To keep pace with the improved appearance of the body of car 1t Is necessary to give some attention to the top and upholstery. A weekly brushing of the top inside and out will add materially to it's life. Fab ric tops should never be cleaned with gasoline, kerosene or other oils, which tend to destroy the rubber in the top. Castile soap and water ap- piled with stiff brush Is the best cleaning medium for the top. The upholstery should be cleaned once a week.

respond In the way that she was ex-

had refused the case and advised
medical treatment she would have
been renouncing all that she stood
for.
How do we know that Christian
Science treatment, if allowed undis-
puted sway in this case, would not
have been successful? Outside in

after the discovery of the girls deed
