TWO STATE CAPITALS GO DRY

Saloons Onsted From Springfield, 111., and Madison, Chicago, April 4. —Approximate! ly 400 saloons in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota will be put out of business as a result of the “wet” and “dry” elections yesterday. Three important cities—Springfield, the capital of Illinois; Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota, voted to banish the saloon. In addition a number of smaller cities and villages decided to go into the “dry’’ column. In Springfield the women carried the day for the Anti-Saloon League, casting a majority of 2,335 against saloons, while the men gave the saloons a majority of 1,887, in a total vote of 21,124. Three years ago, at the last contest between the “wet” and the “dry” forces, the women of Spring-, field gave a majority of 278 for the saloon.

586.8 Miles ■ \ ... ■ ' \ . v . * ; “';S '■ ■• .. ■ . ■ ■ „>. '■■ —" . ; Through the Heart of Chicago in 24 Hours A Typical Chalmers Performance

At 12 noon, Monday, March 26, a stock Chalmers seven-passenger touring car with first and second gears removed, was started north on Michigan Boulevard through Chicago traffic. At noon Tuesday, March 27, the Chalmers was stopped at the starting point. It had gone 586.8 miles through Chicago’s densest traffic. The motor had never been stopped. Nothing but high gear was used. To prove conclusively Chalmers flexibility on high gear,* the low and intermediate gears were removed from the transmission. The car was a standard Chalmers seven-passenger touring model, complete with standard body, top and full equipment. The same model you can buy today.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the Chalmers seven-passenger car above mentioned was a fully equipped stock car. It was driven for 24 hours through Chicago traffic. Only high gear was used. The motor was never stopped during the run. The mileage obtained was 586.8 miles. The gasoline consumption was an average of slightly over 14 miles per gallon. ■ Chairman Contest Board, American Automobile

and many of the highest-priced and highest-powered American cars. Wins Pike’s Peak Climb August 11, 1916, a Chalmers carried off first honors m thp 230 cubic inch class on the terrific grades of Pike’s Peak in Colorado. Its time was within a few seconds of much higherpowered, and specially built machines. Detroit to Indianapolis On June 12,1916, the Chalmers set a new record over the roads between Detroit and Indianapolis, 305 miles, making the trip in eight hours, 23 minutes.

An average of slightly over 14 miles per gallon of gasoline was attained, an excellent example of Chalmers economy. 586.8 miles, through the famous congested Chicago ‘ loop” district, is a wonderful feat. This performance on high gear is even more wonderful. It is without an equal. It is an endorsement of the motor. It proves Chalmers reliability. It demonstrates Chalmers cooling. It shows Chalmers flexibility and perfect control. It is a new achievement.

The majority of the forty-one- who pleaded guilty on March 21 are at liberty on their own recognizances, Most of those in court today have given bonds. After Special United States District Attorney Frank C. Dailey had detailed the government’s case against the accused, the forty were allowed to make any statement or explanation to the court they desired this afternoon. Many of them told of their activities in connection with the -election and some sought to excuse their actions. Some said they were thoughtless, and others asserted they acted through ignorance? A few protested their innocence, despite their pleas of guilty,. The court took no action on the recommendation of the government that no sentences to federal prisons be given. x

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normals condition, hearing will he destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
