NEW STANDARD OF TESTING

The testing of motor cars, like the
building Of motor cars, has under
gone marked advancement during the
last few years. New Standards have
been created and new mechanical
testing devices have been perfected
to keep pace with the development of
the automobile itself
1t remained for the WHY'S Over
land Company, however, to supply the
supreme test for its latest model,
Overland 4 which has just been an
nounced. This test, it is believed,
has established new standards OF
testing and refinement of details to
make car practically perfect me-
Chemically before it goes to an owner
The history Of the development
building and testing Of Overland 4
which introduces the new three point
spring suspension, covers a period OF
years. The car is the product of Q
decade of progressive engineering
achievement toward the ideal light
weight car; of years intensive en-
gineering experiment and two years
actual demonstration and test in al
kinds Of weather and all sorts o.
roads.
During the two years of test, Over
land has given 100000 miles of &C
tual road demonstration. That's tel
times around the world before |
single car went on the market.

Are You ToOFat?
If You Really Want to Re- duce Your Weight, Follow
 This Simple Plan

Mrs. Fallon sends a communication which is being printed here on account of the genuine interest manifested by many other readers:
 Tell those of your readers who would like to be free of the enbar- rassing, hipdering burden of over weight without the objectionable fol- lowing of drastic rules of eating and exercising, to try the sane simple and safe plan of open-ai deep breathing combined with the use of oil of korein and the other simple directions that come with it.
 "A box containing a liberal quan- tity may be secured from any drug gist.
 With a simple, inexpensive and de- pendable means such as this, why should anyone continue to carry around a great load of surplus fat?"
 Every reader who desires to get down to normal weight should lose no time in making use of this in formation, especially as the treatment is said to reduce the weight harm lessly, quickly and pleasantly, also to materially aid digestion improve the general health, beautify the figure replace sluggishness with buoyancy and to leave firm flesh and smooth skin in the place of sagging, burden some fat. Remember the name-oil o1 korein, in capsules.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. tute for calomel - are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out thess little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't iniure the teeth like strong liquids or calornel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeths Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. Itis best not to take calomei, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "1oggy" and "heayy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits. loc and 25e a box. All druggists -
