GOODYEAR TIRES At

announce NO war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. r. A. SIeberiing. president
Of the Company. thus explains their
unique position
We advanced Goodyear prices. as
others did theirs. when the rubber
panic came. Almost in q day crude
rubber rose In New York from So cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. By acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained I.500.-
900 pounds OF the finest rubber.
That big supply OF rubber Is o
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. II constitutes the
best OF the London supply.
We are using the same grade Of
rubber and the same amoun Of il as
we always have used in these tires.
We are running our factory with
three shifts of men. twenty-four hours
a day So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber. We shall

sPUos CURE FOR
European Experiments May be Said
to Have oispeIied Lsaend Of
Their indiasstib,iIty.

Rheumatism In one form or another
sfiicts the major part OF the popula-
ton. and rheumatism. as most persons
know. is due TO an accumulation of
uric acid In the system. The Danish
food reformer. Or. n. Hindhede. whose
experiments have made a considerable
stir In his own country and in Ger.
many. has found In the potato the
most useful solvent. apart from drugs.
Of this acid.
Experiments az the Hindhede Re
search laboratory have shown that a
diet Of potatoes exclusively is capable
Of dissolving more than six times the
quantity of uric acid resulting from
the diet itself.
Two things must be borne In mind
In connection with a diet OF potatoes.
One Is that. whether mashed or not,
they require a great deal Of masti.
cation. The legend Of their indiges.
tibility is doubtless due to their being
usually -boIted' with little or no ad.
MIXTURE OF saliva The other point is
that butter should always be eaten
with them. in order to supply the pro
portion Of fat required In our daily
food.
