The Greatest Improvement
In Riding Comfort Since The Introduction
of Pneumatic Tires

HERE is a brand new type of
l. Lear. 1t solves the problem
which has bafled automotive en-
gineers--how to combine riding
comfort with, light weight and

Our new Three-Poif1f Cantilever
Springs make this possible.
These are the first springs of
their kind and they are made of
chrome vanadium steel. They are
exclusive with Overland.
Because of these springs, Over

HAVE YOU SCROFULA?.
Now Said to Be as Often Acquired
as Inherited.

1t is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
cases it en!arges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs, es-
pecially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
1t causes many troubles, and is
aggravated by impure air, unwhole-
some food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want Of proper exercise.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the medicine
that has been used with so much
satisfaction by three generations, is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of scrofula. Give it trial.
If a cathartic or laxative is needed,
take Hoods Pills,-there is nothing
better for b;liousness or constipation.

with infantile paralysis.
There were seventeen numbers on the
program, mostly classic and all CON
tributed by Chicago's best talent.
Time and space will not permit indi-
vidual criticism, but suffice il to say
that each one gave of his or her best;
and as no encores were permitted, the
program went off without in any way
becoming tiresome.
Each performer was greeted upon his
or her appearance with round of APP
plause which left no doubt in the minds
Of any one rs to the appreciation which
Chicago holds for its own,
At the close of the program, the
audience seemed in no way TO have lost
its enthusiasm.
During the intermission remarks
were made by Miss Estella C. Bonds,
Chairman of the Committee on Ar
engagements, thanking the audience, the
artists and all who contributed toward
the success Of the affair. She intro
duced Miss Abby E. Lane, Principal of
