Some very remarkable results are

vegetable oils, which exert a cleans

on the lower bowels, removing the OBJ

and gases and preventing their abb

the hands of druggists all over the

70 Give Away. the Most for the Money 10

We are glad again-for the
third time in two years-to an
nounce a big reduction on Good
year tires, effective February 1st.
Goodyear policy on price is to
give the utmost in a tire at the
lowest possible profit. Our re-
auctions are made to that end,
without ever reducing the quail
ity.
That always means, with our
matchless output, more for the
money than any other maker

RECORD IMPORTATION OF GOWNS

New York, Dec. 20 9.-Importation
of Paris gowns to the United States
during the month OF December has
exceeded that of any other corre-
spending period within the memory
of customs officials here Imports
for the trade have increased, but
most CT the gowns have been for pri-
vate individuals. One of the reasons
given is that thousands of American
women who in previous years went
to Paris and brought over French
dresses as personal baggage, are now
buying them on orders with the re-
suit that the importations appear in
the customs records Another cause
is assigned by customs men to the
fact that wealthy Americans have
taken this method o. aiding the Pari-
sian tailors and dressmakers whose
business has been affected by the
war.
