COLDS CAUSE

Numerous Cases.

The annual "cold bill'' looms as

Is minor disease the average bust
ness man looks on the pay roll loss
caused by cold as petty item.
Authorities on business manage
ment, according to A. G. Oster-
meyer, of Ostermeyer Paper COM
pany, 149 Virginia avenue, are of
one accord that colds cause a
greater loss to industry than any
other one thing. Colds are re-
sponsible for more absence and
low efficiency among employees than
any other condition.
Investigation of groups of en-
ployes disclosed that out of every
one hundred workers there were
forty-one absences each year due
to colds. Hundreds of millions OF
dollars could be saved by reducing
the worlds colds by even one third
While science has not been able
to isolate the cold germ, it knows
that at least 80 per cent of the
colds, flu, sore throat and similar
diseases enter the body through the
mouth. Because of this, there is
little doubt that millions of dollars
would be saved by eliminating the
common drinking glass in offices

MOTOR UPKEEP
DATES SLIP BY
Service Motor Inn Offers
Monthly TaIIies.

The Ole adage that time flies is
one that the motorist can consider
in connection with motor car up
keep, according to officials of the
Service Motor Inn, 100 South Capt.
toll avenue.
Ordinarily, forgetting how fast
the time goes, the average motorist
attempts to remember all the de-
tails of the proper systematic
check of vital points of his car. The
results frequently are neglect and
abuse beyond repair.
One way to keep track of dates
when these things should be looked
after is to write them down and
follow the schedule closely.
A better way is to drive your car
into the Service Motor Inn and
leave it while shopping, at least
once a month. There, skilled at
PENDANTS, who know what should
be done, will give it the proper at
tention. Savings on upkeep will be
surprising.
The Service Motor Inn maintains
complete lone stop" service sta
ton. This includes washing, stor-
age, greasing, tire service, battery
service, accessories, wrecking service,
brake service, ignition and carbu-
rotor service, available twenty-four
hours a day.

APPEARANCE OF
HOME IMPROVED
BY RIGHT ROOF
Item Too Often Neglected
by Builders, Asserts
J. C. MattingIy.

Too often home builders neglect
the Importance of giving a new
dwelling a roof in keeping with the
remainder of the house, Joseph G.
Mattingly, president of the Henry
c. Smither Roofing Company, 430
South Meridian street, said today.
Much of the character of any
dwelling is in the roof, and from
the standpoint of beauty, roofing
tiles have every advantage, he said.
The roof never escapes observation,
and it is, wise to select a material
which adds charm and distinction
to the home, making a pleasing
impression upon even the most
casual observer.
Tiles Are Favored
Almost from the time our print
tive ancestors discarded the In
efectual protection of roofs of
leafy boughs, tiles have been the
worlds most favored roofing ma
terial. Tiles, or sun-baked plates
of beaten clay, were used for roof
ing in Egypt, Babylon and AsSyria,
and later by the Greeks and
Romans. China and Japan also
have used tiles for countless CEN
turtles.
Introduction of roofing tiles into
this country is credited to the old
Spanish padres, who brought the
knowledge of tile-making to the
Pacific coast about the middle of
the eighteenth century. While the
early forms were crude and rough,
the old missions and houses on
which they were used today are
among the most interesting sights
in Southern California.
Imperial vitreous shale tile roof
ing endows a dwelling with beauty
and character that is beyond ex-
pectations," Mattingly said. "Once
properly applied, it affords endur-
ing and absolute protection from
the elements, being unaffected by
climatic changes, and is fireproof."
1.-THE Henry G. Smither Company
gladly will furnish any one inter-
ested with a list of tile roofs laid
by the firm in localities most con-
venient for inspection, and to offer
advice and assistance to any one
contemplating building new home
or building, or planning to re-roof
their present home or building"

ORDERING COAL
IN ADVANCE OF
NEED is URGED
More Time Permits Better
Service to Customer,
Coal Club Says.

Ordering coal at least day or
two ahead of actual need, to assure
satisfactory service, today was urged
by members of the Retail Coal Club,
Inc. of Indianapolis, 217 Medical
Arts building.
Customers who order coal ahead
of their immediate needs receive
better prepared coal and much bet
ter attention at the home, it was
pointed out.
Immediate delivery orders many
times work a hardship upon the
men making deliveries, as it means
they must be out in all kinds of
weather, and it also increases the
cost of doing business because Of
necessity Of maintaining extra
equipment for special delivery"
this extra cost frequently being rep
resented in the cost of coal to the
consumer.
Sudden cold snaps usually re-
suit in some dealers having as
many as 500 orders for immediate
delivery in one day. This requires
employment of many extra delivery
men who are paid by the ton, in
stead of by the day, as are regular
delivery men, and consequently
service is not as good as the dealer
would wish.
On a recent Saturday dealers re-
ceived numerous orders as late as
6 p. m. for delivery that night. A
checkup of the coal bin and order
ing a few days before the supply is
exhausted will relieve coal dealers
Of a great burden, it was said.
The Retail Coal Club is composed
of about seventy-f1ve coal dealers,
representing approximately one
half Of the coal dealers in the city.
Purposes of the club are to place
the coal business on satisfactory
basis for both coal users and
dealers. One of it's principal ten
ents is the delivery of the exact
kind of coal the customer has
ordered.

DistillatiOn Only Method
MS41ing Purity of Water
Boiling Leaves Residue of
Foreign Matter in
Liquid.

Distillation of water, properly
performed, is the only method by
which water can be rendered free
of all impurities, according to j.
L. Schmidt, manager of the Aquos
Products Company, 1923 East Tenth
street, producers of distilled water.
Many people who realize danger
of using impure water, boil it, but,
aside from destroying some of the
disease germs, eliminating some
gases and depositing portion of
the carbonate of lime, always make
it more impure, Schmidt said.
1t is the water which is evapo-
rated, passing off as steam, that is
nearly pure, not the remains, which
contain practically the same OBJ
jectionable content in smaller
amount of water.
Scientific investigation has proved
he said, that boiling kills only the
feeblest and least injurious germs.
The Aquos Products Company,
1928 East Tenth street, has been
producing, for number of years,
distilled water that is completely
purified and free from organic and
mineral matter, and all bacteria.
A simple test to determine purity
of water is to place a few drops of
silver nitrate in the water. If a
cloudy, milky appearance follows,
chlorides are present. Chlorides,
Schmidt said, are foreign proper
ties, as far as pure content of dis
titled water is concerned.
Most Indianapolis hospitals use
distilled water manufactured by the
Aquos company.
Pure water hardly Is second to
pure air as a life-giving and a
life-preserving agent. A telephone
call to Cherry 5753 will bring bot
tie Of safe Aquos distilled water to
the home or Office.

WATER COLOR PLATES
 SHOWN AT INSTITUTE
100 On Display in Exhibit Which Will Be Continued Until
 November 21.

The French water color plates which were ordered by the New Britain Institute last spring have arrived and are now on display in the museum. There are 100 original plates portraying the provincial cos tunes from the l5th to the 18th cen- tury.
 Mile. Elizabeth AIoffat and Mile. Gratlanc De Gardilanne, the French artists, compiled the material and painted the plates. The costumes, dating from the time when France was composed of separate provinces up to the 18th century show the in tiuence Of outside nations, the Irish, Persian. Scotch. Dutch, Spanish even to the two Americas. The paintings arc worth seeing for the faces on the figures, some of which seem to be caught at lifes crucial moments. The colors are gay and splaShing.
 The exhibition was opened last Friday and will run until November 27 when there will be another dis play. The museum is open from 3:30 every afternoon until at night. Armando D'Agostino, head of the New Britain Art school, is in charge of the exhibit.
