Water No Terror
for This Haynes
"The offer of the Haynes Automobile
company to trade one of Its new 'Light
Twelve' automobiles In even exchange for
the oldest car that Is running at the
present time Is revealing some Interest
ing features In the histories of a number
of motor ears," said Charles Oole, man
ager of the Nebraska Haynes Auto Pales
company, distributor for the Haynes
"Ught d."
"The average owner uses a ear for
three years and then replaces It with a
more modern type. Bold onoe, the adven
tures and wanderings of a soundly built
motor car have Just begun and nothing
abort of a professional soothsayer could
approach foretelling the future. One of
the most unique tetters that the Haynes
company has received came from an Ohio
owner, who bought his car second-hand,
but has kept It In his possession for more
than ten years.
"In the year of 191 1 water stood three
feet deep ever the top of the car for
nearly ten days and when the rains
finally ceased, the mud-covered machine
looked aa though It would not be wortlt
cleaning up. The owner refused to Junk
tha ear, and since that time It has run
thousands of miles ever rough river coun
try road a The car has become a cher
ished member of the household and pro
vision has been made In tha owner's will
that It will bear htm to his final resUng
place. 109 miles distant from his home.
Through th. owner's efforts and In
genuity, the car Is modern In the faoe
of Its rather antiquated appearance."

Interstate Man
Calls the Bluff of
a Skeptio Buyer
fulling a prospective buyer's bluff that
all automnhllo advertising and aales ar
guments are void of anything that
would, create a desire to buy a ear. was
done In a unique wey by B. W. Twy
man, general manager of the inter-Btate
Motor company, during an argument the
other day with a "show me" prospect.
Mir. Twyman suggested to the prospect
that he write down a list of questions,
which If answered by Inter-State owners,
would give the "halty" buyer convincing
reason why ho should buy a ear.
There were no stipulations put on the
questions. Mr. Twyman guaranteed that
he would send a list of the questions to
all Inter-Ptate owners, to whom he had
sccess.
The result of the prospect's Investiga
tion among the Inter-State owners not
only sold him a car. hut surprised Mr.
Twyman and every niemuer of the Inter
Plate Motor company. From the replies
received, the average cost of repairs,
baaed on a mileage of 3.(V miles, was
12. 4 J. This avers ge was not based on re
pair parts repUred direct from the fac
tory, as some. In estlgstlona sho'V, but
Included Rarsge charges, wrecks snd spe
cial work.
Sixty-three per rent of the owner
heard from reported absolutely no money
expended for repairs. Heventy-two per
cent reported that their repair bills had
not exceeded $1. The Investigation fur
ther showed that the average mileage
on one gallon of gasoline was 17.1 miles
tinder all kinds of driving conditions. A
large number averaged better than
twenty miles to the gallon.
A remarkable feature of the whole In
vestigation, snd one which pleased the
Inter-rltate Motor company, wae the re
port from 110 per cent that their over
head valve motor had ample power under
all conditions; that their Inter-Rtate was
exceedingly comfortable, and that every
body who had seen the car considered
It very good looking.
A portion of this Investigation Is on
exhibition at the Inter-Rtate booth and

Just as coal, when It burns, leaves be
hind a certain amount of Incombustible
material In the form of ashes, so the
foou and drink taken day after day
leaves In the alimentary canal a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
If not completely eliminated from the
system each day, bacomes food for ths
millions of bacteria which Infest the
bowels. From this mass of loft-over
waste, toxins and ptomalno-llke poisons
are formed and sucked Into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feeling
light must begin to take instdo baths.
Before eating breakfast each morning
drink a glass of real hot water with a I
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it
to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels
the previous day's accumulation of pois
ons and toxins and to keep the entire
alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who ere subject to sick hesd
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store, and begirt practicing Internal
sanitation. This will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone an en
thusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing Is more Im
portant than outside bathing, because
the skin pores do not absorb impurities
Into the blood, causing poor health, while
the bowel pores do. Just as soap and
hot water cleanses, sweetens and fresh
ens toe skin, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels Advertisement.
