= Greatest Automobilist in the World Will Tell in Seven Lessons Just How a Horseless Machine Should Be Managed. He Lays Down Rules Necessary to Suc- cess, and Says that Any One Who Ob- serves Them Needs No Other Instruction. Henri Fournier, champion automobilist of the world, con- ceded here and in Europe to be the most expert manipulator of the horseless machine that has yet been seen, hus prepared for The Evening World a series of lessons on “How to Manage an Automobile.”’ The lessons will be six in number, and will be illustrated by photographs for which Mr. Fonrnier has posed. A gencral outline of the scope and charac- y one why reads them atten- tively will have no difficulty in) running a machine. The first lesson will appear to-morrow.

'T> be a good chauffeur it is necessary to’nave begun several years before. The man who rides a bicycle, who drives horses, who knows anything at M1 about steering, 1s the man who will make a successful automobilist. If he does none of theso things, however, it will not prevent him being an expert, but It will take him longer to become one. The importance of being a good steers- man cannot be overestimated. I place {t frst in, any rules for automobiling, and this ts perfectly reasonable. For tt should be remembered that a train has a track ‘and horses have in- telligence, but an automobile is in the world to ahift for itself. It 1s wholly dependent upon the hand on the wheel. If an engine !s Once started tt will run so long as.the fails lle ahead of it, without the help of anybody but the Mreman. If a team of horses feel the reins loose upon thelr necks they will usually keep the road. But an automo- bile Rae &o track, no Intelligence, noth- ing but the constantly actiyo hand of ths driver on its wheel and his alert eye on the road. ahead. ‘The secon@ pecessary qualification for @ successful chauffeur {g-that he be confident. But the third one, which almost ougat to be the second one, is that he be not too confident. To have enough confidence and yet not have too much are rules of equal {mportance. Half the automobile accidents’ are caused by the overconfidence of those running the machines. Most of the wrecked machina of which one reads come about, not with beginners at the wheel, but with expenenced automobil- ists, who scem to belleve they can do 30 wrong, The machine ts so perfectly easy to manage that they thinx they can relax their vigilance.

By this I mean that, though the two levers grade the speed and though the eteering wheel manages the course of the machine, yet the feet a only operate the brake which assists tn graduating the speed but they bring the machine to a complete standstill: #0 that, even though the lever be pushed forward, indicating that the machine will go forward when released, and even {bough the speed lever is at the notch Indicating the very highest speel of sixty Miles an hour, still, without chang- ! ing elther lever or without pressing the button in the wheel i governing: the motor, he machine ma} rougnt to a com- p ete stop by pressing the right pedal- ke. CAUSE OF DEAFNESS. The Most Common Cause Only Re- centiy Discovered. It has been stated on good medical thority that nine-tenths of cases of ness are caused from catarrh or from sore throat trouble, The little tube which leads to tho car from the throat {s lined with a sort of vel- vety structure called mucous membrane. This membrane 1s simply a continuation of the mucous membrane lining tho throat. When disease of any sort attacks the nfu- cous membrane of the throat tt Is very Mable to extend tnto the Eustachian tube and up Into the ear. ‘The history of nearly all cases of deatnors fo like this: A cold {s contracted and neg- lected, other colds are taken, the throat bo- contes sore and inflamed, which | vated by varticles of dust and ge: {he alr, This condition causes the disease to spread into tho tube that leads to the ear, It seems a little far-fetched to say that moat casus of deafness aro caused from ca- tarrh, but it fs certainly true, and any ono who has had a severe catarrhal cold must have noticed how the hearing was affected while the cold lasted. With catarrh sufferers this {mpairment of hearing becomes chronic and grows worse the longer. the catarrh Is noglected. You can cure eatarrh and deafness by tho regular use of an excéllent new proparation called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed of antiseptic remedies which act on tho mucous membranes, but principally and most effectually on the blood,: eliminating the catarrhal poison from the system. People whose bearing is defective may think it a Ittle remarkable that a s{inplo and harmless tablet would very often re- move all traces of deafness, but when it ts remembered that catarrh causes the deaf- ness and that the catarrh is easily cured by the regular uso of Stuart's Catarrh Tablots there {8 no mystery about It.
