The Rudd Taxicab company of Brook
lyn. N. Y, has installed a fleet Of Frank
lin taxicabs and one Omnibus to care for
the thriving business OF that livery" said
Guy Smith. 0maha agent for the Franklin.
The installation Of these cars attracted
considerable attention, when it was known
that they have alr-colled motors and re-
placed squad Of water-cooled cabs The
water-cooled cars did not give satisfaction,
and after troublesome experience and
fruitless efforts to keep down the upkeep
cost, Mr. Rudd decided to adopt the
Franklin.
An average kept for Franklin taxicabs
shows tire cost OF 2 cents per mile, which
Is considered remarkable when tire upkeep
costs for various types OF cabs are con
sidered. The Franklins are equipped with
tires Sox4 inches front and rear.

II you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and

antee that it shall not cost the user
