under arrest and escorted by a crowd
of amused but sympathetic OnlO0kers

The case was taken before the su-

Following the decision the entire

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to class field that was UNI
known.
The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall short
Of the Super-Six in all particulars save
size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause Of its nimblencss. They like the
way it's performance compares with that
OF the Super-Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any com
munity that are most prominent because
Of their performance ability the the

THIS LITTLE WOMAN WEIGHED
80 POUNDS.
Takes Tanlac and Now She Weighs
Exactly One Hundred and
Fifteen Pounds.

'sWhen l first began taking Tanlac
l only weighed ninety pounds, but 1
now weigh one hundred and fifteen"
was the remarkable statement made
by Mrs. E. ]. Straw of ITO Croker
St., Des Moines, Iowa, in an inter-
view, recently.
81 really thought l was not going
to get WELL" she continued, $50 my
wonderful recovery has made me one
of the happiest women in Iowa. l
just want everybody to know what
Tanlac has done for me. l honestly
believe it has saved my life.
"Just about one year ago l was
taken down with influenza, which
left my kidneys all out of order and
my stomach in such bad condition l
could not eat without suffering after
wards. Of course, like anyone else,
who is in bad health, tried every
thing possible in my efforts to find
something to build me up, but in
place Of getting stronger l kept get
ting weaker. My nerves We're in such
bad shape that the least noise would
upset me. l could not do any of my
lousework and had to spend most of
my time in bed. l felt discouraged
and Respondent and worried continu-
ally over my dreadful condition, which
seemed beyond the reach of medicine.
Seeing Tanlac so highly recon-
mended, decided to try it, and l be-
lieve it has been a God-send to me.
At the time l began taking it / had
been down in bed for three weeks and
had almost despaired of ever getting
well, but / had not finished my first
bottle until was up and about. Then
it wasn't long until was able to pre-
pare the meals for my family and was
soon able to do my homework. l have
taken seven bottles now, and every
one of them has been worth its
weight in gold to me. / have actual
ly gained twenty-five pounds in
weight and if one could feel like a
new person, l do. Before taking Tan
lac ! was also suffering with bad
case of neuritis in my right shoulder.
I had not been able in six months to
comb my own hair. But that, like all
the rest Of my troubles, is entirely
gone, and am now enjoying the best

BIG CROWD AT SHOW.

The admirers of Douglas Fairbanks
turned out in force to see his latest
picture at the Majectic last night.
Long before the starting time of the
first show the crowd had blocked the
sidewalk, and people were turned
away at both shows. However, the
picture will be run again tonight, and
those who were disappointed will no
doubt try it again.

Essex Did Not Need
Hudson's Endorsement

Think of the advantages Essex has
had. What ordinarily would have re-
quired years to perfect was made pos
sible in the very first model
That is why 10000 are now running,
why more than $30,000,00000 was paid
for Essex cars in ten months.
You have not needed the Hudson Ell
dorsement to understand Essex per-
Torrance.
Essex has won it's own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit of the experience Of
its engineers and the ability Of it's manu-
featuring organization. Its name was
not needed.
Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
father might in speaking of his son
who on his own account had made good.

Do You Know Hudson
But Through Sheer Merit Alone Essex Made
Its Thirty Million Dollars Sales Record
Builds the Essex?

Essex success has not been accidental.
No one doubts it's right to the position
it holds.
On the Cincinnati Speedway, a stock
classic Essex set the world 5O-hour en-
durance mark, of 3O37 miles, under
American Automobile Association SUI
pervision Another stock Essex holds
the unequallcd 24-hour road mark of
1861 miles.
But how many know why Essex in it's
first year revealed qualities more ma
ture, more evident Of the influence of
long experience, than is commonly found
in cars even in their third and fonrtb
year.
You will recall the Essex was an
nounced one year ago without one word
as to the identity Of it's builders. Not a
claim was made for its performance.
You were asked to go look at it, take
ride and form your own opinion. The
Essex was required to speak for itself.
Now that it has established itself. It is
revealed why Essex has all the qualities
of cars of long development.
Was Designed by
Hudson Engineers
They conceived it as they developed
the Super-Six. All they learned about
endurance, they incorporated in the Els
sex.
They gave to the Essex the power
that has made it famous i'll all quarters.
Its speed is the result of what had been
learned in making the Super-Six winner
Of all worth while speed records.
The Essex can never be all that the
Super-Six is for they are totally differ
ent types.

there will be famine in the land if food is

than in ten of the boys brought up in
rural districts have gone back to the farms after
being released from military service
There charms in the city that the farm does
not have. The streets alive with humanity thea

bring more to the industrial oenters Every person
making a home city is asset the com

The commercial spirit seems hold the upper

building has been going the United States at
the expense OF the rural districts Now the charms
Of city life. with municipal light. heat, water and
extensive transportation systems, invite the and

NOW LET RAILROADS GIVE SERVICE.

The railroad employees have made their haul and
the railroads have made theirs and now may we not
hope that public Mr.. Ultimate Consumer. may
be privileged to make a little haul also. What the
public will ask in return is service.
As the matter of most concern to the public in
the railroad wage dispute was the obtaining Of
efficient service the country will look expectantly

been adjusted and rates have been increased to take

right disposition is shown toward meeting This de-

toward the higher rates The public was Ttepared
for the advances allowed the carriers by inter-
state commerce commission, understanding natural
~. that the increase In wages granted railroad
poyes would be passed on to it through increased
freight and passenger rates.
The country has reached the point where If it
can get improved service will not hesitate to pay
any that be shown to be reasonable II
was painfully impressed during government opera-
tion of the roads that the latter had been max
ing the money the people had been led to suppose
indeed that the carriers were in bad way through
having been restricted too closely in their charges
While the cost the service and materials they
Qured was soaring. 1t IS common sense, if We
avoid a collapse OF the transportation system.
that the carriers cannot be keTt hobbled much

The first essential Of prosperity is to ge; the
