New Nash Six Holds
Center of Stage

According to C. B. yoorhis, gem
eral sales manager of The Nash Mo-
tors Company, Kenosha, Wisconsin,
the enthusiasm evidenced by the mo-
toring public in the new Nash Six
has been widespread. Immediately
following the announcement of the
perfected valve-in-h head Nash Six. ac-
cording to our Dealers" says Mr..
Voorhis. crowds of automobile en-
thusiasts flooded their local sales
rooms. Everyone was eager to see
the new car which bears the name of
Z. w. Nash.
While all seemed impressed with
the striking lines of the various
models and agreed that the Nash de-
slsners had done an exceptionally
good Job when they evolved the new
bodies and color schemes, the one
feature that impressed most buyers
was the wonderfully compact mo-
tor.
In appearance, this Nash power
plant differs radically from the or
dlnary six-cylinder motor. The us
ual tangle of wires and maze of
mechanism is missing. Instead, the
eye sees an engine that is as clean as
cut block of steel All moving
parts are encased in a steel Jacket
that keeps out dirt and dust.
The ve-passenger Sedan has at
tfacted many buyers within the few
months that have elapsed since the
announcement of the new Nash cars.
Every year the public is coming
more and more to realize the ad-
vantage and utility of this type of
car, especially at this time, when
sensible economy is being instilled
into our minds from all sides, the
great practicability of the Nash Sc
dan is apparent, for it combines all
the features of both the open and
closed car.
FOR winter driving about the city,
for shopping, theater and any of the
many social affairs that demand
closed car service it is we'll suited.
With the heavy plate glass windows
closed, the passengers are protected
against wind, rain and snow.
But just as soon as touring
weather makes its appearance the
Sedan feature is quickly eliminated
and to all intents and purposes you
have an open touring car"

Boosting Business Makes
Bond Buying Better

John n. Willys. the president of
asked concerning his opinion as to
the success of the present Liberty
Bond issue and It's relation to busi-
ness. expressed himself as follows:
There is no question in my mind
but that this bond issue is going to
be over-subscribed, which only vim
dicatea the patriotism of the Amer
lean citizen to his Flag. But one of
the reasons why this bond issue is
n success is because the business In
terests of this country have kept the
wheels of progress going and must
continue to do so Throughout the Pc
riod of the war. Money will be avail
able for bond issues only so long ar
this country is prosperous. but !
believe the public are realizing that
false economy would be disas-
trous.
"A salesman in talking to me re-
Gently on the outlook for business
voiced the sentiment that he hest
tated to go after business with the
same degree of energy, feeling that
at this time Difference should be
made to the Liberty Bond issue now
being placed on the market. This
man nad decidedly the wrong view
point. For instance, we have in our
home and allied plants a payroll of
approximately 10000 men. If in
our case we should fall to push our
business to the limit and in that
way keep money in circulation and
IL as q net result our factories We're
to be idle and men laid off, think OF
the tremendous purchasing market
for bonds that would be destroyed.
;It is the patriotic obligation
placed at the door of every business
man to-day to do all he possibly can
to keep business going to full ca
pacity, and he has just as much of
an obligation to the ultimate sue
cess of this war as the salesman who
is selling Liberty Bonds.
Together with that fact must be
remembered the fact that unless
business is kept up to top efficiency,
the Government will realize only q
small fraction of its anticipated re-
turn on the new excess profits tax.
The businessman who lays down to-
day is really working for the
Kaiser"

Simplicity and Essentials

plans for the National Shows in
January disclose striking instances of
the SOLDERING influence of the world
war" says General Sales Manager
John D. Mansfield, of the bort.
There will be most noticeable
absence of extremes in painting and
upholstering effects. While there
will be much substantial improve
ment and logical development in evil
dence, there will be fewer expert
mental ideas exploited.
People are in no mood for other
than solid, proven worth in the
cars they buy nowadays, and those
that will attract at the shows will
be those that offer intrinsic value as
opposed to eXtrinsic glamour"

During the season of Christmas shopping, great care should be taken not to unnecessarily expose yourself to colds that are likely to result in grip and pneumonia of the time, the sudden change from the close and suffocating air of the big stores to the street, are all dangerous.
 Doctors declare that this is one ex- planation for the annual increase of sickness at tAis season While this ar ticle is written to again call your at tentien to the value of Father Johns Medicine in treating ana preventing colds, grip and pneumonia, it will be of value to you and may save your life if it causes you to be careful to avoid the dangers we have pointed out. They are real dangers.
 And if we cause you to avoid the patent medicines, so many of which contain nerve -deadening and poison ous drugs, by again warning, you against them, it will be the means of saving your health.-Adv.

EAST SIDE FISH DISHES

After looking into the subject of fish consumption, Arthur Williams, Federal food administrator for New
 4o~as city, has reached the conclusion that the foreign population of the lower East Side understands best the possibilities of fish as substitute for meat. These new Americans eat more kinds of seafood than the rest of us and have organized distribution by pushcart, stall, and store. The Ital- fans eat fried squid, an excellent food which was only used for making a savory dish. Mussels are steamed and served with a slightly acid sauce and are said to rival the clam in flavor. East Side markets sell large quantities spf periwinkles. little snail-like crea-

ships during the day. The teams are not all in action as yet but during the next few days we will see a large DOT tion of the territory solicited
 Additional supplies consisting of buttons, leaflets and blanks have been received and can be obtained from Chairman Carpenter, Mrs. Rhoades, Mrs. Warren Hastings, or at the Epis- copal parish house. MT. Walter Lash ar, head of the state campaign has promised that all Stratford member ships wherever solicited will be cred tied to the Stratford chapter. In view of this fact 1t is desired that residents of Stratford who join through Bridge port solicitation in the factories or other places give that Stratford ad- dresses that there may be no doubt of their membership being credited to the Stratford chapter
 Chairman Carpenter addressed. the Red Men of the town in their meeting yesterday and 1t is expected that there will be a hundred per cent. enroll ment among their members as the Red Men are noted for their strong patriotic and unified action when a call like the /Red Cross is presented to them The new war board meeting was also addressed by the chairman.
 Stratford is to double it's present membership in the Red Cross during this drive which means total of about two thousand members. We have all got to get in this thing and back up our boys in their sacrifices for us fighting on the other side. This is the most direct way for any indivi- dual to care for our fathers, brothers and sons who stand between us and the Germa.-s.
 Reports coming in yesterday from the booths and from the house to house canvasers show that Stratford is awake to the necessity of the Red Cross campaign.
 The comSctee heads are very much pleased with the results so far ob- tained. The school children seem to have taken the idea to heart and are responding nobly.
 Stratford people must bear in mind though that the town quota is, a big one and it demands the support of every individual in town. Volunteer your dollar at the booths at your first opportunity if you haven't already joined.
