MOTOR DEALER
DECLARES WAR

William Nichols. proprietor Of n
Twentieth Century garage and Buick
dealer in South Bend, this week de-
cIared war on Michigan City, Ind.
Mr.. Nichols made complaint
against the town to the South Bend
Auto Dealers association and also to
the Chicago Motor club as a result
Of his arrest in Michigan City on
Tuesday for driving his car through
the city without a license tag on it.
Mr.. Nichols is an automobile dealer,
and as a dealer he feels hat in driv-
ing new cars through a city, he
should not be molested if he has
failed TO secure licenses for his ears.
In his complaint. he states that
the authorities in all Of the cities in
this section have understood that
dealers were 10 be immune from
prosecution under the license num-
Der law. in the case of the delivery
of new machines. South Bend au-
thorities long since gave up the
plan of molesting and arresting deal
ers in a ease of this sort. and Mr.
Nichols argued that the same plan

On being arrested in the neighbOr-
ing town. the South Bend automobile
dealer put the matter up 10 the au-
thorities on this line and in reply
he was fined $11 without even going
into court. He was instructed TO put
up a cash bond Of $25 and ppear
in court the next day, but he was
unable to comply with this request
because Of having a business ap-
pointment in this city for the fol-
lowing day.
Mr.. Nichols has asked the local
dealers association 10 take up the
matter with the Michigan City au-
thorities and will also have the Chi
Cego Motor club. of which he is a
member, make an Investigation. with
a view of securing relief for auto

DARK TIRES GIVE
BETTER SERVICE
United States Co. Says Ex-
perimentS Have Developed
Better Wearing Stock.

That its tires are now made in
dark colors is due not TO a fad in
style. but TO important improve
ments in the compounds which
make up the tire tread. is the
statement of the United States Tire
Co.
After a long period of experiment
tation. this company developed a
new formula for its tread COM
pounds, so much tougher and much
better-wearing, that it was adopted
as the standard of manufacture.
even though it called for a change
from the light color to which the
public has been accustomed.
Before the dark tire was placed
on the market it was thoroughly
tested by the testing fleets Of the
strated that the dark compound
produced tires OF greater mileage
than the lighter stock. The dark
colored tires have been on the mar
ket long enough now to demon
strate their superiority.
Aside from the matter of the
quality OF the tire, the dark colored
tire has a decided advantage in
that il is not so easily discOlOred
as the light tire. To keep a light
colored tire presentable required
frequent dressings, but the black
tire needs no attention OF this sort.
II the dark tire offered no supe-
rior points, the light tire would
probably be in demand with buyers
who regarded il with favor, but the
superiority in toughness and dura-
bility OF the dark tread make the
matter Of color a negligible factor
when considered in connection with
the subject OF the real merits of
the tire.

About six hours was lost repairing
the gasoline leak and then the car

Perfect Nonstop Record.
The nonstop record was perfect
up 10 the time of the "gas" line break.
The course covered a radius OF so
miles around Harrisburg. Running
conditions were difficult including
traffic obstacles, rough clay roads and
hills; and showers the first night out,
Sunday, May 4, with continuous
heavy rains Thursday and Friday.
The test was staged by the Overland
Harrisburg Co, distributors of
Willys-Knight and Overland cars.
The run was announced as an at
tempt 10 beat the world record as
set by a model 80 in Oklahoma City
March 29-April 5. 1t is reported
that conditions under which the test
was run were worse han in Okla
homa. In the Oklahoma run few
hills were encountered; around Har-
risburg inclines abound, which to-
gether with mud account for the fact
that the average gasoline Consump-
ton per miles at Harrisburg was II
] 5 miles to the gallon, while 20.66
miles was scored for every gallon
used in the Oklahoma test.
The daily mileage average at Har-
risburg exceeded by lis miles the
a. A. A. official 24-hour nonstop
record, and beat the Oklahoma "a
hour average by 1872 miles. In the
last hour and a half Of the Harris
burg run the driver made 43 miles,
a fact that is pointed out by the dis
tributor as demonstrating the fine
condition of the model 80 at the
finish.

Motor Transports Provide
Flexible System, Aiding
Farmers to Reach Markets

The trouble with the transporta-
ton system and the distribution
system which depended on it. as
far as the agricultural portions Of
the United States is concerned. has
been their infexibnity. but this is
now disappearing before the mobil-
ity Of motor truck transportation.
according 10 w c. Rowley. vice
president OF sales Of the Federal
Motor Truck Co.
1T is remarkable the work the
motor truck a do. has done and

living, as well as the cost of doing
business. The hexibility and adapt
ability of the motor truck permits
its use in hundreds of ways that
directly benefit mankind. but par
ticularly by providing a direct mar
keting system for the farmer" says
Mr.. Rowley.
Rural motor transports is just
one of many that are springing up

Wash Poisons and Toxins From
system Before Putting Food
Into Stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food taken into
the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste
material must be carried out of the
body. If this waste is not eliminated
day by day it quickly ferments and
generates poisons, gases and toxins
which are absorbed or sucked into the
blood stream. through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment.
A splendid health measure Is to
drink, before breakfa each day, a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, which is
a harmless way to wash these poisons
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the alimentary canal
before eating more food.
