Genuine Ford Service—and Parts
I NSIST on Genuine Ford parts for your Ford ear. Mail order
houses, stores and many garages sell imitation—counterfeit
parts which have not the quality of the genuine Ford parts,
hut the Authorized Ford Dealers as well as the Authorized Sales
and Service Dealers sell only the genuine Ford-made Ford parts.
You are safe with them, while your car is mighty unsafe if re
paired with imitation parts. The real Ford parts are made from
the same properly heat-treated steel as their-counter-parts in the
Ford car. Every part is heat-treated according to its use. De
pending upon the service they perform, Ford parts are tempered
to insure the longest life. Tested after almost every operation
while being manufactured, these parts present a vast difference
from those not manufactured under Ford supervision. Counter
feit parts range from thirty to seventy-five per cent below the
qualityvP,f the Ford standard. Don’t take chances; demand Ford
parts, they’re safer. Bring your Ford to us and thus make “as
surance doubly sure.” If you want a Ford car, truck or Fordson
tractor, leave your order without delay, as now we can make fair
ly prompt delivery—Touring Cars, Coupes, Sedans, Runabouts,
Trucks and Fordson Tractors. Why not drop in and talk over
your wants?
BYvb years of famine h,ave resulted
In treatly Increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
war was counted as one of the health
iest cities In Europe. Figures prepared
by Dr. Gustave Bohn, head of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1913 the death rate was 15.3 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was, 22.5
per thousand, an Increase of more than
47 per cent.
Professor Hans Spel of the Uni
versity of Vienna, says that “even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con
dition of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-nourishment few moth
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only Infants, but
all children in spite of al. that has
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens Pirquet’s clinic In the uni
versity some 54,849 children were ex
amined In 1918. Only 4,637 of these
or about one-thirteenth were passed as
skin good, fat good; 23,609 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
“The health of these children shows
most disquieting features. Skin disease,
rachitis and Barlow’s disease are rife.
“The chief medical officer of Vienna
asks, ‘What Is going to happen to these
under-fed children, In whose bodies the
germ of tuberculosis Is latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
It becomes active?’ ”
To combat these conditions the Amer
ican Relief Administration of which
Herbert Hoover Is chairman fed last
winter In the city of Vienna some
300,000 of the destitute and under
nourished children.
The one optimistic note In the des
perate need prevailing through the war-
torn areas of eastern Europe Is the ex
traordinary and touching faith of the
people In the children. The elder gen
eration has put all Its hope and trust
In the future of the generation now in
Its early years. In fact. In many ln-
| necessary for maintenance of insti-
'tutions are lacking, but It has been
‘noted that always the request for out
side aid emphasises the needs of the
orphanages. How marked is this in
clination was Indicated by the fact
that one district of Poland the au
thorities, appealing to an American re
lief organization for assistance, asked
assistance for only one military hos
pital, four general hospitals and twen
ty orphanages.
The appeal has reached America
with the result that because they know
.that literally millions of European chil
dren face starvation and death from
disease unless the aid that only this
country can give is forthcoming, eight
great American relief agencies have
banded together under the name of the
European Relief Council to raise $88,-
000,000 needed to tide the baby genera
tion of Europe over possibly the most
critical winter It has yet faced. These
are the American Relief Administration,
the American Red Cross, the American
Friends’ Service Committee (Quakers),
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee, the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ In America, the Knights of
Columbus, the Y. M. CL A. and the Y.
W.C. A.
Europe shows what America means to the otherwise helpless childhood of tne
war-swept nations. Funds supporting these outposts of succor and other
agencies for the relief of children stricken by the disease caused by under-
nutrition have run out, and that the work may not cease, depriving millions of
the innocent of their only hope for life, eight great American relief organiza
tions under the name of the European Relief Council are banding together In
a joint appeal to the American conscience In their behalf. These agencies are

The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical of those In Poland and
other countries of Central and Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin

"The most aepiorabie sight ef ==
the miseries in Poland Is the condi
tion of the children,” Dr. Plotz said.
“Infant mortality is exceedingly high
because of under-nourishment and the
high percentage of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
I saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to go, begging for bread.”
Tuberculosis has become prevalent
among the Jewish children, largely
due to the overcrowded conditions la
which they are forced to live, their
lack of nourishing food and warm
clothing, according to Dr. Plots.
_. r , which killed thousands of
Jews last winter In the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen will recur again,
he said, as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
“Favus, a contagious skin disease,
Is now rapidly spreading from child
to child,” he continued. “In Vilna
there are 11,000 cases among the Jew
ish children alone. Smallpox, too, Is
prevalent hrotighout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature,
have been seen running about the
streets. There are thousands of cases
every year, which vaccination would
prevent, but there is no vaccine.”
Dr. Plotz told how In Lithuanian
villages be found children, six and
seven years old, unable to walk or
talk, the result of malnutrition. In
regions where whole towns had been
destroyed during the war, he found
families crowded in miserable dug-
