VER SAL CAR 1 The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system and demountable rims with tires all around, for every day in the vear has no equal as a family car. Just as popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of life Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate glass windows make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in rainy and inclement weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is ideal for social functions, the theatre, or parties; carrying the children to school, or for touring. It is not only comfortable, but really cozy, and above all, economical in operation and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits of strength and durability. We solicit your order for one.

DANIELS SUMS UP

Taking the broad view, which is surely the one that we should take, Secretary Daniels had no diffculty in showing that the American navy rendered distinguished service during the war, and that the board charged ■with its management labored with zeal and intelligence to insure victory. That there were mistakes, the secretary freely admits, and also some differences of opinion. Yet these did not develop among the men managing affairs on this side, so that there was never any occato appeal to the secretary. One of the greatest pieces of work done during the war, the laying of the North Sea mine barrage, was of American origin, and was for a time opposed, or at least questioned, by Admiral Sims and the British admiralty on the ground of its supposed Impracticability. But, after the plan

had been decided on, {here was the heartiest co-operation. There was a question as to whether troopships or foodships should have the preference in the matter of convoy, the department holding for the former and Admiral Sims for the latter. For a time there were not many troopships to be convoyed, and then there might perhaps have been more attention devoted to the task of safeguarding the foodships, as it was known that Germany’s submarine campaign was directed against the British food supply. However, the British got enough food to carry them through the war, and our transports were sent across without the loss of a single man. Both jobs were done, and well done. Mr. Danielq is entirely right in saying that Admiral Sims should never have repeated the foolish remark of Admiral Benson. He says further, and quite truly, that the selection of such an admirer of England as Admiral Sims for service In connection with the British navy is the best possible proof of the entire absence in government circles (including Admiral Benson) of any unfriendliness for England, and that further proof is afforded by the harmonious relations that existed between the two services during the war. Of this the secretary said: Our officers and our men felt that they were truly shipmates during the war with their British assistants but they were ” not closer in spirit and more devoted in effort and united in determination to win than were the officers in the navy department in Washington and in the admiralty in London. They made mistakes, and so did the American navy. In mutual co-operation, ashore and afloat, and in the united sacrifice of the men of both nations, there came a mutual esteem and fellowship. Let it be perpetuated in mutual co-operation for the victories of peace.

If there are lessons to be learned from our mistakes, by all meahs let us learn them. But nothing can be gained from attempts to belittle the great achievements of the navy in the world war. We came out of the struggle, as Admiral Benson showed last week, with the greatest naval power that the world had ever seen, not second even to that of Great Britain. Americans should be proud —and they are—of what was done. —lndianapolis News (Rep.)

SENATOR McCUMBER AGAIN

Opening the fight against the Republican plan to end the state of war by joint resolution of the congress, Senator McCumber of North Dakota, Republican member of the senate foreign relations committee, declared in the senate a few days ago that such a step would bring dishonor on the nation as it would involve desertion of America’s association in the war. Senator McCumber challenged many of the contentions of Senator Knox, made in the former secretary of state’s opening address last week in support of the resolution. While agreeing that the congress has the power to repeal resolutions declassing a state of war, he denied vigorously that peace actually existed. “Only by a treaty," he said, “can questions arising from the war be

settled. If we are at peace with Germany, then why on earth is this solemn farce being enacted In the genate of the United States? “That we have deserted our allies is bad enough. That we have deserted our cause and thereby condemned it is far worse. The position we are placing our country in is a shameful one and I can never support it by my vote. “We refused to join the allies in consummating this agreement, but while we seek to compel Germany to assure us all of the benefits and all of the rights which would accrue to us, we decline to accept any of the responsibilities of the treaty. “No argument, no matter how cunningly devised or eloquently presented, can hide the deformity involved in this course.”

THESE WOMEN DID NOT TALK

English Matrons Adopt Silent Tea— Sacred Music Is the Only Sound. Mansfield, England.—Silent teas for women are an innovation which Mrs. Hoskyne, wife of the bishop of Southwell, is trying to establish here. Many women attended a recent meeting of the mothers’ union just to see whether the seemingly impossible might be accomplished. It is reported that there was no talking, but that the tedium of tea without a chat was rellteved by sacred music.

How the Mayor Proved His Case.

Elwood, Ind. —There’s no doubt in the mind of Mayor John G. Lewis that he ruled correctly when he ordered a young son of Eli Butler sent to quarantine because he had the smallpox. The mayor was called In to decide the question when Butler was arrested on a charge of bringing the boy to town suffering from the disease. Now the mayor has the smallpox.

KILLS HIS GRANDDAUGHTER

Aged Man Who Uses Ax Says Ha Wanted to Save Her Life of Misery. Muskegon, Mich. —“I did it because I loved her and wanted to take her out of this life of misery," was the explanation offered by Stuart C. Moon, aged seventy-two, of the killing of his ten-year-old granddaughter, Irma Moon, according to officers who took him Into custody. Moon, a retired lumberman, was said by residents of Muskegon Heights to have called the girl out of a schoolroom and attacked her with an ax. The child's body was mutilated, Rev. A. W. Lyon told the officers, before he could interfere. Moon was held on a charge of murder. An investigation Into his sanity probably will be ordered, it was said.

Appearance and Reality.

Lawrenceburg, Ky.—Einmett Griffy, sheriff, and John Bond, circuit court clerk, were arrested on complaint of John Siers, jailer, who has political aspirations, on the charge that they had been gambling in the courtroom. » The trial developed the fact that the sheriff and circuit court clerk had merely been rehearsing a church play and the gambling language was from the manuscript.

ENGINEER DAVIS PLANNED TO QUIT

Was Hardly Able to Run His Engine—Feels Fine Now. “It was two years ago that Tanlac overcame my troubles of seven years standing and I have been enjoying the best of health ever since,” was the statement made recently by Henry W. Davis of 401 Spencer St., Toledo, Ohio. For nineteen years Mr. Davis has been employed by the New York Central Railroad and for the past fifteen years he has been freight engineer out of Toledo on the N. Y. C. lines. “As my work called for irregular hours and meals and all sorts of weather, it got the best of me about nine years ago,” continued Mr. Davis. “I suffered a general breakdown and ever since that time I had been in the worst kind of health. My kidneys were badly disordered and the pains in my back troubled me so bad that I could hardly breathe. My stomach went back on me and it seemed that nearly everything I ate disagreed with me. Gas bloated me up until I would have fainty, dizzy spells so bad that I would almost fall over in my tracks. I just simply had to force myself to go to my work as it was wrecking my nerves and fast sapping my strength away. Finally I got so bad off that I had to have an operation on my nose to even be able to breathe. About .two years ago I gave up hope of continuing my work 1 and was making plans to quit it.

“But meanwhile I heard of Tanlac and had- begun to take it. Well, sir, I was dumfounded at- the quick results I received and by the time I had finished my fourth bottle I was feeling like a new man. The pains in my back and sides left me — b and my kidneys soon were__in fine condition.— >Gass topped forming on my stomach and my appetite returned. My breathing became free and easy and my nerves were as steady as a clock. This wag two years ago that all my troubles left me and to this day they have never shown up again. I did not have to quit work and today I am driving my engine with as much pleasure as I did fifteen years ago. My gain has been in every way and I feel ten years younger. I consider Tanlac the greatest boon to suffering humanity that the world has ever seen and I gladly give it my hearty recommendation.” Tanlac la sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & .Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.
