Dig Graves With Our Teeth

In the American Magazine writer whc had discarded all faith in the medical pro- fession cites the case of Luigi Cornaro to whom he acknowledges his debt of health
 Luigi" he says, twas an Italian noble man of the middle ages. He had money enough and leisure enough so that Satan found plenty of work for his idle hands during his first 70 years. About his for tieth birthday he fell sick and the doc not possibly live another year.
 Luigi died at 104, painlessly, 'as ono who passes into a sweet sleep in the words of his granddaughter"
 What gave him those extra S4 years of life? Not doctors--he had nothing to do with them. Not medicine. Not exer- else. Luigi simply stopped eating. He made a careful stury of himself to dis cover just how little food he could eat and still feel well. Out of this study he soon learned the valuable truth that most men dig their own graves with their teeth Most men die because they have so loadeed their bodies with excess food men dig their draves with their teeth. that their organs of elimination have broken under the strain. Most men are too much food. All this Luigi discovered and wrote in book called the Temper ate Life Aside from the fact that be- long to 8 family that grows stronger As 1t grows older owe to Luigi more than to anyone else the good health and happi- ness wrich I enjoy today at 30'

Most Wonderful Copper Mine

In the American Magazine IS an ac- count of what is perhaps the most won- derful copper mine in the world-because it appeared so poor that it was aban- doned by experts, while today it's stock has scared above the most sanguine hopes. This mine is at Bingham, Utah. It is a mountain of low grade porphyry and was developed by Daniel c. Jacklng, who has double the worlds copper out put.
 .He abandoned the old system of min ing by tunnels and slopes. bought steam shovels and set them to work stripping the mountain until they reached the ore. At times his steam shovels moved as much yardage as Goethals did at Pana- ma. He built a gigantic mill with ca pacity of So0e tons of ore a day. He built power plant with capacity of l2O0o horse power. lifted the output to 3000 0OO pounds of copper a rponth,, and reduced the costs to cents pound.
 And still his plans expanded He in creased the milling capacity to 20,000 tons a day. When the railroad could not guarantee cars and locomotives enough to handle the traffic. hs built a railroad that cost, in some stretches, more than $500, 900 miIe--built it for the sole purpose of insuring a continuous, adequate sup ply of ore for the mill. The stock of his mine rose from 8. N and s share to s20 $40, $70. 5000 share, scared far above the highest corresponding quotation even of the famous Calumet and Hecla. As write this: 1t stands at 107%. And all the time the co pper content of the ore he mined was decreasing steadily. even while the output and the profits grew"

PURCHASE OF CHEAP TIRES EXTRAVAGANCE SAYS JEWELL TAYLOR
Car Owners Rapidly Coming to
 Realization of This Fact

"There is probably no form of au- tomobile extravaganza greater than that practced in buying tires and a great deal of this extravaganza lies in the purchase of cheap tires that the dealer is sure are just as good as the well-made standard tires made by great factories with great organiza- tions behind them,' said Jewell Tay- Tor
 But car owners who study the tire question for themselves are rapidly coming to realize that the purchase of these cheap tires is waste of money that in the end the we'll made standard tire, whose initial cost is a little more, will show the lowest cost per mile and provide the most satis- factory riding These motorists are fast coming to see the difference between mileage as adjusted over the counter and mileage delivered on the road.
 "A case in point that has just come to the attention of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company is contained in a letter to the Missouri Ruralist from G. B. Fritsch, a prominent farmer and enthusiastic motorist of that state
 "Mr. Fritsch writes: Our car was purchased in June, 1914, and we have found it one of the best investments we have made. We often take a load of produce to town in the car, bring ing home load of feed and flour in exchange. It is business as we'll as a pleasure trip.
 "'The estimated cost including all expense is 8 cents mile. We have hardly any expense except for gaso- line and oil.
 Goodyear tires were on the car when purchased and they surely did wear well. One of the front tires ran 4013 miles without a puncture and our roads here are very rough and rocky. Since wearing out my first set of Goodyear tires I have had all kinds of tire trouble caused by experiment. ing with cheap tires.
 The manufacturers would guaran- tee a $500 mileage and the tires would not run more than 300 or 400 miles, but when it came to making adjust ments they made excuses instead.
 "So ] warn all inexperienced car owners to buy good tires and to buy them from reliable companies, then you will always enjoy your motor trips"

MOTOR CAR STAMINA
 DEFIES EMBARGOES
Cars in Better Condition After Being
 Driven 15O or 200 Miles

Every day that the present freight congestion and embargoes continue serves merely to prove to a further degree the ruggedness and stanch qualities of present day motor cars, was the expression by Charles Denegre, general manager of the Allen Motor company, in speaking of motor car deliveries.
 Several years ago such unprecedent- ed freight congestion would have caused the motor car manufacturers
 terrific hardships. but the present quality of the majority of the cars makes it possible for them to avoid
 this congestion by driving many of
 the machines to their final destina-
 ton.
 There are also a great many ma
 chimes being driven to points at some distance from the congested freight terminals and loaded on railroads away from the factory. so that they can be handled by the railroad with the usual dispatch.
 Not only are cars of present manu- facture able to weather the unusual road conditions which have existed this winter, but they are really delivered in better condition to the owner after the 150- or 200-mile drive, than if they
 had not had this additional test and run-in.
 Every day sees fair portion of the Allen production driven away from Fostoria under the direction of the various dealers and the success with which they navigate the wintry roads is every day proving an asset insteae of a detriment to the sale of Aller cars. The prospective buyer who is on the line of travel of these fleets of motor cars cannot help but real l ize the sturdy qualities which must bt put into a car to enable it to make such maiden trip.''

How to Get Foreign Trade

w. E. AugnlnDaugn, m Leslo s.
 The three agencies essential to & sue cessful world trade are production, transportation and distribution, and fa- vorable results cannot be accomplished without the assistance of the banker and aggressive government cooperation. What the United States most lacks to- day to hold the oversea trade thrust upon us by circumstances is ocean transpor- tation and government cooperation. Our manufacturers are ready and anxious to supply markets anywhere. Bankers all over the country have demonstrated their willingness to support enterprising ex- porters and producers and have, within the past two years, almost girdled the world with American financial institu- tions and Established the dollar as 8 standard of exchange. The year 1916 showed a credit balance in favor of the United States of s3,OS9OO0,o0O a total never before attained by any other na- ton in the history of the world Tn ad- dtion to this, we have purchased since the war nearly $2,OO00o0,O0O of our own securities held abroad, andShave absorbed nearly s2,50O0OO, GOO. of foreign securities which will become source of revenue to our Investors. The ability of ouf banks to handle this vast amount of trade re- fleets great credit upon our financial in- stitutions

 and keeps us 1t.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves be- hind certain amount of incombustibls material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal certain amount of indtgestible material, which if not completely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for tho millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left over waste, toxins and ptomain-like poisons arc formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't gef feel in9 right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with tsaspoonful~of limestone phon- phate In it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days ac- .cumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean. pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head : ache. colds, biliousness, constipation. others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache. rheuma tic stiffnesA or nave sour, gassy stomach after meals. are urged to get q quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and bsgtn practicing internal, sanitation. This will cost very little. but is suffic- lent to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject
 Remember. inside bathing is moro im- portant than outside bathing, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while tho bowel pores do.

BETTER CAR FOR LESS MONEY SLOGAN OF W|LLYS-OVERLAND
Factory Operations Show How This Is Possible,
 Says Bailey

The factories of the Willys- Overland company of Toledo, O., readily show why it is today possible to buy for less money a better car than could be purchased several years ago, in spite of the ad- vance in prices of all material said H. M. Bailey.
 Machinery of titanic proportions now cuts, pounds, drills and rivets automo- piles with marvellous accuracy and speed, replacing the slower and more tedious hand work of other years.
 On all sides the spectator at the Will lys-Overland factories is flanked by me- chanical units that have sprung into be- ing since the public's discovery of the numerous uses to which an automobile can be adapted.
 He sees big machines that stamp out pair of side rails from cold steel in three seconds. as though they were made of papier mache: he sees huge mechan- isms that, at the push of a lever, cut and press into shape steel radiator shells lenders, drip pans, in astounding quan- titles.
 "In the heavy machine department is an automaton grinding and boring away with a skill and precision surpassing that of the most ingenious artisan, and with the speed of a score of such workmen An output of the vastness of the Willys- Overland company has made imperative this invention.
 This machine removes A pounds of cast iron in 20 different operations on a fywheel, in less than 15 minutes.

EFFICIENCY IS THE
 CHALMERS KEYNOTE
Skilled Employees and Time Saving Machinery Make
 for Good Work

Probably the first demand of the av- craze motor car buyer, after he has satisfied himself as to the mechanical excellence of car, is concerned with riding comfort" said Chester Alexander of D. w. Young Motor Car company
 t.He is critical in his examination Of the upholstery. He wants to be sure that the cushions and seat-backs are covered with genuine leather and not cheap limitations that will wear out promptly. He demands a top that will tains that fit so snugly that they are absolutely bad-weather proof.
 "A trip through the various depart ments of big automobile plant where quality cars are turned out, reveals some interesting facts on the process of build ing comfort into g. car. The upholstery and top making departments perhaps best illustrate this feature.
 At the Chalmers plant we use three large COW hides in the leather work on every Chalmers Six. Awaiting their turn at the cutting tables are scores of great black hides, draped over huge racks. The average skin contains sS square feet of leather and no hides under 60 feet are accepted. Only large western cattle af- ford hides large enough for this work. All hides are carefully inspected and must be absolutely free from defect or blemish before they will pass muster.
 Ut is not practical to attempt to cut more than one hide in single opera ton because of the varying quality and difference in size of the hides. After the leather has been cut to the different pat terms, there is left large quantity of small scraps, no matter how carefully planned the cutting. As a single example for the efficiency methods in vogue at the plant, these leather patches are sold to button factories where they are used for covering buttons"

ENCLOSED CARS AND OPEN ROAD DRIVING
Franklin Sedan Makes a Happy Combination of
 Double Requirement

It is predicted by a great many experi-
 enced motorists that the use or enclosed
 cars will mark one of the greatest de- next few years. There would seem to
 be great deal of truth in this state ment, judging from the way the automo- bile show reflects. the tendency.
 There are very few people to whom the enclosed car does not appeal for winter use, yet any car they own must be a sum- mer car also. Outside of the question of
 suitable ventilation for hot weather condt- tions. which has apparently been worked out to the satisfaction of enclosed car users, the thing on which general use really hinges is the ability to make en- closed cars suitable for open road driving. It is generally considered that light weight must be depended upon to meet
 this requirement. With such construc- ton, the consumption of gasoline and the life of tires are brought within the range of touring car standards. Also, the shocks developed in going over the road are reduced to an extent that prevents undue strain on the mechanism and on the enclosed body especially.
 One manufacturer, the Franklin com pany, has done much in years past, through the development of its sedan type to bring out the advantages of light weight in enclosed car construc- ton. Ever since the first appearance of this car in 1914, it has been adapted by
 owners as an enclosed touring car in almost every case. While the first Frank lin sedan weighed only 2s5 pounds. then considered remarkably light, the present sedan, weighing 2610 pounds-less than the weight of many touring cars of the same size-illustrates that the possibilities of
 enclosed car weight reduction are not entirely exhausted.
 Franklin construction also discloses the influence of resiliency upon enclosed car road ability. Tho introduction of give
 in place of 'rigidity" further cushions the road shocks and driving strains that, unrelieved, tend to hold down the speed at which the enclosed car can be driven.

FORD BANQUET IS
 A GREAT SUCCESS
Prominent Men Speak at Dinner Given by Ford
 Efficiency Club

1 The Birmingham Ford Efficiency club held it's regular monthly banquet at the Tutwiler hotel Thursday night and had as i its guests Ford dealers from all parts of Alabama and adjoining states. The in- vited speakers were Douglas Barnes, as- sistant manager Ford Motor company. New Orleans La, and c. A. BrownelL advertising manager Ford Motor com psny, Detroit, Mich.
 After the last course had been served the meeting was called to order by w. M. Davis, president The first speaker called upon was MT. Barnes, who re- sponded with an extremely interesting talk on efficiency, which is responsible for the success of the Ford Motor com pany's business policies Among other points brought out by MT Barnes was the entire absence of labor troubles and the ideal working conditions provided by the company for it's employees. Enthusiastic appreciation of this last point was shown by the employees of the local branch. Following Mr. Barnes speech very in- teresting talks were made by Messrs. Bussey and Beaudry, Ford dealers in the city of Atlanta.
 The talk of c. A. Brownell, which was the center of interest of the evening. came at this point. His speech was fre- quently interrupted by outbursts of ap- plause from the most enthusiastic audi ence ever seen. His talk was interesting and instructive and he kaye a sketch of the man who organized the company in 1903 with capital stock of s2S, 900 and the production of only few cars year, and In this short time has increased the pro- duction to one automobile every 10 sec onds and his company now represents an investment of several hundred millions of dollars.
 Mir. Brownell says that only glance at the character of Henry Ford will re- veal the source of the broad business principles characteristic of the company. MT. Brownell complimented the spirit of the meeting and expressed his opinion that the Alabama Ford agents were the livest bunch of automobile dealers he had ever seen.
 Among other speakers of prominence were Messrs L. G. Adams, Mobile: c. E. Ingalls,. Montgomery; W. G. Patterson, Montgomery; R. J. Barr, Troy; w. A. McQuagge Mariana Fla; R. B. Stalls worth, New Orleans; Joseph Dorschel. Detroit and E. B. Crawford, Birming- ham, Messrs. Adamson and Ruggles, manager and assistant manager respec- lively, of the local branch, gave short talks on things of interest to the dealers Birmingham is to be congratulated upon having entertained bunch of real live wires, as all of them having absorbed the

STURDY CAD|LLACS
 STILL IN SERVICE
Company Receives Many Letters Telling of Early
 Models Still in Service

Hardly week passes but the Cadillac Motor Car company is given the oppor- tunity to buy in one of it's early models Usually the writer expresses the belief that his car, built dozen or more years ago, must be among the last of it's race and feels sure the company would like to have it as curio.
 The first model of the Cadillac had a one-cylinder engine, and hundreds of these cars are running well today It
 is true that not all of them are used to carry passengers, though not long ago the company received a letter from a Minnesota farmer who was still using one, after 10 years of service, It was a second hand car when he bought it in 1905 Many of these old cars have been turned into delivery wagons and are run ming as faithfully as ever.
