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

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.

MARKET CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Better Inquiry: Feeliiisr Among Pro

A better inquiry' Is reported for cer

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

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

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

cents a pound above the opening
prices of the week. Lamb and button
also advanced two cents a pound. Mut
ton was quoted at 15% cents whole

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.

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.
