Shoppers

ARE urged to show the same splendid spirit of Co
operation at this holiday shopping season, The
one way in which this can be done is for all those
not compelled by employment TO shop late to start
each days Christmas shopping at or as near the
hour of IL O'Clock noon each day as possible. Do
this and you will not only help yourselves and
the salespeople, but you will likewise make way
for those who of necessity are compelled to shop
later in the afternoon

Congratulations,
MERCHANTS!

NHROUGH your organization (the Merchants
L and Manufacturers Associaton) quick action
was unanimously agreed upon where store hours
could be uniformly regulated, thereby assuring uni
form shopping hours during the present coal short
age, therefore assuring the public uniform shop
ping period (from IL O'Clock noon to 6 p. n.y. for
the number of hours local stores have determined
to remain open.
The writer attended your meeting and was i'm
pressed with the rapidity with which the whole
organization moved without dissenting voice to-
ward hearty cooperation with those in charge
of the coal situation 1t not only proved the value
of the organization in matters of cooperative
action, but likewise proved the loyalty of each
individual member looking toward the welfare of
the entire community

who want to help in this situ-
alton, which adds to the an

gestion, will begin each days

After Eating Too

You re Not Chinese

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 8.-When
Thanksgiving day rolls around this
year one of the things you may be
thankful for is that you have never
been i'll in China and compelled to
take the prescription of Chinese
doctor.
DR.. George w. Leavell, medical
missionary at Canton, China, who is
now on a leave of absence in this
country, relates how a Chinese ply
sician called in to see very sick and
wealthy patient prescribed the fol-
lowing, which required more than a
half day to prepare:
Two ounces of sailed lizards, one
half ounce of Korea ginseng root,
six dried grasshppers-three male
and three female-one ounce sweet
potato leaves, one ounce walnuts,
one-fourth ounce lotus leaves, one
half ounce of rattlesnake tail, two
ounces black dates, one-half ounce.
elm tree bark, one-half ounce devil
fish tentacles. one-half ounce harts-
horn, one-half ounce bird claws, one
half ounce dried ginger and one
half ounce old coffin nails.
This was to be boiled in gallon
of water until reduced to great
thickness and then given the patient
in large quantities.

The E. I. Dupont interests are

Dupont Fabrikoid company, which
company is manufacturing . prod
uct which it is predicted will revolu-
tionize the manner OF painting
bodies.
The Fabrikoid is a product very
similar in finish to 4 fine grade Of
leather and is cut and cemented to
the body in such a manner that it
takes the place of paint.
It is impossible to scratch or mar
this material in any way and the
cement used sets the material in
much the same manner that various
phys are cemented to the carcass of
pneumatic tire.
A Cadillac roadster covered with
a blue alligator finish of this ma

This car is making run from coast

exhibited at the New York automo-
bile show. This finish shows no
wear at all so far, and, unless some
accident takes place, it probably will

condition as it left the city Of Los

| towns, and hamlets of the United
States. The company's dealers,
from Maine to California, and from
Washington to Florida, now have
on display one or more of the new
models described as embodying
the greatest improvement in rid
ing comfort since the introduction
of pnuematic tires"
New Type Of Springs.
This Improvement is the use of
three point suspension springs. I'm
usually graceful in body design,
Overland 4 makes splendid i'm
preston on the visitor. 1t was this
new spring suspension, however,
which absorbed motorist attention
at the salesrooms. It is a combin-
alton of two principles that have
been used to greatest advantage in
automobile construction: First,
that of canti1ever springs; second,
the flexible three-point construc-
ton.
The luxurious riding comfort
these springs furnish the car
was Immediately understood and
appreciated. It is this feature
which gives the new Overland car,
designed for light weight, that de-
gree of riding comfort and security
hitherto possible only in high
priced, heavier cars.
The actual creation of Overland
4 began more than two years ago.
The last two years have been de-
voted to testing and perfecting each
part of the car. Back of its devel-
opment stand 10 years of success
full manufacturing and engineering
experience in giving the public good
motor cars. For the immediate de-
velopment and production of Over
land 4, John N. WHY'S has concen-
trated the vast resources of the
WHY'S Overland company. Pro-
duction will be on a scale which
will assure the greatest economies
in manufacturing.
Interesting Detail Features.
The motor of the Overland 4 is
cast en- bloc with removable head.
1t has generous valve opening.
The lubricating and oiling sys-
tenn requires no pumps. The oil is
circulated by pressure automatically
created and the water is circulated
by the Thermo-Syphon system or
natural cooling method. No pow
er is required of the motor to oper-
ate these systems.
The steering apparatus is of the
planetary gear type with the gears
at the bottom of the steering col
umn. By this arrangement all the
strain is taken at three points in
stead of at one.
The clutch is of the single plate
type now used by II per cent of the
motor manufacturers. The selective
gear transmission has three speeds
forward and reverse. It operates in
oil.
The front axle is of chrome nickel
steel which affords both light
weight and strength. The front
wheels have tapered roller bear
ings. The rear axle, also of chrome
nickel steel, is three-quarter float
ing. The differential and rear
wheels operate on I annular ball
bearings
The car is equipped with two
brakes-foot and hand. These work
on 10-inch drums on each wheel and
to assure safety are larger than
necessity demands.
Body Is all Steel.
One of the chief aims of the
builders has been to maintain the
highest standard of quality through
out the car in both the material
and manufacture. This has been

Federal Rubber's 1920
Z Campaiun Is a New Era

The dawn Of the new day in ad-
vertising has not been better
heralded than in the 1920 program
of the Federal Rubber company of
Cudahy, Wis. In it is marked the
transformation that has placed ad-
vertising on its present high plane.
The Transformation has come
through the advertising man him
self, through his efforts to make ad-
vertising something more than the
mere presentation of product.
In a word Federal advertising has
been given the setting its particular
product needs. Federal tires have
been given that touch in advertis-
ing that mean to the great buying
public what the frame and the deli
cate light mean to a painting.

Cloth Upholstery.

Cloth upholstery may best be
cleaned by beating cushions and
backs lightly with stick or carpet
beater, after which the accumulated
dust is whisked off with brush.
Grease or oil may be removed by an
application Of lukewarm water and
Ivory soap, applied with a wooden
cloth. There are number of new
wooden cleansers which will work
very we'll on cloth upholstery, but
gasoline and benzine have tenden-
cy to spread instead Of remove dirt.

Polished Steel.

When polished steel or iron be-
come lustreless they maye be re-
stored with ammonia soapsuds and
stiff brush. The parts are rinsed
thoroughly and dried by heat. Next
a copious amount of sweet oil is ap-
Piled and then powdered quicklime
is busted on. The lime Is per
mitted to stay on for two days and
is then cleaned off with a stuff
brush. The metal is polished with
a softer brush and with solf cloths
until the lustre is restored. If the
lime is left on the iron or steel may
be kept from rusting almost indefi-
nite1y.

Use of Taps.

A tap should never be used in a
cored or rough hole. A heavy flat
drill should be run through to take
out the scale, sand or projections.
Plenty of good lard should be used
in cutting threads with a die. Very
often file tap is ruined when it is
first used, simply because there is
no oil on the work. Taps should
never be used without plenty Of
good oil. A tap will gauld in any
metal and tear off the threads unless
it is kept well oiled.

II would be a queer reversal Of for

Wood was regarded by army officers and
