THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Ford cars are not an experiment. Years of
concentration on a single model have produced
a motor car-of proved value. It is as important
in modern life as the mail service or telephone.
Behind the Ford car is genuine Ford service, by
competent mechanics using genuine Ford parts
—with regular standard Ford prices. That is the
service given by this agency. Runabout $345,
Touring Car $360, Sedan $645, Coupelet $505,
Town Car $595—all f. o. b. Detroit..

In a very happy fashion and in the

tory.
Dr. Wharton spoke for sopne thirty
■ forty minutes und endeavored to
put lK>fore those who listened with great
Interest the fact that the Impression
Is growing at Washington that we are
probably in for a three or fbur years’
war. He based this growing Iielief
of the liest Informed thinkers of tlie
nation upon two lines of evident*.
First: That Gen. Joffre and Lord
Balfour In their recent tour through
the middle west were evidently de-
claring through the newspaper edi-
torials the day after their visit to
each city that the liest informed opin-
ion in military circles in France and
England believes that the war was far
from being over. This announcement
of course they could not make openly
to the American iieople under their own
signature because of comfort It might
give to the German Empire, yet they
were most anxious to produce this im-
pression when talking to tbose#who in-
spire national ofUnlon.
The second reason for believing that
the war Is likely to continue for an
Indefinite period and so calling for
American sacrifice is due to the great
book, fresh from the press, entitled.

Cincinnati authority aaye corn*
dry,,up and lift out
with finger*.
Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tolls
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit-
tle cost from the drug storo but IS
sufficient to rid one’s feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
soreness is Instantly relieved. Short-
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug Is sticky but dries at once
and Is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even Irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.

the last three years. Ambassador
Gerard declares that this book presents
a photograph of Internal conditions in
Germany. The conclusion reached
by Mr. Swope at the close of Ills won-
derfully clear statement, of conditions
und army of facts, is that Germany Is
determined to fight to tlie last and that
she lias resources both in men and food
supplies to protect tlie war for an in-
definite time.
Dr Wharton completed his address
by an impassioned idea for the Y. M.
C A. work among the soldier boys of
the forming of armies of America. The
general line of his argument was to
the effect that in all the past of its
history, admirable as may have been
the work of individual chaplains, on
the whole system had been practically
useless In affecting in any way tlie
moral welfare of the boys at the front.
He declared that the modern organi-
zation and equipment of the Y. M. 0.
A. teal In the army center absolutely
took care of the moral health of our
hoys In an almost perfect way.
He gave several Instances from his
own recent experience to" illustrate the
adequaek of (lie Y. M. C. A. work on
the border He expressed the Iielief
Unit Sherman would gladly do her port
towards raising the sum of money
needed for this work.
At the . close of his address lie asked
Dr. Edge of Pennsylvania to give his
personal experience while in the Span-
ish American war and his testimony
to the work of the Y. M. C. A. tent.
He did ibis in-a brief hut very striking

ABOUT OUR BOYS’ DEPARTMENT
.•
This department seems to have struck the chord of
popularity right from the start. It’s a department in which
a parent can find anything a boy wears, from handsome
Wash Suit? for the little tots up to knee length suit for the
big overgrown boy that wears an 18-year-old suit—They
are whoppers, too, but we got ’em.
Mothers, bring the boys with you and let them have
a word in selecting their apparel—they will feel perfctly
at home in a department for them exclusively. That’s per-
fectly natural.
