record was again perched on the Cad
lilac banner.
To do this distance of 4S9 miles in
9 hours, 81 minues, the car averaged
speed of 50.S2 miles per hour-road
time which is phenomenal in view of
the fact that most of the drive was in
the darkness of night; three mountain
ranges were crossed; numerous sharp
and dangerous turns made - l27 of
them in one 14-mile stretch; and tho
last 1870 miles made in a pouring rain.

A man came in to my place the other day and
said:
'What! 34OO r.p.m m. Chalmers at $1,000
never knew Chalmers built car under s., OOO"
So many ask the same question. We never
feature price in big type We don't sell price.
We sell car first then tell how much it costs
afterwards
suppose we lose some sales that way But,
OF course, we have a car of such decided quality,
OF such extraordinary ability, of such terrific
power from engine that you wonder where it
all comes trom-well, we just don't know how to
talk price when SO many other things bob UP in
our minds.
Now take power Here it is rated at 25.3
II. p. when you buy your license You get her
out in mud or sand, or on hilI-and bing, you
can Just double that figure
You have got just about 100 per cent more
power than we give her credit for
OF course, lots of cars have great big power
But with most of them you got to pay the
piper every time you use it. Those big power
cars have great big engines mostly, and great big
engines have terrific appetite for gas. You
know, don t need to tell you.
This 340O +. p. m. Chalmers has an engine in
her that's got the kick
You step on the acceerator button, and zip!
You never saw such spunk
And not only power but she gets away like
scared horse. | have to watch my foot when it
is on the little button First thing know am

used to sell lot of cars in days gone by in
simply stating the price.
Now it is all different
People are buying cars more intelligentlv.
They want what they call ability. There are too
many cars that look alike and have the sarre
price tag on them. The only thing that separates
them is ability. There's all the difference in the
wide world between cars when you look at them
this way.
One car is sluggish like ploughing horse.
Another has got light foot and gets under way
without taking quarter mile to get into high.
Why with this 34OOr p. m. Chalmers forget
once in a while and actually start her on high.

The Rev. w. H. Book, pastor of
the Tabernacle Christian church of
Columbus, is telling a story told him
by a schoolteacher in county not
far from Bartholomew. The teach
er and the township trustee were
talking over plans for the annual
school commencement. The CUES
ton of a speaker for commencement
arose.
Lets get this here Rip Van Win
kle to make the speech" suggested
the township trustee.
"Who?" asked the surprised
teacher.
"Why, this here Rip Van Wrinkle"
the trustee replied. Give heard a
good deal about him and I thought
maybe he might make right smart
speech
The teacher had to tell the trustee
that Rip was not available for COM
mencement addresses this year.

FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF
Why 1t Is Supposed to Indicate Diges-
tive Disturbance Never Has Been
Explained.

Just why a furred tongue is sup
posed to be an indication of dis
turbance of the digestive apparatus
has never been explained. The Medi-
cal Record calls to mind ''the respected
(and feared) spinster in our commu-
nifty good many years ago who had
her own opinion about doctors. Urged
to consult one of their fraternity
when little indisposed, she would re-
pei the suggestion with scorD. All
they do she would say, is to say,
Lets see your tongue. How's your
bowels? Two dollars, please. ~"
The editor says he has known physi-
clans of the old school who could d.
agnose a case by looking at the
tongue, just as he has known physi-
clan who could diagnose" a case
of pneumonia in child he had never
seen before when he got ten feet away
fromthe bed And what is more, he
could tell which side it was on and
even designate the lobe affected in
some cases."
Of course this is sarcasm. The ed
itor is ridiculing the furred tongue as
q symptom of trouble in the digestive
apparatus.
