Punctures No more “b!ow outs”, no more tire troub- Jes at all. Standard Tire Protectors enable you to come end go, day in and day out, without the least bit of anxiety. Eliminate the tire expense and you know the cost of up-keep of your car will be merely nominal. are the only device known which protect tires without affecting resiliency. Sharp stones, glass or nails cannot pene- trate our durable protectors. The arrows above indicate their strong construction. The body of the tire protector is composed of four or more layers of Sea-Island cotton fabric, and the rubber tread of pure Para Rubber, giving strongest wearing qualities. Slips over the tread surface of the tire and is held firmly in place by natural inflation ure. No metal fastenings. Gravel, water or foreign matter cannot get in. Impossible for them to work off, and pocreeping.

Lee, A.M., Ph.D., the professor of physiology at Colum- bia University. We understand that Professor Lee is not a member of the medical profession, but his experience as a vivisector and his ability as a demonstrator are undoubted. Not very long ago, at a meeting of a society of experimental physiologists held at the physiological laboratory of Columbia University, Prof. Frederic S. Lee brought to the notice of his as- sociates, under the heading of “ origi- nal investigations,” a new invention. He called the machine “a FATIGUE weet,” and the report adds that the author demonstrated a wheel, designed for fatiguing mammals by means’ of volun tary muscular work We are so constantly informed that little or no pain is ever inflicted no: days in physiological laboratories that there would seem to be here a peculiar- ly good opportunity for Professor Lee to prove this assertion, so far as it applies to certain experiments of his own, Cannot Lire persuade the learned physiologist of Columbia University to give a more public demonstration of iis wheel in action, with a happy dog gamboling therein, and undergoing all the felicity of fatigue induced by “ vol- untary muscular work"? It must be admitted that in some other physiological laboratories “ fa- tigue wheels” do not appear to have been conducive of animal content The “wheel” of Professor Mosso, an Italian physiologist, is said to have re- sembled that part of a squirrel’s cage i which the captive takes his exer- cise, except that in the scientific im- plement the “wheel” is turned by a motor, making it impossible for the creature undergoing fatigue to stop: and rest. We are told that one dog, after being made to fast for twenty- four hours, was forced to run for six consecutive hours in the wheel, at the rate of about 380 fect per minute; that in another experiment a blind dog, after running in the machine for only an hour, gave up the task of contribut- ing to science, allowed himself to be dragged helplessly along, and finally, with bleeding feet, was taken out; and that an old dog, which also had been made to fast, was removed from the \Sterling Tires are biggest for their rated Put them on the scales with any other and yo see one reason why they wear best.
