A man will devote many hours of labor and part of his income to keep ing his auto in superb condition; a youngster guards carefully the mech anism of his bike or some particular toy which is his. But I dare say that not one in every 100 in such a group gives any real thought to keeping his body-the most marvellous piece of ma- chinery in the world--in first-class working order.
 If a bolt comes loose in mans auto if cog shifts out of place or there is rattle under the hood or the body of the car. the owner gets busy at once and fixes it. He realizes that such a trifling fault. if permitted to exist. may in short time put the entire car out of commission.
 But if that man. who is so careful of his automobile, finds that there is a slight disorder within the body, does he get busy at once in his efforts to locate the fault-and then does he take measure to remedy it? Oh, no.
 I've got little trouble right now he will tell you. but I'll be all right in little while"
 So he permits the disorder to exist, the trouble becomes chronic, the entire mechanism of the body is affected and soon that man is physical wreck.
 Machinery, if properly cared for, would continue in fine condition through it's guaranteed lifetime On vin f,.;fl ,l; come in the workings of that machin- cry. The man who owns it can correct lit permanently by getting at it before the disorder spreads. If neglected, it affects the entire car and the man must send it to an expert to be re- paired. The expert charges him a big fee. Sometimes if the machinery has been neglected too long, the trouble has communicated itself to all parts of the car, even the expert is power less to cure it. And so the machine must go to the automobile graveyard.
 So it is with the human body. If a man guards his health carefully, dis ease cannot come to him and he is assured of long and happy life. But If he neglects his health, minor ail- ments will come. If taken care of at once, they can be corrected. If neglected, the illness spreads to other parts of the body. An expert physi- clan must be called in then and his fees are large. Sometimes even the most eminent medical men are pow erless to aid if the disordered body has been neglected too long, And it's owner is doomed to an early grave When man buys an auto, the first thing he does is to devote himself to the study of it's entire mechanism. He wants to know his car-wants to know what to do to keep it in perfect work : ing order and also he wants to learn just what remedies to apply if it con tracts some slight ailment That auto
