COMFY A SCRATCH"

1t Is a matter of every day expert
ence that the countless little cuts and
scratches which every person receives
during a lifetime almost always heal
without trouble, no matter Whether
treated or not.
1t is also we'll known that occa-
sionally these small injuries and more
often the larger ones do not do well.
The wound becomes red and pain
full, 1t throbs, the edges swell and
finally matter develops. This matter
is called 'pus."
When the matter escapes the pain
ceases and the cut gradually heals.
At other times the redness rapidly
spreads, the swelling increases, pain
becomes worse, tender kernels form in
the groin or armpit and In a short
time the entire arm or leg, as the case
may be, becomes involved.
Taken at this stage prompt and
vigorous surgical treatment may pro-
duce a cure, but if neglected the con-
dition steadily grows worse and some
times ends in death.
1t was formerly believed by most
people that these u~nfavorable termin-
atoms were due to catching cold" IT
the wound.
1t Is now known that the 1nflamma-
| ton of wounds is always due to the
presence of bacteria or pus germs. a.
they are commonly called.

Questions and Answers
Q. How are diseases spread by
sneezing?
A. In coughing, sneezing, laughing
and to a certain extent in talking
small droplets of liquid are sent out
into the air. They may fly to a dis
lance Of several feet three to nine),
and some of them are SO very fine that
they are said to float in the air as long
as 20 minutes. When a person is suf-
fering from a disease like diphtheria
pneumonia or consumption, these
droplets are, of course, filled with the
germ of the disease. One should moi
stand near a person who is coughing
and q sick person should hold a hand
kerchief or a paper napkin before his
face When he coughs.
Q. What are diphtheria carriers?
A. Investigation indicates that wher
diphtheria is in a city or town two OF
three healthy persons in every thou
sand carry virulent dlphtheria germs
In their threats. In these persons
the body is holding the germs In check
SO that they cannot multiply enough
to produce the disease. but it is no
able to kill them out entirely. TIL
difficulty of controlling the disease Il
still further increased by the fact tina
there seems to be harmless races O.

By the REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

During a recent evangeliStic cam
paign the entire new testament was
read in public in a single day, begin
ming at 4 a. M. and continuing until
10 p. m.
1t required forty-eight readers in
relays of from twenty to thirty min
utes each. No doubt hundreds of
people heard more of the Bible read
on that day than during all the rest
Of their lives.
This was a good thing to do, but
there's a better way to read the Bible
for most of us.
It required about 1900 years to
write the Bible, and the sixty-six
books which it contains consist of
history. poetry. prophecy, law and
several other kinds of literature. For
whatever else the Bible Is, 1t should
be regarded as literature, which
means that it should be read and
especially studied like any other
book, or collection of books.
Aside from reading the Bible for
purely devotional purposes, when it
is read in brief sections-and usual
passage read, the better-the Bible
should be read in its chronological
order-that is. the portions written
| first should be read first.
Perhaps you would read the his
| torical section first, then the books
of the prophets who lived during
that particular period, then the
| psalms or other devotional books
| Sometimes you would select merely a
| chapter in certain OF the prophets OIL
the psalms
| In this way you would get a COM
pletely connected picture of what
| happened at a certain period In
history, and naturally 1t would make
the entire study far more interesting
than the grasshopper method mos
of us employ in our study of the
Bible.
1t would be a most fascinating
thing to make the chronological.
| chart covering the entire period OIL
Bible history, laying 1t out in sec
tons and marking down the variou:
great events and the years in which
they happened, and locating on this

prophets and kings who lived during
each OF these periods, and the names
Of the most important rulers wh(
reigned In related or nearby coun,

RHYMES

Cheer Up Again.

We say the prices now are high, so high were often
stricken dumb; we shudder when we go to buy; cheer up, the
worst is yet to come! The shoemen say there are no hldes'
and daily leather grows more rare; and so the price OF foot-
wear slides ten parasangs up in the air. The clothiers say there
is no wool, the sheep are dead and on the ice; it takes some
influence and pull to get a suit at any price. The bakers say
there is no -four, and so the children have no bread, and we
are weeping every hour because our hopes are lying dead. The
BARRIERS say there are no barbs, and we must let our Wh1skers
grow until they spread like noxous YARDS, and wave and wig
gle to and fro. The grocer says he cannot groce for less than
ninetyfve percent; he sees the sheriff drawing close when
profits sink, is his lament. And so things go, from day to day,
the whole blamed world is out Of plumb but let us all be bntne
and gay; cheer up, the worst is yet to come. The worst Will
come, and then the slump, the big reaction will appear; and
we will carry to the dump the pirate and the %profteer,

jELL TRUCK TIRES . 0N PAST RECORDS

plg business houses are giving close ttentiol tothe real value of the auto mobile tires they buy for their trucks nd are relying more on the statistics developed by actual use than on the nance preference of some one in their fmploy who does the buying.
 Some time ago a large dry goods fouse in the middle west, whose largo lumber of delivery wagons made Il imperative that tire costs be kept at he lowest possible minimum, sent a uestionnaire tO e score of large de- tartment stores in various cities of he country asking very poined ques- flons about the kind of tires used by Nther houses. the methods of figuring ire costs, and the results obtained.
 up to the time the questionnaire was ent out, salesmen of the big Hobby ords of the United States Tire com any had failed to make any impress ion on this firm. But when the ,nsWers to the questionnaire were in. he buyer opened negotiations with an sency handling Hobby Cords and ave instructions that as fast as new res were needed, hobby Cords should 70 installed.
 rms buyer stated that carefully kept ost records in a majority of the big tores with which he communicated nowed such a preponderance of proof
 tavor of the superiority of the 'oooy Cords that he as an intelligent uslness man had no course left open ut to use them as equipment on his elivery trucks.

The car is artistically decorated with the cCmpany's name and trademark and is proving to b. an extremely valuable advertisement. The results with the first car have been so satisfactory that the Fisher company has ordered another similarly equipped.

We know from reports which are constantly reaching us, that the feeling is wide spread that the man who works under Cadillac traditions and standards is received the best training America af- lords. All this, of course, has it's ef feet on the fineness and the accuracy with which all Cadillac operations, even to those which appear to be tri- fling, are executed.
 Tt is not too much to say that every department and every man in every department, adheres to code in which excellence of work is the aim and the ideal.

CADILLAC GRAF TSMEN
 HOLD JOBS FUR YEARS

No one realizes better, or even so clearly, as manufacturers themselves, the great value of a factory organi- zation that remains intact year after year. Consequently, manufacturers gether, after they have been paintak- ing trained. In this respect, the rec ords show that the Cadillac Motor Car company occupies particularly ad- vantageous position.
 The Cadillac record of employees loyalty is unique in the automobile industry. which has been marked throughout it's relatively short history by frequent changes. Quite the op- posite is shown in this instance. There is at least one workman whose con- tinuous employment antedates the be- ginning of the company itself He is an inspector who has followed the same line of work, with the Cadillac and its predecessors for 25 years.
 Five other workmen have been as- sociated with the same interests for IS to g years, and a man who is now general foreman has had 23 years continuous employment. A recent canvass of the shops revealed the fact that 142 superintendents, department heads and others, had records of 10 to 15 years of Cadillac employment, point to periods of employment rang ing from 5 to 10 years.

SPENDS A CENTS FUR REPAIRS DURING LONG
 JOURNEY IN CADILLAC

Leo Weaver, sell of Cadillac for the Babbitt Bros. Trading company is in receipt of an interesting story from Walter Davis, owner of the pop ufar gas stations in Phoenix. MT. has just returned from California on a long tour with his Cadillac, accord ing to Weaver, noted with much pride that Davis spent the extravagant sum of A cents for repairs on the jack that comes as part of the tool equip ment on Cadillac cars.
 | MT. Davis told Weaver that at a recent meeting of the Automobile Buy CTS association of Los Angeles, after the regular business routine was com pleted, there was a wonderful banquet, with it's attendant speeches, toasts, ect. Among other duscussions was the question, What is the most popular car on the market in the United States in other words, the most liked and most thought of car on the market?'
 A vote was taken on paper and at the count, it developed that every sin gle member (dealers of every make of car on the market were present. voted Cadillac the most highly respect ed car being sold in the U. s. except one member.
 When asked to stand and discuss his reason for voting for some other make of car. he refused, it is stated as no one stood to challenge the Cad lilac.
 There is "A Long Trail that will develop a knocker for Cadillac-in fact a trail around our whole country vii probably not disclose a real, conscien- tious, honest to- goodness Cadillac ob. jector." MT. Weaver says:
 If there is one, let him speak, ol hold his peace forever. as we will gt so deeply into his case of trouble tha it will be like digging up the famil! tree of a Pilgrim father and we vii find eventually, that through some lit tie piece of carelessness, part hai been neglected and possibly worn, s' that it will not perform it's function function properly any longer. We vii not find anything broken-things don break on Cadillacs, but they will wea unless a lubricant is applied to tn working part.
 For instance. the other day. we ha, a Cadillac come in with the oil guag showing at the line marked Danger fortunately we got it in time but tha one is only one in a thousand case of carelessness."
