“DANDER1NE”
Stops Hair Coming Out*
Doubles Its Beauty.
A few cents buys “Dan^erlne.”
After an application of “Danderine”
you can not find a fallen hair or any
dandruff, besides every hair shows new
life, vigor, brightness, more color aid
thickness.—Adv.
Nothing happens to the city man
with the same rigid persistence that
nothing happens to the village man.
After Ten Years—
Eatonic Proves the Best
"X say, God bless eatonic,” writes
Mrs. Delia M. Doyen. “I can truth-
fully say, after suffering with stomach
trouble for ten long years, that I have
never had anything do me so much
good as this one box of eatonic.”
We print these grateful words from
this dear lady, so that sufferers every-
where may have hope and a little
faith—just enough to give eatonic a
trial. Why, folks, last year over half
a million people used eatonic and
found relief.
This is the secret: Eatonic sim-
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right out
of the body. Of course, when the
cause is removed, the sufferer gets
well. Stomach trouble causes about
seventy non-organic diseases, so, If
you are suffering any kind of misery,
not feeling well, go right to your drug-
gist today and obtain a big box of
eatonic; cost is a trifle. Use it and
find quick, sure relief.
Make this test—you will see, and
then, if you are not satisfied, your
druggist will hand your money back.
He does not want one penny unless
eatonic pleases you. Adv.
Nothing in nature happens except
according to natural laws. Nature has
no room for miracles..
INVENTIVE GENIUS
ROBS CALOMEL OF
NAUSEAANO DANGER
Doctors’ Favorite Medicine No.vr
Purified and Refined from All
Objectionable Effects. “Galo-
tabs”—the New Name.
What will human ingenuity do next?
Smokeless powder, wireless telegraphy,
horseless carriages, colorless iodine, taste-
less quinine,—now comes nausealess calo-
mel. The new improvement called “Calo-
tabs” Is now on sale at drugstores.
For biliousness, constipation and indi-
gestion the new calomel tablet is a prac-
tically perfect remedy, as evidenced by
the fact that the manufacturers have au-
thorized all druggists to refund the price
If the customer is not “perfectly delighted”
with Calotabs. One tablet at bedtime with
a swallow of water—that’s all. No taste,
no nausea, no griping, no salts. By morn-
ing your liver is thoroughly cleansed and
you are feeling fine, with a hearty appe-
tite. Eat what you please—no danger—go
about your business.
Calotabs are not sold in bulk. Get an
original package, sealed. Price, thirty*
five cents.—(adv.)
To be always sensible is a great
strain. One isn’t sure that nature in-
tended that. Nature herself isn’t.
Don't wait until you are
down on your back with
chills and fever. Make your
system immune from Ma-
larial disorder.

A PROTEST.
For the second time and without
apology the man hanging to the strap
trod on the toes of the sitting passen-
ger. Barely evading a third crushing,
tbe latter looked up and observed
mildly:
“I know, sir, that my feet were made
to walk on, but that is a strictly per-
sonal privilege belonging to me.”
True.
"What is your opinion of the pos-
sibility of communicating with the
dead?”
“I’m not worrying much about that.
But I am certain of one thing, there
is a positive chance for better and
kindlier and happier communication
with the living if we’d all make the ef-
fort.”
In the Movies.
“How can you get your stars to
\gister the various emotions?”
“Oh, it is easy. When I praise a
T&ir’s acting, for instance, she regis-
ers satisfaction, contentment, joy.”
“Yes?”
“And when I give it a .rap she runs
the gamut of indignation, rage, de-
spair.”
Retort Courteous.
He—I suppose when all women vote,
the party managers will have to put
handsome men on their tickets for can-
didates.
■She—What makes you think women
will demand handsome men to vote
for when you look at the kind the most
of them marry?
/
CLEANED OUT.
Judge: Have you anything to offer
the eourt before sentence is passed on
you?
Prisoner: No, your honor, my lawyer
took my last dollar.
A Question.
“A wise old owl sat on a limb—”
Oh, yes, we’ve often heard of him;
But tell us, while we pardon beg,
Did he sit on an arm or leg?'
Playing Safe.
“A fool and his irioney are soon
parted.”
“But that doesn’t seem to be true of
your cousin.”
“No, he has sense enough to asso-
ciate only with other fools.”
Queer Expectations.
“That is a queer announcement of
the partners In that aviation enter-
prise.”
“What is?”
“That they expect to do a land
office business.”
Well Protected.
Jim—That fellow seems to escape all
the small, unfortunate tricks of fate.
Sam—What do you mean?
Jim—He’s able to wear a white vest
and carry a fountain pen in his pocket
at the same time.
Practically Intact.
“Yep, we’ve adapted ‘King Lear’ for
the films.”
, “Alter it much?”
“Not much. Put in a couple of come-
dians and fixed up a happy ending, of
course.”—Film Fun.
At the Circus.
“What did you think of the tricks
performed together by the little Shet-
land pony and the big I’ercheron?”
“It was what I would call an exhi-
bition of mite and mane.”
Ideal and Real.
“He swore that he held her image
in his heart, but he didn’t stand any
chance.”
" “No?”
“No. His rival just held the girl
herself in his arms.”
AMERICA’S PIONEER AUTOMOBILE

the first mechanically-successful automobile made in America, and was built
27 years ago.
FIRST MILES OF
BI6 IMPORTANCE
Greatest Care in Handling of Car
Called for Until Parts Have
Worn In Somewhat.
ENGINE DEMANDS ATTENTION
Make Thorough Study of Instruction
Book and Familiarize Yourself
With Every Grease Cup—
Drive Intelligently.
The dealer has just left your new
car at the door, and you invite the
family to go for a short ride. Doesn’t
the engine sound powerful and quiet?
Your tests all are met satisfactorily,
and you realize that it means sun,
flowers and red blood and that it will
pay its cost in health for you and
yours. But—are you interested in
your car’s health? Do you intend to
keep it fit from the start? Of course
you do.
After the first trip take a wrench
and go over every nut and bolt on the
car to make certain that all are tight.
The engine parts should get especial
attention, for a defect here will result
in misfiring and poor carburetion.
Make your inspections frequently for
the first 1,000 miles, until the car will
have worn in somewhat. Then you
can relax your vigilance a bit.
Study Instruction Book.
Make a thorough study of the In-
struction book. Look at the lubrica-
tion chart and familiarize yourself
with the location of every grease cup
and oil hole. Then sree that all are
kept filled properly. rf‘his will insure
against worn parts or scored bearings
and, incidentally, allow you to learn
the lubrication system thoroughly.
When an automobile is built the en-
gine has been run but little, and the
parts are fitted tight to make them
snug after the stiffness has worn off.
The car will not show much speed un-
til these parts wear in. So don’t ex-
ceed 25 miles an hour until your
speedometer registers 1,000 miles. By
so doing each part will “find itself”
and you will be perfectly safe in ex-
ceeding 30 miles an hour. If you force
a car before it has obtained the 1,000
miles It will result in a noisy engine
and premature repairs.
Drain off the oil every 500 miles
and replace it with fresh. You will be
surprised at the quantity of grit and
dirt that comes from the crank case.
The bearings and pistons throw off
small particles of metal which, unless
you remove them with the old oil, will
work into the bearings and cause
trouble. Perhaps your engine will
show a tendency to overheat when
new. Don’t let this worry you, for its
merely the friction caused in wearing
off the rough surfaces of the engine.
Drive intelligently and just give her
plenty of oil and water, and soon the
trouble will disappear.
Remove Looseness.
Every now and then the new ear
should be jacked up, the wheels shaken
an<I the looseness removed. As the
oearings become accustomed to their
work the need for adjustment will go
away*
Be careful of your gasoline adjust-
ment on the dash. Do not leave It
“rich” any longer than is necessary,
for this results In an extra amount ,of
gasoline getting into the engine, which
will, of course, thin the oil.
The body cleaning should be done
very carefully for the first month or
so. Use a simple flow of water with-
out spray or force. If you don’t the
finish will be marred. The longer you
drive without unnecessary cleaning,
the harder the varnish will become.
DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SCREWS
Or So It Seemed to Him.
“What’s the matter with you, Sam?”
“I think I’se got infantile paralysis.”
“Infantile paralysis?”
“Yessah, boss; ma arm am par-
alyzed frum gittin’ up in de night an’
totin’ de baby.”
Trouble May Be Prevented by Apply-
ing Beeswax to Relieve Friction
Which Is Cause.
When driving screws into hard wood
breakage is a trouble frequently en-
countered. This may be prevented by
applying beeswax to the screw, as this
relieves the intense friction which is
the cause of breakage.
iSi
Keep Up Compression,
Modem cars are equipped
with electric self-starters and do
not have the crank handle in-
stalled. Without a crank han-
dle it is difficult properly to test
the compression of each cylin-
der. Oftentimes a motor is run
with poor compression because it
is too much trouble to attach the
crank handle and test the com-
pression of each cylinder. If the
compression of each cylinder is
not kept up to standard there is
bound to be more or less of a
pound in the epglne, which Is
injurious to all the wqrking
parts, and especially to the
bearings.

GATE WORKS AUTOMATICALLY
Device Drops Across Road While Red
Lights on Posts Are Dis-
played and Bell Bings.
To reduce the too-heavy toll of ac-
cidents at railroad crossings which are
not guarded by gatemen a western in-
ventor has developed a set of gates
made of heavy woven wire, which au-
tomatically drop across the road on
Spring Gates for Railroad Crossings,

either side of the tracks, when a train
approaches. The gates slide in posts,
capped with red lights; a warning bell,
also, is provided. A single electric mo-
tor drops and raises the gates. They
are spring-suspended In such a way
that an auto running into them care-
lessly, would be little damaged.

become rusted firmly together may be
separated by soaking them for several
hours in a mixture of one-third lubri-

This is the time of year when own-
ers of new cars need to be reminded
that more harm may result to the ve-
hicle in the first 500 miles of running
than in all the rest of its life.

THE TABLEAUX.
"The other evening,” said Daddy,
“some children gave tableaux which,
as I’ve told you, are like pictures. The
children get- in positions to make them
look like the pictures and then they
stand quite still while the curtain is
drawn up and the people see the tab-
leau.
“At these tableaux the other eve-
ning were the mothers and fathers and
older sisters and brothers of the chil-
dren and many other people came too.
“The children gave these tableaux
and with the help of their mothers
got up their own costumes and did all
the work assisted by a few grown-ups.
They charged admission for they
worked hard over them and had very
fine ones, and the money they made
went straight to a fresh air fund so
that children in the city whose daddies
and mothers were not well off at all
could get a little of the country and
the fresh air in the summer away from
the city.
“These children saw that they had
no expenses. They made an old dining-
room table as a platform and put a rug
over it.
“Their curtain was of old velvet
curtains which had been lent to them
and the stage was very pretty with
flowers and greens and ferns.
“I thought that it might be nice for
Nick and Nancy and their friends to
get up some tableaux and give them
for the benefit of some good charity.
For you will get so much fun out of
them yourselves and you will he giv-
ing others fun, too, which they other-
wise would not have.
“It’s always fun to dress up and to
act—even if one acts without saying a
word and looking just like a Statue.
“What do you think about it, Nick and
Nancy? Do you think you would like
to give some tableaux? And wouldn’t
you like to give the money you make
tp some nice charity so that others
could get some pleasure out of your
fun too?”
“We’d love it,” said Nancy.
“And we’ll work hard so folks will
consider that our show Is-worth the
money,” laughed Nick.
“You can have volunteer ushers, and
so they will all be known to be ushers
l cnnfrt»r
Big Paper Hats.
i
they can all wear big paper hats of
different colors as I once saw ushers
wear.
“Some of the tableaux which- are
easy to give are of fancy dress balls,
and of boys and girls dressed to look
like the Fairyland people.
“And tableaux are nice of scenes on
the farm, and at the beach and on the
tennis court and fishing. A nice one
to end up with is to have all the young-
est boys and girls in their little night
clothes carrying candles and candle
sticks—all ready for bed. But it is as
well not to light the candles for there
might be accidents then with fire.
Candles wouldn’t show well anyway
with all the lights for the audience
turned on too.
“Then there are nice tableaux taken
from famous pictures, many of that
kind.
“Don’t you think it would be fun,
children?”
“Oh, great fun, Daddy. Thank you
so much for suggesting it to us. We’ll
get all the children interested in it to-
morrow". And we’ll get it ready in two
weeks. Would that give us long
enough?”
“Just about right," said Daddy, “for
you’ll have time enough with a good
deal of hard work to get everything
ready by that time and it won’t be so
long as to make you feel you have all
the time in the world.
“And you can fix very simple cos-
tumes and they’re just as pretty.
They’re easier to get into and they
won’t make your mothers all wish I
had never suggested such a thing!”
Nick and Nancy laughed. “We prom-
ise to dress up in simple things,” they
said.
“And when one boy has something
in the way of a costume which will
make him do for a certain part give
that part to him. That is also a good
idea.
“And one more thing, when you give
your tableaux, have the children who’re
to act in the next tableaux ready while
one Is being given, as then there will
be no waits and waits make audiences
very, very weary.”
And off went Nick and Nancy to get
up a series of tableaux which they de-
cided they would give for the benefit
of a fund they knew of which was be-
ing raised to h«lp city children get to
rhe country. And at the same time they
knew what fun they would all have
getting up the tableaux.
