ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY.

Economy and efficiency-the timely
watchwords of the hour-apply no less
TO motorists than to the mistress who
must watch for every opportunity to
conserve the nations food supply. Econ
omy is demanded everywhere, and one
OF the most effective ways for a motor
list to practice il is In the care OF his
tires.
Curb rubbing, rut driving and car
track riding are unavoidable at times
yet often Just little more care on the
part OF driver would have saved an
unnecessary bruise or needless
scratch.
Give thought TO your tires" advises
the service manager OF the Fisk Rub
Der company. "and many a small re
pair bill can be saved. Occasionally
drive into the Fisk service station and
have them inspected free of charge by
experts who understand tires thorough
ly. Fisk free service Is available to al
motorists irrespective Of the make oi
tires used, and the best part of II all
Is the fact that IL Is trained service Civ
en- cheerfully and courteously.
Fisk free service is the greatest boon
to tire economy known. 1t not only
instructs motorists how to prevent the
needless waste OF tire mileage, but aids
them in conserving every tire until II

VOTES FOR WOMEN !

To the women OF the City Of Toronto,
Canada. the men give the credit for the
$40 o00. 600 which has been raised there
for the various funds of war times.
The Canadian women have given 45,-
600 >of their men TO the trenches. VINO
is going to represent those OF THESE
women who have not the BALLOT
The men of Toronto speak with pride
of their women. When they are asked
10 tell something of Toronto's great
share i'm this war. they speak Of the
men who have gone and then, without
eyceutions. they speak of the women
After having given their men, these
women have gone into the munitions
factories TO supply those men with
shells. They have knitted and made
comforts for soldiers and sailors. They
have canvassed the city from house TO
house. The Womeu's Political Associa-
tions have done little but war work IN
these last three years. "The Wom-
ems Liberal Association has taken
under its wings, the big hospital here
l. and added comforts for the soldiers.
The women have done more to nell
in This war than the men who have
stayed at home. There is much more
universal sharing of the burdens Of wa
among the women than among th
men. No man is more insistent on car
rying this war thru, to success thai
are the women. They are bound to Sc
lit thru. There are no pacifists amon
them. The issue Of this war is NOR
important to the women than it is
the men.
