for auto buying will be outstripped bj the coming season, and already lar^e orders are being placed for early dtS livery in 1915. The early showings "i the manufacturers indicate that they are prepared to satisy the demand.

There is no reason wby every proapeCtive motorist should not be well pleased with the advance offerings of I' the 1915 models. Whether he can sper.d j' $500 or $5,000, the would-be purchaser i.

of a car can buy better value, greater beauty, and more reliable and economical performance than ever before. Utill 'like former years, prices have been maI' terially reduced in many Instances. a::d this, in spite of the increased and improved equipment that is. included. In previous years, prices aad generally been maintained at their original figures, and the greater value was given in the form of increased dimensions .r added equipment—or a new model was produced to sell at a low :r price. Rut 1914 sales have been so .'.remendous in volume that t-he increased productions necessary for the forthc cn'ng season have enabled many manufacturers of the medium-priced cars actually to reduce the cost to the purchaser of tne

complete machine—and to offer at the same time all of the 1915 improvements that have been accepted r.s standard. ?. Instances of this marke r! price reduc1 tlon are especially apparent in th? "light six" field, where "cars formerly selling at from $1,550 to 1,SOO are no"

Pull the Teeth and Beauty Fades

It seems that in England It is a common practice to pull all the teeth in order to enre pyorrhoea, or Riggs' disease. Sir John Goodheart, the famous surgeon, has raised an earnes! protest against this. He Said in the Lancet, "To one not an expert it suems more? reasonable to hold that so long as teeth are in their sockets, free from int? nse pain and serviceable for mastication, there is something to be said on the side of keeping our own'rather than take to others that we know not of." Store teeth detract from health and besuty. When you find the teeth or gums are sere, painful to the touch cf food or tongue, sensitive to heat or cold, loose Ir their sockets, brittle, gel on edge easilj, tender, or the jrunis Fhrink from the necks of the teeth, ir is time l'or you to begin the work of destroying the microbe* th:it infest tti cracks or crannies of the teeth. you can readily overcome th'rs.3 cun-ditif-ns by getting four ounces of Hui,l i-rfran from ihe druggist (y.ou don't need more), and rising-'a teaepoonful morning, noon and niarht, simply garbling the mouih with this for a minute or so. The microbes will be washed out, the cracks cleaned, the toetb become strong ani firm in the gums, the hard foreign substances dissolved, and the yellow peel off. In th mornliiLyou 'will again see the white of your own tfeth.

A HELPING HAND.

Terre Haute bought her bale of cotton from the south, and is just closing her purchase of nearly 800 barrels of flour for the Belgians. There will be no regrets on the part of any donor.

The first enterprise has directed attention to an interesting economic condition in this country. Developments now Indicate that the cotton situation is solving itself, helped very greatly by the action of Secretary McAdoo in the matter of the cotton loan. The Inauguration of the reserve banks adds a further element of assurance.

So much have conditions improved It is probable that most of those who wefe asking congressional assistance now see that the president was right A few—Senator Vardaman, for one— are still outspokingly of the opinion 5 that the president was wrong and that $ congress will yet be obliged to act.

An administration cannot make much progress unless it is able and willing to view big questions in their national scope. Southern dominance }. in congress, due to wholly natural causes, has been criticized from time to time. And their success In other directions may have emboldened certain members to ask for what the head 1 of the administration could not couny. tenance.

priced at from $150 to $200 less. Aisc -^onrc of the four-cylinder machines of the $1,000 and $1,200 clavs that werenot reduced last year have now been made available at from $50 to $100 less than formerly.

ELECTED BY^QNE VOTE. .. .. A press dispatch brings the news that Lathrop Brown, democratic candidate for congress in "thd"5 ^irst "dis .trict of New York, has been elected by ope vote over his opponent. This1 is thfe home district of Colonel Roosevelt,

This incident goes to «how the'tei" portanoe of ona vote in deciding a contest which, in turn, may have, decided the control of iohgre'ss. In connection with the duties and obligations which the franchise fmposeS, the ideal condition oould ,bei said tS exist if every voter would always loolf upoi) his own vote as the' one vote that would be needed to decide the fate of the candidate or question he was voting upon. It is of the highest importance to the welfare of the country that "voters should form opinions and that they should not lose an opportunity to express them at the ballot box.

TARIFF BUG-A-BOO.

Just about a year ago the stand-pat papers were in hysterics over the threatened ruin of the farmers of this country through the Introduction of "cheap" Argentine corn. By this time our markets were to be inundated with a golden stream from the South American republic. Samples of this corn were purchased and placed in store windows over the country for the pui pose of furnishing a concrete example of the blue ruin that was facing American agricultural interests.

What are the facts? According to the Journal of Agriculture (St. Louis), a trifle over 10,000,000 bushels of Argentine corn were imported ^nto the United States between July 1, 1913, and June 13, 1914, a little less than nine months of the time being under the new tariff act. During the same period over 145,000,000 bushels of Argentine corn were sent to Europe.

As every farmer knows, 10,000,000 bushels doesn't cut a very wide swath in the big field of home needs, and as one Hoosier congressman pointed out, "It wouldn't make a respectable breakfast for the hogs of Indiana." At present the price of corn is too high to make it even profitable for the farmers to feed it to their hogs without heavy supplementary rations.

JEW FOR GOVERNOR.

Frequent comment has been made since the election of the rapid passing of racial and religious bias in this country, emphasized most strongly in the election of governor of Moses Alexander, chosen chief executive of Idaho. Alexander is said to be the first Jew executive of an American commonwealth.

Many Jews have held important positions in the federal government. Others have served with distinction in both houses of congress. That none has hitherto been called to a gubernatorial chair must be regarded as merely a curious political chance.'

Mr. Alexander is a merchant of Boise. He is a native of Germany, and has lived in Idaho since 1891. No religious issue was raised in the campaign, and Mr. Alexander's victory was an indication of his popularity in a community which knows him well.

It is perhaps true that Jews play a larger part in the public life of Great Britain than they do in the politics of the United States. But in this country they have taken a prominent part in most national activities. The phenomenal run of Oscar Straus for governor of New York on the bull moose ticket was proof of the high esteem in which this philanthropist and statesman is held by the people of the Empire state,

Like Alexander, he is a broadgauged American, influential in the community in which he lives, and a credit to the land of his adoption.

THE ARMY MULE.

A dispatch in the Tribune a few days ago recounted how the British army had purchased two thousand Indiana miiles for immediate shipment. Despite the elaborate tractor and motor equipment of the continental armies^ the American mule may yet be a deciding factor in the war. It seems that the American army mule need havti no fear for his laurels-because of the great part gasoline motors have ptayed in transportation problems. ,Until American roads generally are brought iup to the high standard: of the roads "of Gfermany, France, Belgium and othe-. European countries, the army mu'o will determine through his capacity foi hauling, the limitation of operations for military forces.

Only one branch of the United Stages army is giving serious attention to motor traction. In the quartermaster's department experiments are being made, particularly along the Texas border, with handling s'.ppli^s in motor trucks. Motor trucks are in generfl use, of course, about army posts anf •vherever good roads are available it when maneuvres take the columns Into 'he field and the sandy or mudly country roads, where, mere wheel tracks across the country are the cnlv high-

rjrji-tjS however, and his friends concede that he is. "some rutiner," as was shown by the election returns. His story of hib first dollar is rather vague, since he was young when he earned it. ..don't remember exactly about the first money I iever earned," said John wtren seen by a Tribune reporter Saturday. "But alsout the first money !l ever rtmember of earning was working as a messenger boy. I worked f()r both the Postal and the Western

Union and-there learned to be a telegraph operator. During the strike of 1907 I went out with the other boys and never re-entered the service."

After leaving the telegraph service Mr. Grace worked at various occupations for a time. In 1908 when Frank Hoermann was elected recorder Mr. Grace was named as his deputy. His excellent work in this department lead to his nomination by the democrats in 1914 and his election by a comfortable plurality. Mr. Grace points with pride to the fact that has father, James Grace, once saved the democratic ticket by being elected to the city council

ways, the sijx-mule team is sti'l mr-ster of the transportation situation. A few years ago it was determine.1 to experiment with motor transportation as a means to increase the radius of field artillery. The most available subject for thi? purpose was the battery wagon, carrying tho forces for gun repairs and horse shoe'ng.

General Crozier, chief of the army ordnance bureau, designed a motor battery wagon which was tried out in maneuvres. It proved a fiat failure for it was so heavy that it broke through bridges, sunk to the hubs lit soft roads and generally hampered the battery to which it was attached. The experiment was abandoned and the ordnance bureau is now content to await the results of the experiments of the qjartermaster's department in self-pro-pelled army transportation units. IV'ules and horses are good enough for American artillerymen as yet-

Even the soldier requires his luxuries. Tobacco and chocolate are called for by the Britons in the trenches and the French fighters bewail a scarcity of sugar. The old theory that the fighting instinct should be nourished on raw beef was discarded long ago.

A lot of writers have turned up who claim to have prophesied this war months in advance. If they can do as good a job prophesying peace, they can name their own terms.

New York is trying to invent a dustless ash cart. How futile! If a noiseless one could be Invented, more people would be reconciled to having to 'live in New York.

Europe is now paying high price? for horses in Mexico. Not that that is the real reason why the patriots down there have decided to quit fighting.

HOROSCOPE FOE A DAY.

Monday, November 23, 1914.

According to the reading of the stars this is rather an unimportant day. Jupiter is in beneflc aspect, but Saturn is adverse, and it is wise to exercisc: caution.

The rule Is fairly good for bankers, merchants and lawyers, who should find the day's activities important, chiefly because they lead to broadened, fields of industry.

There is a good sigh for buying' steplea, being especially fortunate, as commerce is open in mnay directions now unexpected.

Japan is subject to a government of the planets, which is believed by the eeers to be exceedingly interesting to the United States.

Neptune in Leo will continue to I trcuble France, it is said by foreign! astrologers, but Paris is safe and the future of the country is brilliant.

The president of the United States is warned against the possibilities' of blunders on the part of a trusted dip-j lomat, whom he will send on a secret mission.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a successful year. Both men and wohrien will prosper financially. Young persons will have romances.

Children bora on this day should prosper all through life. They will enjoy work' as well as play. Boys should like, outdoor sports and have gieat physical strength.

Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 22

Br EVANGELIST CLYDE LEE FIFE.

Pilate is the monumental politician of the ages. Other men like him have come and gone for nineteen hundred years, but the name of Pilate is synonymous with that policy and political evasion of justice and righteousness. The heart of this lesson is touched when we streak of one who lacks the courage of his convictions. Pilate knew that Jesrs was one without sin and told the people "I And no fault in this man." It was therefore his official dutv to pardon Him, but for fear of the* people who hatod Jesus and had arovsed real n-.ob violence, he signed the weath warrant that made it the duty of the executioner to nail Him to the cross.

Are you. in tho. crowd that is afraid cf the bunch?. Are you afraid to get Vown on your kneefc the first night when away at .school, in the presence of all the other boys, and pray to God? Are you afraid ihat if you voted for the man that you know has honor and integrity that you'might lose your job? Are you afraid that if you joined the church or took a stand for God that you would immediately. become unpopular with some of your unbelieving associates?

There are many men who smoke, crink. chew, swear, gamble and commit adultery because other men in their crowd do those things. Alone, they would hardly think of such. In the gan^ whore others lead the way, they follow suit. Thest are Rang evils and will never be met except in the matter of enforced loneliness or by self-con-trol. It is a poor plan indeed to try 1o cloister one's-self. The wprld needs the man in it to make it better and the man need3 the world. The oak is the sturdiest of all trees because it is tried by winds and storms more than af other. Change your own ways and you will soon change the gang. If t'ney insist Ihat you do as they do, then get out of the gang. .(Jo- to Oberammergau. See the passion play, enacted.
