S3O,OOO,OOO Worth Of
Material FOrtifieS Overland
Against Auto Shortage

Those big companies which forsaw
the possible shortage Of materials due
to the astonishing demand for motor
cars, and fortified themselves against
that shortage are eongratulating them
selves today on the fact that they were
not caught totally unprepared to cope
with present market conditions.
The Willeys-Overland Company, the
second largest automobile manufaetur-
ing organization in the world and the
greatest producer of medium and high
priced cars, was perhaps one of the
least affected of all by this upheaval
in the material market While it is
true that all quantity producers of
motor cars felt the sudden change, the
Toledo concern had taken the preeau-
ton to protect itself in, a measure
against just sueh-an emergency.
Long before prices started to shoot
! skyward, The WHY'S Overland Com
pany had tucked away in it's store
rooms and sub-cellars huge quantities
of raw materials. Today it has more
than $3Q,000,000 worth of parts on
hand, fully fifty per cent of which was
bought at before war-prices.
This preparedness policy on the part
/ of the Toledo concern is responsible,
] it is said, to large degree for the
high standard of quality which the
/ factory has been able to maintain in
its 1917 production, without any ex-
traordinary advance in its selling
prices.
/ And although material such as steel
is hard to get at any price these days,
every carload that arrives at the Over
land plant is as rigidly inspected as it
was when conditions were normal In
order to protect itself and Overland
and Willys-Knight owners, the com
pany employs staff of expert chem
lists and metallurgists to test carefully
each batch of raw material delivered
for use at the factory.
These chemists know that a certain
proportion of carbon, together with
certain quantities of other clements.
when united with pure iron produces
"a steel that will stand certain
strains. They also know that if the
proportion of nickel, manganese,
chromium or other elements vary even
so much as fraction of one per cent,
the steel will be either too weak or too
brittle.
If the samples undergoing inspection
come up to the required specifications
and pass successfully the tests of the
metallurgical and chemical laborator-
les, the cars from which the samples
were taken are accepted by the com
pany, If the samples come through
without an O. X. the car ore ears are
rejected on the spot.
Some of the scales used in the Over
land laboratories measure accurately
to one ten -thousandth of a gramm.
The slightest defect in physical struc-
ture Of a sample of steel can be de
tected by microscopes that magnify
many thousands of diameters.

saner and more helpful diversions, and
a more sympathetic social life. A ma
tion without it's sane pleasures is hope
less Therefore, it is far from logical
to consider the so called pleasure car
OF today as an added luxury.
If production increases at the aver
age rate maintained for the past five
years which is unlikely, due to great
er manufacturing problems and to in
ability of the selling and distributive
branches to keep pace with greatly
augmented manufacturing volumc-the
point of saturation will not be reached
for five, six or even seven years. And
some of the leaders in the industry
predict that it win be a matter of ten
or twelve years
All signs point to a cOntinued\de-
velopment for several years to come
for Just how long it is difficult to say,
but as in many other new fields, limi-
tations and curtailment of expansion,
arbitrarily predicted, are merely evi-
denee OF shortened vision of unfa-
miliarity with all of the facts.
1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasingly
hard to secure. The condition is not
serious, nor likely to be. The makers
of medium and high priced ears over
come the difficulty by an advance in
their selling prices. The manufacturers
of low priced cars build in much great
er quantities, are protected by contracts
until the end of the automobile year,

that the lives of thousands of persons
might be saved, who now die every year
from pneumonia, grippe, consumption,

The real and true cause which started
their diseases was nothing more nor less

by lack of iron in the blood

renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at as he was careworn and nearly

Iron miracle of vitality and his face
beaming with the buoyancy of youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it. no matter how much
or what you eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you any good.
You don't get the strength out of it, and
as consequence you become weak. pale
and sickly-looking, just like plant try

II You are not strong or well YOU owe
IL to yourself to make the following test
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired
Next take two five-grain tablets of or
binary nuxated iron three times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then test
your strength again and see how much
you have gained. I have seen dozens of
nervous, rundown people who were all

and endurance and entirely rid them

| New York, n. Y.-It is conservatively
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taking
NuXated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from it's use both by
doctors and laymen, that numbec OF
physicians in various parts of the country
have been asked to explain why they
prescribe it SO extensively. and why it
apparently produces so much better re-
suits than were obtained from the old
forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters re-
ceived are given below:
DR.. King, New York physician and
author says: There can be no vigorous
iron men without iron. Pallor means
anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency.
The skin of anaemic men and women is
pale. The flesh fiabby. The muscles lack
tone, the brain flags and the memory fails
and they often become weak nervous,
irritable, respondent and melancholy.
When the iron goes from the blood CT
women, the roses go from their cheeks.
In the most common foods of America,
the starches, sugars, table syrups, can
dies, polished rice, white bread, soda
crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti.
tapiOca, sage, farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found. Re
filming processes have removed the iron of
Mother Earth from these impoverished
foods, and silly methods of home cookery,
by throwing down the waste-pipe the
water IN Wnlch our vegetables are cooked
is responsible for another grave iron loss
Therefore. if you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to ripe old age
you must supply the iron deficiency in
your food by using some form of organic
iron, lust as you would use salt when
your food has not enough salt
DR.. E. Sauer. Boston physician who
has studied widely in both this country
and in prominent European Medical In
stitutions says: "As l have said a hun

Man Is a millionaire many times over
in the possession of blood cells. Woman
IS not quite SO rich, for scientists have
proved that the normal number of red
blood cells in adult men is five million; in
woman four and one half million to the
square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health but in disease becomes extreme
ly irregular in shape. Every one can be
in perfect health and possess the millions
of rich red blood corpuscles if he only
knows how to go about it. DR.. Pierce, Of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, ad-
vises every man and woman to purify the
blood by observing natures laws. In the
first place, II your digestion is faulty, and
the food you eat is not properly assim-

about this in natures own way. Years

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
