TOURING IN |ND|A
 PUTS CAR TO TEST

From Calcutta India, comes the re- tour that makes similar undertakings in this country look like pleasure ex- cursions. Not because of the distance covered, but because of the numerous difficulties encountered.
 It tells of a trip from Calcutta to Dehra Dun, distance of over $500 miles, made by two men in a Paige model "Linwood" carrying a load equv- alent to that of nearly eight men, on 9 demonstration tour to the following towns; AHahabad, Cawnpore, Jhansi Gwalior
 People who are not familiar with the obstacles in that country have littel or no idea of the cross country touring difficulties in India. Our United States though it posses a few highways, is by no means free from thousands of miles of unnavigable roads, but in India, the tourist, in many cases does not eX- pect to find a road.
 Moreover, it is common for the tour ist there to find rivers with innocent white sand bottoms that have a mania for swallowing the cars that attempt to ford them; and savage trails that meander tiresomely for miles only to lead in the end into forests, swamps and deep gorges.
 All of these and many other hazards were met by the Paige tourists in their cross country tour. So severe were | the road shocks and strains endured, l that with the load carried the frame l hit the rear axle buffers (bumpers) 1 every time a rut was crossed. In spite | of all this, when the load was removed | the springs resumed their normal con tour and showed no strains after with standing all of this wrenching.
 It is remarkable that after coming 1 through all of this rough age. the motor is still running perfectly, and can be throttled down to 11a miles per hour in high gear without slipping | the clutch.
 The importance of this trip lies in the fact that an American car can go through a grind of this kind and come out absolutely unharmed, with the eX- ception of seven punctures. This takes i on a bigger meaning when one con- sders that most of the cars sold in | India are purchased by men who live ] hundreds of miles from the stations, | which necessitates constant driving on roads like those encountered in this l cross- country tour.

SAVE REPAIR BILLS
 BY WATCHING AUTO

In these increasingly busy days the auto is more and more a daily neces- sity. Tn business it has become ab
 solutely indispensable to most people at some time in the twentyfour hours. So it is that the mere prospect of a car having to go to the repair shop is naturally occasion for annoyance, if not serious inconvenience, because

 All this Inconvenience and expense may be easily avoided by the simple application of a few drops of Spoktite around the hub at the first sign ol trouble.
 The foregoing is but one instance of many that daily confront the auto owner The moral of it all is: See that wear and tear is reduced to q minimum by constant lookout for the first sign of derangement and fix il before the damage becomes serious.

DIFFICULT TO SAVE
IN SOUTH AMERICA

SANTA FEE, y. NJ. July 2S.-Sav-
ing money Is a harder task in South
America than in the United States,
despite the higher salaries paid there.
says Eugene Lujan, of Santa Fe. who
recently resigned his position as clerk
OF the American Legation at La Paz
Bolivia.
In letter to his father, who Is
assistant secretary of state of New
Mexico, young Lujon points out that.
though one can earn more in South
America than in North America, the
cost Of living Is higher. Shoes which
sell for So in the United States cost
S12 in Bolivia. Board and room
amount to $50 a month, laundry at
least $12, and everything else in pro-
portion.
Although Spanish is the official
language, "Lujan writes, there are
many dialects, for the population is
considerably mixed. We have the Ay-
amaras, who are pure Indians, the
cholos, or half-breeds; the Bolivians.

mans"

perhaps five hundred rortlanders
and make an attractive sight along
the Willamette. within thco or four
miles from the center of Portland.
The house boats. moored in groups
OF from 10 to 100. are reached by
noating sidewalks also built on logs,
leading from the shore and along the
rear of the houses. Eangplanks con.
meet the individual homes with this
float.
Telephone and electric lighting
wires. gas pipes and city water mains
extend along the float and are con

these river dwellers "all the COM
forts of home" including running
water from moutain streams so
that river water need not be used
for drinking and cooking. Gas me-
ters. furnishing gas for cooking and
heating. are placed for each house
and gas and city water are led into
the homes by rubber garden hose
connected with the mains along the
float.
GAY blossoms in window boxes and
hanging baskets adorn the broad
front porches or decks OF these dwell
ings, which have their fronts toward
the middle of the river and their
back doors toward the nearest shore.
The decks are furnished with porch
screens, hammocks, swings and ar

Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

Were not here long so let's make
out stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work WE'LL sleep
we'll, and look well. What a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices in the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
tomach, liver and bowels the previ-
Gus days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations. gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume Of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins. blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get
quarter pound Of limestone phosphate
from the rhug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone ropnounced CRANK on the
subject of inside bathing before
breakfast.-Adv.

NATIONAL PARKS
WILL Be JOINED
BY GOOD ROADS

HELENA. Montana. July 2S. -
Eleven Western states will be rep
resented at meeting in Yellow
stone Park. August 10 and IL, called
for the purpose of advancing the
United States Interior Departments
project of joining together the ma
tional parks with motor highway.
Good roads experts. enthusiasts
and commercial club presidents are
coming from the principal cities OF
the West to meet with the National
Park Service officials. The motor
highway. the first link of which al
ready has been opened between fel-
lowstone and Glacier Parks. is de-
signed by Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane as a means for
keeping American vacation dollars
at home instead of allowing them to
go abroad.
In speaking recently for the need
for the convention, Senator T. J.
Walsh of Montana, said.
Governments of Europe are pre-
pairing for their greatest tourist
years as soon as passports are again
freely issued. Europe has been
vastly advertised by the war. Be-
fore the war s25O,0OO,O0O was spent
by Americans in foreign lands. I'm
less the government. of the United
States does something to keep her
people at home, the national parks
and resorts OF the West may be de-
serted in the years just ahead.
Accordingly, the Interior Depart
ment has been aroused TO the point
of meeting Europe's tourist propa-
ganda. One of the expedients is an
automobile highway connecting the
national parks and monuments.
This will help keep the tide of the
tourists, which now is turned west
ward, coming our way. The coop
Grafton of the Western states liberal
ly extended to the government at
this time will repay them a thousand
times"
To lead the tourist cars from park
to park, big motor busses are to be
operated over the highway selected
by the government. Already Yellow
stone and Glacier Park buses main
tain regular schedule between
these two great parks, making the
two-day trip semi-weekly. The busses
follow the new Geysers-to-Glaciers
rail, which passes through Gardiner
Livingston, Bazeman, B u ] d r,
Townsend, Helena, Augusta, Gil
man, Choteau, DuPeyer, and Brown
ing, and gives the tourist a scenic
tour straight across Montana over
the best roads in the state.
Before the conference at Yellow
stone, August 10th and 18th, scout
cars from Helena and Denver will
make tours between Yellowstone
and Rocky Mountain Park with Ma
tional Park Service officials.
! AS fast as the government can act
and the transportation system de-
yelOned mark busses will he onerat
