What I Haze Learned

HAVE been watching the re-
suits of constipation for AT
n years, since l began the prac-
tice of medicine back in 1875. /
am now 50 years old. and though
from time to time the medical pre-
fession makes some wonderfully
interesting experiments and tests,
the fundamentals of causes and
relief in this particular ailment
: are unchanged.
But the people take greater in
terest today in their health, in
Diet exercise and the drinking of
water. Constipation. however, will
occur from time to time no matter
how one tries to avoid it. OF next
Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. / believe in
getting as close to nature as
possible, hence my remedy for
constipation, known as DR.. Cald-

of Egyptian SIENNA and pepsin
with agreeable aromatics. Chill

1t does not grippe. Thousands of
mothers have written me to that

Cross-Country Tour
Includes Stop Here

The return leg of one of the most
remarkable camping tours on record
was begun early in June by MIR. and
Mrs. Uhlyk. who left New York head
ed for their home in Los Angeles. On
their way east the tourists covered
$3.50 miles in a great swing through
the Northwest and then on toward
New York through the Lake state
and then the New England States. On
their journey west they will proceed
over the southern route, going first to
Miami, Florida. and then out through
New Orleans and Eel Paso. They will
touch at Phoenix and the Grand
Canyon before heading for home.
For their tour. Mr.. and Mrs.
Uhlyk use a light truck equipped
with pneumatic tires. The truck is
equipped with beds and cooking ac-
commodations. Appropriately named
the ''Wanderluet.' the little truck will
have touched the soil of more states
when it gets back to California than
almost any otae~ Il otor vehicle in eX-
istence. The tire equipment is United
States Nobby Cords. When the
truck finished lis journey to New
York two Of the tires contained the
same air with which they left Cali
eoraia. The only tire trouble which
appeared was ;i pdncture in one tire
and stone bruise in another.

the validity of the claim is obvious.
The men who bolted the meeting
were the representatives of the Ohio
Association, the Illinois State Asso-
citation and the Hoosier State Auto
mobile Association, with one club
from Kentucky and two clubs from
Missouri. The utmost strength the
boilers registered upon the conven-
ton floor was SO delegates. And
While these few leaders are talking
so confidently about forming a new
association. it is significant that
neither they, nor any of the mem
bers of their clubs, have resigned
from the A. "A. They are still mem-
bers of the American Automobile AS
sociation
1T appears significant" said Dai
IL. Lewis, acting executive chairman
of the A. A. a., that these men
should charge the A "A. a. with ''com-
itself, inasmuch as the
A. A A. does not now and never has
sanctioned insurance as a feature of
It's national organization. It has no
jurisdiction as to what its affiliated
clubs may do.
we do not believe that the gem
eral membership OF these clubs is
behind the men who are planning a
new so-called national organization,
and we will take no action until we
have definite assurance that these
clubs have finally withdrawn from
the A A.A. The American Automo-
bile Association is too big and too
strong to be hurt by the withdrawal
of these men, and it will continue in
the future as it has in the past, to
be the champion of the motorists of
the nation in city, state and nation"

SAYS INSURANCE:
MEN ARE: CAUSE:
Of SEPARATE

WASHINGTON, June IT. (SpeciaD
Powerful insurance agencies, which
failed, with the aid of few dis
gruntled office seekers, to obtain
control of the American Automobile
Association at St. Louis, We're largely
responsible for the withdrawal of a
few delegations and the attempted
formation of a new organization. ac-
cording to officials of the A. A. A.
here today. This contention is
borne out by an editorial in the Ma
tional Underwater, the leading ing
surance magazine, which gives credit
to the following insurance agents.
j. A. Giberson, of Alton, H.; b. Hay
wood Hagerman and Frank Furga-
son, Kansas City, Mo-. Edward A.
Winter, of Cincinnati, and Percival
T. Knowlton of Ashtabula. Ohio. for
the break which led the Illinois. Ohio
and Indiana state associations. with
a few scattering clubs, to withdraw
from the A.A.A. meeting.
These interests Immediately started
the formation of another national
organization, called yariously i'm their
literature the National Automobile
Association and the American Motor
lists Association and immediately be-
gan issuing attacks on the A "A
claiming 1t to be a commercial con-
Germ" dealing in insurance, notwith-
standing that they knew at the time
that the A.A.A. does not handle in
surance.
The grounds for the bolt were that
the Chicago Motor Club had not been
legally elected to membership and
that its delegates should not be
seated. This was disproved at the
meeting, by the minutes of the ex-
ecutive board meeting at which the
Chicago club was legally admitted
and at which representatives of sew
eral of the filibustering clubs were
present and agreed. The protest
like that against the Ohio State Asso-
citation, charged with falsifying its
accounts in paying membership dues
10 the A.A.A A, were both ignored and
both delegations seated.
The bolters Immediately began to
claim detection of twelve states from
the A.A. A. with total membership
of anywhere from 100000 to 100000
members. AS there were not 100000

This is the statement of Bob Rob

utors here, when asked as to the re-
suits of his Get Acquainted Sale"
that has been running for the past
two weeks. Roberts waxed so en-
thusiastic over the results that he
gave the order to continue the sale
for two more weeks.
The "Get Acquainted Sale" of Kel-
ly-Springfield tires has been the We
hicle for hundreds of motorists
throughout the valley to become ac-
quainted with Kelly Springfield tires.
Kelly tires were high priced. They
conceded that Kellys gave unusual
mileage and satisfaction. but many
have bought strictly on price
grounds, and it was to these that
Roberts gave the opportunity to "be-
come acquainted with Kellys."
Our June business, up to yester-
day was already ahead of May" he
declared last night, land May was the
biggest month in our history. We
have priced Kelly Springfield tires to
convince the public that it costs no
more to buy Kelly" They have
responded far more than we had an
ticipated and we are going. to con-
tinue the sale for two more weeks"

the only driver who really appreciates
the changes is the one who has

things that not many drivers of today
remember:
Pumping tires by hand.

"Cranking the car about midway

Tire Mileage Much
Dependent on Good
Efforts of Worker

investigations covering a long pc
rlod of years have proven that uni
formity in tire service is 10 per cent
attributable to variations in road con-
dltions and S5 per cent due to manu-
facturc. Tires vary in mileage in
about the same way that workmen
building them do in their work The
same rule applies in the materials
entering into the tire. Rubber, ac-
cording to Manager Fish of the Cen
tral Auto Supply company, varies like
apples.
To build a uniform tire that will
give uniform service it. is necessary,
to eliminate these variables and es-
tablish positive basis from which
to work. There is the task of train
ing men to be uniform workmen. Fab
ric must meet a certain uniform
standard of quality. The cotton fab
ric must be long staple. Scientific
records are necessary. There is also
constant laboratory testing. Not a
single charge may be adopted with
out months of road testing.

CACTUS GARAGE
OFFERING REAL
STORAGE PLAN

With a change of management the
Cactus Garage is putting into effect
a new storage plan that is proving of
great popularity. This new plan
allows a motorist or car owner to
store his car in large cool fireproof
storage room, free from crowding.
and with battery service, radiator
service and daily busting service for
the small sum of IS per month.
Jack White. popular garage man
of the coast, who has been the pro-
prietor of a string of garages reach
ing from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco, has taken over the Cactus Ga
rage and is working out plans TO
make of it the most popular garage
in the Salt River valley. Capt. c.
NJ. McWorter, formerly master me-
chanic at the Hog Island Shipbuild
ing plant. is in charge of the repair
ing and overhauling department of
the new garage. Mr.. White claims
McWorter is the best mechanic in the
entire state. and guarantees perfect
satisfaction to car owners who may
be in need of repair work, adjust
ments and oyerhauling.
Battery service and tire service of
the best kind will be available to the
public at the Cattus Garage. Other
storage plans embrace almost any
type of service car owners want, in
Guiding calling for and delivering
cars: According to Mr.. White the
new rates are the most reasonable
ever offered to the public in this Sec

road at sustained high speed.
The treads showed but little signs

that those on the rear were rib treads

CITES CAUSES Of
BATTERY FAILURE

Many conditions conspire to under
mine the long life and usefulness of
storage battery and try its tough
ness and ability to withstand abuse
Hard, fast driving over rough
roads or through mud or dust give a
battery punishment that will shorten
its period of service, While neglect
caused by infrequent testing and
lack of water are equally as hard on
the cells.
"Other causes of battery failure
before the normal period of its life
is up" according to Moody and Nor
rel, loce Gill battery dealers, ''in-
clude long driving. much starting and
stopping, cold weather, hot weather.
and excessive use of lights. Many
from Akron to Chicago. distance
beyond the rated capacity of the bat
terry without realizing that they con-
sumo energy and that provision must
be made for replacing it.
"Oftimes the hold down clamps are
loose, the distributor or generator,
worn or dirty and the motor may
have tight bearings or be using too
heavy oil. Again poor carburetion
means unnecessary use of the bat
terry"
Loose connections and short cir
cults in the switch box very often
prevent a battery from giving serv-
ice at all These are many of the
conditions which the expert battery
men can detect and emphasize the
OF motorists visiting their
battery station at least once month
for inspection"
