Writing to the Men in France

If you want your letter to reach
your soldier friend in France, be sure
to supplement the name with the
phrase, American Expeditionary
Force" and do not merely write "a.
E. F." at the bottom of the envelope.
This will insure it's reaching the ad-
dressee. Otherwise it may go to some
Australian soldier, who also belongs to
an "A. E. F." The precaution is easily
observed. We are prone to take it
for granted that there is only one
"a. E. F." in France, but the Austria
lians were there long before we reach
ed the scene of the fighting. Mark
your letters plainly with the full title
of the American force, and the mail
will eventually be delivered. Do not
expect your soldier to get his letters
as quickly as if he were in New York
or even in California. There are
several hundred thousand "Sammies"
in France, and millions of letters are
going out to them weekly. They are
being shifted about from one sector to
another, from camp to camp and from
billet to billet, and it takes much man.
agement to keep the mails straight.
Do not grumble and complain of the
slackness of the postal system if your
soldier does not get his letters separ-
ately. 1t may be necessary to make
deliveries in bundles. Just write and
keep writing and trust to the service.
Remember, a war is in progress, the
biggest war in the history of the
world, and it is remarkable that let
tiers get to the men at the front at
all But it is worth while writing for
every letter that reaches your soldier
makes him a better soldier and heart
ems him for the fight that must be
waged to make our own country safe
from the devastating Hun.

Proper Food for Weak stomaehs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also i'm
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become consti-
pated or when they feel dull and stu
pid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in eff
feet.

Palmer, since Mrs. Palmer's death the
other day. Potter Palmer was man
of business genius and after an ordi-
nary business lifetime accumulated an
estate of million dollars. Sixteen
years later this property in Mrs. Pal
mer's hands turns out 16 million dol
lars, largely, Chicago report says,
thru the "unearned increment" of real
estate. Where land appreciates most
rapidly, as in New York City, authori-
ties are adopting taxation policy
that in another generation will greatly
curtail the opportunities of increasing
wealth from rise of land prices, and
this policy will extend over the coun-
try. 1t consists in gradual increase of
the tax on land value and reduction of
the tax on improvements on land.

TRUCK DEALERS
. REAL PATRIOTS
They Increase Efficiency of Trans
portation and Thereby Help
the Government.

Just now every loyal American
realizes that our whole success in the
war depends on how t.Iickly we can
expand our transportation facilities;
how quickly more ships can be built;
how quickly we can develop greater
railroad transportation. But first is
the question of how quickly We can
develop motor truck transporta tion,"
says T. S. Carmody. president of the
Henderson Motor Co., distributors Of
the DENLY Truck.
Let the dealer who Is not familiar
with the desperate need that there Is
for motor transportation relief make
a tour of the railroad and boat ter
minals in his territory and see how
many trucks are waiting their turn
in line to load or unload. Let him OBJ
serve on the country roads how many
so-called heavy duty trucks are re-
turning empty. He will then realize
that the great motor truck movement
which is sweeping all over the coun-
try not only gives each truck dealer
an opportunity for a profitable busi-
ness but literally calls on every dealer
TO do his bit in informing the business
men and merchants in his territory of
the economy Of motor truck transpor-
tation with an economical truck.
Let the passenger car dealer select
list of his customers in his territory
who have not yet had the advantages
of motor truck transportation brought
TO their attention and let the dealer
send them a series of circular letters
pointing out the advantages and econ
omy of motor trucks and further
pointing out that II is not only prof
by motor truck but 1t is also a distinct
patriotic service at this time. That
dealer will be surprised at the increase
in his business.
Dealers who do not realize the op-
portunity that is before motor truck
people today should visit the DENLY
factory. There they will learn. IL they
don't already know. what a tremen-

too slow for transmitting today's
business information while even the
telegraph is giving way to the long
distance telephone
Freight is too slow for moving to-
days merchandise. Express shipments
In carload lots are common. And In
the automobile business even express
shipments are losing out to deliveries
Of cars overland under their own pow
er. On short hauls and even long
ones the motor truck Is delivering the
goods fast and cheap:
The street car, interurban and sub
urban train are too slow In taking
today's business man from his home
to his ofiice and about town in the
course Of his work. Only the modern
passenger car Is fast enough and re-
liable enough for this service.
Men are thinking faster, doing
more. 1t shows in a thousand ways.
For instance, compare the brief. busi-
ness like. straight-to-the-point letter
OF today with the howery. meandering
message Of even q few years ago.
Even in ordinary conversation men
say more in fewer words. Decisions
arc made fast. Things are moving 90
rapidly these days that opportunities
must be grasped quickly or they slip
away.
The automobile typifes this age
and helps it accomplish more In less
time to a greater extent than almost
any other agent OF our modern civ
ilization. Eliminate the automobile
and you will slow up the whole course
of business to a point where we will
all be returning to the slow order OF
