A thick triangular block, to which a strong U-shaped metal member is attached, constitutes a new type of automobile lock. To protect a car the U-shaped part is clasped about the tire and rim of a front wheel, and then the two parts are snapped together like a padlock. A key unlocks it, but if it is tampered with, a gong begins to ring. The lock is shown in use in the October number of Popular Mechanics magazine.

Thornburg was next and spoke in part: “It is unnecessary for me to speak to you of the cause of war. It is sufI fleient that you know that a great injustice is being done in the world, that innocent people are suffering, atrocities committed that bring shame to humanity and it is a great thing you men are doing, yielding the most precious gift you have to offer, yourselves that humanity may live. Do you know that the biggest thing in the world is? j It is not war, it is not freedom, it is not the American government or any [other, it is not human life nor the worth of human life. It is that which will solve every problem, my brother I—The 1 —The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are here to do honor to these men. Young men you are doing a noble thing, beyond price, offering your life, BUT MAN CANNOT DIE. Like the flower that withers, the fruit which decays, 1 like every plant and every thing, you ' cannot die and your passing will but hearten and help some one else, will help another to face the battle. As you go may God bless you and go with you. If you go to the trenches remember He is with you. God bless you and bring you back to become useful citizens. Hon. Thurman Gottschalk of Berne, was next and said that he did not know he was to make an address, until he read the Daily Democrat after arriving but he did just the same, speaking for the southern part of the county. He said: “No oratory or demonstration we could produce would even in a small measure show the interest we have in our boys and the high regard we have for you. We hate to see you go for we realize that Uncle Sam takes the best. We are here to pay you respect and to show our interest. The government has called you and you will find him a good master. When Uncle Sam sends you home you will have made friendships that you will regret break. To you people at home, these boys taking your places their victory will be our victory. A i duty devolves upon us. Talk of these 'men, help them, boost the Liberty Loan, raise bumper crops and talk old I glory to the very limit. On behalf of Berne and the south part of the county I wish you boys God speed, farewell and hope you will all return soon. Rev. W. Paul Marsh representing the Men’s class of the Christian chiffch, then presented the members of the military body present with a khaki covered teastament. The little book bore on the cover an American (lag in national colors, contained the names of the men and the national and popular hymns. In presenting them Rev. Marsh said the class appreciated how the boys love to read and how each day they will find the message contained in the Testament of greater interest. He expressed his faith in the national army boys, that they are as brave and patriotic as any who have offered their services, told of the brave and heroic work of the Red Cross women and asked the cooperation of this community for these and all the soldier lads of Adams county. More than thirty of the national squad were on hand for the event last night and it was a complete success.

My daughter suffered greatly from female trouble with cramps, and headache, and backache most of the time. She never felt like working and it seemed as though she was sick all the time. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has helped her in every way, in fact it has really cured her, for she no longer has periodic pains, and no more headaches or backache, and I want all young girls . who suffer as she did to know about it.” --Mrs. Alma Mills, Eaton, 111. Another Girl's Experience. New Castle, Ind. — “From the time I was eleven years old until I was seventeen I suffered each month so I had to be in bed. I had headache, backache and such pains I would cramp double every month. I did not know what it was to be easy a minute. My health was all run down and the doctors did not do me any good. A neighbor told my mother about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I took it, and now I feel like a new person. I don’t suffer any more and I am regular every month.”—Mrs. Hazel Hamilton, 822 South 15th St., Newcastle, Ind. Girls who are troubled as these young women were, should immediately seek restoration to health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
