BIG CUR SHIES 1 WW EM Oldstnobile Sales Manager Asserts Small Four Is Great Aid to Large Car Sales __ Rumors to the effect that the intro i duction of a small four cylinder cur ; on the market by the manufacturers j 'he Oldsmobile is the precursor of ;an exclusive small car production I were set at naught by J. V. Hall. Sales .Manager of the Olds Company who ; asserts that their lower priced model is proving an aid and not a hindrance to the sale of higher priced cars. Light is cast by Mr. Hall on the sub ject which has been considerably dls cussed araonu automobile manufactur , ers: what effect does the production j of a small car have on sale of a high ier priced model? It is natural to as-I l! sume. he states, that the output of the I j Olds factories would be confined more i and more to the less expensive cars. j for which there is a more wide spread | demand; but in actual practice the contrary has happened. While the ; preponderance of demand favors the ■ | lower priced car there has been a con- II sistent increase in the demand tor big i j cars since the marketing of the small • car model was begun. j This was attributed to the influence brought to bear on huyers by seeing a great many new Oldsmobile cars on the streets of the large cities and also to the fact that, except for size, the new four cylinder model has a strik ing similarity in appearance to the "big six" Oldsmobile. 1 "More over the bringing out of the lower priced car." asserts Hall, "has entailed the appointment of over 400 new dealers since the first day of i August, 1914 and this increase in re presentation has greatly improved the possibilities for selling large cars; for not a few of our new dealers located in out of the way places are discover ing that among the residents of a small town there are one or two peo ple of sufficient means to purchase and maintain a large car. Conse quently we are receiving orders for six cylinder cars from sources we could not by any chance have reached with our previous representation when our dealers were located almost entir ely in big cities. "Even though the small town deal er considers the smaller type of car as his meal ticket, still he does not hesitate to talk the more expensive model when he believes there is any chance of closing a sale," Hall says, "and the handicap of not having a big six demonstrator on hand is largely offset by the fact that the four cylin der car is so near like the six In ap pearance." RATE IU3GVI/ATION PREDICTED Expert Declares Competitive Schedule Will <io In Few Years Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. Nov. 7. —That the day will come, within the next few years, when the freight rates on water traffic through the Panama Canal will be regulated through the agency of the Interstate Commerce Commission, was the prediction made by Emory R. Johnson, a member of the faculty of the Wharton School of Accounts and Finance of the University of Penn sylvania. a member of the State Pub lic Service Commission and an au thority on the transportation facilities of the Panama Canal, last night, at a smoker in the Robert Morris Club, Eighteenth and Cherry streets. Dr. C. C. Harrison, president \>f the club, presided. The first effect of the opening of the Panama Canal, said Dr. Johnson, is the active and open competition be tween the steamship and railway lines. Each branch of traffic is trying to outdo the other in making cheap rates for the carrying of *oods from coast to coast, he asserted. When both branches get the traffic they desire, then the rates will settle down to a normal basis. DECRIES INTEMPERATE TALKS Many Guilty of Eugenic Calamity- Howling.

MARKET CONDITIONS IMPROVING Better Inquiry: Feeliiisr Among Pro ducer* IteeomiiiK More Cheerful A better inquiry' Is reported for cer tain lines of steel, but the tonnages in volved continue to run verv small. Sentiment among the producers is un questionably more cheerful and defi nite improvement in the volume of buying by domestic consumers is look ed for soon owing to the very low state of stocks. The London correspondent of Tron Age says: "Pig Iron is very slow. Home export makers want orders, but prices keep wonderfully steady con sidering everything. Hematite pig shows weakness and ore is falling. Nothing is being done in ferroman ganese. which Is quoted at £l2 ($58.39). Furnaces in blast are 160, against 187 last year. Stocks of pig iron in Connal's stores are 104,991 tons, against 107,725 last week. Semi finished steel is easy, but British prices are cheaper than American, though the latter seem more inclined to cut In. It is impossible to trace any se rious business yet. The demand for finished steel is poor and prices are easing down continually, while Amer ican independents are more anxious for business. Tin plates are rather steadier, mainly on the tin position, and a big line of quarters for the East was sold at 13s. ($3.16.)"

Madame Ise'hell Gives Some Sensible Advise on a Beauty- Destroying Skin Trouble ACNE. There Is hardly a day that someone dots not write me asking for relief from that most disfiguring fcjrra of skin trou ble known as acne. Acne Is eral health. but It is one of the anomalies of the dis ease that people apparently In excellent general health suffer from It. Not a Blood Trouble. Properly speaking acne Is not a blood trouble; It comes from a deflection or clogging up of the sebaceous glands, and It is possible that It is accompanied with certain changes In the cellular structure of the skin. It Is, therefore, a trouble of the skin, although, as the skin Is fed by the capillaries, it Is affected by any thing that affects the condition of the blood. Indigestion, nervousness, anything that causes flushing, are all contributory causes to acne. There Is a white acne which shows no Inflammation at all, but the most common form of this trouble has a marked red Inflammation with pimples, nore or less severe, and a more troublesome case will show hard, blood-filled lumps that itch and burn before they suppurate. Acne of this sort Is apt to leave scars, and the greatest care should be taken In removing tHe pus, that the skin Is not torn or msl treated. What Not to Eat or Drink. In laying down a diet for the ameliora tion of acne a safe, general rule Is as follows: Avoid constipation and eat and drink nothing that irritates the stomach or causes Indigestion, flattulency or acidi ty. Confine the diet to chicken, roasted or grilled meats, well baked stale bread, or toast, and vegetables, simply cooked and seasoned. In some cases acid fruit, like oranges or grape fruit, should not be taken on an empty stomach, but fruit and salads should be freely eaten. An excess of starchy food Is bad for all skin troubles and many people who live simply end healthfully In most respects take too much starchy food. Large quantities of bread, potatoes or rice should not be ta ken at the same meal. Condiments, such as mustard, pickles, pepper, catsup, should be shunned by anyone suffering from acne or flushing. Hot soup and hot drinks will often In crease the trouble for the moment by •ending the blood to the skin and so dilat ing the capillaries. Alcoholic drinks, even In moderation, are strictly forbidden, and the same embargo should be put on tea and coffee If they are taken in such quan tities as to Irritate the stomach or affect the nerves. Keep the Blood Stirring. We want to get the blood In the best condition possible. If the diet has been properly regulated, let us look to other agents affecting the general health, such as exercise and bathing. Take a four mile walk every day, rain or shine, and supplement this good work by deep breathing exercises and ten minutes' physical exercises on arising. Keep the body scrupulously clean with » warm cleansing bath a.t nfght and cold sponge bath In the morning, and If a cold plunge agrees with the system, that la. If NOVEMBER 7, 1914.

Mut ton was quoted at 15% cents whole sale. The increases, except In the price of beef were attributed to short age in the local supply, most of which Is obtained from Chicago. WASHINGTON "DRY" BY 11,000 Sfecial to The Telegraph Tacoma, Nov. 7.—Nearly complete returns show that Washington cast nearly 350.000 votes in Tuesday's elec tion. Statewide prohibition, effective January 1, 1916, received a majority of 14,000. there Is good reaction afterwards. It will have an excellent tonic effect. Local treatment for acne will be taken up In the following lesson. Local Treatment Local treatment for acne takes the form of many medicinal lotions of which sulphur Is a favorite Ingredient and these should be prescribed by a physician and used according to directions. I am go ing to confine myself to simple remedies that experience has shown will sometimes cure and always In a measure help this trouble. There are certain toilet creams pro vided for acne sufferers that are often very beneficial, especially If the skin Is dry and impoverished. Other cases of acne, the oily kind where there Is con siderable pus, Is best treated by drying the skin. I recommend for this the old fashion soap treatment which Is given as follows: After tho face Is thoroughly cleaned at night cover the affected part with a layer of common yellow soap and let It dry and remain on the skin over night. In the morning wash It off gently with warm water and then bathe with cold. No Need to Fear Face Powder. A good face powder will not Increase acne; on the contrary It will help It by protecting the skin and relieving Irrita tion. To make the powder stay evenly on the skin rub In gently a little good toilet cream before applying. Acne affected skin should be treated with the greatest gentleness. Inflamed Spot* and Pimples. The hard. Itching spots characteristic of certain forms of acne are often helped by painting with white tincture of lodine. Be sure and get the white, colorless, as It is sometimes called, for the dark lodine will stain the skin, and It is also too strong to use TOT this trouble. If the Inflamed spot is treated In this way In the beginning, the Inflammation will often be dispersed: If not the pimple will be brought to a head and the white spot dis tinctly visible. It should be opened with a needle sterilized by passing through a hot flame, the matter pressed out care fully with clean fingers a little peroxide of hydrogen applied and the spot then covered with a healing cream. A pimple properly opened and cleaned will not continue affecting the skin; If the pus is not properly cared for It may go on form ing new Irritation. With acne the ordinary wash cloth should be avoided unless It Is boiled dally. A soap-caked and germ-Infested wash cloth Is one of the most frequent causes of this trouble. The face should be cleansed with pieces of fresh absorbent cotton or squares of old linen discarded afterwards or boiled for reuse. The dry ing towel should also be of soft linen; old table linen Is best for this purpose. A Stubborn Trouble. Acne Is often stubborn and difficult to cure. It Is more prevalent In youth and people often, as the expression Is, outgrow It. Permanent cures are generally made by attention to small details In regard to local treatment and toning up the gen eral health In the manner Indicated In the last lesson. Nervous troubles are often accompanied by a mild form of acne which disappears when the nerve health has been regained. Do not make this trouble worse by undue sensitiveness regarding It. It Is curable and every effort should be made to cure It, but If It Is allowed to affect either the nerves or the temper a cure will be much retarded. After Effects of Banting. T have had several Inquiries as to tha after results of whether after TAIT FAVORS INCREASED ARMY South Hadley, Mass., Nov. 7. —An Increase in the army and navy was strongly advocated to-day by ex-Presl dent Taft, who spoke at founder's day exercises at Mount Holyoke College.

"I wonder what Gwendoline is doing at this precise moment?" He was thinking one day, when a brilliant idea struck him, and ho visited a spiritualist medium. "What," said Percy, "is Gwendoline doing?" "She is looking out of the window," replied the medium, "presumably ex pecting someone." "Ah!" continued the medium. "Some one enters the house, and sho caresses him fondly.

"You lie," roared the jealous hus band »srain. having reduced to a certain weight a woman must continue the strict diet to keep there. This seems to depend on -Per sonal peculiarities. I have Just recei red a most gratifying letter from a former pupil who under my directions four years ago reduced about twenty pounds. She sends me a photograph of herself which shows that she had not gained any flesh since leaving my hands and writes of her experience In keeping to her present weight. This pupil was a woman well past fifty and she had been gradually accumulat ing excess flesh for the past twelve or fifteen years ever since she gave up tho bicycle and horseback riding. She was a woman with a good appetite and good di gestion and, as the saying Is. she "lived well." At the moment she began work ing under my directions she was not In * position to take much exercise, so to re duce we depended almost entirely oa diet. She cut out sweets, starch and fat She confined herself almost entirely to grilled meat, green vegetables and salad without butter or oil and toasted bread with s6me fruit. The reduction was gradual, for the flesh was of the solid variety and not the result of any very bad habits, but It amounted to two and u half to three pounds a week. After she got her figure to the normal point she found by experimenting that she could relax her diet sufficiently to eat any ordinary meal served. She now writes that she weighs herself every ten days and If she finds that she has gained even a pound, she goes back to her dlat giving up the little sweet or the little fat she allowed herself. All women are not so fortunate and la many Instances any Indulgences beyond those prescribed In the diet mean In creased flesh. I think, however, the Im portant point In the case we are discuss ing was that my friend had lost the habit of eating hearty meals: the enforced diet had reduced her natural appetite, and she was therefore less Inclined to put on flesh. Another pupil writes me that she has re duced from 180 to 164 pounds and Is nearly the proper weight for her height and age. She has not only dieted but walked five miles dally and exercised In her room morning and night, but she writes that the sacrifice Is well worth It. "The sense of freedom and lightness that I have." she writes, "Is worth any sacrifice. Under no circumstances shall I allow myself again to be burdened with flesh." To Whiten tho Neck. The fashion of wearing the neck e*. posed makes the condition of the skla most Important and I have numerous re quests for some method of getting rid of the dark spots that so often come be hind and Just below the ears. There are a good many bleaching creams and lo tlons on the market more or lass effeo tlve. The strongest bleach that can be safely used, however, Is a Ave per cent solution of oxygen water. Put this on the neck three times a week at night after the skin has been thorough washed with warm water and let It dry on the skin. In the morning rub a good face cream Into the skin and on the nights that you do not use the oxygen water leave a coating of cream on over night. This will prevent any undue drying effect. I do not. however, recommend this treat ment for the face unless the skin la very thick and oily. Strong oxygen water will also bleach hair pure white, but It may have a bad affect on the health of the hair, and tt should also be remembered that the bleach will not affect the new hair grow ing out which will appear the natural color. y%kt» n 7
