Are Your Top and Side Curtains Gray and Dusty?

If so, you, yourself, can easily, quickly and inexpen- sively make them look like new with

JOHNSON'S BLACK-LAC

It will only take an hour or two and the car is ready for use immediately as this wonderful product dries instantly One coat gives a rich, black, waterproof finish-just like new.. For Mohair or Leather Tops

J

Johnson's Black-Lac gives equally good results on mohair, leather and imitation leather tops. It goes on easily and quickly without a lap or streak. It does not rub off on the hands or clothing. Just the thing for renewing automobile and carriage upholstery.

For Worn Metal Parts

Johnson's Black-Lac should be used to touch up worn, rusty fenders, tire rims, running boards, radiators, lamps, guards- and in fact all metal parts. It is not only a matter of making your car look better, but in using Johnson's Black-Lac, deteri oration, rust and destructive wear are prevented.

We have now had a week of the railway strike, and if you could fail-in all Londoners for medical inspection you would find that the "health curve" has taken on a distinctly upward tendency. The sum total of health in London to-day is un- doubtedly greater than it was a week ago.

And if instead of looking at tongues, you could test tempets. you would also find that there is more good temper and cheerful- ness in London to-day than there was last Saturday.

For it is a curious fact about. the particular kind of buman nature that we stock in this country, that we are never really at our best except when we are having to rise to the occasion

to meet some crisis or emer- gency.
