Fletcherism.

Horace Fletcher thought the way
to good health was to chew food thor
oughly. He was an American living
in Venice shortly before 1902. In Or
der to improve his health so that he
could pass a life insurance examina-
ton. he had been led to the value OF
thorough chewing Of food to make IT
digestible and nutritious.
One of the first things noted by Mr..
Fletcher was that thorough chewing
of food rendered the amount neces'
sary TO satisfy hunger and strength

was because of FTetcher's observa'
tons, and with his financial assist

his scientific research to determine
the minimum protein requirement. Oi

model of the cOmpany's new line
of fine six cylinder cars-the Senior
Sedan was today formally placed on

That the advent of the Senior
Lime, as the new "six' has been
named, to distinguish it from bod ge
Brothers Standard line Of four evil
inder ears, was an event not alone
important to Dodge Brothers but to
the motoring public as well is amply
evidenced by the persons who have
already glimpsed and inspected this
impressive new product by build
er long world known as Il manufac
turer of dependable motor ears.
In presenting the Senior Line,
Dodge Brothers have been charac-
teristicaliy modest in describing the
impressive trinity Of comfort, per
formance, and beauty that is ap-
parent at first glance,o declared
McCabe in describing the new ar
rival. Beauty Of design, excep,
tional performance, style and com
fort Of interior appointments, and
ease aid economy Of operation have
been Dodge Brothers guide words in
the manufacture of this remarkable
new siy.
