SPRUCIX; UP THE FLIVVER
How abcu* your motor car? 01*
course you R her lose class some
what duringthe war. It was unpat
riotic to use labor or paint on y?ur
, car at a timewhen American industry
wa* working at top speed to produce
the material necessary for the win-'
ning of the ;var. )
But the var is over. Labor is n?> J
longer scape. In fact there are
lO.OOt! soldi irs being dismissed every 1
day from :he service, and thesej
men will hive rather a difficult time
of it until the industries of the
country- car reinstate them into civi
lian jobs, Now is the time to spruce
up that motor car, to put that neces- j
sary coat 01 paint on and to overhaul :
it generally. You will be doing a pat- j
riotic service to the country in gotting j
a soldier or two to do this work for j
yen. Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant!
to the Secretary of War, recommends
the employment of ex-service men for
such reconstruction work.
There is no more need for emer-1
gency economy. Minor repairs add to j
the life of things. Paint adds life to
rhr> body of the car. Spruce up your
engine. Renew those worn parts. Your
car will go qiucker, will run smooth
er and wear on it will be lighter: "
Material^\krfc expensive . now?
paints, machine parts, cost more than
they used to a few years ago. But
they will save more than their value
in tfheir service to the car.
Dcr.'t wait for materials to come
down. They Won't. Rather is the con
trary to be expected. And if you wait
a little too long, you will have to put,
on an extra coat 'of paint, and more
parts will wear out. "Spruce up" your
car now.

NARROW VIEWS ON SABBATH
Philadelphia Preacher Advocates j
Personal Liberty in Observ
ance of Day
Philadelphia, July 29.?Criticism
of those persons who try to force
their own idea of Sabbath observ
ance on others, was made Sunday
by Rev. Dr. George F. Pentecost,
in a sermon delivered at the Beth
any Presbyterian Church, Twenty
second and Bairibridge streets where
he is pastor.
"It is not right," said Dr. Pente
cost," that the minority of people
in a communitly or in a country
should force their views on the ma
jority. Christians, who make up
from one third to less than half of
the population of this country, have
no right to say how the rest of the
people should spend their Sabbath."

ADVERTISING
FROM THE
U. S. Department of Labor
If you are not advertising, then advertise because
it saves money for you and it reduces the price to
the consumer.
*
Advertising prevents profiteering. It insures
honest profits and makes them permanent.
The jnessage of the U. S. Department of Labor to
merchants and manufacturers and to all progres
sive American business men is to advertise.
Tell the public about your goods. The consumer
has plenty of money. He is willing to spend it and
we want him to spend it on American-made pro
ducts. The easiest, quickest, and most economical
way in which this can be accomplished is by adver
tising.
Start your campaign right how.
