter of 1915 we beat any quarter in the history of our business up to 1912.
 And with all our increased pro- duction we have not yet been able to catch up with the demand. Our or ders now on the books for immediate delivery are 100 per cent greater than at this time a year ago. This de- spite the fact that we have been keep ing up midseason production in what were formerly lean months. The pros poets for the spring season were never so good"

HOLLAND NOW MOTHERS
 ABOUT 10000 BELCIANS

In Holland there are now four large camps. for thousand persons, as against seven hundred thou private houses rented by the government and some by private subscriptions where people of the better class. who are. however. penniless as the others. are being cared for. says e New York Herald correspondent.
 The Dutch government pays all their expenses- It costs 14 cents . day to feed the growns-ups in the private houses they cost 2s cents and 20 cents. respectively Their clothing and school. ing is an extra expense. and has so far cost ap- proximately $5500o. The building of the various camps totaled S620.000. and e special fund for the eventual restoring of homes now equals S4O,000
 visited one of these camps at Gouda and was most enthusiastically greeted. America is a pass word that assures one a welcome wherever Bel gians are. There are sixteen hundred persons there now-young and old, men and women. and many, many children. Over them all spirit of calm seems to have fallen. They have found . temporary home, an interval of quiet, between last years sudden horrors and the years of toll that lie ahead of them when they shall have re- turned to their ruined. barren lands again.
 There are faces sad with the sorrow of loved ones lost in the war-anxious ones who have not hea-' for months from husbands and lovers. and who now not whether they still Hve-some who are ruined and who know that when the is over they must start afresh their hard struggle for existence. and there some, the older ones. who have that saddest most hopeless look of all. who know that for them life holds naught but sorrow and poverty

4 GLASS OF SALTS WILL
 END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
ommends Only Salts, Particularly If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean. by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which re moves the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activ. fly. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, SC we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharma cist about four ounces Of lad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- Jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this. also keep up the water drinking. and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.-Adv.

There was woman. seventy-six years old whom I noticed especially. She sitting In one of the workrooms, where there were about three hundred women: some were making lace some making clothes on sewing machines given by the Rockefeller fund; other were knitting and as I came into the room 1 heard the strains of the "Brabanconne" the Belgian national anthem They singing 1t while they worked-young and old-and their voices rose in unison and the beautiful words Belgium ever must be free. rang out clear in this little world of outcasts among these women who have. many of them lost all. save their patriotism, l caught sight of the old woman. She was making lace. and her toll worn hands, her deep-lined face and the un- utterable sadness of her eyes made picture un- forgettable and impressive.
 The children look happy and healthy fin the nursery, where the wee ones are: fin the kinder garten and in the schoolrooms, where sweet faced nuns. whose convents have been burnt be- fore their very eyes, have taken up their work here. and in this strange, new environment are teaching the exiled boys and girls to take up tho tasks which will soon fall upon their young shoulders.
 All the work of the camp is done by the refu- gees themselves and there are various work shops and classrooms besides. One very inter- esting feature is the work done under the guij- ance of the English Society of Friends
 They have furnished all the material and are now teaching the men in the camps to construct portable houses. At Gouda there 60 of these now finished, and they are delightful little homes consisting mostly of two rooms, a living room and big bedroom. divided into two or more com partments. The houses are painted white out side. with green roofs. and inside they are paint ed light gray. All the furniture has also been made in the camp shops, and as each man fu- ishes one entire house he is allowed to live in it with his family.

Life Is not merely to live. but to live we'll. eat well. digest we'll. work well. sleep we'll. look well. What glorious condition to attain. and yet how very easy it Is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise. split ting headache. stuiy from a cold. foul tongue. nasty breath. acid stomach. can. instead. feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone. whether ailing. sick or well. should. each morning. before breakfast. drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleans ing sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The &C., tion of hot water and limestone phos- pnste on an empty siu1oacn is wonder fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour Concentrations. gases. waste and acidity and gives one a splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you arc enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both. cred with constipation. bilious spells, stomach trouble. rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disor. ders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any store that handles drugs which will Iost very little. but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of .n- ternal sanitation.-Adv.

 cards and novelties used in the United States came from there before the war.
 Of late years America has taken the lead In the making of valentines We supply our own market. and export large quantities to all parts Of the world. Tn New York is located one or the largest supply houses in the world, and a large force is kept busy throughout the year to meet ske great demand.
 The principal types of valentines are the comic, the oldfashioned lace and the novelty. the latter being the most expensive. The most popular appear to be the comic which are photoengraved and printed in color in the usual way.
 Special machines are required in the production Of the lace valentines. The novelty valentines gre mostly made by hand. One of the pictures shows the machine which makes the paper lace. Taere are two rolls. one a die. and the other a ua,rix of the desired design. The wide paper ribbon runs between the rolls and is cut by them brush bears against the matrix roll. cleaning on any adhering bits of paper. Another brush bears against the ribbon. removing the cuttings from the lace Before entering the rolls ,,e paper is chalked. thus preventing the lace from sticking to them and being torn The lace pzper fs fastened to embossed cards with paper hinges small handoperated machine makes the hinges It creases long strips of paper by folding them in and out. and from these strips inc hinges are cut on desired The cards to rhicI, the lace patterns are attached are printed in large sheets with suitable design and then they are embossed. The embossed sheets are then rsssed on to the folding table. where they are folded in sets of three and then fed into the cutting machine which is provided with scalloped edges The hinged lace frames are then glued on to these cards. forming the o.dfashoned lace valentines which find wide favor.
