Simmons, local agent for the Fuller Storage Battery company 1is the authority for the statement that no part of an automobile is subject to hardship and shows its éffect more than the battery.

Still another man will enter a storage battery station and although his bat- tery has gone /‘dead” he will claim that it has received the best of stten- tion and the guarantee has not been lived up. to.—advt FAVOR FOOD AND FUEL CONTROL Chicago, May 12.—The state coun- cil of defense composed of sixteen of the most prominent business and professional men of Illinols, today adopted resolutions urging congress to enact at once as a measure of the utmost necessity. a law creating a commission for the absolute control of foodstuffs, fuel, and other basic commodities.
