FIRST OF SHIPS BOUGHT
BY FORD IS JUNKED
The first of the fieet of 199
ships purchased by Henry Ford
from the United States Shipping
Board to be scrapped for the
i manufacture of Ford products,
reached the River Rouge plant
,of tlx eFord Motor Co., Thurs-
ly, December 17th. Hitched
to a snorting tug, the bin stee;
'freighter slowly breasted ilv

River and finally dropped in
the Rouge slip, its last voyage
completed.
The ship-Lake Fondulace-
barely escaped the grip of wint-
er all the way along the route
to Detroit. In the St. Lawrence
It was necessary to plow lanes
through ice fields already form-
r ed and the ship with its tug was
closed for the winter. On th
high sea, gales buffeted the
staunch tug and its helpless
burden. On thre occassions ai
wireless communicationwas des
troyed and the Ballcamp—one
of the seven sea-going tugs also
purchased by Mr. Ford—was
forced to seek the protection of
Atlantic harbors for its charge.
Eleven men were carried by
the Lake Fondulac on its trip to
the River Rouge and the tug
was manned by a crew of twenty
three. The vessel to be scrapped
off 3,500 tons cargo capacity;
£1 feet long with a beam of
43.5 feet .Upon its arrival a
Rouge plant, it will be dis
.. mantled and all boilers, pump:
' and other useable equipment
ivaged. The remainder of the
ship will be scrapped, its steo
<to be used in the manufactur«
of Ford cars and trucks and
Fordson tractors.
Although the vesstl is in
capable of motion und.'T its o.v
power, one boiler was kept firco
all the way to Detroit to pro

Dangerous Cough
—How to End it
To quickly end a dangerous cough
there is a very simple treatment which
gives almost instant relief and often
breaks the cough entirely in 24 hours.
Thistreatment is based on the famous
Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs.
You take just one teaspoonful and hold
it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds
before swallowing it. The prescription
has a double action. It not only soothes
and heals soreness and irritation, but
also loosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the real cause
of the coughing. So the worst cough
usually disappears quickly.
Dr. King's New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spas-
modic croup, etc. Fine for children, too
—no harmful drugs. Very economical,
as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At
all good druggists. Ask for
