PEW HORSE-DRAWN VEHICLES
Carriage and Wagon Builders Have
About Given Up That Branoh of
of the Buainee*.
The members of a ffl-m .formerly
prominent in selling horse-drnwn ve
hicles on the Pacific coast give some
Interesting figures showing how the
carriage And rfagon builders have lost
business, due to the ■ inroads of the
automobile Industry in the transporta
tion field.
It seems that there were 14,00rt bug
gies sold in Los Angeles county alone
.In 1896, and 0,500 wagons. Two years
business thereafter declined steadily.
It is doubtful If 100 buggies a year
are sold now In California. Salesmen
xyorking In rural N dlstaricts used to sell
an average of two buggies a day and
more sets of harness. One prominent
wagon builder sold >$8,000,000 worth
of horse-drawn vehicles In 1896. • In
IPOo they stopped manufacturing them
and concentrated their production fa
cilities on mrttorcars, which they had
gradually developed as their wagon
trade decreased.
Not all firms were so far-sighted or
fortunate, however, and many fac
tories that formerly manufactured
thousands of horse-drawn vehicles are
but a memory. Most wagon builders
of progressive mind installed motor-
ear departments and are now reaping
a harvest as manufacturers of special
truck aud van bodies to be fitted to
standard motorcar truck chassis, work 1
for which their mechanical equipment,
working forces and experience are par
ticularly well adapted.
It ir. proposed, to introduce the com
mtinily laundry in (he rural sections
of Ontario ax one means of lighten
ing the work of farmers’ wiN-s.

MOTOR FUEL SUPPLY SHORT
Gasoline Cannot Re Relied On to Fill
Demand—Alcohol the Coming
v Power.
Mineral oils vary very much In their
makeup. Those of Mexico are particu
larly rich in the heavier ingredients,
and are therefore excellently adapted
for use as fuel. The lighter oils yield
more kerosene and gasoline.
The prospect of gasoline supply of
fers some reafeon for anxiety. It has
been Increased enormously within the
Fast ten years, but the growth of the
output has been only one-third aa
great as the growth of the automobile
Industry. There are onw 7,500,000 au
tomobiles in the United States; by the
end of the present year there will be
0,000.000.
Nothing Is more certain than that
the supply of gasoline will not keep
pace with the Increasing demand. We
shall have to look to coal tar as a
source of motor fuel. Already “ben-
eol.” a hy-pYoduct of the distillation of
bituminous coal. Is being used for thla
purpose in considerable quantities. An
other fuel available (If carburetors and
cylinders are redesigned) !»' alcohol,
which can be .obtained in unlimited
quantities from molasses, unmarket
able potatoes, and all sorts of vege

Watching Life of Plants.
From fuller Information, now at
hand in regard to the machine by aid
of which the Indian scientist. Sir J.
C.. Bose, lias been making visible in
London the Ingrowth of plants, shows
that he does much more than make
visible what everybody already knew—
that plants increase in size. He also
has revealed that, the growth of a
plant is by no means steady or con
tinuous—that It h: affected by many of
the influences besides mere nutriment
that* affect the growth of animals. In
short, this machine, which is called a
crescograph ntnl magnifies movement
a million times, proves that plants are
much more alive than it is customary
to credit them with being, and it is not
an altogether fanciful notion that
wjien the facts In relation to plant
life become better known, something
of consideration for their “feelings”
and something of compunction about
treating them cruelly may develop.
Pharmacy Popular.
Pharmacy Is a popular pursuit
among the women of South America,
according to a Y. >V. ft. A. leader In
that country, because it Is a protected
profession and is considered womanly.
South American girls have not gone
Into public life and Into the business
world and the trades as North Ameri
can girls have and still consider, as a
rule, only the so called protected lines
of work. They teach and sew and a
few have become typists and stenog
raphers, but most women who take up
any profession train for nursing, medi
cine or pharmacy.,, Chemistry is also
a popular study.

GLAD TOTESTIFY
Says Watoga Lady, “As To What
Cardui Has Done For Me, So
As To Help Others.”
Watoga, VV. Va.—Mrs. S. W. Glad we!!,
of this town, says: “When about 15 years
of age, 1 suffered greatly ... Sometimes
would go a month or two, and I had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing-
down pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then ... it would las!
... two weeks, .and was so weakening,
and my health was awful.
I My mother bought me a bottle’ ot
Cardui, and I began 1o improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I
look three . .. P gained, and was well
and strong, and I owe it all to .Cardui.
I am married now and have 3 children
. .. Have never had to have a doctor for
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
j if I need a tonic. I am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others.”
If you are nervous or weak, have head
aches, backaches, or any of the. other
ailments so common to women, why no!
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
many physicians. In use over 40 years.
Begu; taking Cardui today. It may
be the very medicine you need.
