The Arab is about as successful in making ‘use of every part of the date tree as the American packer is of Ty part of the pig. The American ers loses nothing but the hat rk.

Much money was being ex- pended in irrigation projects, one en- terprise alone having been preparing to spend $130,000,000 for the irriga- tion of some 4,000,000 acres of land. Tt is estimated that there are 13,000,000 acres of land in be profitably make a - territory approximately the size of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. . LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT Take a glass of Salts to flush Kid- neys if Bladder bothers you —Drink lots of water. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish: clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back- ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri- tation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if blad- der bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast a few days Meso- | & It has| Arab does not even | ‘There is no fivmer believer in the health-giving possitibilities of the mo- tor car and in its value as an agency to prolong life than A. R. Erskine. ‘Tt may be difficult to say exactly how many years an automobile adds to a man's life,” he says, “but I should say that ten years is a fair estimate. There is no gainsaying that the possession of a motor car increases the number of years a man lives, especially if in ad- dition to owning the ca~ the owner drives it himself. For iat way he gets the fullest possible benefits in the way of health. “Of course,” says Mr. Erskine, “there is e certain amount of worry and nervous strain which the nowice must undergo in learing to drive his car and to handle it in any trafiic situation. However, after a week or two at the .wheel this nervousness wears off, and then the pleasures and benefits of driving begin to pile up. After the novice gets his bearings, so to speak, the act of driving becomes automatic in increasing measure. He does not try to climdb up on his steering wheel, but sits back in relaxed fashion. I know that from practice I am able to drive my car at a good olip without concentrating upon the act of driving. On the contrary I enjoy the surround- ings as I travel along, and at the same time get all the benefits of the health and strength-producing exercise at- terdant upon driving. “The motor car has accomplished al- most invaluable results in doing away with a certain species of person known as the tired business man. The in- dividual who once was classed as a tired business man is tired no longer; he is alert every minute; his eve has a brighter sparkle; he is alive and keen and responsive. “Figures prepared by the Govern- ment Census Bureau certainly show in striking fashion the decrease in our death rate since the automobile came into being, and though we cannot give all the credit to the use of motor cars, still we must not ignore the fact that motor cars have played their m‘ in helping us to live longer.. " look at these flgures carefully. In 1880 the death rate per thousand was 19.8. In 1900 the rate had gone down to 17.6, and in 1906, with the further increase in the use of automobiles, the death rate had reduced to 15. Since 1906 it has wandered stili further] down the scale, reaching a low water mark of 13.9 per thousand in 1912, “The answer you can find in the above figures. The coming of the au- tomobile has indeed been an able ae- sistant to the progress of civilization in making a man live longer. Oof course it can be realized that as the length of the average man's life in- creases the death rate decreases. One fact finds its reflection in the other. “The more automobiles in use the more man gets out -into the country and enjoys the benefits of a change of scenery, fresh air and respite from business care. Likewise the more automobiles the more people give up time to recreation and relaxation, par- ticularly when no mental strain is in- volved in operating the car. Auto- mobile drivers give this time to recre- ation and relaxation largely because they find they can perform their regu- lar dally tasks quicker and better. “The motor car has eliminated dis- tances and has enabled men to live farther away from their work than previously without causing them any inconvenience. It encourages long drives out in the country, and broad- ens and enriches one's experience by opening up new regions, new beauties in nature. Tt jams good, frésh air down a man’s throat, &nd makes him feel younger each day than he did the day before. “When we list the reasons why the automobile has come to stay, we, In justice to its importance, have to name this one and underscore it; the auts mobile mal a man live longer, and, although I am not a physician, I should say the possession of an auto- mobile makes a man live at least ten years longer.” HUDSON SUPER SIX HAS POWERFUL MOTOR Car Economical of Maintenance and Simple—Quick Acceleration.

But because of the Hudson invention of balancing the forces thai manifest themselves within the motor | vibration has been practically elimi- nated.

Useless might is here transformed into pickup, wondrous riding comfort, and economy that wrings every gallon of gas into 18 miles of glistening flight. The glorious spell of her acceleration has enchanted 740 cities. You give her gas—the gear engages—you're off. Her awareness amazes you—it’s as though she had a brain in that body of might and metal.
