Over one hundred countries. col

.W|NTERPR0PER
TIME FOR REPAIRS
Too Few Motorists Far
sighted Enough to Take
Advantage.

TOO few motorists are far-SiShted
enough to appreciate that this Is the
time TO have their cars put in con-
dition for the succeeding driving sea-
son. according to the service depart
ment of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce.
There are two reasons why this IS
so One is that they can spare their
cars better when the weather IS least
inviting to riding. and the other Is
that repair shops are less rushed IN
colder weather and can give most
job.
quite often special rates are made for
repair work done in this more or less
off" season. In other years repair
shops have been quite busy in the
winter because more car owners did
recognize the advantage of getting
their cars repaired before they
entered another driving season. But
This wear. on account of the open
winter there is not the usual amount
Of overhauiing going on.

average motorist is comparable 10

GOOD AUTO BRAKES
REDUCE ACCIDENTS
Considered More important
Than Most Other Motor
Accessories.

Ever since automobiles came into
general use engineers and manufac-
turers have been working to make
them safer in operation.
Non-skid tires and tire chains. i'm
proved bumpers. non-splintering wind
shields. more practical headlights and
various dimming deviCes-all have
contributed to the prevention of acci-
dents.
But the brakes are most important
OF all. On the earliest cars a single
transmission brake was used. but as
Glasses were heightened and more
powerful engines installed. set of
two additional emergency brakes
was mounted on the rear wheels Ihe
general adoption of an equalizer to
distribute the braking strain evenly
between the two wheels was a marked
improvement About this time most
of the manufacturers abandoned the
transmission brake in favor of a
double set of rear wheel brakes--one
set for service and the other for
emergency.
For many years the only further i'm
provements in brakes We're minor re-
iinementS. such as larger drums.
better lining. simpler linkage. etc. A
new Step is the development of the
hydra ulically operated. four-wheel
system of service brakes designed for
Fred s. Duesenberg. the racing car
designer and embodied in the new
Duesenberg straight eight.
These brakes are foot-actuated. IN
accordance with the regular practice.
but the motion of the brake peda |.
instead of being impaired to the

age is transmitted by columns of oil
under pressure.
When the brake pedal is pressed
Gown, oil is forced from the master
cylinder through the pipe lines to all
four brake cylinders, and the brake
sectors are applied to the internal
surface of the brake drums with great
force. AS soon as the pressure on the
brake pedal is relea sed. the return
springs withdraw the sectors from the

awake to the fact that they have too
long neglected the overha uling their cars
needed. When they go to shops they
are likely to find them full of work
and be unable to get accommodated
untis the driving season has begun.
Then the, regular volume of work
going through the shop will make it
hard for them TO receive proper atten
ton. and as result many will have
to drive their cars in unsatisfactory
condition and to the disadvantage Of
the cars. Certain il is that if III wait
until the spring to get their cars
overhauled the work will be only half
done
Another objection TO delay not to
be overlooked is that in the spring
there Will be a great many new cars
coming through from the factories
and the service stations of the dealers
handling these are going to be very
ouSy putting these new cars in read1-
ness for their owners. Naturally. this
work will take precedence over all
other work, the dealers will be
ANXIOUS to turn the cars over to their
purchasers and get their moneT. The
lmportuning owner of an old car ask
ing for an overhauling at such time
will have scant chance of being ,ac
commodated.
Possible Shortage of Mechanics.
Moreover. if car owners would get
their overhauling work done now il
would be good thing for the general
public, for it would improve the eco
nomic situation. Many service sta
tions are finding il necessary to lay
off help because of lack Of work,
which is decreasing the buying power
of certain proportion of the com
munity and tending to depress buSi-
ness all along the line. On the other
hand. If these service stations could
keep the men on their pay roll it
would enable them TO have the eff
cient kind of mocha MICS at the time
when they are going to especially
! need them. when the rush comes in
the spring. Otherwise these men are
likely to have drifted into other
! trades and not be available at that
time.
No doubtsa great many are contem-
plating having their cars repaired be
tween now and the good weather of
spring. but do not appreciate the de
sira bility of not delaying it even "a
little longer. The familiar adage. DO

Rheumatism, sciatica, neuritis-three of the most stubborn,
obstinate and unmanageable diseases that confront us today. Yet,
as absolute proof is herewith shown, they often yield readily and
quickly to Natural Methods.
1t doesn't make any difference how long you have suffered,
what medicines you have taken and what doctors you have tried,
it will pay you we'll to read the testimony on file in our offices
suffering after everything else they had resorted to- failed. Crate
full to DIR. Coll, they have all been voluntarily given.
Now let us consider the cause of rheumatism, sciatica and
neuritis. They are all practically of the same household. They
may be due to exposure, hygenic conditions, injury, improper food
and drink, occupatonal conditions, faulty elimination, and are also
found associated with other diseases.
1t is hardly necessary to mention what the sufferer from these
complaints must endure. How well he knows the sharp, darling,
piercing, shooting pains, the tender, infamed, swollen joints, the
dull and continuous aches, numbness at times, and then a return
OF burning and bhsterlng pains. Chronic rheumatism, ii neg
lccted and improperly treated, may finally lead into heart and kid
ney trouble and permanent deformity of the joints affected.
Yes, you have tried all kinds of liniments, salves and external
lotions, internal medicines also, but with what results? Perhaps
you received temporary relief, but your trouble always returned.
You may have become discouraged and are of the opinion that
there is no permanent help for you. But there is-through Natural
Methods. &
Natural Methods represent all that Nature implies-Light,
Heat, Vibration, Oscillation, Ozone and Electricity. The admins
traton of these modalties has been relieving hundreds and humid
reds of sufferers from rheumatism, sciatica and neuriis, and this
when other methods of treatment had proven of no avail.
Now let us consider some Of these health giving devices that
we speak of and some of which are illustrated on this page. The
sinusoidal treatment is one that has proven very valuable in re-
levng pain. Soothing, pleasant and harmless in its administration,
it is really surprising the quick relief the patient receives in only
q few treatments. There is the Thermic Ray with its powerful
heating rays, remarkable in it's efficacy to relieve congestion. And
the many others, such as the Alpine, Light, Static, Morton Wave,
the Oscillator, Vibration, the High Frequency and treatment by
Cataphoresis.
1t would surprise you if you could talk to som of the patients
who have been under DR.. Coils care as to what Natural Methods
have accomplished for them. Many had been sufferers for years,
most of them had given up hope of ever getting well; yet today,
thanks to Natural Methods, they are in good health.
DR.. Coll cordially invites you to make a tour of inspection
through his offices and see for yourself the wonderfully scientific
ally equipped establishment he has for treating chronic ailments.
Here you can see scores of electric devices OF intricate mechanism
being daily used in assisting the sick to vigorous health.

this celebrated author, was first pro-
duced on the American stage in 1913
at the Lyceum theatre with Grace
