A HEALTH GVER

Half the pleasure OF the automobile

nerves.
More than 60 per cent of us take our

may move about, but we don't get out
Of the second hand air zone. We ride
in the same old noise and the same old
CRIME and smoke that we work in.
Hence automobiling on city AVE
ments brings little physical change and
mighty little relaxation.
Your automobile, if,-directed by an
intelligent and thinking hand, Is a
health giver. No, l am not healing the
world or anything like that, but l as
sert on my oath, Inc many will bear
me out, that it is easier any time TO
take so barrels of fresh air than 50 bar-
rels Of cod liver oil into your system.
And you can't get the fresh air that
your lungs crave In a city. You must
get into the country to get 1t, and that
