After an attack of Influenza it is abb

use of good Tonic.
Farraline Is Just the Tonic you need,
for it contains just what the rundown

formula. There Is no doubt but that this
will convince you, for you will readily

Plans for extension of the work to
the hundreds of thousands of persons
crippled every year in industry also
are to be taken up at the conference.
Today's session was given, over to

plans of the various countries, the
speakers including some of the most
prominent opponents of the movement
in the United States, France. Italy.
England, Belgium and Canada.
Mr.. Maurice Bourrillon, president of
the permanent interaIlied committee on
war cripples, director of the French Ma
tional Institute for Crippled Soldiers
and known as the grandfather of re-
education" was the first speaker.
France, he said. so far as possible, is
training the disabled to resume their
pre-war trades, but that where this
is impossible they are being trained for
new vocations according to their pref
erences. New laws give them pensions
and five years preference in civil
positions in the national government.
BELGIUM'S WORK DESCRIBED
Belgium's work was described by
Prof. Louis Alleman, director of the
government institute for criples at
Port Villez France. The Belgian work
so far, he said, had been conducted by
civilian organizations, but bill pro-
yiding for national rehabilitation of
soldiers will undoubtedly be passed
soon"
Prof Vittorio Putt, a famous Italian
orthopedic surgeon and director of the
Rizzoli institute at Bologna, describ ed
Italys plan, which includes 10 days
compulsory attendance by each con-
yaIescent soldier at a vocational train
ing school. This brief period, he said,
was sufficient to convince virtually all
the men of the advisability of taking
a complete course. Preference in GER
tain government positions also has
been instituted in italy as a means
of providing places for wounded SOL
diers, he said.
f. Gerald Robinson, deputy minister
of the Canadian department of soldiers
civil establishment, and w, e. Segs-
worth. director of vocational training
in the department, described the three
part Canadian plan of rehabilitating her
wounded-the ward occupations de-
signed to keep the soldiers cheerful
during convalescence, the curative
workshops where heavier work is Civ
en- and the industrial retaining schools
to which the men are sent when phys1-
cally healed.
England, said Mrs. Ethel Wood, sec
rotary of the local war pensions COM
mittee of London, is offering vocation
al training not only to the wounded
but to soldiers who were minors when
they enlisted to university students
whose courses were interrupted and to
widows of slain soldiers.
Americas programme, as built up
from the experience of the allied ma
tions was outlined by Col. Frank Bill
ings, chief, and Lieut.. Col. Joseph L.
Miller, assistant chief of the division
of physical reconstruction in the sur
geon generals office.
Under the American plan, Colonel
Billings said. no soldier will be dis
charged from the army until he has
fully recovered physically, and all who
desire will be given full vocational re-
training.
Some difficulty is being encountered,
he said, in obtaining sufficient instruc-
tors for the retaining work. The As
reconstruction hospitals now operating,
he said, have only 1900 women recon
struction aides 500 enlisted instructors
and 100 commissioned officer instruc-
tors.

Patrons of Exhibits Are
Buying Cars, Recent
Sales Records Show.

There has been one feature Of this
years motor car shows that believe
is significant of the 1913 season" says
Harry s. Daniels. advertising mana
ger of the bort Motor Car Company.
That is the way In which buyers
are making show time the occasion
for buying a car. i have attended
a good many exhibits and have seen
the usual throng OF curious spectators
gathered about cut-out chasses and
other display novelties. I have heard
their questions and seen the demon
strators and statesmen talk to pros
poets. And you could always tell
that the showgoers weren't interest
ed as buyers. All they wanted was
Information.
This year It has been universally
different. You see little groups about
the booths-a salesman and a man
and wife. You can tell at glance
that they are not only interested In
the car. but In buying It. The sales
mans actions show Il, and the results
show It. venture TO guess that the
motor car shown Of this year have
seen more retail sales actually made
On the floor of the exhibits than any
previous ones"

U. s. GIVES TIPS
TO AUTO MAKERS
Manufacturers Learn Many
Valuable Lessons Working
on War Material.

1--WE. in the automobile business
used To think there was little we could
learn about fine manufacturing" said
Vice President r C. Rueschaw, Of the
Mitchell Motors Company. Inc, of
Racine. Wis. But we're never too
old to learn. and when we got to max
ing war material Uncle Sam taught
US thing or two.
The one outstanding characteristic
of an automobile Is its ability to get
places quickly. That means speed
not necessarily racing speed. but rapid
motion as compared to any other
means of personal transportation,
Now, when You have speed the ma
chine which produces It must be well
made or the rapid motion will soon
wear It out To prevent this requires
a higher grade OF workmanship with
more rigid inspection than obtains IN
almost any other line of nanufac-
ture.
Then, too, automobiles could never
be produced at the prices which OBJ
tain were It not for this fact that
they are not built one at a time, but
made IN great quantities To do this
means that all similar parts must be
SO nearly alike that they will ft to-
gether with the minimum OF hand
work. Here again fine workmanship
and close limits produce the desired
results.
These things have been known for
a long time. For years automobile
manufacturers have been developing
new and better ways Of making and
inspecting parts. and results have been
so satisfactoryLtha we may be par
doned for having been inclined to
think sometimes that there was little
left for us TO learn along these lines"
And then along came the war
and with IL the necessitp of turn
ing over the automobile plants to
war work" continues Mr. Rue
schaw.
Most automobile makers had
never done any work for the gov
ernment and while we knew that
the work was exacting and close,
we had no doubt of our ability to
take II in our stride as II were.
Tn the main we were right. The
extreme closeness OF the govern
ment inspection was not a new
story to us, but the intensity with
which the government inspectors
searched out the minutest errors and
flaws and the lengths to which they
went to check and recheck the work
was an eye-opener.
We began to sit up and take no.
tice of these keen-eyed, earnest
young men who had no hesitancy in
telling us. when the occasion war
ranted 1t, that our best was not
good enough for Uncle Sam. We
began to appreciate the wonderful
quality results that came from this
super inspection.
"At first our inspectors were in
clined to feel that the government
men were needlessly fussy, but
gradually they. too. were convinced
by the results obtained. And SO they
learned new tricks OF close inspec-
tion ard now that they have learn
ed them the lesson will not be for
gotten.
Asa result now that we are
back on passenger car production,
every car that leaves the plant is
built with the same infinitely pains
taking care that characterized the
trucks we made, and each one can
be counted on to give as good an
account of itself"

MOTOR SALES
TRADE index
bort Dealer Says Business
Prosperity and Good
Weather Aid Dealers.

Whether the fact that the motor
car shows were held a little later
this year than In former seasons play
ed any part in making them the big
gest in point of actual sales In the
history is causing some discussion
among motor car men these days.
In The opinion Of the local dealer
in bort motor cars. the sales stinu-
lus was not due so much to the time
OF the exhibits as TO the general busi-
ness situation in the country, coupled
with the mild weather which the
East and the Middle West especially
have enjoyed.
Motor show Dsets-
Personally, 1 would like to see
the dates OF the motor car shows
return another year to their former
times" he says. II do not believe
that the difference in sales SHOWN
this sear was dependent upon
change Of dates and l do feel that
both dealer and patron gain DIX
advantage by having the shows as
soon after the hrst OF January as
possible, because OF the time that is
given to look over the new models
and the general features OF various
motor cars before the real spring
selling season opens up.
''I am sure everyone had spring fe-
YER and knows how the first warm
days call one into the open. Those
are the days when motoring has It's
biggest thrill and those are too often
the days when the motorist is buying
his car and arranging for a delivery
at a later date. II motorists would
only buy a little earlier and be ready
for the first bursts OF sunshine ana
warmth, they would get real pleasure
from their cars.
This year, 1 believe, due 10 the
mild winter, more motorists are go
ing to enjoy the first spring days
than every before because they have
purchased early, and generally 1t IN
the spring days that do this TO the
motorists loss of pleasure"
