As a test, these were advertised on the Toronto market and in two days 60 of them were sold. Toronto absorbed al- together about 75 of these cars and the remainder were kept for dis- tribution in other territory. We were allotted only three. These three are now on exhibl- tion at our Garage on Bay street, and will be sold to the first buyers for $995.00, This is the biggest drop in automobile cars that we have have heard of. It is a' chance to get a brand new car for the price of an old one. » - This Model has proved itself to be a great success in every way. It is light, powerful and speedy, very strongly built and very durable; possesses a wonderful motor. PRICE ONLY ....$996.00. .

Dwanty of Frontenne, Been Considered Proper, | (Bhort Talks on Health, the United | States Public Health Service, Washing- ton, D. C.) 71 Well-directed feet are now consider ed to be quite as important to general | health as a well-poised head or an erect carriage. Few people seem to realize | | that many troublesome aliments are | caused by flat or weak feet, and at- | | tribute the nervous depression, pain in | the legs and back and general fatigue | to some other cause, when the feet are | public health service. | Actual "flat foot" is much less com- | mon' than is ordinarily thought. On the other hand, "weak foot" Is very | | common, and If not remedied gradual- | ly leads to flat foot. Recent Investigations have estab- lished the fact that "toeing out" In walking, or Standing, puts an added strain on the arch of the feet. Instead of standing and walking with the feet: forming an angle of about 45 degrees, as formerly advocated in military and | athletic manuals, experts now advo- cate standing and walking with the toes pointed straight forward. This has been found to-be -of 'gheiit assist | ance in remedying, weak and flat feet, | and constitutes what Is known as | walking "Indian fashion." "Toeing straight" should be prac- ticed for a little while, and it will come | easy. Make two parallel lines on the floor, about six inches apart, and walk on them with the toe and heel touch- ing the outside of the line. Follow this up with an exercise such as the fol- lowing: Stand with the feet parallel, with about two Inches between the feet, and rise on the toes anywhere from 20 to 40 times each night and | morning. In standing acquire the | habit of placing the feet a few inches apart, with the same distance between heels and toes. Keep the body weight, | equally supported on both feet. { Do not make the mistake of bellev- | ing that flat feet can be cured by the shoemaker, or by the ordinary arch ' that is sold In shoe stores. The con- dition is one that should be treated by an experienced physician when it falls to respond to the measures outlined above, It Is comparatively easy to remedy | a tendency to weak or flat feet in chil- | dren by teaching them the proper walking and standing posture. Par | ents would do well to teach their chil- dren to walk Indian fashion. Wives' Work. Neither Mr. Hamlin nor Squire Hea- | ton is noted as a worker, but their wives are very industrious, and noth ing gives either gentleman more pleas ure than to boast of the wonderful things that his wife accomplishes. "I don't know what the Red Cross would have done without my wife" sald Mr. Hamlin one day. "She ' nit twenty-five sweaters, seventy-four pairs of socks and one hundred and fifteen wristlets." "That's not a bad record," admit- ted the squire. "In fact, I call it a real goed record for an average knit. ter. Now, I don't know how many ar- ticles my wife turned out for the Red "Cross; she didn't count them. She started to count them, but when she. had knit several hundred articles of every kind she sald counting tired her, and she quit. After that she esti- mated her output by needles." "By needles? What do you mean by needles?' asked Mr. Hamlin, a lit- tle hufiily, "] mean the needles my wife wore out," explained the squire. "She wore out three sets of needles knitting for the Red Cross; and the fourth set was so near wore out when the war ended that they wasn't no thicker than horsehairs."--Youth's Companion. Lived Days in Sealed Box. Joseph Barcroft, a reader of phy- siology at King's college, England, has lived for six days in a hermetically sealed glass box. The experiment arose out of a 30-year-old controversy as to whether it is possible to calcu- late the amount of oxygen In the blood from a knowledge of the amount of oxygen 'in the breath. The test was also made to demonstrate whether It was necessary that alrmen should have oxygen apparatus when flying at great heights. It proved that exygen was necessary to flying men, but it did not show to what height they could fly with safety. While In the box Barcroft kept a record of his sen- sations and made scientific observa- tions. He sald he suffered from sleep- lessness, but otherwise did not experi- If we could see ourseives ak others 860 us we might not care to take a second look.

Mud-spattered, high power motor- cars, careering along military roads, replaced foam-flecked chargers In the work of carrying generals and thelr staffs in the World war when it came to the actual business of a campaign. No panting charger carried a Well. ington from a town 20 miles away--a motorcar did the work in 20 minutes without exciting comment. But the horse was not entirely robbed of his glorious place in the war. Motor- cars might do the work better in act- pal campaigns, but when ft came to the pomp and panoply the horse was not entirely robbed of his glory. An army headed by a fat general cud- dled in the deep upholstery of a mere machine would not stir the imagina- tion. He must sit on a prancing, arch-necked steed and return . the cheers with sharp salutes while ban- dling his mettlesome mount. So It was that the high officers of the allies had horses for ceremonial occasions. 10 for 18¢ 20 « 35°¢ Warning to Airmen Who Smake.
