MAXWELL RUN is ENDED
AT LAST
Car Stopped to Give Other Pos.
Sible Contestants
Chance to Mark

After nearly doubling the figures thai
have, for three years, represented the
motor nonstop record, the Max we'll tour
ing car which has created complete sci
of long distance marks, has been stopped
at Los Angeles.
The Maxwel's motor nonstop record
is 22,022.3 miles. This replaces a former
record of II, 404 miles.
The end of the run was almost a civic
holiday in Los Angeles. Thousands
gathered at the appointed place, chok-
ing traffic and rendering the new endur-
ance champion and it's crew an ovation
new in the annals of motoring. Mayor
Sebastian of Los Angeles himself stepped
ignition. For the first time in nearly A
days, the Maxwell motor missed its life
giving spark and stopped.
Officially the run was declared ended.
Practically it will continue for many
more days as the car was Immediately re-
started and left for triumphal tour
through Southern California and Ari-
zona, where it will be shown to thous-
ands'of enthusiastic motorists who have
watched Its progress to it's champion
ship.
Motoring authorities nationally and on
the Pacific Coast, realizing that motor
nonstop competition is now about the
only form open to stock cars, are anxious
to encourage its revival in every way.
Their requests were joined to the fact
that he sales activities of the Lord or
ganiz 'ion demanded the attention of the
memoirs OF the cars crew.
The test was throughout under the
sanction and observation of the Contest
Board, represented by Earl Cooper, the
race driver, who was in charge of all de-
tails. The car was taken at random
from a recent shipment and declared
stock in every detail before the start.
Observers, appointed by Cooper, checked
every foot of the run.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful p"
"Why do women write such letters I"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
