containing S2,OO0.000 worth Of mar
cotics from New York to Chicago.

set for Wednesday and bail Of $780,
900 was continued.
In his interview with Tuttle the
prisoner said that he never knew
Rothstein. though it was notations
in the gamblers business files that
led TO the arrest of Unger and seiz-
ure of the narcotics. He also de-
MED knowing Mrs. June Boyd of
Chicago. held as a material witness
against him and mentioned in his
indictment as a conspirator with

the stricken monarch back to health.
This bulletin, awaited by crowds
outside the palace with apprehensible
interest, showed that there had been
no such suddn change as had been
anticipated. The condition of the
patient remained about as before, the
disquieting factor being the persist

than twenty miles to the gallon.
Because Of the ample power pro-
vided in the new Six cylinder
motor, in addition to it's f!exibility,
it has been possible to equip the
rear axle with comparatively
high gear ratio of 3.18 to /, which
reduces the turnover speed of
the motor in comparison to road
speeds without lessening the cars
ability to Climb hills and make a
quick get-a-away in traffic.
The motor has a bore of 3-5 ZIG
inches and a stroke of 1874
inches. The piston displacement
is 1914 cubic inches. On accurate
tests in the General Motors La
boratories, this motor has devel-
oped 46 horsepower at low en-
CINE speeds and is of particularly
rugged construction with a crank
shaft weighing 46 pounds. The
car is equipped with an A..C air
cleaner, an automatic fuel pump
which replaces the former vacuum
tank, a carbueter with automatic
accelerating pump and a special
system OF automatic fabrication
for the entire rocker-arm mechan-
ism and for al valve operating
parts.
The lines of the new car are
particularly attractive with flat
hood and stream line effect, max
ing the car comparable in appear
ance with many cars costing more
than twice as much money. All
bodies for the new Chevrolet Six
are of Fisher craftsmanship and are
being finished is most attractive
Duco color schemes. The upholst-
iery on the enclosed models is par.
ticular!y attractive and of long
life.
A feature which will be of spe-
cial interest to the driver of the
car is the fact that in all closed
models the front seat is adjusta-
Bile, rendering as possible to fit the
driving position 20 either tail or
short operators.
The instrument board and dash
arrangement is particularly at
tractive and is of the indirectly
lighted type, equipped with am
meter, oil-pregsure gauge, speed
ometer, spark throttle and choke
controls and a motor temperature
Indicator. While the wheel base of
the car remains the same as in
the former model, 107 inches, the
bodies have more room on the in .
terror and are more convertible
and more elaborately finished.
The line consists of roadster,
a phaeton which replaces the for
mer touring car, the coach or two
door sedan, the coupe, four-door

Six cylinder Chevrolet replacing
the former four cylinder car with
prices practically unchanged has
created something of a sensation
through the entire country.
In come tion with this an
nouncement the statement was
made that the new car would sell
at prices approXimating $200.C0
less than any other Six on the
market and with no raise at all in
price over the former Four .cylin-
der Chevrolet except in the case
Of the two-door Sedan which has
been raised $1,000 and the Con-
vertible Landau, which replace
the Imperial Landau and will sci!
for $1,000 more than the former

There have been rumor of
Chevrolet coming out with Six
cylinder car for several months
but the announcement by w. S.
Knudsen, President and General
Manager of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, made in Detroit on No
vember 16, was rendered specta-
cular by the fat that this new car
was to be-sold at practically no
raise in price.

closed, and with higb-compres-

Doctor Found Women y

: More Often than Men

As a family doctor at Monticello,
illinois, the whole human body, not
any small part of it, was DR.. Cald-

''calls' were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most of
ten sick. But their illnesses were
usually of a minor natu1e-colds,
fevers, headaches, biliousness-and
all OF them required first thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
In the course of DR.. Caldwell's AZ
years practice Che was graduated
from Rush Medical College back in
1879, he found a good deal of sue
cess in such cases with a prescrip-
tion OF his own containing simple
laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892
he decided to use this formula in the
manufacture of g. medicine to be
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and in that year his prescrip-
tion was first placed on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great success in the drug stores
as it previously had in DR.. Cald-
Weils private practice. Now, the
third generation is using it. Moth
ers are giving it to their children
who We're given it Dy their mothers.
Every second of the working day
someone somewhere is going into a
drug store to buy it. Millions of
bottles Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
Sin are being used a year.
It's great success is based on merit,
on repeated buying, on one satisfied
user telling another. There are
thousands of homes in this country
that are never without a bottle of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and
we have gotten many hundreds of
letters from grateful people telling
us that it helped them when every
thing else failed.
While women. children and elderly

neither opiates nor narcotics, it is
