YOUNG COUPLE ARE ON
LONG AND BEAUTIFUL TRIP
Making Tour of the Western Country
LeisureIy in Big Winton Without
Particle of Worry or Trouble

One Of the very prettiest and fairest
of young women motorits arriving in
Los Angeles the other day and is still
here, although preparing again to leave
the city soon, is Mrs. w. G.. Selby,
who, with her husband, Travelled across
the continent in their Little Six Win
ton, and have been leisurely touring
the country, and judging from the most
invitingly healthy appearance of Mrs.
Selby, as well as her husband, their
trip has assuredly been of more than
pleasure, for physically the doctors
have been cheated of any possibility
of enrolling the couple upon their book
as their clients.
Mr.. and Mrs. selby left Cleveland,
their home as well as the home OF
their favorite car, the morning of the
Fourth Of July, and ever since that an
niversary day of independence have
been on the go. They came to the
Pacific coast by way of the northern
route to Seattle, thence to Tacoma
Portland, Ore, and then to San Fran
cisco, coming here later via the coast
route.
AS Mr.. Selby said yesterday: 1--WE
have certainly had a most enjoyable
trip so far of over two months, and we
have just logged along at our pleasure
seeing the magnificent scenery of the
western states, and a pleasant ano
profitable visit to the Alaska a-YulIon
exposition.
"As Mrs Selby drives the car quite
as well as anybody can we have just
taken turn about at the wheel, have
never had stop or a particle OF
trouble since leaving Cleveland. This
little Winton car of ours which you
see here is certainly the car for us
and for people who wish to go some
where, experience the real enjoyments
of automobile touring unaccompa!nieo
by the many delays and vexations OF
troubles with engines and motors. We
have Travelled over 5000 miles and have
not had a particle of trouble, our car
running now just as smoothly as the
morning we left Cleveland. We shall
leave for the east within the next day
or two, going via the southern route
arriving home in about month"
Mr.. and Mrs. Selby have been max
ing their headquarters at the w. d
Howard Motor Car company, agents
for the Little Six Wintons, and Mrs
Selby has been the admiration of Case
line Row for her personal beauty and
modest, pleasing personality, as wei
as her familiarity with all the points ot
motor cars.

Good Record on Diamonds

Writing to the Diamond Rubber
company of this city under date of
September Is, Sidney Kingsbacker of
the Capitol Milling company says:
"In reply to yours of the 18th I am
glad to say that the Diamond tires,
with which my standardization car
is equipped, have given me excellent
satisfaction. In going ten thousand
miles over the good and bad roads of
Southern California I have only had
five punctures. After covering 10,161
miles 1 had a blowout on my right
rear tire The other three tires are
still in good condition and to all ap-
pearances are good for several thous-
and miles yet"

DAILY SOUR MILK DIET
IS NOW FAD IN LONDON
Ideas of MetchnIkoff, the Great Rus

lowers in England

LONDON, Sept. 22.-"Metchnikoff
sour milk delivered daily" an adver-
tisement now appearing in the papers,
shows that a Partisan scientific fad
iss finding support in London.
Professor Metchnikoff, the great Rus
sian psychologist, is well known for
his preaching of the doctrine that If a
man dies before the age of $50 the fault
Is entirely his own. In France people
have tried for some time to follow the
professors elixir of life, a preparation
of sour milk of several days age,
which Bulgarian shepards call kou-
miss.
The theory is that the swarms Of
germs In this will, when swallowed, at
tack and devour the old age germs
which Metchnikoff believes are un-
welcome guests in the human interior.
The theoretical result of the diet is
thus perpetual youth.

being overtaken by their competitors.

Glass In Foot EIaht Years

NEW YORK, Sept. GA piece of
glass which had remained in his body
for more than eight years was re-
moved last Wednesday from the right
foot of Simon Coleman, a tailor, OF
504 High street, Newark, N. ]. The
fragment was three-eighths Of an inch
square.
In February, 1901, Coleman kicked
in a glass door to put out a fire in a
building. His foot was cut. Pieces OF
glass were removed in the German hos
pital, but soon after the wound healed
Coleman began to suffer pain in the
foot. Doctors treated him for various
ailments, but the pain continued,
though an X-ray examination failed to
reveal any foreign substance.
Coleman finally located the trouble
himself, and doctor took out the bit
of glass from a spot just back of the
ball of the foot.
