“Heap Big Mileage” results in much praise
from the members of the Savage “Tribe." We
are proud of having received hundreds of
letters like the following:
12,400 miles and going strong.
“H.ve driven to date 12.401 miles, and bjr the looka of the
casing it should go 5,000 miles yet. It is a Savage."—A. J.
Kellogg, Los Angeles.
Over 10,000 miles. '
"Have used a Savage Tire for 254 years—haye made 10,000
miles. It is still good for 2,500 more."—D. Q. Durbin, El
Cajon, California.
15.000 mile*, still in use.
"July 12, 191$, purchased Savsge Non-Skid tire. February 4,
1917, was still in use, while on opposite wheel we had worn
out two other standard makes of tires—Savage haa given
15.000 miles.”—George & Co., Lincoln, Nebraska.
11.000 miles, Savages all round.
"Have four Savages on my car. One has gone 10.814 milaa^

Calomel salivates f It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
■luggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable sub-
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go baok and get your money.

and “O Little Town of Bethle-
hem” will be sung.

GOMANS MASSING 6REATEST ARMY '
OF WAR ON WESTERN FRONT
Secretary of War Baker at
Washington, in his weekly re-
view issued Monday, says that
Germany has massed her great-
est army of the war on the Wes-
tern front.
To meet this menace the Unit-
ed States must speed up its mili-
tary preparations, the secretary
adds, with the warning that the
enemy is preparing to put into
execution in France plans which
he has been maturing since the
defeat of the Russian armies ear-
ly in the|war.
Peace negotiations with Rus-
sia have permitted the massing
of Germans on the Western front
for that purpose, says the Secre-
tary.
It is the apparent intention of
the Germans to start a gigantic
offensive in the West before the
United States has landed an ar-
my of appreciable size. No one,
outside of the military board,
knows how many men the Unit-
ed States now has in France. It
mays be a farce of 250,000, or
less.
Whenever Germany starts her
offensive no doubt the full Amer-
ican force, whatever it is, will
be held in readiness as reserves.

KICKING UP THE OUST OF AGES
How many of us realize what
wondrous scenery ther4 is to be
found in many sections of this
country—especially if one is wil-
ling to desert the usual by-waya
and seek out the devious paths
leading to something reaily
worth while. The Navajo In-
dian country in the great south-
west offers a splendid opportuni-
ty to the automobile tourist; a
trip that will long be remem-
bered for its unusual scenery and
historical associations.
The vast Navajo country con-
tains many ruins of pre-historic
cliff dwellings in the beautiful
Canyon de Chelly and Canyon de
Muerte. One of these ruins,
the White House, is especially
interesting,” writes A. L. West-
gard in the December issue of
MoToR. “Part of this region is
to agree that they fell where
they stood, and where they are
now found, mineralized, millions
of years later. The Petrified
Forest is a National Monument
and one is not allowed to carry
away specimens.”
Few Ksoap*
There are few indeed who es-
cape having at least one cold
during the winter months, and/
they are fortunate who have bet
one and get throug with it quick-
ly and without any serious con-
sequences. Take Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle, and
you are likely to be one of the
fortunate ones. The worth and
merit of this remedy has been
fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it
for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very
best results. It only cost a quar-
poetically called the Painted!ter-___
Desert by reason of the wonder-1 It i8 stated by William S. Tay-
fully colored cliffs and natural lor, associate professor of agri
monuments. South of the Nav-
ajo country lies the Petrified
Forest of Arizona, one of Amer
ica’s most noteworthy natural ex-
hibits, covering many thousands
of acres, which in coloring and
extent surpasses Kail similar de-
posits in the world. As one ap-
proaches the forest one finds
irst small bits of the bright-
med agatized wood, then larger
blocks and stumps, then trunks
of whole trees, some more than
two hundred feet long and two
:’eetin diameter, but disabuse
your mind of finding the trees
standing, they are all prone on
the ground. How did they get
there? The greatest geologists

creasing very 'largely the num-

of the State. He says, however,
that in East Texas, where the
rainfall was seasonable birds are
more plentiful than usual. He
predicts that on account of the
scarcity of the feathered tribe in
the drouth-stricken portions of
the State insects will be more
plentiful and destructive than
usual next crop season.
