COLE PIONEERS NEW SMS PLAN Proposes to Have Used Cars Handled Separately. The seriousness of the problem of handling used car trades, which has been largely responsible for unsettled conditions In the industry, has had new light shed upon it by J. J. Cole, president of the Cole Motor Company, in meeting with other manufacturers and large dealers in Chicago during the automobile show this week. Cole, who announced sweeping price reductions, amounting in some Instances to SBOO, during the New York show, has advanced the plan of having the company’s distributors take no used cars on trades for new ones. He proposes to have the used car dealt with separately and to have distributors make their sales direct on a strictly cash basis. Cole, in proposing this proposition, champions the plan of having manufacturers so reduce the cost of their cars that the public will welcome the idea of paying less cash for anew car and having their old. car sold independently. He explains that the present plan of having a wider profit for the dealer to allow for losses on "trade-ins” has resulted in confusion and great loss to many dealers and believes the plan he is pioneering will have a stimulating effect on sales. Out of proposals submitted by the many manufacturers is expected to come a decision and plan of action that will be beneficial, both to the industry and the consumer. COUNCILMEN TO DISCUSS RULING IN POWER CASE City councilmen will hold a caucus Saturday to discuss ratification of an order of the public service commission permitting the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & .Eastern Traction Company to enter the commercial electric business in Indianapolis. The order will come up for vote of the council Monday night Ts the council does not pass the ordinance within thirty days the order will go into effect anyway. Taylor E. Groninger, city corporation counsel, said today he hoped the council would approve the order “to show that the city is behind the project." threlTdead from EATING POISON SOUP * Bu United Frets STREATOR, 111., Feb. 2. —Poison soup, it was believed today, caused the mysterious death of Archie White and his two sons.

Hopeless “Cough Victims” MONTHS, YEARS, ARE PASSED BY VICTIMS OF STUBBORN COLDS AND COUGHING EVERY EFFORT TO GET RELIEF FAILS MENTHO-LAXENE “Best Ever Sold for Cough and Cold”

Indianapolis Lady Makes Vivid Statement Endorsing Mentho-Laxene “Flu” Followed by Bronchitis Gentlemen—l have used the Mentbo Laxene for colds and coughs and found It to be very good. I had the “flu” and the cold had gone to my bronchial tubes and the doctors said I had bronchitis. I doctored with three doctors and they didn't seem to help me much, so I thought I would try your Mentlio-Lax-. ene and It has helped me more than anything I have ever used. Your Cadomene Tablets are fine as a tonic after a cold. I want to thank you so much for your book and your wonderful medicines. I will recommend them to all my friends. I am yours truly, lANA STANLEY. C 37 E. Minnesota St., Indianapolis, Ind. “You Cannot Imagine What It Means to a Person After Being a Victim So Many Years of Such a Dreadful Malady.” Thus Writes a Prominent Philadelphian, in a Heartfelt Moment of Joy. Mr. Edward J. Jaeger, 519 N. 10th St., Philadelphia. Pa., writes: “I am forwarding this letter to you to say that I received Dr. Baker's "Health and Beauty Book" and I express sincerely my gratitude for this most valuable little book, and also for the reealts of the use of Mentho-Laxene. I had suffered for many years with a stubborn cough ar.d frequent colds, and with all my efforts and the use of numerous prescriptions and remedies I couldn't ACCOMPLISH ANY RESULTS UNTIL I commenced taking Mentho-Laxene. which acted like a miracle. You cannot imagine what it means to a person after being a victim so many years of such a dreadful malady, and doctoring so long without success. You may use my name in testimony if yon desire, to give humanity the knowledge of your wonderful formula." Indianapolis Father Highly Recommends Mentho-Laxene, Says: “Best I Ever Took.” Dear Sirs—l am recommending essence Mentho-Laxene for coughs and colds, for I think that It is the best I ever took. Had a very bad cold and believe I had the grippe, for my head pained me and was sore and I had pains In my neck and chest. Tonsils were swollen as big as marbles. I began to take the pure essence Mentho-Laxene. On the second day I diluted it with sugar and water and got better results. Took it six times a day and in just five days my cough was cured. Also it cured my daughter's cold. I will recommend Mentho-Laxene to everybody I can. With best wishes. I am, GEORGE ROWALD, 2708 Southeastern Are., Indianapolis, Ind.

When we appeal to the "hopeless cough-victim” we do not include those whose cases have been ascertained to be "tubercular.” But we believe there are thousands with so-called chronic bronchial disturbances who can be saved great misery and suffering, who have not reached the tubercular stage. Grateful letters from chronic sufferers indicate plainly that there is no cough and cold medicine on the market, equal in efficacy to Mentho-Laxene. nor is there any that can be used so cheaply, for it is put up in concentrated form (600% stronger than ready-mixed cough syrup) and anyone can make simple sugar syrup to make up a full pint of the finest, most pleasant effective, laxative, system cleansing cough medicine In the wide, wide world; or, the pure essence may be taken in small doses, as per directions. It is the cleansing, purifying action which brings results to the longstanding cases. Mentho-Laxene Has “Double Action” Mentho-Laxene first allays and stops the "cold inflammation,” loosens the phlegm secretions, clears the air passages, soothes and heals the inflamed mucus membranes and as it is laxative, tonic and antiseptic, it also purifies the system by process of elimination. The very first dose begins the good work and the patient can feel results right away. Most cases yield in from one to three days, but the treatment should be continued until all the system is thoroughly cleansed. Go to any well-stocked druggist, and get a bottle of Mentho-Laxene. Always have a supply on hand to be used at the first signs of a cough or cold. It saves you about $3.00, and it protects the health of children and adults from the ravages of a cold. Avoid misery by using it early. Millions of bottles have already been sold and the demand is growing by leaps and bounds.
