The Key That UnlOcks the Door to
Long Living.

The men Of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, man past mid
die age will occasionally eat too much
or of some article Of food not suited
to his constitution, causing indiges-
ton or constipation and will need a
dose Of Chamberlain's Tablets to move
his bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done, there is no reason
why the average man should not live
to q ripe old age.

MANY railroad men complain that
motor trucks have taken much
desirable freight from steam trans
portation lines. IN New England the
Boston n Maine railroad has been
hard bit by freight truckers, and it
has started out to meet their compc-
tition by reducing freight rates on
all its branches Tor distances up to 30
miles from Boston. The managers Of
the railroad believe lower rates will
keep the freight business it now does
and win win back some 1t has lost.
This is . very sensible way for
TO meet competition than is
the course advocated by those who
want the stxte and federal govern
ment to tax motor trucks out Of the
freight hauling business.

GO0DYEAR'S SINGLE
CURE CLlNCHER TIRES
REDUCED TO $13.95

An announcement that will be
welcomed by more than 100000
owners Of small cars here in the
west is that which has just been
made by the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company of California to
the effect that the price Of Good
year 30X315 single cure clincher
tires has been reduced to $13.95,
effective July 1.
Taking into consideration the
immense improvements which
have been made in these tires, y
says J. X. Hough, manager Of au-
tomobile tire sales, "and consid-
ering their greatly increased in
built mileage, the consumer has
never before been offered such
value, not even by Goodyear, as is
in these tires at $13.95.
This extremely low price en-
ables every small car owner, re
gardless of the size of his pocket
book. to ride on Goodyear quality
backed by the Goodyear guarantee
of satisfaction.
"This low price Is made possible
| by the marked increase in the pro
duction of these tires to meet th'
| demand OF small car owner
throughout the west.
1T stands to reason that a com
pany that has built nearly 5000,
900 of these tires during the las
five years should know how t.
make such a tire as nearly perfec
as possible, and at the lowest pric
consistent with the quality Of tn
workmanship and materials enter
ing into their construction.
THE price of Goodyear singl
cure clinchers is now at a poin
lower than it has ever been befor
and their mileage delivering pro
pensities are considerably greater
Five years ago q tire that woul
give 1000 miles of untrouble
service was indeed scarce. but to
day 5000 and 10000 miles fror
Goodyear single cure tires are b
no means uncommon. At this ne7
price the consumer is getting NOR
than twice the mileage Of flv
years ago, and at a greatly reduce
cost, so that it is no longer neces
sary for him to experiment wit
unknown quality"

PIRATES AND INDIANS BATTLING
HARD TO RETAIN lead I'M FLAG
RACE In Respective LEAGUES
tBY TIE ASSOCIATED PREssA

New York, July 1I--A diff
cult week confronts both the Pitts
burgh National league leaders and
the Cleveland American world
champions. The Pirates are striv-
ing hard to beat off New York,
which is three games behind, while
Boston their next opponent, is
coming after them at high speed.
The Indians and the New York
Yankees who are beginning to edge
away from the other American
clubs, started battle Wednesday
for the top position. The Indians
are only one contest ahead Of New
York, and have dropped three of
their last four contests.
The National league, Pittsburgh,
has failed to set the same pace as
on its previous eastern invasion.
Cooper, the Pirates star pitcher,
disposed of Brooklyn and phila-
delphia and was batted out by
New York. The Giants, who went
ten innings today before admitting
defeat, have won seven of the nine
games with the invading western
teams. Excellent pitching and
timely batting have enabled Bos-
ton to take eight games of the nine
with the westerners.
Brooklyn is batting well but the
pitchers, including Grimes, the Su-
perba star, are unsteady. Poor
pitching is causing st. Louis tc
drop back. After setbacks in New
York and Boston, Chicago hopes tc
take revenge on the other eastern
clubs. The good work of the CuE
pitchers early last week was vast
ed through light hitting.
Cincinnati ana Philadelphia art
playing an in-and-out game.

EARNS TITLE Of

Fergusson will receive the Mind

Miss Hubbell began and fin-
ished her exhibition brilliantly,
but was outclassed in the match
by the steadiness Of her oppo-
nent, Miss Hubbell drew the
serve on the toss in the first set.
She won her own serve, that OF
Miss Ferguson, and her own
again. Miss Ferguson then won
her second serve and five sue
cessive games for the first set.
The second set began with Miss
Fergusson's serve, which she won.
Games were won alternately UNI
til Miss HubbeIl got three, then
Miss Ferguson took the remain
ing two. AS the second set pro-
gressed the playing became more
scientific. Dextrous back hand
strokes from difficult positions
were played by both girls. The
long rallies from the back line
which marked the first set gave
way to better placed balls played
with variety of strokes. Miss
Hubbell dropped a spectacular
high short lob just over the net
on the next to last play. thereby
preventing her opponents max
