BAT TTERY
 MEN HELD b|G
 MEET ON COAST

over two hundred Pacific Coas exlde battery service station managers and proprietors met Monday morning. January IF, at the Hotel Stewart in san Francisco, for the purpose of talking over the problems peculiar to their business. At that convention was present Tom Spaulding, of the local Exite station.
 The convention came to a close on me afternoon of the 1eth and Mir Spduldlng states that there was not a dufi moment, at least for the battery men, during the entire five days ses- siofi.
 The paramount purpose of these an nual Exide conventions which are held m the various sections of the country lss to discuss and devise ways and means of giving better Exide service during each coming year The idea uppermost in the minds of the heads or the Exide company is to make it possible to give to the consumer such service as will insure for him the maximum use of his battery
 MT. Ford, who has created for him self an international reputation as a designer of batteries, and who during the period of the war gave his whole time and efforts to war work was present at the convention It was a battery of his design that was adopted by the government and although he held and still holds patients on this particular design, other battery com pariies were permitted to use it in their war work. Mir Spaulding says that MT. Ford comes back on the job With three or four new designs of bat teries intended for special purposes.

SOMERTON MAY HAVE FULL WIRE SERVICE. COMMISSION ORDERS

The state corporation commission yesterday Issued an order for the Western Union to establish a regular service at Somerton on or before March 1. 1920. on a six months pro- bation basis Under the present sys- tenn of service messages are tele- phoned from Somerton to the West ern Union at Yuma.
 Sornerton stands in high favor with the commission, the. commission re- port on the telegraph situation there containing the following:
 "Somerton is rapidly growing town situated in the heart of the Yuma val ley, approximately IA miles from Yuma It is connected with the latter point by paved road. It is without rail est railroad point. It came into ex istence some four or five years ago and has experienced remarkable growth. It is in the very heart of the cotton growing district of that val ley and has number Of cotton gins. On the date of the first hearing, April 30, it was stated there were some 60 to 70 business houses, whereas, there were only 45 one year previous thereto Within the past year the postoffice has been advanced from fourth to third class which is an eloquent illustfa- tion of it's growth"
 The Western Union company, in protesting the Sornerton citizens claim for regular service, maintained that the installation for regular service would cost $6,300 for poles and labor tenance at s200 a month. The com pany contended that the average re- ceipts from the requested office prob ably would not exceed $10O a month,

such as solid tire trucks and pneumatic tire trucks
 It has always been the aim and eff fort of the Exide manufacturer to specialize on the various styles of bat teries. thus enabling them to supply a battery peculiarly adapted to the du ties they will have to perform. To il- Iustrate this idea 1t might be men tioned that the Exide people designed and built a battery intended to be used on trucks equipped with solid tires This battery was put in operation and tested under similar conditions for a period of two years. during which time 1t was closely watched and it's per forrnance checked, at the conclusion of which time it was then offered to the public with a full Knowledge that it would give 100 percent service in that particular line of requirement..
 A motto the Exide Auto Manu- featuring people. which might well be carried out in all lines of business is We are never satisfied" meaning that they are continuously striving to improve the quality of the Exide line. So strong and insistent Is the demand of this company for perfect service that the contract of an Exide dis tributor practically depends upon whether or not he is giving to the con sumer the service that the nanufac turers of Exfde batteries demand the consumer should have.
 Two of the leading electrical engi- neers of the home factory were in at tendance at this convention and it will probably be pleasing news to the mo torists of Phoenix and Arizona to know that the system installed by MT. Spaulding received one of the highest commentators of any of the Pacific Coast.
 MT. Spaulding had the pleasure of receiving several requests from other service stations for a plat of his sys- tenn now in operation in Phoenix.

The Alkaline Effect of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets Usually
COrrects the Stomach Faults
That Provoke Attacks
of Indigestion or
Dyspepsia.

To sit back after a good meal and
know there is not going to be sour
risings, gas, drowsiness and discom-
fort is the logical result of using
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets immediate
ly after eating. Most people believe
they can trace each attack of indiges-
ton to the something they, ate and
can still taste" And it surprises
Them invariably, to note how quickly
relief comes after using one or two
of these tablets. Whether it is high
ly seasoned food, rich pastry, the
heavy hearty foods or some one par
ticular offender the relief comes just
the same. Those who are susceptible
to attacks of Indigestion or dyspepsia
should try Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
as they supply the stomach with an
alkaline effect just as it does natural
~ when it is working in a perfectly
healthy condition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
widely known and used that you can
get them in any drug store in the
United States and Canada at so cents

rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid. which is gen.
Grated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this ecid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to clint
nate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheuma tism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
