Sle" Wine and Work The biography of Sir Wilfred Lawson, which has just been published, contains a good story of Mr. Gladstone's physi- cian, Sir Andrew Clark. He once rec- ommended his illustrious patient to take Gladstone expressed some this, as he believed Sir Andrew was a “temperance doctor."? Sir Andrew replied: “Oh. wine does sometimes help you to get through work. wine, Mr. surprise at For instance, I have often twenty letters to answer after dinner, and a pint of champagne is a great help “Indeed,” remiarked Mr. Gladstone, “does a pint of champagne really help you to answer the twenty letters?" “No, no,"? Sir Andrew explained, “but when I've had a pint of cham- pagne I don’t care a rap whether I an- swer not.""—Dundee Adver- tiser. them or FACTORY IN NEW YORK CITY LICENSED UNDER SELDEN PATENT GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR Do you know of any standard six cylinder car with 127-inch wheel- base which sells for $3,500? Do you know of any car at any price which combines a fast, powerful motor, a four speed and reverse selective type transmission with direct drive on third speed, a multiple disc clutch, Imported Ball Bearings throughout, drop forged I-Beam front axles, Bosch Magneto, etc.? Four Brakes in- ternal expanding and equalized, all on rear wheels? No other car made to-day combines all of these features, although each feature is in use in some standard high grade make selling at $4,000 or over. Some otherwise excellent cars use the old style inferior cone-face clutch, some use roller bearings—although annular ball bearings are known to be the best prac- tice as well as the most costly—some use only three speed transmissions instead of four. When you do find a car which has nearly all the standard features com- bined in the Palmer-Singer you find that if it has the same bore and strokeand the same wheelbase, its price is from $5,000 to $6,000. Inother words you paya far higher price for less excellence of de- sign and construc- tion, less efficien- cy and per- formance. Please send vechnical de- scription of your cars to Name. Address ci Every feature in use in the Palmer-Singer line is STANDARD. Not only is every feature in use in the best cars of Europe and America, but in each instance it is a feature to which these other makers using it point with pride. Furthermore all these features have been combined in Palmer- Singer cars for over two years and have been adjusted and refined with relation to one an- other in a way which is impossible to obtain in the makes which offer some of them in com- bination forthe first time in their 1910 models. We have printed a very interesting Speci- fication Sheet showing the specification and price of all the six cylinder cars at or near the Palmer-Singer price. We would like you to compare them carefully and SEE FOR YOURSELF just what you get when you buy a Palmer-Singer—in comparison with any other make on the market.

SBA, The Duke of Durham The late Mr. Washington Duke, of Darham, North Carolina, at home known as “Uncle Wash,’? who manufactured tobacco products so extensively for a quarter of a century, used to tell a quaint little story on himself.“ The first time I traveled abroad,” he said, “I vis- ited Brussels. and went to sec all its sights. In one of the public buildings I found an ordinary looking armchair carefully railed off and with a chain across its front. Being tired with a hard morning of tramping, I stepped over the fence, let down the chain and, with a big sigh of relief, dropped into this chair, the only one I had scen in the building. A guard in lace and buttons was on me at once. “No sitting in that chair!’ he blus- tered. ‘See the card on the back? The Duke of Wellington once occupied that chair!’ “*Well, and what of it?’ I returned, cool as a cucumber. ‘I'm Duke of Dur- bam, and alive at that!’ “This settled the matter.
