DOCTORS USING AMOLOX WITH GREAT SUCCESS This remarkable letter, coming from a prominent physician engaged in active practice for over 25 -years, proves the merit of this wonderful new remedy:, I have used Amolox in four different caBes with excellent results. All showed marked improvement from the start. Two apparently are cured, the skin being free from scales and redness, and perfectly normal. I consider Amolox a Remedy of rare merit. I know of nothing in the modern text-books that equals it in therapeutic value. Very truly yours. H. R. HtllsV M. D. Pimples on the face, Blackheads, Acne and all minor skin troubles yield quickly to the use of the Amolox Ointment. Sufferers of Eczema, Psoriasis. Tetter, Salt Rheum, and bad chronic cases of skin diseases lasting for years, should use both the Ointment and Solution to effect a cure. Trial size, 50c. Guaranteed and recommended by A. G.

to the place of beginning. It includes fourteen blocks or part blocks and covers approximately twenty-five1 .acres.. . . . -" "Of the total area, 28.6 per cent is in streets; of the block area, 80 per cent.' is built on. Block interior accessibility is good, through alleys or driveways. Streets are 60 to 80 feet wide, mainly 66 feet; they would be of little rvalue as fire breaks under such adverse conditions as may readily occur. There are no parks or similar open spaces in the district. Small Sheds Dangerous. "There are two flreproofa, a 4-story bank and office building, and a twostory telephone exchange, also the semi-fireproof post office; there is a moderate amount of small frame structures, largely sheds and rear additions covering eight per cent, of the built on area; ninety per cent of the construction is joisted brick. Areas are matly small to moderate; twenty-seven buildings and communicating areas of between 6,000 and 10,000 square feet cover twenjty-seven per cent, of the built-on area; eight buildings and communicating areas in excess of 10,000 square feet cover sixteen per cent, of the built-on area. "Heights are moderate; eleven buildings are .'four stories high and one i five stories high; others are three stories or less. "Construction is very poor from a fire prevention standpoint. Exterior walls and party walls are generally light; many are only eight inches thick on the upper story; the National Board of Fire Underwriters building code requires 12-inch exterior walls. Sprinklers Installed. "The warehouse and wholesale section lies along Fort Wayne avenue and North E street from D street to Tenth street. These are four small blocks, closely built with two to four story buildings, mainly of joisted brick. The largest building is of semimill construction. Two large establishments are sprinklered, otherwise there Is little internal protection. Construction is generally light, especially for warehouses; floor, root and window openings are mostly unprotected. The district is exposed on the north by a large railroad station with frame train shed and several factories, and on the east by factories. Streets are narrow, and a fire under headway could easily sweep most of the section. Here is a place where adequate window protection and automatic sprinklers would greatly reduce the conflagration hazard. "We. have no record of any lives being lost by fire or smoke where automatic sprinklers were installed. The danger of smoke is lessened as the smoke has to pass through the drenching spray from the sprinkler and the damaging , qualities are removed. "We have four things to consider before fires can be extinguished. They

are discovery and summons, and response and action. , The : automatic sprinklers discover the fire at once, the alarm or summons is given Immediately through the valves and there Is response and action at once. As an auxiliary to fire departments, sprink

lers are Invaluable as they get to the heart of the fire where men cannot get. In eighteen' years, 95.6 per cent of the automatic sprinklers acted.- In the 4.4 per cent failures, the city water was shut off or the pressure was weak i-:"--. : - '

Reo Cars Are Equipped With Valve-in-the-Head Motors

1915 Improvements

The Most Accesible Automobile in the World What need we add to what you already know of this great car? For, of course, you do know. If you have not owned one, you have many friends who do. And they have doubtless told you in more extravagant terms than I would care to use. The three unit power plant which always has been and always will be a feature of REO automobiles, makes this the most accessible automobile in the world. REO Engineers insist that the only excuse for the 2-unit chassis is that it is easier and cheaper for the manufacturer while it is obviously less accessible and, therefore, more expensive to the owner. You know the type we mean that in which the transmission is incorporated in a kind of annex.to the motor or he rear axle in such a way that in order to make an adjustment or repair to one unit you must disturb two complicated mechanisms. STUDY THE REO CARS, go over each unit separately and note the vast attention and care that has been exercised in the direction of simplicity and accessibility. From season to season we have made such improvements as the progress of science made possible, and as our facilities have increased and our purchasing ability become greater, we have from time to time reduced the price of REO cars at the same time we have increased the quality and size. In the case of this four there are two things we had considered impossible, a bigger at the same time a better, car.
