If some of the figures that lie hid in automobile statistics do not show that, it would be interesting to have some genius point out what they do show. The automobile is barely past the Htage where it was classed as a novelty. Twelve years ago few people outside of I come up higher,” and the angels closed the larger cities had seen one.

Mobley as lovely a human flower as ever gladdened the hearts of fond parents. For 21 years and two months this winRome young lady, Au relia Speer, brightened and sweetened the home of her parents. Hope sang alluring songs of a long and happy fu ture, and beauty and grace held out its golden promise. The deathless tendrils of 'love intertwined her sweet young life with thtit of the fond home circle. Hut one day s > sad on earth, so sweet in heaven-God said, "It is enough; Found Lost Baby Visiting Saloons. New York.—Miss Addie Shor, who broke into the Hrooklyn directory just three months ago, had the time of her young life yesterday. Some fools don’t approve of young girls going into bus iness, but what could the poor baby do? She was seated in her car, a high- geared 1D09 model, in front of her pa rents’ home, No. 281 State street, when a handsome stranger, whose speech was steadier than his spokes, came along and chucked her under the chin. It so happened that Addie’s papa and j eration. Neglectful City Parents.

And the peculiar feature about this automobile building is that it is not cheap machines that are being built principally, nor machines that are to he put to practical use for commer cial or industrial purposes, but that by far the greater part will be high-priced high-power machines that is, pleasure cars. The estimated average cost of machines to be built next year is $1,160. Think of 200,000 automobiles to be bought by our people at an average cost of $ 1,400! It seems now that everybody who can afford to own an automobile is already supplied, and that many who cannot really afford it are also supplied. Hut the builders will build 200,000 more, and expect to sell them, and they must have some fair idea as to what the de mands of the trade will be. The Amer ican people have simply gone automo bile crazy. Because everybody who is anybody has an automobile, everybody else who wants to make believe they are uomebody must also have an automo bile. At $1,400 each the 200,000 automo biles will represent an outlay of $28.- 000,000 for the first cost of the ma chines. How many of these buyers will incur a debt in this purchase which they will not be able to bear? How many will fail meet obligations which they would have met otherwise? And the first cost of the machine is only a !> 'ginning. They are expensive to maintain, and millions of dollars will go in this way. And a still greater outlay will he required for the accesso ries that go with automobiling, for ap pearances must he kept up. Ho there is something portentous of evil in this statement, that 200.060 auto mobiles are to be built an I sold to the American people next year. It will be the beginning of individual ruin for many. It is a fearful economic waste, (for these 206,000 joy ride machines should cease!

Hut the most skilled nursing and tender care, nor prayers nor tears, availed to keep her here. She was taken from her suffer ing to rest in heaven on Oct. ill, 1909. Sweet, pure darling! God Himself bade thee unfold thy white wings, and fly away to a bright and happy home “in the land without a tomb.” Her beautiful form rested among the sweet flowers the fairest of them all, like some angel awaiting its wings, while her stainless spirit stood pure and white around the radiant court of heaven. In the calling of this precious soul to a happy home there has been left be hind a Borrowing multitude to mourn their great loss. "Amid our bitter pnrrow.

And (), what grief and sorrow pierced our hearts when we were told that “Aure lia is dead!” Those who knew her best loved her most, and her bright, cheer ful presence will linger in our memory for all time. It is hard to think that we shall nev er again see her bright eves sparkle with mirth, or hear her sweet laughter ring out in merriment as of yore. Hut we know her gentle spirit will, hover over the loved ones left behind, and while she cannot come to us we can go to her. and it is sweet to think she is waiting and watching for us “lar be yond the sunset's radiant glow.” ".“'ho ahull play with us in the ,‘rnldon street will represent7,000,Odd horse-power,) a well as otherwise, and an unjustifiable j (““j*’' ’ ‘ ’ ‘ * She nwulrt the sunshine, tbin deur erirl, rilll*. tril.il. tins side of the Kates of pearl." ill the angel.- up in heaven!

Bystanders were sur prised when they saw the man wheel the carriage and its precious burden through the swinging doors of a saloon half a block away. “Make it milk for the lady and mix me something about three foet deep,” was the instructions to the . bartender. Those who were in the place at the time say that Addie drained her glass to the last drop. Addie began to gug, gug, gug, when the men crowded around her and began passing compli mentary remarks. “She trying to tell you that she hasn’t got the price with her or she’d blow the house. So long, fellows. Away we go.” Addie had reached her fourth cafe on the trip and her little tummy was fo full of milk she was on the point of calling for cigars when Po licemen Carsman and White came through the door on the run and grabbed the carriage. In their eager ness to see if the baby was unharmed they permitted her pilot to get away, but when Mr. and Mrs. Shor arrived a few minutes later and found Addie con- ; tentedl.v chewing on her right heel they [ were too thankful to think of the man. When Addie’s papn and mamma got back to where they had left the carri age and found it had disappeared each blamed the other for neglecting the baby. Then they informed police head quarters, and the policemen had little trouble in trailing the pair.

That the automobile is a useful ma chine cannot be disputed, but. that the automobile is a serious menace socially is also only too apparent. Bottle-Fed Melon. A “bottle-fed” watermelon was re cently shown at a fair in one of the me! m districts of Colorado, which ciused a good deal of interest and amusement. The grower, an amateur, explained how h • had produced a melon that weighed tweniy-four pounds, when the shipping variety only had to weigh fourteen pounds by requirement. lie said he had selected a healthy vine, pinched off all the "runners” hut the one with the selected melon, which at that time was about the size of a small cucumber, and gave evidence of being a promising specimen. Then he had pinched off the other buds and growing melons on that runner, so that the entire strength of the plant went into the melon left. Then through the stern of the melon he had made a slit. Through this slit a common lamp wick was gently forced and the other end of the wieksubmerg. ed into a bottle tilled with sweetened water. That was all. '[ iie melon grew apace, and outstripped os brothers on the neighboring vines. The bottle had to be renewed about once a week, it being a quart beer bottle. When the time came that the melon gave forth the right “punk'’ sound, which The peculiar properties of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy have been thor oughly tested during epidemics of in fluenza, and when it was taken in time we have not heard of a single ease of pneumonia.

Sick kidneys ex crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The hack aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur, and the vic tim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright’s disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. - Delay often proves fatal.

CURES RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is a specific blood fermentation, a souring of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating in the blood stream. This uratic impurity conics usually as a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct effect on the eliminative members of the body, which prevents the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse re mains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs. Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The pain of Rheumatism is caused-by the contact of tile sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiff ening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood deposits the uric acid into the joints, and siowly the natural fluids are dried up ami destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma tism is sometimes inherited, forlikeaU blood diseases it can be transmitted to offspring. This explains why some persons are afflicted with the disease, and suffer its pains, who have otherwise been perfectly healthy. S.S.S. cures Rheumatism and cures it permanently. It goes into the circu lation, and removes the uric acid, purifies the blood, and in this wav destroys the cause. S. S. S. changes the blood from a sour, acid-steeped stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which quiets the excited nerves, eases the throbbing muscles and painful joints, and filters out of the circulation tile irritating matter which causes every painful symptom of the disease. When the blood lias been purified and enriched by S.S.S., it nourishes the different members that have been weakened and starved because of imperfect blood Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all who write.
