Atlanta, March 8th, 1912, Buick Motor Co., Flint, Mich. Gentlemen: On Thursday, March Tth, there was held in Montgomery, Ala., an automobile race meet. The races were run on a trotting horse track, one mile in circumference. It had been raining practically a week and the track was muddy. In the twenty-five mile event there were the following cars enter- ed, viz: one E. M. F. 30, the winner of the Tiedeman Trophy Race at Savanah iast November; a brand new racing Stutz, one Olds Autocrat, an Overland, two Flanders racing cars, and one Buick M.-17, 190 mod- el. All cars were stripped for racing. The M.-17 Buick has been driven by a Dr. Sellers since December, 1909. This car was tuned up by a local re- pair man, C. O, Norman, who has al- ways been an enthusiastic Buick man and we might add that his knowledge ot Buick cars is entirely of a practi- cal nature. Mr. Noiman started out and easily took the lead in the first mile, which he¢ maintained until the end of the race, beating the SPECIAL E. M. F. RACER by a half mile; the Stutz and the rest of the bunch having been lapped. Time for the twenty-five miles, 27 minutes and 23 seconds. Very truly, (Signed) R. V. Conneret, Mgr. Atlanta Branch. James ¥. Sullivan, the Buick agent for this territory, says that one car load of Buicks will arrive in Bemidji about May 1st, and a second car will be unloaded in Blackduck shortly af- ter the arrival of the first one here. “My little son had a very severe cold. I was recommended to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and before a small bottle was finished He was as well as ever,” writes Mrs. H, Silk, 29 Dowling Street, Sydney, Aus- tralia. This remedy is for sale by Barker’s Drug Store. Baby's Lips Not to Be Klssed. A baby’s hand may be kissed, but not a baby’s lips. Kisses often convey contaglon, especially in the season when colds are prevalent. A cold in the head is a disagreeable malady, and may be the precursor of a cold slsewhere. The person who has it should keep it, and 8o far as may be possible, establish a strict quarantine lest the cold be given to a friend. Love should be at pains not to spread com tagion by a kiss.—Christian Herald. Impress of a Great Man. In the heart of Africa, among the great lakes, I came across black men and women who remembered the only white man they ever saw before— David Livingstone; and as you cross his footsteps in the dark continent, men’s faces light up as they speak of the kind doctor who passed there years ago. They could not under- stand him; but they felt the love that ! beat In his heart.—Henry Drummond. | Take Life Joyously.

Now that cocoa has become such & popular and necessary _drink, the American factorles are making the best in the world. They buy only the highest class of cocoa beans and use the most improved machinery. Most imported cocoas are not ground suf- ficlently fine, being more or less ground like pepper, while the good American cocoa is as fine and smooth as the best wheat flour, and thus held in solution more readily in milk or water.

Not a Permanent Arrangement. In London the saloons are open on Sundays between the hours of three and five In the afternoon. A couple of roughs were standing in front of one of these accommodations waiting for it to open when a Salvation Army captain who was passing said, “Men, don’t you know that when you enter a saloon you enter hell?” “That’s all ight, old top,” plped one of the roughs, “thel'll throw us out in a couple of bours.” Unwelcome Caller. Two cows were being driven along Causewayend, Aberdeen, Scotland, one recent forenoon, when they ran into a house on Charles street. Before the animals could be ejected, they smash- ed a quantity of furniture, and one of them put a foot through the floor. The mistress of the house, who was in at the time, suffered a severe shock from the unexpected Intrusion on the do- mestic circle. Wax Removed. If candlesticks or the patent holders are unsightly because of wax spots, put them in the oven on a folded newspaper; the heat will melt the wax and most of it will be absorbed by the paper. Wipe them vigorously with a soft cloth or tissue paper ag soon they come from ihe oven. This treat- ment removes every vestige of wax.— Exchange. Best Kind. 'On a country road two ladles met s farmer with a load of wood. The ladles were soclably inclined, and one of them called out chirpingly to the man on the wagon: “What kind of wood have.you on there?’ “This her wooden wood,” was the curt reply.— Woman's Home Companion, What the Backward Child Needs.
