In the Kansas City-Omaha run, to Mart
from Kan.ua City tomorrow, will b a
lar(te list of entries representing practi
cally every automobile. It Is safe to ay
that all will watch with Interest the per
formance of one car, that of the "(Jlea
on." built by the KannaiTCity Vehicle
company, at Kansas City, Mo. This car la
pecially adapted to and designed for use
on all kinds of roads such as are found In
the west. The Uleason la not a motor
buggy, but A motor car built to meet road
conditions as they usually are. It will
will be the only car of this type ever
entered In an endurance run. In general
design the Uleason differs but slightly
from the standard make of automobiles.
Medium height wheels giving high clear
ance, special two-Inch beaded tread solid
tires, the best twenty horsepower motor
built, extra heavy back driving gear, full
magneto equipment, fimt peed forward
so geared to enable the car to negotiate
any road that a horse-drawn vehicle can.
An economy test of the kind that ap
peals strongly to the owner was that
which figured as a part of the annual
endurance run held at Minneapolis recently.
The run u to Duluih and buck and
every ounce of gasoline, oil and water
put Into the contesting cars was meas
ured and records of tho supplies kept.
The cars were also weighed with their pas
sengers In and in this way It was possible
to obtain accurate comparisons of the ton
mileage of each car. Many one-gallon
tests have been held during the year, but
In almoBt all of these the fuel supply has
been limited to one gallon of gasoline and
even more important the course over
which they have been held invariably have
been paved streets or good country roads.
On the Mlnneapolia-Duluth run, however,
the driver of a car could take on a much
gasoline as he pleased, but the amount
counted in his final score. And the roads
experienced drivers say it .will scarcely be
possible to find worse ones In the country.
In some places it was necessary to use
the power of the motor in descending
grades, so heavy was the sand. The route
included over forty miles of corduroy
roads. At Its best it presented actual road

Treatment.
Bo many cases of epilepsy have been
cured by the wonderful new treatment
of the United Doctors, who" have their
Omaha Institute on the Beconii floor of
the Neville Block, corner lflth and Har
ney streets, that these cures are now
taken as a matter of course by the yeo
plo In general, who have ceased to be
surprised by any cures made by thee
master medical specialists, even in the
worst cases. But these cases continue
to excite much Interest among the doc
tors as they point to a coming revolu
tion in medicine. They prove that the
old method of treating symptoms must
soon be abandoned and the doctor of the
future must study deeper and treat the
cause of the disease, for only by remov
ing the cause of a disease can a real cure
be made.
The following letter tells of another
case of epilepsy successfully treated by
the United Doctors' new system of med
lciue.
Danville, 111., Aug. 29. '09.
I desire to add my testimony to that
of others in this community as to the
worth and real value of treatment of
chronic and apparently Incurable cases
that the United Doctors are accomplish
ing.
I have a little daughter only eighteen
months old who was most grlevlously
afflicted with epilepsy, having as many
as forty or fifty spells a day, aud nuth
lng had the slightest effect toward con
trolling them until I took her to the
United Doctors and after a talk with
them. They said they thought they could
practically control and, eventually, cure
her. I had them put her under treat
ment and to the great Joy of both myself
and wife their promise has been verified.
Those awful attacks which were slowly
killing our only little girt stopped almost
as If by magic
We cannot too strongly endorse their
wonderful success in our own Household
where the blight of disease had fallen
with a heavy hand, and what beemed to
us without hope. We would recommend
them as being absolutely trustworthy.

pany, comes out this season with many
new features. This Is a high-wheeled car
and has proven popular In the west.
Manager Rees of the International Har
vester company expects the International
1D10 models during the next week. This
car Is provided with high wheels and has
a strong hold upon the northern and west
ern sections of Nebraska and Iowa.
The Brush runabout, represented In
Omaha by the T. Q. Northwall company,
will be one of the popular small cars In
this section during the present season. The
Brush made a reputation for speed and
endurance in the 1909 Qlldden tour.
The Oakland is one of the cars which has
made good In Omaha In this section of the
west. The LlnjMiger Implement company is
distributing agent for the Oakland and

The new Cadlllao Thirty will retain its
present name !u spite of the fact that the
horsepower has been Increased Incorpo
rate larger engine, larger wheel base,
larger wheels, larger tonneau, more power.
Increased efficiency, larger tires, more
room, two new ignition systems and
greater hill climbing ability. The cylinder
bore of the 1910 engine is one-fourtb inch
greater than In the 1909 model, the dimen
sions now being four and one-fourth-lnoh
bore and four and one-half-lnch stroke.
The engine, with Its Increased slse, will
embody the same standardized construc
tion which brought the Dewar trophy
awarded at London, England. In the
Cadlllao Thirty for 1910 it is possible to
start the motor from the seat, on the mag
neto. The new car Incorporates two Igni
tion systems which are absolutely separate
and Independent and each complete In It
self. Either, without the aid of the other,
Is sufficient for starting and operating the
car. There are three changes in the con
structionlengthening the wheel base to
110 Inches and accordingly lengthening the
suspension between the axles by four
Inches, Increasing the size of the wheels
from thirty-two to thirty-four Inches and
Increasing the tires from 32x3V, Inches to
84x4 Inches. The tonneau will be much
more roomy. Had It been possible to

pany has delivered five carloads of Chalmers-Detroit
"80s" and are still Ihlrty-elf.ht
orders behind on retail sales, they having
not accepted any agency business as yet.

traordinary year.
One of the most beautiful limousines

E. A. Cudahy has also ordered a Pierce
limousine.
Manager Wlgman of Fredrlckson's said:
"The records of the factory's sales de
partment show that more than one-third
of the Chalmers-Detroit output for 1510 has
already been Bold to Individual customers,
and that the entire output of the factory
was contracted for by dealers before they
ever had a car ready. The factory is of
necessity exerting every effort in an at
tempt to catch up, and Is succe-ding ad
mirably under the circumstances. We are
getting our deliveries a promised, which
I understand Is the rase with the other
Chalmers-Detroit agents. Business pros
pects were never belter."
Denlse Barkalow, proprietor of the Elec
tric garage, announces that the Packard

and powerful pieces of machinery ever
produced by the Dayton people. These cars

carnival.
The big Stevens driven last week In
the Sioux City parade was in chare- r,t
Nelson, who has made a reputation for
driving that car.
He was a stout man and ran for about
all that he was worth to get out of the
way of a two-cylinder car. Then ha
brushed his brow and eald: "That would
have been tho most ridiculous Incident of
my life to have been run over by the
smallest car in Omaha."
Here la the way N'esman, the record
breaking automobile man, said it. Nesman
Is the man who drove the Stevens-Duryea
like a bullet at Ormond Beach. This was
the day that hands went up by the thou
sands and the thousands of throats gave
out that shout never to be forgotten by
the man who won the race: "Goodness, I
didn't know It. She went along like a
bird. I didn't have the goggles. The wind
was splitting my eyes, but you see the
dust gets on the glass and I'm Just afraid,
to tell the truth. I wouldn't wear "em.
Once I looked back and saw the fellows
coming. I moved up the spark and went
on. I kept the lead awhile then, and It
was no trouble. After that the fellows
began to give theirs speed-rpowerful speed.
I heard 'em coming. I Listened at my car.
She was moving smooth as a whistle. I
wasn't alarmed at all. I knew that she'd
treat me air and square If I was only
good to her. Just to humor her I said,
Hit It up now, sis' mind you, she was
doing some better than sixty now. I ran
my finger along the spark to the last.
Man, that car looked as If she was human.
I seemed to hear her say, plain as any
thing, 'Come on, I'm hard to follow,' and,
sir, she left the track a foot. She Just
doubled up like a Jack rabbit got a reg
ular hump In her back, and the engine
barked like a coyote coming. I said in my
thoughts, 'frald to speak, 'Well, If we go
down, we'll go down flying.' Then was
when the Vanderbllts and Ooulda and
them threw up their hats. They saw that
my car was Invincible and they told me so
afterward. Won? Well, I should say. Here's
my picture at the time. Ain't I Balling?"

northwesterly direction toward Frans Josef
Land, and thence southwestward to Cape
Farewell, the southerly apex of Greenland.
The other starts east of Point Barrow, and
runs northeasterly around and through
the American Arctic archipelago, part
of It coursing down the east coast of
Greenland and a part through Jones Sound
Into Baffin Bay. Though starting In op
posite directions, the currents flnully meet
at Cape Farewell, and then run south

To explain their deflection, from the pole
It was supposed that there was undiscov
ered land of about 4,000 square miles In
area at or near the center of tho polar
basin. Nansen's soundings showed depths
of more than 2,000 fathoms, proving that
the continental shelf of Asia and Europe
ended at or near the Islands now known.
New Siberia and Franz Josef Land mark
Its northern limits. We have some sound
ings on record of the sea north of Alaska,
which also Indicate oceanto depths, and
that the shelf of . the North American con
tinent in this direction is of no great
extent.
If the theoretic land of the Arctic
oceanographers does exist It might rise
from a submarine extension of the Green
land plateau, or it might he an Independ
ent polar continent Peary took three
soundings which tend to prove that the
submarine coastal plateau of North Amer

of Cape Columbia, while at and near the
pole tfle depths are truly oceanio. Cook
saw land west of his route, about midway
between the 84th and 86th parallels. Since
It did not seem to Interrupt the easterly
drift of the ice, however, It was not
probably, of great extent. Nearer the pole
and at the pole Itself Cook saw no Indi
cations of land. The smooth, glacier-like
surface which both explorers report to
have found near the 88th parallel will have
to be accounted for In some other way.

Giants to Guard Taft.
The safety of the president Is becoming a
very Important question. When President
Taft arrives in El Paso, Tex., while swing
ing that big circle of his this fall, he will
find It literally true that he will be pro
tected, by giants to the left of him and by
giants' to the right of him. The "big four"
who will compose this bodyguard are Q. E.
Fletcher, 6 feet i inches; C. H. Haynes, 6
feet 3Vi Inches; C. R. Tillman, 6 feet 4
Inches, and R. P. Parsons, 6 feet 4 Inches.
While El Paso Is to be congratulated for
the way it is going to protect the presi
dent, those who were students at Yale
when President Taft was an undergradu
ate anoT who saw that famous tug-ot-war
when "Big Bill" caught hold of one end
of the rope and "the rest came tagging
after," say that the president needs no
bodyguard. Leslie's Weekly.
