Mrs. W. Spurgeon Sparks has an
nounced the engagement of her

It has been discovered that air
sickness is sometimes relieved by
breathing into a paper bag. Car
bon dioxide exhaled and then in
haled provides relief.
It is estimated that one-third of
the carloads of manufactured
freight shipped on the railroads
can be traced to the automobile.
