CAR CRANK|NG MADE
HEAVY POLICY LOSS
Accident Insurance Company
Hard Hit by Introduction Of
SeIf-Starters.

1t is an interesting fact that Is per
cent of the losses paid out by small
Middle West insurance company last
year were for accidents due to crank
ing automobiles. This, it was said.
was the largest single item on the
list for the year.
This is significant when 1t Is con-
sidered that so many cars now are
fitted with some SORT OF sef,staruns.
or perhaps more correctly, sen-crank-
ing device.
When a couple Of seasons ago cars
began to be equipped with self starters
therew as a great outcry from some
makers, who hailed the movement as
and energy trying to point out that
starters weren't really needed and hurt
the efficiency of the motor than they
have since had to devote to eQuipping
their cars with starters.
1t hasn't been just a case OF putting
on something to please the popular
fancy and make cars more Salaole
There is no question in the minds OF
devices properly belong on automobiles
and that they should be figured into
the problems of design from the be-
ginning. So almost every car now,
unless 1t is a very small one and has
a tractable motor, has a self-cranktng
device.
A number of concerns which have
been slow to be converted have at last
found a starter. It does seem as II
there were men enough in the automo-
bile business. actual makers Of cars,
who are suffering from ruptnres due to
nothing else than cranking heavy mo-
tors TO have made 1t far easier to in
troduce the self starter.
The early self starter types were
crude Some Of them have passed out
entirely. Only a few survive The sort
that used acetylene gss had q run at
first because they were lighter and SIM
pier than electric types. Now the cleo
trio starter has the upper hand and Is
practically universal. The spring start
ers have their supporters. but as regu-
lar equipment at the factories they arc
few and rare.
OF late the makers of pneumatic
starters have received attention. They
claim for their goods peculiar features
among them lighter weight and no I'm
favorable effect on the running Of the
motor.
This effect on the motor performance
was one thing much urged against the
electric starter, but the makers appear
to have overcome it Some of the
cars put out at first with electric start
ing did suffer a deal On the side of efn-
cheney, but now that a couple Of sea-
sons have passed and unremitting work
has been put on the task OF improve
ment by experimental laboratories this
all has been taken care OF. The start
ers actually belong with the cars ana
are not afterthoughts. However, there
are some starters that can be added
10 cars after a couple of seasons old
and are thought out so cleverly that
they are not mere excrescences, but
compact and excellent performers
One result of having starters on So
many cars has been to make more
women drive automobiles

Promptly disappear
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferer,
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are
Taken

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak in.
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat.
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
RIB on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove. the cause. The new dis
eovery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys
SO they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out Of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chrou-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it Is
practically impossible TO take it into
the human system without results
You will find relief from the FIRST few
doses, and you will be surprised Low
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a tritle at any frst-ciass
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that IS
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.

FRECKLES

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re-
move Them With the Othine Pre-
scription.
This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by prominent
physician and is usually SO successful in
removing freckles and giving clear,
beautiful complexion that it is sold by
druggists under guarantee to refund the
money il it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a veil;
get an ounce of othine and remove them.
Even the first few applications should
show wonderful improvement, some OF
the lighter freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that is
sold on the money back guarantee.
