Buick 1919 Models
 Have New Features

The Buick line for 1919 far surpasses anything previously produced by the great factories of the Buick Motor com pany. Three open body and three closed body designs are offered for the new season, and each chassis is equipped with the celebrated Buick valve-in-h head motor, six cylinders, 60 horsepower, brake test.
 The valve mechanism is automati- cally fabricated and the whole enclosed, thereby preventing accumulation of dust and consequent wear of bearings. New style top on all models with plate glass and nickel frames in all rear cur tains
 New style instrument board, with many desirable improvements; valve lift mechanism re-designed. insuring noise less action. Changes too numerous tc mention are incorporated in the new line, amply bearing out the slogan. When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them
 Our Buick demand" says MT. Scou- ten of the Birmingham Motor company. local dealers, continues unabated We never want for a place for every car we can secure. With the war oyer, and the company fast resuming its pre-waI activities, we feel sure that we can take better care of our prospective GUS toners during the coming spring and summer.
 "The mechanical superiority of Buick is unchallenged. and we cind the moA els of each succeeding year better than ever. We wonder often how improve ments can be effected or what will be the next thing the Buick engineers de velop to make the line more desirable"

THRIFT CAMPAIGN
 FOLLOWS NEW LINE
Propaganda Goes Much Further Than Mere Buying of Thrift Stamps This Year
By Associated Pryss

Washing gton, February 15.--A broader | field for thrift propag ganda this year | than the mere selling of stamps has been chosen by the National War Saw ings organization, and it's district and are instructed, it was announced to- day, to preach practical reasons for intelligent saving, wise spending, avoidance of waste and safe invest ment.
 To this end, activities of the War Savings organizations will include pub lication of circulars teaching thrift, organization of War Savings societies, establishment of courses of thrift study in schools and colleges, cooperation with libraries in encouraging reading of thrift material, and with industries to promote saving among employees.
 Practical thrift, says guide book is- sued for War Savings workers, con- sists in these four practices:
 '1. Wise spending, preceded by thought to make certain that the pur- chaser gets his moneys worth in com modity. comfort, service, recreation or advancement. It implies the balancing
 of all needs, present and future and of means of meeting those needs, and 1 then spending in such way as to meet l the most urgent needs.
 "2. Intelligent saving, which consists l largely of foregoing ill-considered or | foolish presenl expenditures in order l to be able to secure in the future
 either necessities or even more sub
 stantal luXuries. Such saving is the opposite of mserliness.
 8. Safe investment. With War Saw l ing Stamps an absolutely solid and at- l tractive investment and also the most
 effective mechanism for saving small
 sums regularly. stress naturally will be I placed upon investment and other gov l ernment securities.
 A. Avoidance of waste, which is as
 important to the nation in peace as 1T
 war"
 The first step to inculcate these four principles, says the guide book, 'is t( encourage people to think before they | spend" It adds: ''The thoughtfu
 spender gets more for his wages anC
 therefore really gets more for his worl

 tie. Glorious News

It costs a good deal to consult spe- cialist now days, but his prescription for rheumatism can be had at any of our home prescription druggists at slight cost. by asking. for the number C-2223. It is liquid, taken internally as per dose pasted on the bottle. One of our down town druggists says C-2223 quickly drives out of your system all the uric acid and impurities that cause rheumatism., At the same time the our readers suffer from bone pains, swollen muscles or joints backaches, pains all over the body, dizziness lum- bago, or any form of rheumatism or blood poison are advised to ask any Prescription C-2223. We never can tell the good it will do us until we try it. We understand our home druggists will give us back the slight cost of C-2223 if it don't benefit us, so it seems well worth while trying.
