MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft
err day, have found better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post
UNI instead Of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
IT had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous
and extremely respondent: had little
mental or physical strength left. had
kidney trouble and constipation.
'.The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action Of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
.tThen I became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
81 am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum ] am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before.
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Greek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new coneen-
trated form called Instant Postum. It
is regular Postum, SO processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained.
A spoonful of Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce instantly q delicious
beverage.

Object Lessons.

Those who become discouraged by
mistakes are not very progressive.
Instead of being stumbling blocks
mistakes are object lessons that
arouse one to closer sense of OBJ
servation and point out facts. How

mistake twice is not very obserV-

The car is such a little dandy, said
Mr.. Mcfarland. There was not one bit
of difficulty during the entire trip. The
engine is in excellent<condition and
was really surprised when l made a
careful examination on its arrival IN
Oakland, to find it in perfect condition.
1t certainly showed its worth during
the long Journey

and advertising manager for the APP
person Automobile company. was one
of the prominent members who jour-
reyed over the mountains and deserts
in one of the two Apperson entries.
Edenburn also acted a assistant chair
man of the tour and assisted w. Nc
Kay White in his difficult job of boss" :"
Both the Apperson "jackrabbits"
made an excellent record on the trip.
They consumed very little gasoline and
experienced little tire trouble. The
cars appear fresh despite the $500
mile trip. Mr.. Edenburn says they are
better now than when they left the
factory.
One of the best achievements of the
tour was the showing made by the two
American underslung cars. These ma
chimes displayed their merit when they
climbed over the difficult mountain
roads and the sandy deserts with ease.
Both cars are on display at the Ameri-
can Motors California company, 4I6
Golden Gate avenue.
Many persons have figured that an
underslung machine was worthless on
hogback roads or in sandy stretches
because OF their low body. This theory
has now been disproved and the value
of an underslung for safety from over
turning has been firmly established.
United States tires were thoroughly
tested on the trip over the Midland
trail A number Of the machines used
this make. and from the statements
made by the different drivers they
proved their worth.

PATHFINDER MAKES
/ SPLENDID RECORD

The Pathfinder car driven by Robert
SpeigIe was one of the most interest
ing machines in the tour. This car left
Indiana polls with it's hood locked for
the purpose of demonstrating that it
was not necessary to tamper with the
engine during the trip. At each i'm
portant stop experts were engaged to
examine the machine and make am
davits of their findings. The machine
is on display at the local Pathfinder
agency in Geary street near Van Ness
avenue.
There were two Marion cars in the
group and each gave a good account OF
itself in the long grind W. Mckay

passenger in one of these machines and
Yesterday took occasion to highly COM

THE Marion car in which | rode ran
like Pullman coach over steel rails,
was the way Mr.. White put 1t. AT no
time during the trip, whether IT was IN
the mountains or on the desert, was
there mishap. Even over the roush
roads in Nevada and Utah the car ran
so smooth that we experienced little
jouncing."

played their quality in the Indiana

Goodyear agent. Many OF the ma
chimes used our make, but the notice
