Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car

These decisive tests proved Essex not
only the supreme performer of the light car
field, but they showed that the moderate
priced, economical Essex has such endur-
ance and dependability as few large, high
priced cars offer.
Greater size could add nothing to Essex.
It has the qualities, weight and size are
built to g;ve-riding comfort, solidness,
distinction and smooth, quiet pace. But
in addition it has fuel, oil and tire econ-
ony. And it's great durability means
freedom from repair costs and positive,
dependable Transportation
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1920-08-03

The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
Its 3O37 miles in so hours is world
endurance record. The test was official.
Supervisors of the A. A. A. certified the
Essex stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was car driven at top
speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal
to years of road use. Yet the Essex
showed no measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight,
can even attain a mile -a-minute speed,
much less keep it up for so hours?

BOLSHEVIKISTS AND POLES IN

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The Bolsheviki
are advancing on all fronts. They
have captured the town of Gle
chanow, cutting the Warsaw-Denzig
railway, along which supplies for the
Polish army have been sent. The
Russians have scored decisive vic
tory over the forces of General
Wrangle on the southern front.
The military decision reached at
the Hythe conference between Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Millerand
and their advisers were as follows,
according to the French foreign Of
flee: -.
First-That it was impracticable
to send Allied troops to Poland.
Second-the integrity's of Po-
lands western frontier was guaran-
teed. (This means that any effort
by Germany to use the present crisis
in an attempt to regain any of the
territory ceded to Poland under the
treaty of Versailles would be block
ed.)
Third-That blockade measures
against Russia would be taken later
Fourth-That the Allies would
continue sending munitions and skill

Gently.
when I commenced taking, the
medicine 1 only weighed one hun
dred pounds; now l weigh one hun.
dred and twenty-five pounds and
never felt better in my life. 1 had
suffered two attacks of the 'fu,' first
in January, 1919, and again in jan
uary, 1920, and as a result was in
a badly rundown, weakened condi-
tion. My nerves were so badly up
set / could never get a good night S
sleep and I had severe headache
just about all the time. My appe-
tIte left me almost entirely, and
the little 1 did manage to eat did
not seem to do me any good. I felt
tired and worn out all the time, and
was so miserable I became almost
desperate and had about given up
all hope of ever being well again.
But things are different now.
(; for thanks to Tanlac, all my
troubles are completely gone. I
; have regained my lost strength and
my nerves are in such good condi-
tion 1 can sleep and I have splen-

simply made me feel like a new wo-
