MODERN MOTOR PLANTS NOT
DEPENDENT ON KING COAL"
OR ANY OUTSIDE POWER.

The possibility of the automobile
industry assuring, overnight if nee
essary, complete independence
from any coal embargo or shortage
which might be caused by war or
calamity, was demonstrated during
the New York Automobile Show,
when the Maxwell-Chalmers Com
panies displayed at the Commodore
Hotel an industrial film which reveal
ed the fact that the organization is
up to any emergency which could
arise to interfere with motor car
production.
This film might be called in the
language of the drama, "The Works
Shall Not Close Down Tonight"
The scene was laid in the month of
December when the Federal Govern
ment not only declared an embargo
on coal but prohibited all automobile
manufacturers who had stocks of coal
from using them.
7. ]. Toner, Sales Director of the
Maxwell Chalmers Company, looked
over his mail on the morning the en-
barga went into effect and found a
hundred or more kilograms from
Maxwell Chalmers distributors who
were excited over the prospect of all
the big Detroit plants closing down.
Mr.. Toner held hurried conference
with w. Ledyear Mitchell, President.
Mr.. Mitchell's reply was:
"Our machinery must be kept run
ming, coal or no coal, at any cost. !"
And it ran.
Within twenty-four hours the fac
tory operating staff had hooked up
every essential machine in the plants
with either Maxwell or Chalmers
motors, mounted on stands. To these
driving wheels were attached by belts
and on the morning following the
clamping of the mo coaP' order the
Maxwell Chalmers factories were
running at normal production under
their own gasoline developed power.
All departments were going full
speed. The interesting industrial
film shown at the Commodore gave
a realistic view of the details of this
development. One single motor, for
example, operated two 500-ton press
es, which stamp the fender. Two
trucks, lacked up, operated belt
from the rear wheels to driving
shaft and ran the big turret lathes.
One motor operated giagantic fer
ris wheel on the assembly lines. So
the mammoth works, throughout
were kept going day and night.
The pay envelopes of the 10000
workmen, representing 10000 de-
pendents, were kept full and 1000
dealers were protected as to regular
shipment Of their cars.

Some time ago, compelled by
enormously increased costs IN pro-
duction, advertising and distribution,
we notified druggists that it would
be necessary for US to secure great
err returns from the sale of Nery-
Worth. Two methods offered them
selves: higher price to druggists,
or reduction in the size of our bot
ties. The latter course involved
delays incident to a change in bottles,
cases, etc., so we took the shorter
way and advanced the price to drug
gists. Dealers who bought at the
advance put up the retail price; most
of the others continued the sale at
S1.0O out of older stocks.
When we made the decision first
steps were taken to reduce the size
of Nerv- Worth bottles, in the hope
that thereby we could get back to
the old popular dollar price. Those
steps have now progressed to the
point where the necessary size
changes are in sight.
But a chance offers now TO do
something towards keeping down the
high cost of living for the immediate
present, at least, and effective jan
uary 1, 1920, we have enabled even
the druggists who bought Nerv-
Worth at the advance to sell
the preparation at once at one dol
lar instead of waiting for the size
changes to be made.
In our plans to reduce the bottle
contents, we are not seeking to cover
all the loss entailed by vastly higher
costs. To continue giving the public
big dollar bottle of Nerv- Worth we
are making a costly sacrifice. Our
existing Nerv- Worth bottle contains
16 ounces and is one of the largest Of
it's class. The new one will not be
disappointingiy smaller. NerkrtheH
less, until it comes Nerv-W Worth
users will get the biggest medicine
bargain of the day by buying 16 OF.
bottles of Wentworth at a dollar.
And so again

a Charles own Resident speaks
Publicly for the Benefit of Charles
Town People.
If you have suffered fortunes from
kidney trouble,
Had experienced with different
remedies without relief;
If you we're finally cured through
a friends suggestion
Wouldn't you be grateful?
The following statement has been
given under just such circumstances
Mr.. Bell has used Doan's Kidney
Pills.
He publicly tells of the benefit he
has received.
His is simple act of kindness to
other Charles Town sufferers.
No need to experiment with such
convincing evidence at hand.
Mr. Bell speaks from experience.
You can rely on what he tells you.
Wm. s. Bell, s17 E Liberty street,
Charles Town, says: when my
back has been weak or lame or when
my kidneys have been inactive, |
have always used Doan's Kidney Pills,
which / get as Brown & Hooff's Drug

STILL IN THE RING.

After Fifteen Years of Strenuous
Battleing and Hard Usuage, Model
"F" Ford Shows up Smiling and
Sturdy.
In the salesroom of the Denk-
Thompson Company, Ford dealer in
Detroit, is Ford Touring car number
604, looking wonderfully youthful
and sturdy despite its sixteen years
of daily service. The car was ac-
copied as $4,000 on the purchase of
a new Ford Apart from style the
OLD timer is worth more than that
it "goes" and the motor is quite some
years this side of being pensioner,
but vogue in motordom has changed
since 1904.
Engines are no longer wound up
fro mthe side; steering wheels no
longer stick straight up into the air
and then too, eight horse power and
five gallons gas tanks aren't quite
sufficient for the modern motorist.
The faithful Ford has not outworn
its usefulness-it has merely out
lived itself. 1t is as tough as an old
Indian Chieftian, who would sport
himself around adorned in earrings,
feathers and moccasins among his
college-br stylishly clad offspring.
Noblest among them but of a differ
ent age.
And so with this Model ''F'' Ford.
What stories it might tell of follow
ing worn, rutted wagon roads, over
strange country perhaps, running
through creeks where bridges had
been. built, making its owners happy.
Detroit wasn't so much of town
fifteen years ago. 1t. was Henry
Ford's second year manufacturing
Fords in a factory; his company had
Just been organized.
1t is not known who the original
purchaser of this dependable old Ford
wa, or where he lived, whether in
New York or California, Michigan or
Florida. Six-O-Four may have trav-
eled al of the States in the Union.
But now it has returned to the place
Of it's birth, there to enjoy quiet,
respectable old age, while it keeps on
running and running and running,
and cheating the junk man.

VELVET JOE'S 1920 ALMANAC.

In his new Almanac Velvet Joe,
the genial philosopher of the tobacco
world, has collected a rich fund of
interesting information, timely sta
tistics, helpful suggestions, with his
own quaint, pointed comments on life
and things in general.
Printed in the old-fashioned al
manac style, and replete with splen-
did illustrations, this yearbook will
again take its place on home reading
tables with the dictionary and the
encyclopaedia. Throughout the for
ty-eight pages Velvet Joe offers an
swers to the hundred and one ques-
tions that invariably arise when fam
lily or friends converse.
Besides the usual wearther fore
casts, there are weather records in
different cities for each month and a
very interesting method of reading
the clouds. A mass of Government
statistics has been tabulated, includ-
ing facts showing the part which the
United States played in the world
war. For ex-service men there is a
chronological outline of the growth
and achievements of the American Ex-
peditionary Force that will be pre-
served for many years to come.
Velvet Joe has anticipated the Pres
idential election this year with a
summary of the popular and cleo
toraI vote for President in 1916,
which should settle many an argu-
ment and provide ammunition for the
political speaker.
For the motorist there is a concise
Interpretation of the automobile
laws in all States, compiled by rec
ognized authority; for the agricul-
turist there is a three-year compare
tive chart of the leading crops of this
country, together with the acreage
and productive value of farm lands
in other countries.
To help reduce the cost of living,
this almanac gives simpl CORRECTIONS
for making various home products
helpful hints to the housewife; and
and a practical home garden chart,
telling what to plant, when to plant
and how to cultivate.
School children will find Velvet
Joe's Almanac useful in preparing
lessons on current subjects, in judg-
ing character by handwriting and
many an evenings entertainment
through amusement, easily arranged
games.
Indeed, Velvet Joe's Almanac is
both an Information Bureau and an
Entertainment Bureau, and as much
is becoming more and more each
year an American institution.
From Velvet Joe's smiling face
and outstretched hand of welcome
on the front cover to his soliloquy
on the back cover, every page is
brimful of valuable reading.

Joe's/ 1920 Almanac can secure il

THE CANDIDATES.

They are leading them out, well
groomed, these horses of fine mettle
and good pedigree, that are to be
entered in the Presidential race of
1920. A race that will determine
the standing of our nation as the
spiritual leader among the League of
Nations, and to fulfill the destiny of
the English language with the Ameri-
can accent, to absorb and assimulate
all other languages and tongues.
w. ]. Bryan, somewhat handi-
capped by losing several races, but
neverless man who has lived ahead
of his party and the times. A maker
of issues and Presidents, and a build
er of platforms that have
served an easy passage for the trium-
plant Democracy to cross over into
the promised land-dry shod.
VIM. G McAdoo and A. M. Pal
mer, two students of national and in
ternational affairs-two earnest adj
vocates of the right, who can see both
sides of controversy, and who are
ready to accord justice to both capt.
tai and labor, but are not willing to
permit either to rule.
Herbert Hoover, Democrat IN
principal, if not by name and tradi-
ton.
Senator Underwood, man who is
able to grasp truths and apply them,
and who is able to solve problems
that are not alone peculiar to the
South, but are applicable to the
whole nation.
John w. Davis, as a skilful diplo-
mat and an international lawyer of
note would be able to hold our ma
ton as the leader amongst the ma
tons of the world to greater extent
probably than all others.
Champ Clark, the peoples champion,
and the party's defender.
Dark horses may enter the race
and one may win, and the Spirit will
try and keep in touch with the stu
alton. After all, it is issues and not
men that count. The Spirit may
change in its choice of favorites, but
in issues we are on the Interchangeable
solid rock of right. Just now we feel
inclined to enter A. Mitchell Palmer
against the field.
