Knoll Says Public Realizes Drop in Prices is Impossible.

"Th surprising demand for motor cars, an encouraging condition that prevails throughout the country, proves that the motoring public refuses to become confused over the price situation," says Charles Knoll, local agent for the Paige car. "Misled by certain confusing facts, there have been some who assumed that prices of most commodities were due for a drop all along the line," says Knoll. "People have pointed out to me that many reductions, have already been made. "An Investigation will disclose, I believe, that these reductions are of no significance and have no bearing on the general situation. These articles had been raised above the normal, or In other words, bore fictitious prices. The reductions made have simply lowered them in their competitive field, taking into consideration the standard price of labor. Soma Cut Made. "There have been a few apparent cuts in the price of automobiles. When the government last August and September put further restrictions on the production of motor cars, some concerns, knowing that the few, cars they were allowed to produce could be sold at almost any price, elected to lift them out of their competitive field by placing fictitious prices on them. After the armistice was signed they made reductions along in December, throwing off the fictitious prices and re-entering their competitive field. "The automobile industry, as a whole, purchased its materials In 1917 for 1918 production and purchased at considerably lower prices than it would have to pay In 1918. Government restrictions prevented the carrying out of the schedule. The result i3 that automobiles now being manufactured and which will be manufactured until next summer are, practically speaking, all from 1917 purchases."

When Benjamin Franklin flew his silken kite in a' storm and found he could "pet a spark" from the kev. he discovered electricity, says A. C. Kleinknecht. Today It is the greatest power known. Electricity plays such an im-

I portant part in the general make up

of all "sirthly things that it is hard to imagine hnw we could "get along" without 11. Foremost among the myriad of applications for which electricity is employed to lighten man's daily tasks is its use for lighting. Electric light is by far the safest, cleanest and brightest artificial light known, and today practically every home, business

house, church, hall, etc., within the zone of a central station uses electricity, not only for lighting but for any needs in which electrically operated appliances can be made to perform useful work. Yet farm and country

homes and villages outside the zone of central stations have not had these advantages. . For many years, engineers have ben working on the question of finding a means by which the rural population could be supplied with eloetrir

city regardless of location and now, with the perfection of the Genco light, I it is possible for every rural dweller, j farm and country home, village store, ! etc., to enjoy all the conveniences

provided in having electricity ready for use upon pressing a button or turning a switch. With electricity on tap for lights, the home is made brighter and move cheerful. The foul-smelling, smoky kerosene, light is a thing of the past,

.the continual dependence upon lan

terns for light in out-buildings or yard Is done away with. The dangers of fire which always go with the lamp or lantern are removed. Besides lighting, the Genco plant can be used in a thousand ways. It will run the vacuum cleaner, the washing machine, will heat the iron, run the sewing machine, a motor driven pump to supply fresh cool water, will do all dairy work and even milk. The horses and cattle can be cared for more easily, the wood can be sawed, with Genco drive saw, the tool house can be equipped for grinding sickle, plowshares, mowing knives, etc.

Tubesing Gives Tips On Care of Tires

"If you get a puncture, stop!" This is the earnest advice of Harry Tubesing, of the Gates Half Sole Tire company. , . 'Many drivers try to run a few blocks to the next garage on the rim," says Tubesing. "It i3 safe to say that this practice costs you several dollars per block for each block traveled. Stop at once, no matter how near you are to the repair station. The chance of pnetures will be greatly lessened if you keep your tires properly in

flated. j "A fabric rupture is just the same ' as the stone bruise you used to get on your foot when you were a boy. If left uncared for, it grows and grows until it becomes a serious injury to the tire. j "Quick starting and stopping, brak- j ing suddenly, letting your wheels run j ov.t of true, and running in ruts or j car tracks are other tire sins of which ! the enevitable wage is death to your j tire and a large bill for yourself."

OAKLAND TO OFFER TWO NEW DESIGNS

Featured by several timely and worth-while Improvements that make for increased utility and comfort, a new sedan and coupe have been mads the headliners of the Oakland Sensible Six line, according to O. H. Little, Richmond distributor of these cars. Both the sedan and the coupe, for

example, are now equipped with heat- i ers, which utilize the heat from the I exhaust pipe and radiate pure, clean, i warm air on the coldest of winter i lays and when the winds of spring j and fall are raw and chill. In using this unobstruslve heater, which is readily shut off in warm ! weather, excellent ventilation can be : had by opening the windshield and one of the door windows sufficiently to i permit a continual circulation of fresh i air through the car. v j The body construction of the sedan j nnd the coupe also has been changed, j solid center-posts having replaced the i removable supports used in former

Oakland models. "No radical changes have been made In the chassis of the Oakland for the present year," said Little, in commenting on the 1919 line, "the Oakland engineers being convinced that there was no need for altering the basic dasign of these efficient andeconomical automobiles." "

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, j fiex, color or rank. If not the most j dangerous of human afflictions, it is i one of the most painful. Those sub- j ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, j avoid any undue exposure and, above j all, drink lots cf pure water. I Rheumatism is caused by uric acid ' which is generated in the bowels and j absorbed into the blood. It is the func-1 tion of the kidneys to filter this acid ' fronf the blood and cast it out in the !

urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which

keeps accumulating and circulating '

j through the system, eventually settling j

in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism, j At the first twinge of rheumatism! get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon-j ful in a glass of water and drink be- j fore breakfast each morning for a I week. This is said to eliminate uric j acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor- j mal action, thus ridding the blood of : these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes ! and lemon juice, combined with lithia ' and is used with excellent results by j thousands of folks who are subject j to rheumatism. Here you have a ; pleasant, effervescent lithia-water , drink which overcomes uric acid and i is beneficial to your kidneys as well, i Adv. I J
