CLOSE ROOMS UNHEALTHY
Nothing does more harm than
belief that a house should be sealed

efficient is to tit slanting board no

to secure this to the sides Of the win

The window can then be raised al

DRAUGHTs ARE To BE AVOIDED
"Draughts are, of course. to be
avoided. They cool one part Of the
body while tue other is warm and
thus cause colds. But draughts
can be avoided and fresh air can

insufficient clothing is another
fruitful source of discomfort in win

temporarily without additional
clothing. Fashions which prescribe
light clothing in winter are among
the worst enemies of health. To go
without an overcoat or other heavy
clothing in cold is to invite sick

Many persons who are anxious
to have abundant fresh air in their
bed rooms in winter complain oil

ways to be avoided. Those who
can afford to do so should supply

Over 1000 FORD dealers, each with
stock of parts, are scattered all over Ameri-
ca, waiting and ready to serve FORD users,
no matter from what section Of the country
they come.
1t is practically impossible to go fifty
miles in any direction without finding one
or more FORD dealers.
In most states FORD dealers are found
every 20 miles. You will probably never
need their services, but it is a mcst comfort
ing thing to know they are there, if you do
need them.
Because, getting right down to brass
tacks, there is only one kind of service
worth the snap Of your fingers when you
are out on a tour and anything goes wrong
And that is-immediate service.
Only the FORD owner has the benefit of
such service, and it is the greatest insurance
policy you can have for motoring satisfac-
ton.
The very fact that every third car sold in
America is a FORD Model T, shows the dis
tinctive possibilities for Ford service. A net
work of agencies covers all States during
all seasons. 1t is the most efficient sales or
ganization known in the Automobile Indus

try, and no less notable in giving service to
FORD owners.
The FORD owner not only has the
benefit of immediate relief il mishap oc-
ours while on tour, but such thing as be-
ing without the use of his car while the fac
tory is making an adjustment is unknown
to him.
Because adjustments are made by the
FORD branch houses and dealers which are
located in all the large cities in the coun-
try, but while the adjustment is being made,
the FORD owner is driving his car, the same
as ever, the extra part having been furnish
ed by the nearest dealer or branch.
Mind you, no dealer can secure a FORD
agency without keeping stock of parts,
and keeping that stock replenished. He
must give service Or lose the most reliable
automobile connection in the world. So it
is by reason of the enforcement of this and
other FORD rules that the FORD service
means real service to the owner OF FORD
car
You will do we'll to ponder over the benefit
derived from this great FORD organization
before deciding to buy other than Model
7. 1t makes every FORD owners motor
experience delight.

AFFLECK TO HAVE CHAIN
Of FIVE DRUG STORES
Lease Secured at Ninth and D
Streets-0ther Nego-
tiations Pending.

The Sypret w. Hendrick Company, Inc,
has leased to Philip c. Affleck, for a
term of years for 100000, the northwest
corner of 9th and D streets northwest,
consisting Of eleven stores. The proper
ty has a frontage of LOG feet on 9th
street and 122 feet on D street. The
owner was represented by the R. O..
Hoffman Company. in the transaction.
Mr.. Aff1eck will remodel the three cor
ner properties 4O2 and 4O4 9th street and
SOB D street, into a modern drug store.
1t Is Mr.. Aff1eck's intention to increase
his business with a chain of five drug
stores in Washington, and negotiations
are in progress to buy building for an
other store. If this cannot be done, Mr..
Afheck will lease the building with the
privilege of buying at the expiration of
lease. Work on the 9th street improve
ment will start in about thirty days.
The stores at 1906 4OS and 40 9th street
and at 800, 9O7. 9O71a 900 and OIL d street
probably will not be affected by the i'm
provement, though negotiations are under
way to secure part of the space in the
newly leased properties for a moving
picture theater.
