"The Price is the Thing"
Chrysler Makes Num-
ber of New Rceords
0
Chrysler's long series of impressive
speed and long distance records
was carried auspiciously into 1928 by
the capture of two Australian records
in the month of January, cables re-
ceived at the company's Detroit head-
quarters indicate.
As a result cf these Avo victories,
all interstate records in both Aus-
tralia and New Zealand are now held
by Chrysler car3.
The latest achievements, according
to the cablegrams, consisted of a run
of 591 miles from Adelaide to Mel-
bourne in 10 houre and 42 minutes on
January 31.
The Sydney-Melbourne record has
been hotly contested between Chrys-
ler and another American car. H. J.
Beith, an amateur driver, set a new
mark for this run December 22 last
by covering the distance in 11 hours
and 14 minutes. His drive was the
more remarkable as it was in a sal-
vaged Chrysler "70" which had been
badly damaged in a fire and which
Beith bought for eighty pounds from
an insurance company and refitted.
The car had 37,000 miles already on
its speedometer. Beith had no com-
panion on the run, carried no tools
except a hammer and a spanner and
was without even as much as a spare
spark plug as provision against pos-
sible accidents.
Therecord thus spectacularly won
was lowered early in January and the
Chrysler "70" was sent once more
over the course on the last day of the
month, again making a fresh time
mark, as the cable now received
shows.. The time on this last dash
averaged 53.83 miles an hour.
Chrysler now holds all speed and
distance records in Australia, includ-
ing the interstate runs from Brisbane
to Sydney; Melbourne to Sydney,
Freemantle to Adelaide; Christchurch
to Bluff, and Ackland to Wellington
in New Zealand.
Among the other feats which have
given its cars high prestige in the
Antipodes Chrysler holds the Aus-
tralian record and all speed records
up to 1000 miles through the specta-
cular drive made by William Attwood
and A. H. Colliver in a "70" two-
seater last August over the dry bed of
Lake Perkolilli. In this feat the
for the distance of 1607.87 miles.

While working at the Boney mill
ten miles south of Madisonville last
week, R. B. Anderson, a laborer, was
caught in the belt of the sawdust con-
veyor and practically all of his cloth-
ing was torn from his body, and he
was painfully hurt about the back
and suffered three broken ribs. He
was unconcious for several hours, but
last reports from him say he will re-
cover. He had a narrow escape, how-
ever.

RUN-DOWN
Cardui Starts Missouri
Lady On Road To
Health Again.
Mrs. T. O. Harris, of
Clarksburg, Mo., writes:
"For two years, I was
In very poor health, almost
past going, so weak and
run-down. I tried to make
the most of what little
strength I had left, but
I eould find nothing to
start me on the road to
health again until, one day,
I decided to try CarduL
"I took Cardui for sev-
eral months and was very
much gratified with the
results. I began to do my
town work again. My color,
which had been pale and
sallow, became natural.
My complexion cleared ufr
Cardui was just the tonic,*
I needed."
Take ^Cardui If yon are
run-down. It should do
you good. At all druggists.
