behind the lines as did the boys at

the influenza bacilli-ten to one he
will have close shave if his kidneys

often cause an inflammation of the
kidneys-either at time Of attack or
afterward. It is due to natures
effort to throw off the poisons.
When you are troubled with back
ache, or headache-when your kid

must relieve them, as well as your
bowels. Ward off serious troubles
at once by obtaining at the drug

had engaged De Wolf Hopper for
the part Of Old Bill in the Chicago
company, which opens at the Illi-
nois theater toward the end of Feb
ruary. The engagement of MIR. Hop
per adds a fifth to the coterie of

original Old Bill, creating the part
at the Greenwich Village theater
when the Bairnsfather comedy
opened in New York on October l9,
1918. The next Old Bill was James
K. Hackett, who opened in the
play at the Princess theater, Toron-
to, on December 80. Edmund Cur
ney was the third. He is playing
the part at the Hollis Street theater
in Boston now. The fourth Old
Bill was Maclyn Arbucgle, who
heads the cast at the Broad Street

Bill and he opines that the part

GMC Trucks at Pre-War Prices

The announcement of reduction of $3.50 in the price of
the GMC Model 10, ton truck is good news to truck
buyers.
Back of this action is interesting story of war produc
ton of which little has been told.
The General Motors Truck Company is one of the largest
builders of motor trucks Prior to the close of the
fully 9O% Of its production was for the government
But it was building CMC trucks for the government
GMC models selected by the government
The enormous government demand made extensive inn
provement in manufacturing facilities necessary The
capacity doubled and trebled and every possible
efficiency measure adopted
With war orders completed we have proceeded without
factory changes alterations in design-we contn-
ung quantity production.
We are making the same high grade trucks that the
government selected and standardized after they had
been proved by years Of government service and had
successfully stood every test under official scrutiny
The reputation that CNIC trucks have made not only in
government service but among the best business con-
Germs throughout the world is one we are proud Of
We cannot afford to- and will not cheaper trucks in
any particular; constantly make them better when
we can.
But and have reduced the price all six models
of GMC trucks the lowest point consistent with their
high quality and legitimate manufacturers profit.

efficiency. Nobody is able to welcome

Then the operator accepts it as mo

Evil routine is a model exponent of
efficiency. This is approved in some

vision is converged, discernment mod

over all some stars are eclipsed.
When efficiency is not too much in

why do so many marriages end in
! failure? This disturbing query is usu-
ally answered by the assertion that
great Numbers of married couples are
nismated and their union mistake
But does Nature make so many mis-
takes as the divorce courts OF the
country indicate? Hardly. Rather
the fact is that thousands who make
a mess of marriage, do so through ig-
norance or disregard of the laws and
principles that make marriage beali-
tiful and permanent,
In every case, marriage-love is ere
ated by courtship; that is, by appre-
citation, attentions, praise, courteSles
and tender services. These constitute
the cause of marriage-love; the effect
is marriage itself How can the eff
feet be continued permanently if the
cause be discontinued? It is a physi-
cal impossibility for marriage happl-
ness to continue permanently without
the employment of the principles of
courtship. You cannot create some
thing out of nothing, or rear beautt-
full flowers from vacuum, Day by
day and week by week you must, a.
least to some degree, re-create mar
riagelove by Natures one and only
process, tender services, praise, con
sideration for the others welfare, and
absence of criticism.
Did YOU ever know courtship to
grow and thrive on criticism and nag
ginc? No more will marriage-loye
grow and thrive on these whitening
clements. Don't forget that you must
work for self-improvement in order
to be successful in marriage. Dur
ing the courtship each is, consciously
or Unconseiously, working for sell
Improvement to attract the other. You
have got to keep it up, if you wish
to win out permanently in the mar
rage game. Don't forever by trying
to improve your partner; improve
yourself; develop new attractions Of
mind and body; it will keep you busy,
you need it, and it's a good thing to
do as a general proposition, Win
and hold the other by selfimproVe-
ment, and keep on counting. That IL

Building There.

For more>t than third of century
the United States government has
been striving tn provide channel in
the lower Detroit river that would
prove equal to the constantly increas-
ing demands of marine interests on
the great lakes.
The conquest of the Lime Kiln
Crossing some fourteen miles below
Detroit, and the most troublesome
spot on the inland seas, has kept gov
eminent engineers busy for years,
made contractors wealthy and furnish
ed employment for hundreds of skilled
drill and dredge men.
Were all the collisions, groundlings
and other accidents that have taken
place In the vicinity of the Lime Kiln
Crossing to be enumerated, the show
ing would be Impressive. Now this
most perplexing problem of removing
this hindrance to further marine de
yelopment is well along toward "a solu-
ton that will, 1t is confidently pre-
dicted, eliminate trouble for all time.
The change is being brought about
through one OF the most remarkable
engineering feats on record, which in
wolves nothing less than the construc-
ton of the greatest Golfer dam the
world has ever known. the pumping
out of an area more than mile in
length and approximately one-third OF
mile in width. and cutting In the dry

river bottom O course 300 feet In width
and a mile In length that will, when
completed. accommodate the largest
