Nuxated Iron Makes Strong, Vigorous, Iron Men and Beautiful,
 Healthy, Rosy-Cheeked Women
Former Hospital Physician and Medical Examiner says that in three weeks it Virtually Revitalized His Whole System.

In a recent discourse on the supject of iron deficiency in the blood of Amer ican men and women, pr. H. E. Vail, formerly Physician in the Baltimore Hospital, said: Throughout my eN- nerience on Hospital Staffs and as Med- tcal Examiner, I have been astonsshed at the number of patients who have yainIy doctored for various diseases when in reality their delicate, run. down state was simply the result of lack of iron in the blood. Time and again l have prescribed organic iron Nuxated Iron--and surprised patients at the rapidity with which the weak, ness and general debility were replaced by a <renewed feeling of strength and vitality. I took Nuxated Iron myself to build mesup after a serious case of nervous exhaustion. The effects were apparent after few days and within three weeks 1t had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in Su- perb physical condition. It is not sur prising that millions of people annually are now taking Nuxated Iron and phy- sieians everywhere are prescribing it.

| mean that you must restrict your car
 mileage On the other hand. you can
 actually increase your tire mileage, and
 at the same decrease your tire costs. It is waste and misuse rather than contin-
 uous use that breaks down tire. Our
 people have been compelled to practice
 economy in the use of food, coal, cloth
 ing and other things that are catalogued as actual necessities, and to these must
 he added conservation of tires. At this
 time when our crude rubber must be

 Bill was working some tires that had seen better days. There were all kinds and all kinds of diseases among them. Some were just plainly rotten, but the majority were abused, and showed convincing evidence of rim It. rust, glass cuts, broken sioe wall. sand blisters, improper wheel alignment, and many other diseases common among the rubber loops. All of this must have caused Real Driver to become more heated in his solo argument about the evil that poor or thoughtless driver can commit.
 Every driver should know at least a little about rubber, it's nature, compost tion as used in tires, and the proper treatment after being made into the commercial product" he began.
 UNDER INITIATION.
 There can. be no doubt that under-in- fiction causes the majority of the tire trouble experienced. True, they ride q little easier not quite so tight, but Mir. Man, you are paying for it right down from the bottom of your pocketbook.

 Every tire is supposed to carry so much hair in it. Every time you put less you >are committing a crime against the tire and are giving the maker of it an unfair deal. They are made to contain so much air under given conditions. Any repre- sentative of the company will give any minute information a driver wants about them, for it is to their mutual advan- tage. A satisfied owner in turn becomes a cheerful booster. Owners should take advantage of the free service that is being given now and post themselves on this subject. It's worth it.
 "RIM-CUT.
 "Then we have the rim-cut to contend with. This. is born of underinflation.

A miniature service flag bearing 4ls stars is being displayed in the window of the local branch of the Fisk Rubber company. It is an exact copy of the large flag now flying from the admin istration building at the general offices of the company in Chicopee Falls, Mass.
 The Fisk company has sent many of It's employees into the service of Uncle Sam already, and more are leaving all most daily. SO the number of stars on the flag will be increased from time to time.

Country ys. City Again

The legend that country boys are more healthy than those dwelling in the cities has been dealt a staggering blow as a result of the physical examina- ton of drafted men. The figures as compiled by the United States public health service show that the rejections on physical grounds were from to 20 per cent greater in the country districts than in the cities. The blanc is laid on the little red schoolhouse which is so often unsanitary and where the health of the children is not safeguarded by trained officials. The work of the city health officers and sanitary de- partments also counts largely.

ROADSTER INTRODUCED

This year will see the instroduction of the new two-passenger roadster which was brought out in response to the re- quest of Liberty dealers throughout the country. The demand for this model has already been so great as to cause an increase in the production schedule.
 'It is, in common with other models, mounted on the standard Liberty chas- sis. The body lines are trim and mod sh, of distinctive Liberty design and in this particular car give an exceptions ally smart effect The rear deck slopes down to a tapered, rounded point, which accentuates the beauty and symmetry of the design"

UTILIZE FREE SERVICE

Our observation so far has been that when motorists avail themselves of our service station inspection service they are amply repaid in the extra mileage their tires deliver. It is surprising how many extra miles tire will deliver as the result of the observance of a few simple rules. And these rules are so easy to put into practice that 1t Is a wonder motorists do not flock into the service stations to learn them, instead of requiring so much effort on the part of the manufacturer of the tires and the dealer who passes them over the coun- ter to the motorist.
 Fully 60 per cent. of all the tires used go out of service prematurely because of insufficient imitation. 30 per cent. more go out of commission be- cause of neglected tread cuts; the re- maining 10 per cent. go to an early grave because of wheels out of align ment brakes working unevenly and various other minor causes.

One of the occidental countries in which the use of motorcycles has become pop. ular is Java, an island about as large as all of Great Britain. with a population of 42,0o0.0O0. It is generally hilly. but there are good reads over the entire island. These roads were started about 100 years ago at the instigation of Napo- leon. when he gained control of Holland and her colonies, of which Java is one. A favorite motorcycle tour in Java is the one between Batavia and Soersbaya, distance of about 345 miles, over one of these improved roads. Recently a new speed record for this trip was set up by two motorcyclists. named Van Cooten and Van Asten. riding Good-year- tired machine Thirty-seven minutes were clipped from the former record by this team.

DETROIT PREFERS !. THE STUDEbAkER SAYS MAXWELL
Registration Shows More Cars of This Make Than of Any Other Selling for
 Over $500, Is Claim

Since the advent of the automobile into the daily life and activity of the na- ton Detroit has forged ahead almost un- believably in her manufacturing pursuits urtil now she ranks as the largest auto mobile producing center in the world. And. as a whole, knowledge of automo- piles is far more general and exact in Detroit than in any other city on earth, said Robert b. Maxwell, local dstribu- tor of the Studebaker
 .Detroits population has increased by leaps and bounds since the coming of the great motor car plants. big percent age of the residents are either directly engaged in the motor car industry now or come into daily contact with people who are. Everyone talks cars in Detroit they study them from every angle and hear all the gossip from the great fac tories established in the city. Their knowledge of the plants and the efficien- ley of the manufacturing organizations is thorough-and they know the men back of the cars, too
 LEADS THREE YEARS
 50 when it is known that during 1915, 1915 and again in 1917 more Stakeholder cars were registered and operated in the city of Detroit than any other make of car selling over $00. there can be little doubt as to which car is Detroit's prefer ence. And it is perfectly obvious that people who know cars-know how they are made and what they are made of also know value in cars.
 "As one would expect, in a city known far and Wide as the home of automo- biles,' there are thousands of cars in daily use. Traffic and parking problems have taxed the resourcefulness of city of ficials-and the problems grow each year as the number of new cars are added to the tota. in operation. Under these con- ditions it is surprising to note that any one particular make of car could predom- mate as does the Studebaker.
 "Studebaker's three-year leadership in the city where three -fourths of all the automobiles in use are produced is signif- icant, and to the prospective purchaser of an automobile anywhere 1t carries con victicn that greatly simplifies the prob lem of selecting the right car"

IMPERFECT ALIGNMENT

Another trouble that I notice great deal among the tires that you have on hand here is uneven wearing. This is cat sed by an imperfect alignment of the wheels. Nearly all the garages of the country have gauge for testing this point in minute or two and remedy ing the trouble in almost the same length of time-so don't blame it on anyone other than yourself if you find that this is what is the matter with your cas- ings. sa
 Driving in car tracks seems to have put nice little ridge in many more of them, too. True, at times, it is very tempting to follow the rails. but like the rets of the crimes against tires--you pay.
 "A STITCH IN TIME"
 "As soon as cut appears in tire it should be immediately cleaned and treated with the pure rubber prepara- tions which are made by the tire peo- pie for that purpose. It is impossible to drive and keep from getting the cuts and slashes in the tires. but it is not impossible to remedy them and make the tire almost new. Sand blisters are the same way. It is a good idea to take a sharp knife and open them at the bottom. All the sand and grit can then be removed and substantial repair made before the whole outer covering become sloose.
 T can't see that there is any par ticular benefit in jacking up the wheels when you are driving the car in the garage for a week or two, but whether you have a concrete floor, solid or whatever kind. you should place two 1 loose boards on the floor to drive the car in on. Of course. if your car is put away for the winter they should be lacked up--but few cars are put up for winter now. s. These pneumatic tires are wonders for endurance anyhow. They are sub- jected to more strain and more demands than steel car wheels--and yet they will live up to almost any expectations if you give them a half chance. Excess sively fast driving. fast stars and short stops. short turns, and thou o.htlessness are responsible for the majority of the tire trouble that we have anyhow It Is time tire conservation should begin to be practical among the auto owners of this country"
