HOW TO REDUCE HIGH COST OF LIYING DURING

THESE WAR TIMES—WHAT ETERT WOMAN CAN DO.

Look over your old clothes. Tou can never appreciate how much you can brighten and freshen up yonr wardrobe until you use Dy-O-La Dye.

Take some of your discarded blouses and dresses, dye them with some of the sixteen different colors of Dy-O-La, change the trimmings a bit and you will be surprised at the result.

Dy-O-La is the modern dye made by skilled chemists who have removed all the difficulty from home dyeing in order that you may get perfect re­sults. Old style dyes require a separ­ate dye for each kind of goods. That makes trouble (as you probably know,) for if you get a package for the wrong kind of material the goods are spoiled. You c^n't make such a mis­take with Dy-O-La Dye.

Take some garment that you have grown tired %f or that you desire to color the fashionable shade of the moment, look over Dy-O-La Dye color chart at your nearest druggists or storekeeper, select the one that pleases, and follow the printed direc­tions. They will look as if they had just come from the dressmaker.

And remember—the colors will be just as fast and durable as they are beautiful. They won't rub off or bleach out.

Buy it of your nearest druggist or storekeeper, but if they have not the color you want we wilf send it to you on reoeipt of ten cents and at the same time include direction book and color chart.

Dy-O-La Dye is made in Black. Blue, Navy Blue, Brown, Seal BrowD Light Green, Dark Green, Scarlet, Yellow. Orange, Cardinal Red, Pink, Purple, Dark Wine, Old Gold, Turkey Red, and from these sixteen colors a great variety of other shades and col­ors can be made.

(Polarine T H E P E R F E C T M O T O R O i l

vs.X (Unknown Quantity)

Given two cars of iden­tical make, going into service the same day. Let one owner use Polarine and pay close attention to lubrica­tion, changing the motor oil at 300, at 700, at 1,000, and then at each succeeding 1,000 miles. It costs approximately $1.00 a change. He will have at 30,000 miles a smoother run­ning car, a quieter motor, and will get a better price for his car than his neighbor who has driven only 10,000 miles, who used X — (inferior lubricating oil) — and changed the motor oil less fre­quently.

(Polarine ' l i t P E R F E C T M O T O R O I L

Stands Up It lubricates thoroughly the remotest reciprocating sur­faces. It forms an oil seal between the piston and cylin­der walls, reducing friction to a minimum and enables your car to deliver its maximum of power.

Give your car all the Polarine it needs. Keep the crank case full. Turn down your grease cups frequently.

This reads like extravagance, but it is truest economy.

Under driving conditions, where the temperature of cylinder walls ranges from 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the viscosity of Polarine is practically identical with that of so-called heavy oils, yet
