HOOSIER STATE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION KEEPS “TRAIL BLAZER” BUSY ON ROADS

Indianapolis, Ind.—"Hurrah!” says the motorist —“Look at the road sign and pole marking work being done by the Hoosier State Automobile Association." Twenty-nine cross state highways they have organized and marked during the past two years, and now a man and road posting car from headquarters at the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis, Is being sent over these roads to fftiish marking a few unmarked sections and see that all turns are well marked along the routes from terminal to terminal. To supplement the pole marking work and the ten thousand metal signs and various special wood signs put up by the Motor Clubs in the H. S. A. A., a guide posting law was fostered by the Automobile Association, as a result of which the state is making high grade steel signs now at Michigan City and supplying to the counties at cost. The heavy steel sign, giving mileage and shown in the foreground of the above picture, is a sample of the work being done by the state. These signs can be read easily at night as well as in daytime on account of the drilled in aluminum finished letters. County commissioners can have a survey of their county made free of charge by request to E. J. Fogarty, Warden of the Michigan City State prison. These signs are to be paid for out of the automobile license fees and citizens generally should urge their county commissioners to buy these signs NOW, because all auto license fees go to dhe State Highway Commission fund after January 1, 1920.

COULD BUY HOME WITH THE MONEY

Mrs. Wells Could Find Nothing to Help Her—ls in Better Health Now Than in 25 Years. “Since taking Tanlhc I aim in better health than I have been for 25 years,’’ said Mrs. B. Wells, who lives at 1126 Tenth street, Beloit, Wis., and who is at present visiting at 1163 Fifth street, Milwaukee, the other day. “I will certainly praise Tanlac the rest of my days,” continued Mrs. Wells, “for I honestly believe I would have been in my grave in a short while if I had not gotten hold of it. Why, I have spent enough money for treatment and medicine to buy a nice home, but instead of getting any relief, I just gradually got worse all the time. My stomach was in such terrible condition that I was afraid to eat anything on account of the awful suffering I would have to undergo afterwards. In fact I had reached the point where a cup *of coffee and perhaps a cracker was about all I could eat, and even that would often cause me to suffer from indigestion and gas. I was nervous and hardly ever got a good night’s and just kept going down hill until I Only weighed 97 pounds. I was very blue over my condition for I really thought that nothing would ever do ine any good. “My family thought that a change might help me, so I came here to Milwaukee to stay a few weeks. Just as soon as I landed here, my brother-in-law told me about Tanlab and the great good it had done him, and I began taking Tanlac that very night. In a few weeks time I was feeling like a different person, and now since taking three or four bottles of this

Large numbers of Detour signs shown in the above picture are being used by the Automobile Association to guide the traveling public around construction work. The Jackson Highway and Michigan road markers shown on the pole back of the road posting car give a good illustration of the tyi»e of pole marking work done for the association by Perry Lewis, who is to be seen in the car. The other special signs shown in the picture are to be seen in large numbers around Indianapolis, and are put up by the Hoosier Motor Club, which is the parent organization in the Hoosier State Automobile Association ‘made up of clubs and individual members throughout the state of Indiana. The purposes of the Association are to encourage and foster legislation looking to the improvement of road and all motoring conditions and to prevent class legislation against the auto; to put up danger and direction signs and other markings to protect and guide the motorist; and in all ways serve the motorists as the state’s attorney serves the people. One of the important services rendered the automobile owner by the organization L, the installation at state headquarters of a reliable Touring Department, which keeps on file the latest data on road conditions everywhere. The Association is supported by membership dues of public spirited men entirely, and any member automatically becomes a member of the American Automobile Association and its nine hundred affiliated organizations throughout the U. S. The o£-

wonderful medicine I can eat three hearty meals every day and never suffer a particle afterwards. Why, I have actually gained 10 pounds already, and just feel fine all the time. I sleep lilfe a baby every night, and ifeel refreshed and well every morning. I am so happy over the great good Tanlac. has done ime that I just want to tell the whole world about it. Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.

AUTOMOBILES

Oct. 11, 1919. Dear Sir —Out of the mdre thana 9,000 Hudson Super-Sixes built and sold this year, tower 6,000 have been purchased by owners of earlier Hudson models. What greater tribute than this could be paid to that uniform and continuous satisfaction Hudson cars have given their owners for the past ten years? You ■will see more Hudsons on any city boulevard or stretch of country road than any other highgrade automobile. It is the choice of the businessman, the farmer, the rancher and the tourist. The reason for this universal popularity could only be the in> trinsio merit of the car itself, its superior performance, beauty, comfort, reliability and durability—the result of the patented motor to be obtained only in the Hudson. By the use of this exclusive principle of design Hudson engineers increased the power of the motor 72%, without any Increase in weight cr the sacrifice of simplicity. This is accomplished by the minimizing of destructive vibration. The results of th© greater endurance gained may be seen in the fact that the Hudson Super-Six has won more worth-while records than any other stock car. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK. Arrests for. drunkenness In Minneapolis in June (wet) numbered 807. In July (dry) the number was 132.
