HIGHER PRICE NO
CAUSE FOR WORRY
Noyes-Killy Company Feels No Ap'
prehension in Advance in Price
Of Saxon Cars.
HIGH QUALITY Is MAINTAINED

The following letter from the Saxon
factory to Noyes-FIilly Motor company,
indicates that the Saxon people will
maintain quality OF car, but the advance
in price Is causing no worry whatsoever
at the Omaha office:
This confirms our telegram announc-
ing the increase in the list price OF the
six-cylinder car, both touring and road
ster types. to tsl5.
For your information we have con-
sidered this increase I'm price advisable
because of greatly increased prices In
materials and higher cost of doing busl-
ness all along the line. owing to material
and freight car shortages
THE Saxon six" thoroughly worked
, out and refined as 1t stands today, is
easily worth $s15 in comparison with
other automobile values. Every dealer
realizes this fact. Every present owner
realizes it.
= Point out to prospective buyers that
this is the only car on the market at
anywhere near its price with the follow
ing features:
Six-cylinder motor, Saxon design.
manufactured by Continental Motor com
Reyfield carburetor, admitted the best
made.
AtWater Kent lgnltlon, ABOVE cIluclsm'
Full Timken bearing equipment
throughout chassis.
Honeycomb type Feeders radiator.
Two-unit starting and lighting system.
made by Wagner
Judging from our service department
records we feel safe in saying that the
Saxon six today is more thoroughly
free from anything in the nature Of
chronic mechanical troubles than any
popular priced automobile on the market.
1t will render a high quality of service
to the owner under all conditions over
very long period of time, and with
the minimum amount of trouble and ex-
pense In short. 1t is good from end to
end, and it Is goodness, rather than
merely price which stabilizes car in
the market and insures for It large
and steadily increasing volume OF sales"

Motorist Pulls
Out of Mud with
Storage Battery

While demonstrating a new car a sales
man for the Charles (s. c. Motor Sales
company. got into a pretty mess. He
might have been there yet IL the Willard
storage battery on the car hadn't come
TO his assistance.
County roads aren't always boulevards,
as this man soon discovered The car
performed beautifully until it was driven
into mud and water so deep that the
motor stalled. Water came in through
the carburetor air intake and starting
again was impossible.
Luckily for himself and his prospect
the demonstrator wasn't afraid to try
something. He ran the motor from the
Willard starting battery. slipped into low
gear and pulled the car entirely out of
the mudhole with the electric motive
power Afterwards he said that while
he wouldn't recommend car owners using
their batteries in this way. at the same
time he was mighty glad he had bat
terry as good as he did.

Conductor Mistakes
Salesman for U. s.

A certain salesman, representing a

taken by a railroad conductor for a

misapprehension being caused by pin
carrying the seal of his company which
the salesman was wearing.
The salesman In question was sitting
in the rear seat of a day coach. When

the lapel OF the salesman's coat, punched
his ticket and then asked him where he
expected to find his next victim.

4. 1. HOCKHOLZER
 SAYS HE FEELS AS
 STRONG AS A MULE
Was So Weak He Couldn't Life 10 Pounds-Can Now Go Down and Bring Up
 250 Pounds

Before I began taking Tanlac I was actually so weak and rundown I couldn t hardly lift 10 pounds. Now I can go down and bring up as much as 200 to 250 pounds and feel as strong a mule, " was the statement made Saturday by A. L. Hockholzer (pronounced ,Ho-hol-zer), an expert machnist in the Southern railway shops at Columbus, Miss. MT. Hockholzer is one of the best known railroad machinists in the south and worked at his trade for 10 years in Br- mingham, five years in Tuscaloosa, and four years in Rome, Ga.
 q had stomach trouble and rheuma- tism and suffered nearly all the time with pains in my back. For the longest kind of time I couldn't eat hardly any thing and was so nervous and restless l couldn't sleep at night. This trouble pulled me down until I fell off 15 pounds in weight. Finally I got so bad I had to lay off from my work for two weeks. Then I went back to work and had to lay off again. I tell you I was a sick man and doctors or nothing else seemed to do me any good except to patch me up for few days at time. That's just the fix I was in and everybody who knows me will tell you the same thing.
 About this time I began reading about Tanlac in the Birmingham papers and heard so much talk about it here I de- cided to try it. I am now on my fourth bottle and it is the honest truth when I tel you I feel just as good now as I did 20 years ago. I can now eat and sleep and work as good as anybody and my old-time strength and energy has come back once more. I have not only gained my strength back, but I have gained every pound I lost and am 15 pounds heavier than I was.
 T think everybody in this whole coun- try ought to know about Tanlac, for it is the grandest medicine in the world. Just tell anybody to come to see me personally and I will be glad to tell them all about my case.'
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu sively by Patton-Pope Drug Co., and Eu- gene Jacobs Drug Store, in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,, and in Bessemer by Pegram-P Patton Drug Co,-Adv.

STORY OF RESCUE l BY GERMANY OF | AMERICAS GOLD Deutsche Bank Voluntarily Offered $2OO,OOO,OOO in
 Gold in 1896 EVEN CLEVELAND
 WAS NOT INFORMED J. Pierpont Morgan Handled the Mat ter and Arranged to furnish
 Gold Backed Up by the German Offer
By HOLLAND

New York, June 12.-(Special.)-In view | of the character of the report for the year 1915 which was issued in April by the Deutsche bank of Berlin, it has been
 thought opportune to make public an in-
 ternational financial transaction in which the Deutsche bank was one of the par ties and the federal government at Wash ington the other. The report of the oper- ations and conditions of the Deutsche bank for the year 1915-a translation of which has within day or two been put into the hands of American financiers-is spoken of as an extraordinary revelation of strength, wise management and condi- tions which are far different from those reported in some of the public dispatches.
 In January, 1896, the administration of President Cleveland was in grievous em- barrassment. Gold had been flowing steadily out of the treasury. A great deal of it was exported and much was hoarded. There were no gold imports The relations between the United States and Great Britain were not very cordial due to the attitude taken by President Cleveland upon the Venezuelan boundary question. Other political considerations made it inexpedient to appeal to England for any assistance.
 The available gold supply in the treas ury had fallen to $1,00O,000. The danger was imminent that payments would have to be made in silver or in currency James Stillman, president of the National City bank, had with intent to relieve inn mediate necessities deposited $1,00O,OO0 in gold coin and s1,000,0OO in gold bars in the subtreasury in New York. Secretary Carlisle had upon two earlier occasions secured $50,000,0oO in gold from the New York bankers, but this vanished almost as soon as it was put in the treasury.
 Then of sudden came proposition, even to this day known only to three or four men, which is unparalleled before or since in the history of interna tional financing. MT E. D. Adams, who had been for some years the representative of the Deutsche bank in the United States, received in his mail one morning in January, 1S96 communication from that bank. The communication itself was brief, but the various symbols which were attached to it in the form of stamps, seals and other objects representing high authority indicated the importance of it. MT. Adams was informed that certified copy of the document had been placed with the American ambassador to Ger ma
