research, and was indicative of her
splendid capabilities.

White Man With Black Liver.
The liver is a blood purifier. It was'
thought at one time it was the scat of
the passions. The trouble with most
people is that their liver becomes black
because of impurities in the blood due
to bud physical state, causing bilious
ness, headache, dizziness and constipa- I
tion. Dr. King's New Life Fills will
clean up the liver, and give you new
life. 25c at your drjggist’s.
TURIN.
War is certainly a terrible thing nnd
should be discouraged by every means
possible. If ambitious rulers would
show some common sense differences
between nations, as between individ
uals, could be adjusted without re
sort. to arms. The war that is now af
flicting the world is void of any merit
or honest grievance, yet poor soldiers
and innocent non-combatants are pay
ing the price with their lives and the
sacrifice of their property. Rulers of
nations seem to place small value upon
the lives of their subjects. We trust
the United Slates will be spared the
horrors of a bloody strife such as that
now terrifying the greater part of the
Old World. The Good Book says,
“Better suffer wrong than to do
wrong. ”

Maxwell
Wins Test Over Forty Cars
Result of the great Yale University Sheffield Scientific School Test.
Of the forty automobiles tested at the famous Sheffield Scientific
School laboratory the Maxwell stands first in economy of gasoline.

Gentlemen;
I am enclosing report of test of your Maxwell automobile recently made in our laboratory.
I should like to add the following comments:
1. RELIABILITY OF TEST.
A preliminary test was made on April 19, using a new car which was rather stiff. The showing was
so good that we decided to make a second test. This was made on April 30, using same car. On this test
the car showed less stiffness and the performance was better than on the first car. The first test was su
pervised by our most careful experts, and the results I believe to be perfectly reliable.
2. MILEAGE.
The efficiency of the Maxwell automobile as indicated by the number of miles on a level road, is ex
ceptionally high. This mileage record is better than that of any one of forty automobiles tested in our
laboratory to date.
3. MOTOR PERFORMANCE.
The efficiency of the motor and carburetor as indicated by the pounds of gasoline used per hour per
horse-power at rear tires is exceedingly good, and indicates very perfect carburetor action over the whole
range of speed and load. This record, like that on mileage per gallon, is the best one that we have had.
Verv truly vours, '
E. H. LOCKWOOD,
Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering.
