OLD OFFICERS AND LONG RIDE
Untimely Death l Gnntl Pied
Grant Ancribed to Army En
durance TVatt.
By an implication so clear as to be little
less. than an accusation, the New York
Medical, Record ascribes the untimely
death from "heart failure" of General
FrfdericlC D. Grant te the strain imposed
upfln Wm as well as other army officers
approaching the retirement age by the
endurance riding tets to which they are
all annualiy subjected.
That it 4s well for army officers to be
able to take long ride on horseback no
body denies; It is perhaps well that the
unavowed but not conoeaied object of
these tests to make way for the pro
motion of young officers by influencing
the old ones to retire betimes should be
attained. Certainly it Is not well, how-

work formerly done by men on, horseback

prowess always was the qualification fjr
competent military leadership, and it Is
more so now than ever before. The rela

not a simple question, for the age of
each class has its merits and its demerits,
but experience doe3 still count for much,
and ,it is not without reason that all of
us hope and most of US believe that thr
is a close relation between length of years
and some of the best forms of wisdom.

"The Best
uilt Car in
America0
To Car Owners
What is your operating' costsay;
for tires? 2 cents or 20 cents for"
every mile your car travels?
The answer depends more upon the
name-plate of your car than the
make of tire. "The Best Built Car
in America" contributes more in
"life" to a given make of tire than
any other car.
The reason is simple. It is the
LIGHTEST at 57 pounds per horse
power, and the most perfectly
"balanced."
