' Many people ask what it cost to run an automo-;
f bile. We reproduce herewith a letter from Mr. .W.' B.
i Bach, which shows his total expense for a run of
; 8500, miles, Mr. Bach has kept an acurate account of
j; every item of expense and the figures in his letter
' are all taken from his books. The item for which he
! mentions tires are for extra inner tubes, as the tires '
on Mr. Bach's machine, as well as, all tires on" all
Fords sold during the season 1909, are the tires that '
1 were on the car at the" time it left the factory:

sidewalks was added to the already
large list of serious injuries from
that source when late yesterday afr

Glllllan fell, striking on a sharp cor
ner of the porch, breaking two ribs
and injuring his shoulder more or
less severely: He had called at the
home of a neighbor and on leaving
'again, slipped pn the stoop with
great force., His injuries were dres
sed by Dr. Molitor who affirms that
perhapB two weeks will be necessary
to heal the hurt sufficiently to per
mit the doctor to leave his home
again. The shoulder was quite bad
ly' wrenched by the fall.'

treat hi the program for Tuesdcy,

Did you know that placing your re
liance up a warranty deed Is simply
bidding for a lawsuit! -
! In California this fact is so well
understood that a warranty deed Is
looked upon with suspicion.

If the title' is good it passes with
the deed, and that It all there is' to
It no need of a' warranty. If bad,
the adding of a wanauiy does not
make It good.
A warranty is only a sort of bet
a wager that you will have no trou

out, 111 pay your money back.
A better plan Is to require an ab
