country by purchasing produce from

Make Motor Trips Pay.
The Federal Highway council
point to the fact that thousands Of
motor trips are taken each week for
the purpose of recreation. The
arm-to-Table movement urges the
motorists to turn these trips to
good account in an unitarian way,
by purchasing eggs, butter, poultry
and fresh vegetables at the farmers
gate.
At the present time only very
small percentage of these motorists
over the stop at farmers gate to
purchase supplies.
The Federal Highway council
cherish the hope that all organiza-
tons throughout the country will
take up this movement and en-
courage the farmers to establish
road side markets, placing sign
boards at their gates showing what
they have to sell. Thus motorists
will not only be able to purchase
country produce, but will be able to
establish the feeling Of mutual bene-
fit and good fellowship. Z
Two Routes Picked.
According to c. v. King, who is
representing the Farm-T Table
movement in Omaha, with temper
airy headquarters at 2034 Farnam
street, he has been actively engaged
in securing data regarding various
farm routes for several weeks, and
at the present time two routes have
already been established where mo-

There were 2l9 cars carrying five
passengers, and only l64, and those
mostly small low-priced cars, which
carried more than five passengers.
In Chicago man standing on
Michigan boulevard in front of the
Art institute, counted 2,269 cars.
The proportion of machines carry
ing but few passengers proved to be
the same as in the other ninteen
cities. They ranked as follows; cars
with one passenger 616, with two

four passengers sos, five passengers

Want Lighter Cars.
In commenting on the results of
bis Investigation Mr.. Jordan said:
Everyone knows that the carryall
days of bulk and extravaganza in
motor cars are passing. We have
come to the day of the handy, easily
controlled cars of smaller passenger
capacity. Automobile owners are

Portable and economical cars.
People dos,not buy automobiles
today like graphophones, large
enough to entertain the neighbors.
Now our friends have cars of their
own.
These statistics show that on the
streets of the big cities all over the
country the most expensive cars
rarely carry more than three people.

Germany Losing Contracts

Berlin, Nov 15.-Germany is los

every week because the work of 1000
employees in peace time can hardly
be done by 1000 now, declares Com
mercial Councillor Mammoth of the
General Electric company in a pes
sinistic interview in the Lokal An
'zeiger. He sees Germany as a pa
tent recovering from fever-that of
the revolution-whose convalesencc
IS by, no means certain yet, and
whose temperature may suddenly
change SO that he will die.
Enforcement of the five-hour
working day, he adds, has cost Ger
man companies the loss of business

Keyway Repair.

When a keyway becomes worn
the first thought of the owner is to
file the channel larger and fit
larger key. To do this often weakens
the metal seriously and it may be-
found that a preferable way is to
weld new metal into the old slot
and then cut new keyway to fit
the old key.

After the Flu
Fever or Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly "tlu,'
lever or cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
Ii these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention 10 the stomach-thatis, remov-
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, SO that the body will
receive the full strength OF the food
eaten-a great deal OF suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease It.
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is poor
foundation to build iiew strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning those
poisonous aiter-effects right out OF the
system and they are obtaining wonder
fui results-so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
believable, just as shown in the re-

You should make the EATONlC test

You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the ''fiu" fever

taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full of pep

SO tesure 70 take a box OF EATONIC

it will not cost you penny. There is no

| Our trip up here took fourteen
| days. and during the whole time all it
did was rain, causing the roads to be
covered with mud We reached Eft

route we were not many days behind
the ferries. although there were
lanks ahead OF us. We passed
through the towns he had mined and
everything showed a hasty exit. The
towns were left in a filthy condition
in Lorraine and France, but in Lux
cmburg it was different This little
country had been neutral all during
the war, but had been occupied by
Germans. They left everything just
as it was, and the inhabitants do not
seem to have suffered at all Which
side they are for is hard to tell, but
they figure it is best to be on the side
OF the victors.
Luxembourg is country of rolling
hills and valleys, with some very
beautiful scenery, as far as such seen.
cry goes. II is cut up with wonderful
white roads which run in any direc-
ton they please, it seems, and ever
so often along the roads is little
town. The people who work the land
live in these little villages, and go out
to work each day. They do not live
on their farms, like in the States The
railroads are the same as in France
and the service is regular Germany
has better railroads than France and
better equipment, and one peculiar
thing Is the use of steel ties for the
tracks. They are used because wood
OF any kind is at a premium. All
buildings are built of stone with thick
walls, and are built to last hundreds
of years, it seems.
The first thing that one notes
about the people themselves is their
wonderful ability to raise prices. It
seems to come natural to them as
they can do il under your nose with
OuS vi SlON Vi any tlliS
being out of the way Enormous
prices are asked for anything to eat,
and anything else Yank tries to buy.
They take advantage of the Ameri-
cans ignorance of the changing of
marks and pfennigs and francs and
eentimes, and money seems to have
no fixed value A franc is worth about
1lcents, while mark is worth about
"A cents, and they lind it just as easy
to say one mark as one franc. All
German silver money is good, French
paper and silver is good, and, of
course, Luxembourg paper and silver is
all good, The latter money is copied
from the French. Between all of them
one can certainly get a pocketful of
junk. Some of the money is made of
zinc instead of silver, too. Believe
me, good old American dollar will
look wonderful when we get back. OF
course, a five or ten will look bet
ter.

and big touring cars and motorcycles
with their terrific speed are source
