I SULPHUR IS BEST j I TO CLEAR UP UGLY, I j BROKEN OUT SKIN j Any breaking out or skin irritation on face, neck or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, noth ing has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irritation. Mentho-Sulphur.heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disfigurement. A little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur may be ob tained at any drug store. It is used like cold cream. liMII rl We can tell you all a'Bowt Balloon tires * you or yourself the im- portance of this great automotive de ' velopment—and its value to you.

The cords are thoroughly saturated with pure rubber. Be sides adding great strength and toughness, this process gives freedom from friction between cords and plies and prevents internal heat and resultant brittleness. Firestone Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords give ample fender clearance; do not increase gear ratio; do not change the speed of the car; do not cut down power; do not increase fuel con sumption; do not decrease tire milcage.
