MY DEAR SIR: .,.
The woods are full of hailed as "supremeV
comfortable" r, -, -
We prefer that you first EXPERIENCE the COM
fort of the Liberty and then apply your own descrlp
ton.
The people who built the Liberty seem to have
little different idea of this comfort" subject
AS they define it, motoring comfort implies mental
as well as bodily ease.
And since it would be hard to imagine great con-
tentment in the ownership OF an untrustWofthy CAR
their first concern is to that the car Is maze u
mistababy GOOD. 49,,
Consequently, just plain, simple goodness IS the
basic for the deep comfort felt by lts passeh
gers-n fact, for the perceptibe difference noticed
in every detail of the cars riding and driving
Incidentally, this difference is easily accounted
for when understands the purpose that acIuates
every operation in the building OF the car.
A foreman in the Liberty factory once SAID TINS:
"We try to anayze what the average man wants OF an
automobile and then just though each of us were
building for himself, make an effort to meet
those wants as no one ever met them before
In short, Liberty purpose is simply to build the
kind of car that serves the owner BETTER
So it isn't any wonder that owners declare the
Liberty a comfortable car-and besides that a de-
nendabye economical and beautiful WELL
You might find it distinctly worth while to test
own judgment
Yours very truly,

EGYPT's BOOK OF THE DEAD
Contents Throw Interesting Light on
the Morals Of the People Of That
Ancient Period.

"Book of the Dead" more properly
called the Book of the Manifestation
of Light is the name of the most fa-
nous book of the ancient Egyptians, ac-
cording to the Detroit News. 1t dates
from the fourth dynasty, 1882 to 1858
B, O., and is written in Egyptian hero
glyphics. 1t contains prayers and ex-
orcisms for the benefit of the soul on
its long perilous Journeys in the low
er world, as well as minute instruc-
tions by which it may vanquish the
frightful monsters that will assail 1t
before reaching the first gates Of
heaven.
The text of the "Book of the Dead"
carefully revised and with illustra-
tions. was published by M. Edouard
Naville in 1886 translations also having
appeared in several European lam
guages. The following sentences from
the book, in the souls defense before
Osiris, are interesting as throwing
light on Egyptian morals: II have
not been intoxicated; l have not told
secrets; I have not told fnlsehoods /;
I have not defrauded; have not SIAN
dered / have not caused tears; have
given food to the hungry, drink to the
thirsty and clothes to the naked"

Concerning Reading.

1t was said of Edmund Burke, who
was great reader and great thinker
also, that he read every book as II
he were never to see it second time,
and thus made it his own, possession
for life. We're his example initiated,
much time would be saved that is
spent in recalling things half remem-
bered and in taking up the stitches
of lost thoughts. A greater loss than
that OF time would be avoided-tife
loss of the dignity and power which
are possessed by him who keeps his
mind tense, active, and wakeful. 1t
is very common to give the rule thus:
"Whatever is worth reading at all IS
worth reading WELL" If by "well' is
intended with the utmost stretch Of
attention, it is not literally true; for
there are books which serve for pas
time and amusement, books which can
be run through.-From Books and

Daniel Webster was one Of the most

tongue are Still remembered and
quoted by those who were present to

OF discourse We're upon him.
How he came to be so successful and
intelligent reader is explained in
his autobiography. Whatever lie read,
he read so often and so earnestly that
he learned to repeat it. 1--WE had so
few BOOKS" he says, "that to read
them once or twice was nothing; we

and among the books which he obtain

could not understand why 1t was nec-
essary that the author of the 'Specta-
tor should take such great pains to
prove that Chevy Chase was good
story; that was the last thing doubt
ed" He tells us, "In those boylsh days
there were two things which I did
dearly love, viz, reading and playing
passions which did not cease to
struggle when boyhood was over."-

Brothers Only in Adversely.

Men have never felt themselves to be
brothers in good fortune, in pride, in
ambition in success, in the emotion
born of conquest and Of enjoyment of
earthly blessings; but in the face OF
danger, in misfortune. in times Of trial,
Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the Attain
tic.
Christianity could bid men to regard
one another and to treat one another
as brothers, because at the same time
it told them that they We're weak and
imperfect creatures, needing to assist
one another and always menaced by
the enemy they held concealed within
themselves. The nineteenth century,
on the contrary told men that they
were brothers, but told them at the
same time that they were destined,
one and all. to be monarchs of the
universe.
And in order to be monarchs of the
universe, men and nations, instead of
embracing like brothers, threw them
selves upon one another, arms in hand.

Tattooino Made an Art.

Tattooing is an art so old that its
origin is lost to historical records,
having been practiced when the cave
men went out to club their fellows.
In the Marquesas islands, the most
distant and most mysterious of South
sea archipelagos, tattooing reached it's
highest development, and there 1t was
the most beautiful form of art known.
For man in the Marquesas to
lack the tattooed Stars of Terror upon
his face, and to have bare counte-
nance, was to be, poltroon and de-
spised by the tribe. Frederick O'Brien
says in the Century Magazine that to
achieve a fairly complete picture on
ones body meant many months Of In
tense suffering and the expenditure Of
much wealth.
