Tires are not made so carefully merely to give them

them so slowly and painstakingiy by hand. And
judged by the acid test of road mileage, Kelly

are built up to standard-not down to price-list.

Avoid Coughs
and Colds
Grip and Pneumonia Usually Follow if
Neglected

colds lies not in their own direct eff
fects, but in the fact that they weaken

trance of the organisms of other dis
eases 1t is therefore advisable to take
the proper precautions with cold at
the start when it can be conquered with
comparatively little trouble. The ounce
of prevention is worth many pounds of
cure in the case of colds and the best
prevention is to keep the body in good
physical condition.

$500 pounds ($14,OOO) was obtained
and that the prisoner, when arrested
was in fair way to obtain 700 pounds
