business merchants all over
ID America know that their Gus
toners cannot be satisfied with old
fashioned or make-shift delivery
methods.
They are the men who have in
stalled modern delivery equipment,
designed solely for the delivery of
your merchan disc the Vim
Delivery Car.
Business applis ices and methods
have grown wonderfully in the last
few years because merchants real
ize that in order to keep prices down
they must reduce the cost of doing
business
For instance, gasoline, tires, re-
pairs and time are the important
items in operating a motor delivery
service.
A converted pleasure car which
eats its head off with running costs
and spends half its time in the re-
pair shop is not profitable for
merchant nor for his customers.
The answer is car which is built
primarily and solely for delivery
purposes the Vim Delivery Car
without a pleasure car part in its
whole sturdy makeup.
The Vim will work every hour of
the working day-and work at the

A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack
your liver falls to perform it's fun
ctlons. You become constipated.
The food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead Of digesting. This
lnflames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible
headache. Take three of Chamber
lain s Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as we'll as
ever. They only cost quarter.

No Basis for Many Plants.

In many of the cases Investigated
IL was found that the complaint had
no basis in fact, the soldier having
forfeited the pay claimed, either by
misdemeanor or allotment. not dis
closed in the complaint. He said he
could not understand the cases report
ed in the newspapers that accrued pay
had been withheld from wounded and
sick soldiers sent from France to this
country for treatment. Those men
were entitled to every Consideration
under the regulations and practice Of
the Department and IL they failed to
receive in France all the money that
was due them it should have been pro-
Vided by the nearest accessible quar-
termaster in this country.
Gen. Lord said any case of the kind
reported to the Department would be
promptly Investigated and full justice
done without delay, hut that he could
not investigate general statements
where names or other essential details
are lacking,
Account Kept for Every Army Man
Under the present system, adopted
as recently as last spring. an up-to-
dates pay account is kept for every
man In the Army. 1t is in the form
of pay card containing the name and
number of the soldier and a detailed
statement of his account, including
aIlotmentS for war risk insurance,
liberty bonds. etc. as well as forfeit
ures, deductions and payments of all
kinds. Under ordinary conditions these
cards are kept by the personnel on
Ger of each unit When a soldier is
transferred or detached his card is
turned over to the officer in command
of the party. If the soldier travels
alone the pay card is entrusted to him
for delivery to the personnel officer at
his new station.
By that arrangement, said Gen.
Lord. the pay account of every soldier
is Immediately available and If he is
entitled to any money he can get it
from the nearest quartermaster In
addition. soldiers are advanced money
for travel expenses and will get what
ever is due them when they reac
their destination. Gen. Lord said thai

ARMY, IN charge of the financial di-

office, which includes supervision over
the accounts of enlisted men OF the
Army, says that II there have been
delays In the payment Of some OF the
soldiers It is only the natural result
Of conducting war on large SCALE
and not the fault of the Army pay
system Every human effort is MADE
to pay the soldiers regularly ana
promptly, he said, but when they are
constantly moving from point to point
on the field of battle it sometimes
happens that the paymasters cannot
keep up with them. Furthermore
under such conditions 1t is more inn
portant to feed the men and look
after their physical welfare than It
is to pay them OF at regular inter-
walls.
The pay department of the Army
recognizes that the men are entitled to
their pay when it Is due, regardless OF
the necessities of the case and acts on
that principle whenever it is possible.
The present strength OF the Army makes
that an enormous undertaking, how
ever, and delays are inevitable in some
cases.

Frequent Shifts of Men.

Considering the large number Of new

Lord said there had been comparatively
little delay in keeping the accounts Of
the soldiers up to date.
He admitted that there had been
cases where the men had not received
their pay for two or three months, but
that was an unavoidable incident Of the
rapid transfer of over q million men to
separate stations in strange territory
under war conditions.

impossible to deal with general state
