BENNETT HERE
FOR ABBOTT GO.
He Will Establish Branch Of
fice in Atlanta to Handle the
Abbott-Detroit Cars.
A L. Bennett, of the Abbott Motor
Company of Detroit, is here and an
nounces the establishment in Atlanta
in the. Immediate future of the South
ern branch or distributing point of the
Abbott-Detroit ears.
Mr. .Bennett has just made a trip
throughout the entire South with a
view toward selecting the most logical,
point for the management of his com
pany's business in this territory. He
says that Atlanta has impressed him
more favorably, than any other city he
has visited.
Cp to the present time the Abbott
Company has never had a distributing
point South of Cincinnati, but Mr. Ben
nett states they are coming into this
section and expect to do a great busi
ness. They will have agencies in all
the principal Southern cities, but the
headquarters and main distributing
point will be Atlanta.
The Demons of the Swamp
are. mosquitoes. As they sting tin y put
deadly malaria germs in the blood.
Then follow the icy chills and the fires
of fever. The appetite flics and the
strength fails; also malaria often paves
the way for deadly typhoid. But Elec
tric Bitters kill and cast out the ma
laria germ.- from the blood: give you a
fine appetite and renew your strength.
"After long suffering." wrote William
ITetwell. of Lucama, N. • '., "three bot
tles drove all the malaria from my
system, and I've had good health ever
since." Best for all stomach, liver and
kidney Ills. 50 ets. at all druggists.
A danger signal! At last the
world is beginning to com

How They Measure
The Distance in a
Race of Aeroplanes
“It ha? always been a matter nf special
interest to land-lubbers as to hon dis
tance is judged in an aeroplane race.”
says H. C. Lower, of the aeronautic sup
plies department. Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, comment*
ing upon the recent race at St. Louis
between Antony .1 annus and James
Ward.
“Pylons are fixed at turns on the avia
tion field.” explained Mr. Lower, “and an
official known as an observer is sta
tioned at each pylon. As the machine
passes overhead, the observer tries to
get his line, of sight in a straight vertical
line. It might be surmised that the avia
tor could easily crib a yard or two. but
as a matter of fact in rounding corners,
be rarely flies high because of the time
lost in reaching an altitude It is com
paratively easy therefore for the ob
server to see whether or not the aviator
travels on the wrong or the right side of
the pylon.”
Ward, who steered a Curtiss, machine
equipped with Goodyear tires .and fabric
in the rare with J annus, covered the lif
teen-mile course in thirteen minutes one
half seconds. The distance will be offi
cially surveyed by the Aero club of St.
Louis.
There never was a time when people
appreciated the real merits of Cham
berlain's t’otigh Remedy more than
now. This is shown by the increase
in sales and voluntary testimonials
from persons who have been cured by
it. If you or your children are troubled
with a cough or cold, give it a trial and
become acquainted with its good quali
fies. For sale by all dealers.

POTATOES BUY
FARMERSAUTDS
Crops in Maine and New Jer
sey Are Being Turned
Into Cars.
"Much has been said and written as to
the way farmers have taken to the au
tomobile during the pant few rears. The
purchasing of automobiles was taken as
the best sign of prosperity in the rural
districts, ' says F. ft Hump, assistant
general manager of the R-C-H Corpora
tion. "but it was not until last fall that
Aroostook. county. Maine, and the south
ern part of New Jersey gave evidence of
their prosperity by auto buying This
spring these districts are listed among
the best territories by sales departments
of auto factories.
"Potatoes are the cause The citizens
are literally turning their potatoes into
automobiles. Aroostook count.v js the
extreme northern division of Maine. Its
sandy soil does not impress one as being
especially good and. indeed, the residents
themselves had the same idea until re
cently. Last fall when the potato crop
tell short in many parts of the I'nited
States., Aroostook county was among the
exceptions.
"When it, became known that Aroostook
county was prepared to furnish the .coun
try with splendid potatoes, its fame grew
and the money fairly poured into the
pockets of the residents. Now they're
buying autos and wp received an order
from our dealer there recently asking that
three carloads of R-C-H ears be shipped
him before May 10-with others to follow .
"The circumstances are abbuctlic same
in southern New Jersey , only there it was
found that sweet potatoes were the bps*
producers and wealth returners."
Roger <'iab. the hermit aud.a.-trol
oger, almost solved the problem of how
to live without eating. About 1641 Im
began to restrict himself to a vegeta
rian diet, avoiding even butler and
cheese. From roots he got to a vege
tarian diet of broth thickened with
bran, and-pudding made of bran and
turnip leaves chopped together, and he
finally resorted to dock loaves and
grass. He drank nothing hut water, and
lived for nearly 40 years on three
farthings a week. He. died in London
in 16S0 ip his sixtieth y ear.
