TO GROW LONG
STRAIGHT HAIR
YOU NEED a REAL SCALP FOOD.

There are so many so-called hair
growers On the market, large num-
Der Of which are nothing more than
perfumed grease, 1t Is no wonder peo-
pie get discouraged and lose faith in
all hair tonics. In deciding what to
use On your scalp be sure and get a
remedy Of proven merit. Seeby's
Quinade is highly indicated pom
ade that has stood the test OF time.
1t is a real scalp food; it stimulates
and nourishes the roots Of the hair,
causing a natural growth Of long
hair.
Quinade Is the invention Of an ex-
pert chemist and is made under the
supervision Of an experienced regis
tered pharmacist. 1t makes the hair
soft and smooth and easy to put up
in the style desired.
TO get best results from the use Of
Quinade it is necessary to shampoo
the scalp about every two weeks with
Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is
made entirely out OF pure vegetable
oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is
thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lath-
ers very freely. 1t leaves the hair
soft and fluffy and imparts q re-
fresh!ng feeling to the scalp unequal
led by any other shampoo.
DO not accept any substitute, but
insist on getting Seeby's Quinade
and Sceby's Quinasoap, asking for
them by the full name. Price is 25
cents each. If your druggist or deal
! or does not stock these two articles
ask him to obtain them for you from
his wholesaler or send us the price
and We will mail them to you. Seeby

CADILLAC TO TAKE PART IN LINCOLN
 HIGHWAY JOURNEY

When America's great trans conti- mental transport train gets under way over the Lincoln highway. two Cadillac touring cars will be included in its vanguard.
 Never before has such an assembly of motor cars and trucks attempted to cross the continent. Bearing the ln- dian names. Navajo" and Apache" the Cadillac cars call to mind those dark skinned Americans who blazed our first trails and highways.
 The tour is expected to serve as an extended service or performance test of the several standardized types of motorized army equipment and will start about July from Washington, with San Francisco as a destination.
 The great strides Tn motor manufac- turing and transportation during the past few years were well demonstrated by the performance of the American automobile in France. The Cadillac cars which will participate in this epoch making journey are of the same

WATER HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON TIRES
 SAYS RUBBER CO.

Now and then fin the course of an automobile trip a car has to pass through a stream, and the question is sometimes discussed whether the nc- lion of the water is harmful to the tires The same question arises when | car is out in heavy rain.
 The United States Tire company an- swers the question by stating that the sffect of such a wetting is practically nothing at all, either for damage or improvement. At any rate the effect on the tire is not harmful. The two chief constituents of a tire are rub Der and cotton both vegetable sub stances, and as a rule water does not lnjure vegetable matter. As illustra- ton of this point, there is the old but true story of the farmer who. when one of his rubber boots fell into a well placed the other on a shelf in a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned the lost boot was found to be in excellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen into ruin.
 If running through a brook resulted i7 cooling a tire, the effect would be decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash through the water has little effect on the heated air within the tire and con sequently the temperature change in the tire after it's bath is negligible.
 Water itself apparently does nc harm to tires, but the combination oi air and moisture commonly known as humidity is very destructive. especlal- ly on the cotton in ordinary fabric tires. The moist air works in between the layers of fabric and rots them out sometimes even before the tires leave the dealers store room. Cord tirs stand humidity better, and it is to this fact that the United States Tire company attributes the great popularity of its royal cord in the hot, moist countrie. in the tropics.
 The harmful effect of moist air il the chief reason why when tires ar, stored, they should be kept in a dr! atmosphere. As sunlight is alst harmful, the storage place should b, 70 darkened.
