MIDWEST TEST
 0F MOTOR FUELS

An interesting experiment with a s5-horse power motor of four-cylin- der type is reported by ". o. Hink- ley. superintendent of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke company, in an address delivered before a gathering ty of Automotive Engineers on April 14 in Chicago.
 The experiment showed, according to report of Mir. Hinkleys ad- dress printed in a recent issue of the National Petroleum News that while 36 horse power was developed by the use of motor benzol, only 3215 horse power was developed with gasoline at 1,s0o revolutions per minute.
 run of six hours was made with both fuels at approximately 1,064 r. D. m. Before starting each run the engine was taken down and cleaned and fully adjusted to the fuel used. The gasoline developed 24 brake horse power and used 1s1 gallons of fuel or 2s4 gallons per hour This Is at the rate of 122 gallons per horse power hour. With the motor benzol the engine de- veloped 26 B. H. P. and consumed 13 gallons of fuel. This was at the rate of 2.S9 gallons per hour, or .109 gallons per horse power hour.
 The speaker testified that the en- zine operated more smoothly on the blend than on straight gasoline, and that subsequent examination showed less carbon on the pistons.

No Comparison Between the
 Car Of Yesterday and Today

Even the most casual observer of the automobile business is aware that there never have been greater values available to motor car pur- chasers than there are today. In comparison with a car of five or six years ago, a car of today, bearing the same name, is similar only to it's most general aspect. It is a new and different car. better car. The improvements have to do not only with the mechanism of the car but with the comfort and convenience Of driver and passengers
 It Is therefore hardly logical to compare the prices of today's car with the car of a few years ago. Had there been no changes, no improve ments, comparison based on price alone might have some significance. However, the car of today as fin ishedmechanism Is as for ahead of the car of six years ago as the auto mobile was head of the early motor wagon.

YOU AND |
WONDER HOW "FLU"
GERMS CAN PASS
THROUGH A STONE WALL

THE invisible, unidentified organ
ism or germ that causes ''flu" can
pass through a stone wall. Flu" it
self is the most mysterious disease in
existence.
So says DIR. William H. Park of
New York City's health department.
He adds that three years study of
"flu" has informed the medical pro
fession of only one thing-that is
that they know nothing about it.
Is ''flu" caused by germ? If so,
it travels through the air long dis
tances like a bird For this dread
disease is positively known to have
attacked and killed residents of the
Far North who hadn't even seer
other human beings for five years.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are near
fy always due to acidity-acid stomach
and mot, as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, fatulence, waters
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast while it is 'effervescing, and
furthermore. to continue this for one
week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with litfia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.
