The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, was so successful in Miss
Kelly's case was because it went to the
root of her trouble, restored her to
normal healthy condition and as a result
her nervousness disappeared.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH RELIEF
COMMITTEE FOR SUFFER-
ERS FROM THE WAR.

New YORK: Inc tortureS VI tne sick
in Warsaw, because Of the utter lack
of facilities in the hospitals there, are
described as terrible by Mr.. Bern
ard Norwich, of the Joint Distribution
Committee of American Funds for Re-
lief of Jewish War Sufferers, in re-
port which has reached the American
Jewish Relief Committee headquarters
here.
He says that the dispensaries, as
we'll as the hospitals, are in "horri-
BILE" condition; and that fully half the
Jewish population Of 325,O00 10 de-
pendent on charity.
While the American Jewish Relief
for the coming years needs, the stor-
les of terrible conditions in middle and
eastern Europe especially are rousing
the campaign workers to redoublsd ef-
forts.
Warsaw's Jewish population furn-
ishes but q single example OF this
great need for relief.
AT the beginning Of the war;" Mr..
Norwich states, "the thousands OF ref
ugees that sought shelter in Warsaw
were we'll cared for; but eventually
the burden became too great and this
resulted in most severe suffering.
Nov twenty per cent Of the Jewish
population 10 entirely dependent on
relief, thirty per cent in part depend
ent; while only fifteen per cent can be
classed as well-to-do. and those Of the
remaining thirty-fve per cent, belong
ing mostly to the middle classes. are
self-supporting.

the former small merchants, their
clerks and other employees. Tho for

were discharged en- masse BY tho Pol

According to my information about
$4,000 portions Of soup are distributed
daily by the public Kitchens.
"For the purpose Of distribution OF
the cash relief. and with view to ef-
fecting reliable registration Of the
poor, the city is divided into eight dis
trict committees which is engaged in
its series of State campaigns in this
country to raise total relief fund Of
thirty-fve million dollars. Each Of
the district offices supervises the dis
tribution Of the cash relief within the
district limits, keeps Q register Of the
poor receiving aid, and Q reliable rec

The writer was accompanied by
some Of tho American Mission offiiess
who were detailed to investigate con.
ditions; and in discussing the general
economic condition In Wilma, and the
circumstances to which many once
wealthy Jews have been reduced, he
cites the following incident:
Desiring to have the American Of
ficers intimately acquainted with the
Jewish representatives in wilma I had
arranged with them to dine at . priv
ate Jewish home. I counted on many
Of my friends, who, I knew. had been
very rich before the war; but In oil
wilma, even among the richest Jews, I
could not find q single family in posi-
ton to invite the American officers
for dinner. When I made the propo-
sition to one Of my friends whom !
knew to have been very rich before
the war, he Redeemed with embarrass-
ment and muttered something,
shamefacedly, about his house being
in the hands Of the military. I receiv-
ed similar replies from others. I no
ticed that they wondered at my naiv-
cite. And finally I was compelled to
take the American officers to pub
lie restaurant for dinner"
The dread, the uncertainty Of what
the morrow may bring, was reflected
the report says, in the faces Of the
members Of the Relief Committee
including DR.. Yankov Wigodsky, Dr.
Shabsd, H. Gordon, Yankov Sheskin
Jaffe, (the Zionist) and Niger, the

Why? Because the foreign motor

a self-contained, independent source
of ignition current. 1t has nothing to
do but furnish the spark for ignition,
and it does this better than any other
known means.
A battery is very fine and neces-
sary part of an automobile; without
it there would be no electric starting.
But the battery wears out; hence 1t
cannot be relied upon to furnish the
vital spark for ignition.
The magnetic, on the other hand,
outwears the car itself. For starting

OF his belt. Back in 1914 Baker and
his Indian tasted the sweets Of this
honor only to surrender the crown to
Alan T Bcdcll and n Henderson. But
the fighting spirit Of the old warrior
would not let him rest with the hon
or resting in another camp, so he left
the Atlantic coast the same fall, at
tempting to regain the laurcls. He
made Il hard try but was forced to
give up the attempt about 500 miles
from the finish. Baker still had hop",
saying he'd get it yet. June IS of
this year he jumped out Of Now York
City with colors flying, determined to
cut the trip to six days. Out in New
Mexico he found his old "Jinx" wait

NEWS ABOUT TIRES
Solid Tires Increase in Popularity
Motorists Like Tires That Are
-Changeable

Tire dealers in small towns are
showing an increasing tendency to
nut in line of solid truck tires.
This is largely due to the impetus
given to the motor truck industry
during the war period, and the de-
mand even in small towns for solid
tire service facilities. The most OK
penaivc part of the installation Of the
line is the purchase of press, but
the opportunity for good business is
overcoming this difficulty.
Car owners appreciate type of
tire tread which makes it possible TO
use the tire on either front or bach,
wheels. There come times when it IS
desirable to change the tires about,
and the owner regards it as import
ant to be able to make the change
without changing AL round. Another
advantage is that it is necessary to
carry only one spare.

HUNTING FOR BARGAINS
The result of the discussion was
that he and his neighbor decided to
pool their resources and do joint
buying. AS they both owned Fords,
the matter Of buying on this side of
the town or that was of little concern
to them. They exchanged information
about bargains here and there, and,
as one of them was in the wholesale
line, he was in position to get Il deal
of inside information about the
state of the market and where to go
for this or that. In every city there
are Wholesale houses and even
manufacturers not supposed to do
any retailing, which have a back door
open for the lowly consumer who
comes in with cash in his fist, Be-
sides, there is an ulwritten law of
courtesy, very widely, if not univer-
sally accepted, whereby an accredited
attachc of a wholesale house may
secure from any other, in almost any
line, retail purchase at wholesale
price.
The two ncighbors established reg
ular connections of this kind in GER
tain food stutfs, shoes, clothing, and
even went so far as to buy perishable
goods, especially during the canning
season, in this way.
In dealing with farmers, our COR
respondent says that he has had no
success. The city dealer always came
down in price when he demanded it,
but the farmer refused to do so. Then
too, he found that the farmer often
charged more for his wares than the
same quality and kind of stock was
selling for in the city. So he came
to the conclusion that the farmer cam
not be Skinned" We venture to
say that he went out into the country
with the old fashioned idea that the
tilltI vi IllC SOll was IlO IIlttIClI
for the city man and was surprised to
find the farmer as keen a business
man as himself. Many people have
had very good luck in dealing with
farmers. However, the writer recalls
a certain village in Wisconsin where
the storekepr used to send to Milwau-
kee for his strictly fresh eggs.
The object of this article is to
exploit the idea of opportunc buying
as a means of making your Ford pay
part of its upkeep expense. 1t is a
good idea, and though there are
many kinks in it which must be work.
cd out by the consumer, it will not
only be made to pay in the long run,
but will add business objective to
pleasure trips which will make more
interesting both business and pleas
ure.
