Red Grown Shows Remarkable Test
Judged by c. A. c. Committee.

Judged by c. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results were obtained
Tue day in Chicago, when. in q dis
lance test on the boulevards. 1915
big six went 1877 miles on a gallon Of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
Of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee of the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline. So test, was de-
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped, except when traffic congestion
made It necessary. The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
nected, and in order that the test be
q fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run
Next came the acceleration test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the ecc nomy run, the
car was driven from standing start to
thirty miles an hour in IL As seconds.
The flexibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline Is used.

he awoke. He asked me for some
money-said something about debt

The keeper of the Egyptian depart

from his work he noticed that his
assistant, who was similarly engaged,
was standing still, looking at some
thing he held in his hand with an
expression of dismay.

asked. Have you struck something
you don't understand"
Indeed l have, sir" answered that
freckled youth.
Let me have a look at it," said
the man of knowledge. Johnson
handed him over papyrus few

The doctor who has tried Postum
knows that it is an easy, certain. and
pleasant way out of the coffee habit
and all of the ails following and he
prescribes it for his patients as did

tered terribly with heavy feeling at
the pit of my stomach and dizzy feel
tngs in my head and then blindness
would come over my eyes so would
have to sit down. / would get so nerv-
GUS could hardly control my feelings.
Finally I spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked if l drank
much coffee and mother told him that
[ did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum in
its place, as he and his family had
Ised Postum and found it powerful
cebuilder and delicious food-drink.
Il hesitated for time, disliking the
dea of having to give up my coffee. but
dnally got a package and found it to
be all the doctor said.
Since drinking Postum In place OF
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels
are regular and l am well and strong.
That is short statement of what
Postum has done for me-"
