Albert Guyot, who will drive the Eng
lsh Sunbeam, is one of the old school
of French drivers. In 1908 he won the
light-car class Of the French Grand Prix,
and the following year finished fourth
in the three-liter race at Boulogne. He
has won hundreds of medals and trophies,
and is noted for his cool-headed scientific
driving, as we'll as for his daring. He
is distinguished among French racing
drivers, for he is also an aeroplane pilot
holding the license of the Aero Club of
France. But not content with these
honors he has also figured prominently
in the motorboat races a Monaco. Guyot
is now in England testing his Sunbeam
car at the Brooklands track.
Competing against this trio of foreign
drivers will be three American pilots
who expect to put up game fight for
victory in the big race. They are Gill

To simplify the work of timing this
year it has been suggested that. all teams
and individual entries be distinguished
by some striking color, such as red. yell

past lit has often been impossible to
distinguish fast-fying cars from one an

resulted at times.
This year the color scheme which will
be evolved is expected to obviate all the
former trouble. In importance this

Clearing the View.

"The English have shown a commend
able spirit of progressiveness in clearing
the turns and curves of their roads of
objects that prevent a clear view" he
says British motoring publications re-
Gently have called attention to the good
being done along this line. In two

By cutting down hedges and underground
which have prevented view of the curve.
Where heretofore tall hedges growing
inside the curve have made it Impossible
to tell what may be approaching from
the opposite direction, an unobstructed
vision has been obtained merely by elm
mating the obstruction. In one case the
hedge was cur down and white painted

With these precautions motorists APP
preaching the curve from both directions
are enabled to tell al d glance whether
the road is clear beyond.
In our own country there are numerless
opportunities for this excellent work
Many of our country roads are crossed
at various angles by railroads and more
often than not it is impossible to tell
whether train or car is approaching
because of the growth of brush other
INSTRUCTIONS. In the cities. too, there are
scores of dangerous places, where bill
boards and other unsightly objects are
erected close to the crossing or curve. I
am confident that in the near future our
great automobile clubs will see the need
for these preventive measures And
when the work is taken up the number
of automobile accidents will greatly de-
crease.

uric acid which almost paralyzes the

The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-

irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharma-
cy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon

been used for generations to flush and
