Best Motor Oils
CORRECT lubricants are the
most economical some
times in the beginning always
in the end. The engine of your
car is the propelling power. It
is the most important single part.
And it is highly probable that
the oils you use exert a larger f '
influence on your engine than I Jn JL M
any other feature.
Protection for
Your Engine
Keep your car out of the repair
shop by keeping the right oil in
your engine.
The right oil need not hi lr 5
most expensive. But it is o:l
that has been tested. It has
been proved by its action on
many cars in many kinds cf
service. That is the kind of oil
we sell. You can make no mis
take in filling up here always.

1 From ihe Raleigh Xewa and Ob
server.) For nearly a month we have b'M'n
oassing through a selge of weather
that is colder thun normal. Some
folks say they lik" this kind of ihina
laud possibly they do. The KsiiiilmaiiN
and the Polar bear seem 10 stay
where cold p.vvails ami thrive on it
The most of us, however, have more
1 of a regard for lh" coal pile and don't
j like to see il fade away ho rapidly.
; The cold weather, however, has It's
j advantages, particularly in this laii
j tilde. We are on Ihe boundary line
I of summer and winter. The warmer
climate has many objectionable pests
that cannot thrive iu the colder lati
tude. An open winter permits more
of those things to survive and be
ready for their larger broods in t!
spring than is possible where it Is
colder. Just now with the coining or
the boll weevil Into the Stale, there
is no doubt that the hard freezliv;
weather of the last few days has been
wonh millions to the cotton planter.
The severe winter of two years Ico
shocked the weevil over a broad range
of the whole South, and In fact, froze
it out of a considerably territory it
had raptured.

without any quibbling or red tape.
Kheumutisiii is a dangerous dis

This is what Kh'Miina did for many.
II should do as much for you.
"1 have been laid up for one year
with chronic arthritis." says one suf

spent four months In a sanitarium,
but had practically no relief. Then I
started taking liheuma. Xow I can
go without crutches or other aid,
which I could not do for the last nine
months. I highly recommend It, and
would gladly answer any questions
