LETTER Dear Everybody: Why den’t you have a money saving talk with yourself and consider the subject of FURS? The very next time you think of going to Hartford or any other out of town place I suggest that you consider the expense. Now, I do not mean your expense, but the tremendous expenses of out of town furriers. They must triple their price to get even and why should they do the tripling at your expense? ‘ When you do buy FURS why should you buy rent and other tremendous ex- penses? .You can eliminate all the several added profits if you BUY RIGHT HERE IN NEW BRITAIN. Lower in Price and Higher in Quality is part of my service. A stock equal in style and quality to any one and Less—Much Less in Price. Think it Over. Thank You! E.

Dodge Brothers refrained, during the progress of the war, from any reference to the performance of the car in Government service. It seems proper now, however, to disclose the facts, because they are unusual facts—intensifying that good will which owners of Dodge BrothersCars havealways manifested. Dodge Brothers car was the only one of its class approved and adopted by the War Department. In a separate Ordnance Works, built especially for the purpose, costing millions of dollars and employing thousands of their skilled motor workmen, Dodge Brothers undertook an important duty designated by the War Department. Without the aid of their great motor organization, Dodge Brothers could not have fulfilled the heavy obligation which they were asked to assume by the Ordnance Department. The other service required of Dodge Brothers motor works, by the Government, was to continue 404-410 Main Street 'FOOD CONDITIONS IN BULGARIA GOOD they were forced to return to .

We can herdly realize that I of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before t{)ey are five, and one-half before they are fifteen ! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to con§estxons, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Cas- toria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher a8 it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind. M_‘Z Z Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of caped into Finland in large numbers. It would be almost certain death Good Vill Given-a New Impetus THE HARTFORD MOTOR CAR CO. to furnish their cars as they were needed. They were furnished, not in hundreds, butinthousands—both for the training camps here, and for service in Belgium, France and Italy. The record of those thousands of camp and army cars is one in which any owner may feel the utmost pride and satisfaction. Their performance justified the compliment implied in their selection by the Government. The great works in which nearly three hundred thousand of their cars have been produced in the past four years furnished a vast store-house of human energy and equipment for the ordnance work. ? Naturally, it will take time to adjust the motor works to its full accustomed activity. Gradually Dodge Brothers will resume the grateful task of con- tinuing to deserve the good will of America—and indeed of the whole world. DodgeBrothers consider good will their most valuable possession. They will never knowingly do anything to lessen it Hartford, Conn. =] F—] SURPRISE HER WITH A TEA WAGON There is nothing more suitable for a Christmas present.
