« Wear Proof Tread Tires GUARANTEED 10,000 MILES V 9 WEAR-PROOF TIRES arc of the famous ‘ Egypto” Rubber Construction-so tough and Wear Resisting as to be almost impregnable— thus practically wear proof. Heat— The Enemy of Tires 0 Don’t Be Misled * It has been conclusively proven that the heat in a tire is not caused by the friction of the road, but is gener­ ated by the incessant compression and expansion of the air within the tire as the car rolls over the road. This heat is retained by the rubber, because rubber is a non-radiating material. How different this is where WEARPROOF TREADS are used. The steel studs are constant heat radiating points, hardened steel being the best heat radiator known. Thus the steel studs are continually conducting the heat from within the tire. Equip your car with Wearproof Treads and you are virtually riding on air-cooled tires. Don’t confuse Wearproof Treads with the many infer­ ior and so-called "tire protectors” on the market, made of cheap chrome leather or some fibre substitute for rubber, that merely fit the tires to which they are ap­ plied until they become wet and water-soaked, making the "protector” loose and baggy, in which condition it will slip and creep on the tire, generating excessive heat and more often ruining your tires than protecting them. If you have used them, you know, and if you have not, just ask some one that has used some of those so-called "tire protectors” Tire can be seen at The Mail Office W. L. IN fHEIrt LAST LONG SLEEP Beautiful Spot in Which Have Been Laid American Soldiers Who Died in Liberty's Cause. On the wooded slope of a steep hill •hit rises high over a great beud in th River Seine lies a little plot of earth that is as much America as is the national cemetery at Arlington or the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. It Is a quiet and peaceful s|x>t. for al­ though Paris 1« near— the slender pin- nncle o f the Eiffel tower is I” plain slew over the trees— the city ft. «epn- rated from the American cemetery at Sumesries by the green expanse of the Bols de Boulogne. The heart of the city that Is the heart o f the world Is not five miles aw ay; yon would think it at least fifty. It Is a spot far removed from war. and yet there are enough o f the accoutrement« o f war about it to remind the visitor that the 700 graves here are the graves of sol­ diers— mostly o f so'dlers who died of their wounds on the journey In from the front or at one o f the hospitals in or ne; r the capital. Further up the elope frown the ramparts o f the fort o ' Mount Vnlerien. one in the chain o f defenses that surround Paris. Dur­ ing hostilities planes flew from field to field, the drone o f their motors never eo clear as in this quiet countryside. Aral more warlike still, an occasional cannon shot echoed from a testing ground in the neighborhood. The lit­ tle- cemetery Itself, with its well- aligned rows o f white wooden crosses, will some day he as green and fair a Ood’a acre as hiij - In France. It Is becoming so as fast as the loving hands of the living can convert It Into one.

The Russian station master O H - suited his watch. shrugge«l, and said “ Nllza,” which Is the Russian equiva­ lent for “ It can't be done.” He ex­ plained that the train was full and It was leaving time. Without further parley the general dispatched members o f his bodyguard to hold the train. One man clambered into the locom otive and covered the englneman with a revolver. Others mounted guard on the car platforms. Then the general ordered the sta- tionmaster to procure a car "qiil-qul." which Is Chinese for “ instantly with­ out uny back talk,” on pain o f very serious consequences to himself. Twenty minutes later the train pulled out with the Chinese general and Ills seven wives aboard In a spa­ cious private car. • Saloniki. The city o f Saloniki had In normal times a population o f about lflO.OOO to 170.000. Thi* has been increased to about 400.000 through the Influx of refugees from Serbia. Ku »esin Tur­ key, Bulgaria and that purl o f Greek Macedonia until recently In the hands o f Bulgaria. During the last few yesrs the character of the population has been steadily changing. The Greek element has more than doubled Itielf and at this time stands first In numbers. Turks, formerly the most numerous class, nre nilw third In rank nml are steadily deereasing. The Jewish population stands In second place and I* the most important com­ mercially. A mixture o f Rulgars, S< rhs and Rotimaniuns and Russians make up the remainder o f one o f the most heterogeneous populations In the world. Differences of race, religion and customs tend to make the com­ mercial developments of Saloniki slow. 1 , 716 , 000,000 Pounds of Flour Saved if each o f our 22,000,000 families use this recipe instead o f white bread.
