system functioning as it should.
You needn't hesitate to give them
to children or old folks either.
Cascarets always act, and they
always act the same way; gentle
but thorough. They don't stir up
the stomach or upset the system,
but they cleanse the entire thirty
feet of bowels in one comfortable,
thorough action that leaves the
system sweet and clean. You'll
wake up feeling like a new per-
son; tongue uncoated, breath
sweetened, eyes bright, appetite
on edge, life worth living again |
Take a delicious, candy
Cascaret the next time you have
that sluggish feeling-or give
them to the children when they
are out of sorts. Full medical
endorsement proves the principle
of Cascarets is right.

tails, for in a new project the study
is being made interesting.
With the aim of making coun-
tries realities and not merely
dreamed of, far away lands, the
class just has completed a compre-
henSive study of Asia. The class
was divided into groups, each group
being responsible for one section
of the country and for an outline
Of points of interest there. Charts
were used to record results and each
group prepared an examination for
the rest of the class covering their
particular district.
Reading of interesting books
concerning the people in the
country also is a part of the
project. Each group also made ex-
hibitS of products and features OF
the country. In this way numer-
Gus interesting and instructive dis
plays were completed including
soap carvings, pictures, maps, dolls
dressed in costumes of different
peoples, and table demonstrations
of land topography, built with
sand.
Several of the groups visited the
ChildrenS' Museum of Indianapolis
in search of information on various
countries, and did other work that
would not have been possible
through the regular way of teach
ing. Miss Edith Shirley, teacher,
planned and directed the system.

CHALLENGER WEEK TESTS
PROVE SUCCESS OF ESSEX
Local HudsOn-Essex Dealers
Make Speed and Hill Climbing
Tests Yesterday Afternoon

So successful was Essex Challenge
Week, March 4th to 18th, that the
Hudson Motor car company has de-
cied to extend the program for
month, using the slogan Essex Chal-
lenge and Demonstration Month"
Record breaking performances
from coast to coast and from Can
ada to the Gulf marked Challenge
Week. Speed in excess of 70 miles
an hour was shown in every section
of the country excepting where deep
snow drifts completely blocked traffic.
Endurance tests revealed better
than so miles an hour for "a hours;
hill climbing tests saw Essex annex
cups offered for the speediest climbs
up Mt. Badly and Mt. Madonna. New
records were established in both
cases.
Kerins Brothers, local Hudson Es-
sex dealers, found themselves handi-
capped for a speed test owing to the
fact that all of their cars were en-
tirely new, but were fortunate in Sc
curing a car from one of their GUS
toners, and made the test which re-
vealed an average speed of 60 miles
per hour for nearly two miles.
The Messrs. Kerins did not desire
to abuse a new car running it at an
excessive speed and for that reason
were obliged to secure one which had
been run several hundred miles. They
feel confident that upon perfectly
level track a speed of more than 10
miles per hour could be obtained with
out much effort.
A hill climbing test proved to be
the outstanding feature for them dur
ing Essex Challenge week, and new
Essex coach, stock car, was used for
the test. The test was made on what
is locally known as Bush's hill and
the climb was achieved, starting at
the foot Of Wilson street and going to
the intersection of Pennington street,
at the John o. Thayer residence,
thence turning at a right angle and
negotiating the hill in high gear. A
speed varying between IA and rs
miles per hour was maintained, which
the Messrs. Kerins said was reyela-
ton to them as we'll as to the public
Due to the very rough street be-
tween Center and Pennington on Will
son, it was impossible to race the car
over that section and thus refuted
any chance of run for the real climb
"Noone need be afraid Of not pull
ling Big Savage or Cadet noun
tains," said Mr.. James Kerins, eff
the coach will pull Bush's hill under
such rough road conditions.
