DECATUR DRUGGISTS SECURE STOCKS OF OLSONITE. In spite of the shortage of drugs and chemicals, local druggists have been able to secure stocks of olsonite and you need not go without this scientific color restorer for rugs and carpets. Since olsonite was announc; ed in the Ladies’. Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, Pictorial Review and other leading women’s publications, the demand is increasing. Olsonite does such wonderful work and is so easy to use that it made an instantaneous hit. All you do is brush it over the surface of carpets and rugs while they are on the floor, then wipe pff and the colors are restored to their original beauty and brightness. It also preserves the fibres and raises the nap. It is said that it will double the life of rugs and carpets and keep them bright and fresh looking until worn threadbare. Olsonite is sold in air-tight containers at 50c each, sufficient to restore colors to rugs or carpets in two ordinary rooms. o CRUISER IS ASHORE.

BARNEY TO STAGE FAREWELL RACE Jx Uk BBMMRMMiFBirTr—■■ V. ® Ab Pl, ww’ _a__ d ack * n 1902 tw ° ' Tfcabr D men started to fame; !• : ord and Barney Oldfield. Ford was trying to build a fVy with him trying to build ‘ a career as a race X driver. The answer is 4M. ' JF obvious. ' W J*? Burney Oldfield is going to drive a Delage EgF? v car at the Sixth Annual ®-.▼ Jg . International Sweep- ?>' stakes Race, May 30th. This Oldfield’s last - Ap,-. r -“'e, hlZs? pearance, and Oldfield Barney proposes unequivocally to win and crown his 11 I y w, 'iMi racing career with what UTo B * s considered the highest VTlelafeP ® achievement in automo- . I bile racing. The Delage ■» - ■* car that Barney Oldfield will drive is reputed to be one of the finest specimens of automobile construction in the world. It was one Os the French cars built for the Grand Prix in Europe in 1914. It has a block type motor, with valves in the head, with a bore and stroke, of 3.70x6.30, and a cubic inch piston displacement of 271.8. Lubrication is by force and splash. Barney finished third with this car at Elgin last year in the C. A. C. Cup Race. He also entered this car at Sheepshead Bay, New York Speedway, last year, but was forced out at the end of sixteen miles with a broken piston and connecting rod. The name “Oldfield” and automobiles are synonymous. Barney is also bringing from Los Angeles to Indianapolis his front drive Christie car. However, there is no belief that this car will be in the race, but one can never tell what Barney has up his sleeve. One of Barney’s favorite publicity getters is his invariable stogie, which he wears in his mouth unlighted. His friends say they can tell just how Barney feels by the angle this stogie rests between his teeth.
