the tonneau, fastened one end OF II TO
the front axle of the tractor, tho other
to the rear axle of his. automobile, then
climbed behind the wheel
Shouting TO the engineer TO nut the
big tractor in gear. NIr. , Chrlstner
started his car. 1t moved 'ttorward
slightly. then preceptibly and pulled the
great engine ten feet To prove that 1t
was not an accident. he repeated the per-
Torrance five or six times.
The tractor. as eqrhppod weighed about
1900 pounds, besides the water 1t car
RED.
Just so his word could not be doubted
whenever he chose TO tell about the
power of his car, Mr.. Chrlstner had a
picture taken and secured the sworn
affdavlts OF seventeen spectators.

Saxon Lowest. Price
Light Delivery Car
On American Market


The Saxon Motor company has entered
the light delivery field with the lowest
priced delivery car of standard design
ever produced. OF 100 pounds carrying
capacity Gin addition TO the drivers
weight the Saxon delivery car is priced
at 1896.
This new delivery car has such fea-
lures, of standard design as powerful
four-cylinder motor, sliding gear trans
mission, dry plate clutch, shaft drive and
standard tread. The top of the body is
fitted with storm curtains which may
be lowered so as to protect the load In
Indictment weather. The loading platform
is low, making 1t convenient for the
driver to handle goods.
Further conveniences are provided by
placing the ignition switch and carbur-
etor adjustment on -leether-covered in
strument board in the dash, and by maxi
ing the spark control automatic.
According to Lawrence Moore, director
of sales, much attention has been given
by the Saxon engineers to securing sim
plicity of control and operation. so that
inexperienced drivers may have no diff
Guilty in operating this vehicle.
THE new Saxon delivery car is de-
signed for the thousands who need motor
delivery in their business. yet who have
always thought of motor delivery cars
as being expensive" says Mr.. Moore.
after a long period OF experimenting We
have produced delivery car which costs
no more than a good horse and wagon
and at the same time has every advan-
tage over horse delivery in point of dis
tance covered. new business possible to
handle, mile for mile economy. and de-
probability, O.. -sr.

FORD CAR MAKES LONG TRIP
Arrives in Omaha After Trip from

PIoUGHs THROUGH DEEP MUD

in It's Difficult over
land Tour.

w. 5. Brown OF Dexter, N. NJ, arrived
IN Omaha recently after driving a model
fve-passenger Ford /, $50 miles over
roads which would be almost impassa-
BILE for mule team, let alone a motor
car.
In speaking Of the trip Mr.. Brown says
that IL anyone had told him beforehand
That any car would stand the strain to
which his Ford was subjected on this
trip he would not have believed it, and
II he had known the conditions to be en-
countered he certainly would never have
started The roads were very bad prac-
tically the entire 1.15O miles from Dexter
TO Omaha, and for day after day they
plowed through mud hub deep. In one
place the road was hardly more than a
COW path, and they covered fifty-four
miles without seeing a sign of a human
habitation.
Encounter CIoudburut.
In another section, which had been Wis
tied the night before by a cloudburst,
they were compelled TO go through mile
after mile of knee-deep gumbo. At this
point, another car which had been travt
cling with them. was forced to give up
and the roads were so bad that they
were only able to cover this day about
fifty miles and most of tfis with the car
running in low gear. Four rivers were
forded en- route, including the Arkansas,
Cimarron and two smaller ones.
Twenty Miles to Gallon.
Mr.. Brown says that their motor was
not touched during the whole trip and
that they averaged about twenty miles to
a gallon of gasoline. He was accompa-
MED on the trip by his wife ana son. and
in addition to the passengers the car car
rled about $50 pounds of baggage.
The car used on this trip had already
been run 5000 miles. but an examination
made at the local Ford branch upon it's
arrival here showed it to be in excellent
shape, and with a few minor adjust
ments ready for another trip of the same
kind.

Two-Door Kissel Kar
Proving Popular

The Kissel Motor Car company, says
that it has yet to hear from an owner
who is not thoroughly satisfied with the
new two-door body. They are especially
enthusiastic over the smooth and grace
full appearance Of the car. due to the un-
broken surface from bonnet to mid
ships" 1t is conceded generally that this
construction affords better lines than is
possible with four doors. The Kissels
say that the two-door type is. selling
equally with their four-door models.

INSANE.
PATIENTS
INCREASE.
STATISTICS FROM u. {. RF.
PORTS SHOW ENORMOUS
GROWTH IN YEAR

Washington, ID. G., Dec. lS.-De-
clarlng that while there has been an
enormous increase in the number OF
insane under institutional care in the
United p5tates, the census bureau, in a
report today, states this in itself IS
not conclusive proof of an increase of
insanity in the general population.
The number Of insane reported in
institutions increased from 150,l5l in
1904 to 1871 in 1910, an increase
Of 25 per ent in six years The total
population in the same period in
creased, only II per cent
In 1904 one person out Of every 545
was confinedfn an institution for the
insane: in 1910 one out OF every 400.
These increases, the report says,
are at least partly attributable to the
extension Of the provisions made FOR
the care of the insane and to the
growth of the practice of placing
them in institutions
The popular impression that lone
liness Of country life is an import
ant cause Of insanity is MOI borne out
by the statistics, which indicate that
more insanity is due to the stress and
strain, the keener competition, the
conditions and the vice ana
Of city life.
In proportion to population the
number of inmates of hospitals for
he insane received from urban com |
is twice as great as the
lumber received from rural districts.

REQ CROSS CHRIS STNiS
SEALS SCARCE N GUTHRIE ?

"The sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals in Guthrie is the smallest so
far of any city, small or large, in the
state" So says the report of j. q.
Mahr state health officer. The
question naturally arises: What Is
the matter with the Guthrie people?
1t is not the usual spirit Of the
Guthrian. Maybe the citizens of this
city are not aware that the seals can
be bought here OF course the con
Germs that have them for sale do not
advertise, that may be the reason.
The sale OF Red Cross Christmas
seals in Oklahoma has been organized
BY DR.. ]. G. Mahr to an extent that
every county is supplied and in most
OF the counties every town has an
agency. In Oklahoma county the
teachers OF the publis schools have
charge OF the distribution Of the seals
and they secure a portion of the funds
for an tuberculosis society that
has been formed among the teachers
and pupils of the schools In all sec
tions of the state the work of ac-
cumulating q fund for fighting tuber-
cbulosis through sale OF Red Cross
seals is being aided by the school

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifes the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hood s,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.
