improvements or this primitive
method Of hot water supply have been
many and varied. There was, first
the old water reservoir connected to
the kitchen stove. Next came the
round tank connected to the fire box
of the stove. Then there was the
tank with a coil to be installed in The
furnace. Next came the "scuttle-a.
day" stove for basement installation
connected to a water tank. There
were several types of kerosene hea-
tiers, with and without wicks.
Perhaps you smile at these out
NODDED sources of hot water supply,
yet have in your home a water tank
that only produces results after long
periods of waiting after lighting, with
frequent trips to the tank to "pat'
it and see whether or not the water
there is hot enough.
The 1871 automatic water heaters
now being featured by your dealers
are low in price and will supply all
your family requirements at reason
able cost. Present day life, with its
quick tempo and accelerated speed,
demands an instantaneous supply OF
hot water at any time of the day or

completely modern which lacks such
a supply.
Recently, a study was made To de.

Precious Eyesieht
Con Never Be
Regoined

Human eyes - accustomed for
countless centuries TO casual, long
distance seeing out-of-doors, in
bright daylight-are still outdoor
eyes, and many occupations that
keep men outdoors the larger part
of the day have preserved perfect
eyesight even today.
However, the majority of US have
become a race of indoor workers,
performing our tasks under arti-
fetal light and almost doubling the
use of eyesight required by humans
a few generations ago.
Obviously, this increased use of
human eyesight in modern times
aas had a definite effect upon our
eyes and health. We know that
out of ten grade school children.
two of them have defective vision
even at such an early stage of life.
Forty College students in every
hundred have defective eyesight,
and fifty Of every hundred persons
older than thirty years have some
defect in sight. From that age,
the percentage mounts until, at
sixty, very few people escape with
ont faulty vision.
These facts may be startling to
you, but you may be sure that poor
light coupled with today's modern
demands upon eyesight can make a
bad situation even worse.
The Science Of Seeing is new
within this decade, but most of the
things we have discovered about
light and its effect on the eyes is
a result of many years of patient
scientific experiments. 1t was not
until a comparatively recent time
that a way was found 20 measure
light just as we measure the wea-
Their with a barometer, or the heat
with a thermometer.

limitations from Washington
created widespread apprehension
that he was against advertising
during the national emergency,
that he was flirting with the
idea Of institutine repreSSive
measures: but since he talked
10 the convention Of national adj
vertisers and advertising agen-
cies. the fears have been entirely
dispelled.
Whatever may have influenced
him, he not only disclaimed any
IDEA that he would try TO re-
strict advertising. but declared
that he would favor more adver-
Using if done on new civilian
products that would curb the
imitation trend by attracting
several billion dollars Of national
income.
Since then a number of cor
porations and other organiza-
irons that were hesftant to
maintain full-volume advertising
during the coming year have
gone ahead actively with prep
aration of 1912 schedules either
equaling or exceeding the cur

Moreover, about efforts to

stamps and bonds are likely TO

far a poor selling Job has been
done. The public, especially
those In relatively low income
brackets, should have more and
invest more TO strengthen our

On a recent day one 1912 pas
senger car model was driven, by

to circle the world fully three
times. In each car was an out

results. Vice President Forest
H. Akers of Dodge proudly re-
ports that the statistics revealed
from IL to II miles per gallon
Of gas, or an average of fully
21h2 miles--this for a car having
los horsepower.
He comments:
This should convince the
public that, despite all talk
about substitutes the automo-
tive industry has succeeded in
supplying 1912 cars OF better

creased dependability."
Little wonder America has so
extraordinarily eclipsed all other
