Sharp Practices Cannot Endure.

For eight years we have been distribut-
ing Victrolas in Muhlenberg. and our faith
in them is much stronger now than when
we secured the agency, for the decision
reached then, after an exhaustive study of
all machines on the market, led US to the
Vicsrola. and its performance has given
most complete satisfaction to every pur-
chaser, SO much so that from FIRST to last
machines sold by us are in the hands of
the original purchasers. The field is en-
larging rapidly. and in time practically
every home will have some sort OF mach

vital interest of every buyer. that most tho

representative stock of instruments and
records, and gladly give public demonstra-
tons. Records of all machines will be
played, and the most thorough investiga-
ton and comparison of both machines and
records should be made by you, and are
invited by US. No sharp practices have
ever been used by US in making sales. and
we will not resort to trickery. double

and statements followed by some deal
ers. Everybody gets square deal from
US, before and after sale, and we refer to

incentive and greatest asset in the contin-

is WORTH
FOLLOWING

You are practiclng economy when
you buy Victrola from Roark, for
the upkeep is nothing. Ask any of
the $50 Muhlenberg owners; also
ask owners of other machines what
they are paying for springs and 9TH

KnoCk=KneeS,

1t is unnecessary to describe
knock-knee, for the name is suffi
GENTLY descriptive and the deformity
once seen, cannot be mistaken for
anything else. The primary cause
may he changes in the thigh bone,
in the large leg bone, or in the foot.
The thigh bones are separated at
their upper ends by the width of the
pelvis and incline obliquely, so that
their lower ends nearly touch at the
knees. Sometimes, through an alb
normal obliquity of the upper ex-
tremities of the shafts, the lower
ends come too close together and
"lnterfere," as they say of horses.
Sometimes the tlbla, or shin bone,
is bent, or its upper end, which en-
tiers into the formation of the knee
joint, is unevenly enlarged. That
throws the feet apart, and when the
person stands and tries to bring his
feet together, the knees knock and
prevent it.
A very common beginning of
knock-knee is fiat foot. In that
condition the patient, by walking on
the inner side of his feet, throws his
knees together and forces his feet
apart. After he has walked in that
manner for some time, changes &C.
cur in the bones of his knee joints.
On the inner side of the joint, from
which the pressure is removed, the
bone grows larger, and on the outer
side, where the constrainedF condi-
ton causes increased pressure, it
becomes atrophied. The deformity
almost always begins in childhood,
when 1t Is usually caused by the bone
changes that result from ricketts,.
When it occurs as consequence of
fiat foot, it makes its appearance
later, and comes on in young peo-
pie, especially in those whose occu-
patton compels them to stand good
deal or carry heavy weights.
Treatment varies somewhat with
the age of the patient. When knock
knee occurs in young child, the
legs should be strapped to spllnt
and the patient should moi be allow
ed to bear his weight on his feet.
If he suffers from rickets, that con-
dltion should receive appropriate
treatment. Later, when splinting
has Strengthened the joints, the child
may be allowed to walk about with
leg braces fitted with pads that press
lightly against the inner part of the
knee. In later life, when the tissues
are less plastic, the only remedy for
knock-Knee lies usually IN an opera
ton, in which the surgeon, by TAX
ing wedge shaped piece from the
inner side of the thigh bone straight
ems the limb. When the wound has
healed, the bone will remain straight.

What TO-day's Occasion Demands.

When the United States govern.
ment was founded there were grave
doubts as to its success.
The older nations called it vthe
great American experiment"
But the 142 years that have pass
ed since this nation was established
have been the most wonderful years
ever known by any government.
The 5000, 900 people then are
los 900, 900 now.
The original thirteen states are
now forty eight-and many of them
are more rich and powerful than
most of the European kingdoms.
This government, the product of
five generations of Americans, is I'M.
doubtedly the richest inheritance
ever handed down to any people.
Do you think you really appreci-
ate how much your government &C
tually means to you?
Have you ever stopped to think
that during every moment of your
life, waking or sleeping, the vigllant
eye of Uncle Sam is always watch
ing over you?
He has more might and majesty
than all the kingdoms of history
and all this might and majesty is
yours.
He is your faithful guardian: your
tireless servitor.
He makes safe the ocean lanes for
the way of the mariner.
He speeds the sure, swift flight of
the 3 cent letter.
He safeguards the perllous task
of the miner.
He smites the rock and the dead
waste of the desert teens with life.
He makes two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before.
He measures the heat of the stars.
He makes your money and he
regulates your time.
He is the conqueror of disease.
He fixes the standards of weight
and measure. He is the great record
keeper and the worlds master build.
err.
He Is teacher and lawglver and
judge.
He does a thousand things in a
thousand ways-and he does them
all for you.
And now he has turned warrior.
For your protection he has grappled
with the mad power that has trans
crossed the rights of mankind and
upset the peace of the world.
He wants to borrow your money,
and you should lend it to him.
Your duty to your country is fixed
as your obligation to your family.
This is literally true, because il
you do not maintain the integrity OF
your government your wife is no
longer secure in your home nor your
children safe in their school.
Mind you, Uncle Sam does no,
ask you to give this money, he
merely wants you to lend it.
| Every penny you can afford to
advance is that much saved for your
own use in the tranquil days when
humanity shall have emerged from
this agony of blood and carnage.
You may respond as freely as you
will In the assurance that your money
will not be used tor the hateful ano

TO STAND PAT

President Wilson Holds Freedom of

sary to World Wide
Peace.
[By Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff

lBy Carl D. Groat, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. President
Wilson plans to stand pat at Paris on
his definition of freedom Of the seas
as given in his famous peace with
out victory message to the senate
January 90, 1917.
In that speech he declared that 80
far as practical every great people
now struggling toward full develop
rment of its resources and of Its pow
ers should be assured direct outlet
to the great highways Of the sea-" Ii
this could not be accomplished by
cession of territory, he recommended
that 1t be done by naturalization OF
direct rights Of way.
He declared that great preponder-
ating ornaments" If continued would
rob the world Of sense Of safety and
inequality. These thoughts still con-
stitute the back bone Of the presi-
dents policy, it>was learned definite
| ~ today.
He stressed then, as he does now,
this idea:
The question of armament. whether
on land or sea, is the most immediate
ly and intensely practical question
connected with the future fortunes OF
nations or mankind.
Freedom of the seas" is absolutely
necessary to world peace, he then
held. There must be free constant
unthreatened intercourse of nations
Freedom of the seas he regarded as
closely connected with Limitation
of naval armament and the cooper
alton of the navies of the world" IN
keeping the seas free and safe.
''Under the question of limiting
naval armament" he continued,
"opens the wider and perhaps more
difficult question of the limitation OF
armies and of all programs OF mill
tary preparation.
Difficult and delicate as these
questions are, they must be faced win
the utmost candor and decided in a
spirit of real accommodation If peace
lis to come with healing in its wings
land come to stay"
