If the body is underweight-r-under-nour-ished how can the child meet the rigors of winter and still' battle off disease? The, answer is Bring him up to normal weight, for under-weight is too big a handicap for any child. And, think 5 pounds below normal means ,a whole ,year behind his playmates in physical development. Better weigh the child to day. If below normal, see your doctor at once. He will help you correct the trouble. He' will probably' suggest the use of more milk because this is Nature's best builder of bone and muscle. Milk also acts as a safeguard against disease.

Here is the result of the one remaining event of importance. (Drawn from Photograph) I : , V. STEPHENSON. A. A. A. Technical RepreienUtWe STANLEV S. TURNER. Winninr Dnreroftlie Franklin Car FOSTER CURRV, Donntorof the Camp Curry Trophy STANDISH MITCHELL, Sec. Auto Club of So. California HARRY &. MAiON, A. A. A. Board Representative New Record For Fuel Economy In Annual Yosemite Run 49.9 Ton Mile to the Gallon of Gasoline Scored by the Franklin Car THE FRANKLIN WON Xf Wins Three First Prizes in Event Testing Economy from Every Angle The last remaining automobile economy run of national importance has been the "Yosemite Run" from Los Angeles t'o Camp Curry, Yosem ite, conducted by the Automobile Club of Southern California under official A. A. A. supervision. Cars of many different types, makes, weights' and prices were entered. The distance is 374.5 miles over the steep slopes of the Sierra Moun tains. A profile of the route pre sents a saw-tooth effect, ranging from sea-level up to 6800 feet, includ ing long, tiring grades as well as sharp rises. No better route could be selected to test car efficiency and reliability from every angle econ omy, power, cooling and comfort. And no better demonstration of the correctness of the Franklin principles of air cooling, light weight and flexibility could be desired than the results recorded.' Even though a rating of "ton-miles" was devised to remove all handicaps of weight, the Franklin took both prizes for which all cars were eligible, in addition to the prize in its own class. FIRST PRIZE Sweepstakes cup, for best all round showing of any car at any price in gasoline and oil consumption and cooling efficiency. It covered the 374.5 miles on 13 gallons of gasoline, an average of 28.8 miles to the gallon. M FIRST PRIZE All classes, most ton-miles per J5St gallon of gasoline. This rating vas devised to remove all handicaps of weight. It put all scores on an equal basis of comparison. The Franklin, with 4H.9 ton-miles, beat lighter and heavier cars. FIRST PRIZE Own price class, for most ton miles per gallon. The Franklin established a new record, being the first car of any make to win three prizes in the history of the event. This triple victory for the principles of lightweight and flexible construction and direct air cooling (no water to boil or freeze) is important. It indicates to motorists the freedom from trouble, the fuel economy,. and the assurance of motoring satisfaction open to them with the Franklin Car. These advantages have long been summed up in the conservative statement of Franklin performance : 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline 12,500 miles to the set of tires 50 slower, yearly depreciation Practically without exception, the Franklin Car has established the econ omy records of all the official events held in seventeen years. Dirt Road Record For Distance Made by Franklin Gar In 21 hours 37 minutes Continuous Driving, J. T. Peacha Co crs 729.5 Miles On July 22, J. T. Peacha, of Duluth, Minn., undertook to prove to Minnesota motorists not only that the Franklin is the easiest, least fatiguing car to drive, but also that few roads are bad enough to hinder motoring if your r is built on the right principles. He succeeded ! His average of 33.7 miles an liour for over twentj -one and a half hours is, better than the average car owner expects even under favorable conditions. aenei. strata dearly jhat the mptttar.t thine in etvtrtng distance is d car's ability tt go steadily over all ktnas of roads. Few but Franklin owners have ever driven up to four hundred miles in a day for pleasure on the best of roads. Mr. Peacha drove through a portion of Minne sota avoided as. much as possible bv native motorists because of its unimproved roads. The judges were: A. W. Tract, Auto Editor. Duluth Herald and Stenatt DeMars! Duluth Agent of the Goodyear Tire Company. Car and passengers weighed 3,385 pounds.
