Heavy Weight Pounds Out Tires

II is excess weight that prevents the
average heavy and rigid car from eoualinp the
pabaely-kn0son Franklin mileage. The action
of the weight Of an automobile on its tires is
similar to a hammer blow-and the heavier the
hammer, the harder and more destructive the
blow. Heavy weight pounds out tires prema-
turely. And the heavy car owner, accustomed
to paying for tiremileagc he doesn't GET, accepts

ADMIT TRAGIC MISTAKE
IN JUSTFYING VAR
Thirty-nine of the 90 German Savants
and Professors Confess That Their
Contentious in 1914 Were
Poorly Founded.

Berlin, Dec ls.-Thirty-nine OF the
93 German savants and professors who
signed on Oct, IL, 1914, the famous
manifesto attempting to justify Ger
many's course in the war, now realize
that they made tragic mistake. "
Sixteen, however, adhere to their belief
that the manifesto was drawn up in
accordance with facts.
This has been disclosed by a canvass
of the rs living opponents of German
culture who signed the manifesto. This
has just been conducted by DR.. Hans
Weinberg.
DR.. Weinberg reports that 80 signers
of the celebrated document have adj.
mitted to him that to-day by no means
all of the assertions therein made could
be maintained. Many Of them, he says,
insist that they did not correctly read
or understand the paper when they
affixed their signatures to it or allowed
them to be attached.
Some Of these 30 already expressed
their regret that they signed the state
ment and eight of them have with
drawn their signatures since Dr. Web
berg began his investigation. These
eight are Lujo Brentano, Felix Won
Weingaertner, Herbert Gutenberg. w.
Foerster. Won Kaubach and the theo-
logians SchmidIin, Hermann and Maus-
bach.
Writing to Dr. Weinberg, Herbert
Gutenberg said that the % men who
signed the manifesto at the beginning
of the war then believed that Germany
had been attacked underhandedly and
that the country merely availed itself
of its right of self-defense.
Professor Brentano has declared that
he was urged by telegraph to allow his
signature to be appended, that he as
scented only to regret it bitterly after
he saw the text of the paper Felix
Weingaertner writes in similar vein
OF the rs living scientists and profes-
sors, DR.. Weinberg received replies from
50. Sixteen who stood by their guns
and declared their adherence to their
original standpoint include Siegfried
Wagner, Eduard Meyer, Doerpfeld and
LEM.
One OF the l6 replied that he had
read the manifesto again, sentence by
sentence, and had not found a single
one which, according to his knowledge
of the situation could not be signed
to-day. Twenty-three of the sgners
did not reply to DR. Wehberg's inquiry.
The manifesto was originated, as
serts DR.. Weinberg, by small group Of
professors and artists including Emil,
Fischer, Fulda, Harnack, Humperdinek,
Max Liebermann, Won List, Reike,
Riehl and Schneider They obtained
the signatures of the others chiefly by
telegraph.
The issuance OF the manifesto is
characterized by Dr. Weinberg as a
tragic mistake which has brought
harm to Germany" After the first ex-
element Of the war, he adds, the bet
ter part of the savants genuinely re
GREETED the signing but many were re-
strained by false pride from publicly
admitting error of Judgment
He quotes Carl Hauptmanu as saying
that the manifesto fills the signers
with horror and that they will be
warned for the rest of their lives
against the impetuous gregarousness
which has crazed humanity for cen
turtles"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants for Insurance Often Re-
jected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is soon realized 1t stands the highest
for its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent life insurance companies,
in an interview of the subject, made
the astonishing statement that one rea-
son why so many applicants for insur-
ance are rejected is because kidney
trouble is so common to the American
people, and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the disease,
