FOUR FOUR FOUR WHOOP|NG COUGH { LASTED ALI WINTER
Children Were Sick With It K Until L-V Gave Relief
E -


 About the first of December two of my children became i'll with whooping cough and suffered all winter with it. In the early spring, while they were still i'll with it, I began giving them Lung Vita, which is now called L-V,' says Mrs. E. M. Banks, $50 North Fifty fourth street (Woodlawn), Birming- ham, Ala.
 Almost immediately they showed improvement the whoop stopped and the cough was gone. Afterwards they were not so susceptible to colds. and when a cold did develop a few doses of L-V stopped it. I gladly give this medicine my indorsement."
 L-V, which was formerly called Lung Vita, is a safe. economical prep aration of barks, tops, leaves and oils fine for stubborn coughs, colds, asthma, whooping cough and bronchial troubles Your druggist can supply you or write Nashville Medicine Company, Nashville, Tenn, forS free booklet

Going Behind Scenes
 at Studebaker Plant

Figures in which every automobile own CT will be interested and in which lovers
 oe statistics will take delight, are given take the visitor behind the scenes in the great drama of automobile manufac- ture and give facts that are both unusual | and little known.
 l Some idea of the infinite care at every i stage of manufacture is contained in the ] Information from MT. Wollering to t&e effect that more than T,000 inspections are given to Studebaker cars before they are | passed for delivery. These inspections start while the cars are still in the raw
 material stage and end with the final 0.
 K. Eight hundred inspectors are em- l ployed in the various plants to carry on | a large part of this work.
 l Illustrating the strctness in ymanufac-
 turing standards, figures show that 65U
 mechanical operations on Studebaker cars
 call for an accuracy to one-thousandth
 of an inch, while 175 operations req-s.re
 an accuracy to one-half- -thousandth of
 an inch.
 The magnitude of the operations may ] be better understood when it is known
 that in the 800 manufacturing depart | ments there are 65O0 machines. The l Studebaker plants cover 225 acres, contain more than 5,750 900 square feet of active | floor space, and represent an investment ' of $25, ,000, GOO. An equal amount of money | is invested normally in raw materials.
 work in progress and finished goods. | Over 15O tons of castings are produced
 daily in the Studebaker founderies, while
 the amount of steel used annually in the manufacture of Studebaker cars totals
 more than 5000 tons. Seven million gal
 Ions of fuel oil are used each year in
 heat treating and in the drop forge fur
 names. Eghty-fve million cubic feet of | gas are required annually.
 ] Research and experimental labora- tories costing over 900 and employing
 100 skilled men are maintained for the
 purpose of testing features of design and construction as we'll as materials, be- l fore production on cars starts. Here also 1 the finished machines are tested before they are shipped to owners. These lab oratories are known as perhaps the finest | in the automobile industry.

For the Good of
 the Community

IllG AOllllllO OKA1I y ONE of Birmingham's attractive young ma W trons decided short time ago to give bat tie to old High Cost of Living. She did not need to stint herself in the matter of purchases ot clothes and other things that seem desirable. She is amply provided with the substance that buys things. Therefore, her decision was all the more commendable.
 Itis told of her that she saw "peach" of a hat in one of the department stores. It was not ex- pensive, only matter of about $20, and any woman in Birmingham will testify that not much of hat can be bought for less than S20.
 She tried it on. It was becoming to her; really made her look "cute" and she wanted it, oh, so much But just as she was in the act of ordering it sent home, she recalled her resolution. Her will power was in good working order at that particular moment so she reluctantly told the clerk she would not take the hat.
 Regretfully she saw it put back among the others in stock and then left the store. <
 Into another department store she went short y afterwards A stylish dress just the thing she had been looking for, caught her eye. It didn't cost much, not more than S40 but looking at the one she had on she decided that it would do for a while yet. Old High Cost must be van quished So back into it's place in stock the dress went. sA
 It was a severe strain on her resolution to forego the purchase of this dress. She wantedit and she wanted it badly. But she still had the mastery of herself
 Then to an art store where she had left portrait to be framed She had ordered expensive one thirty or forty dollars Iwas highly przed portrait and de- at the portrait it's beauty enhanced by the frame and she delighted. It was just what she wanted and had ordered.
 Then her resolution protruded itself into her con- sclousness Resolution and desire of possession staged aroyal battle Resolution told her extravaganza to the price, desire to had beauty and per- fornance which to base it's argument. Desire won in the end
 This is not an imaginary case. It really occurred within the past week There may have been many other cases No doubt thousands of women in Brming ham have overcome their desire to possess pretty clothes or hats shoes to end the mad ca of Old High Cost And they stood by their ut1OnS they contributed to that extent towards the low of prices of clothing and the other necessities of life.
 One of the leading merchants of Birmingham stated to the writer few days ago that he had numerous occasions discouraged customers from buying new clothes when the suits they good enough to last while longer He said the only way to bring down prices for the people to curta their purchases The merchants then would make smaller purchases from the manufacturer and the manufacturer with rdc bic
