The Smith ‘Form-a-Truck is an attachment which
combines with any Ford chassis to make 2 fully guar
anteed one ton truck. It fits over the Ford chassis
throughoutitsentire length—givesa truck with a wheel
base 125 inches, and a loading space back of the
driver’s seat of nine feet.
It is strongly built cf the finest materials,
“The frame is steel, channel section four inches deep.
Rear wheels are 32 x 3l with Firestone solid truck
type tires, with twelve spokes in each wheel.
The drive is by double chain and sprocket, with Ford
rear axle used as a jackshaft.
The Smith Form-a-Truck attachment carries 90% of
the load, giving the members of the Ford chassis less
work to do than when they are used as a touring car.
Service records show a gasoline consumption aver
aging 12 to 18 miles per gallon, tire mileage of 6to 8
thoasand miles per setand practically no cost for repairs.

PRESENT BUSINESS OF
U. S. UNPARALLELED
{ Washington Aug. 25.—How the war
‘has affected the world’s business is
‘detailed in a statement compiled by
‘the Department of Commerce for
Chairman Simmons of the Senate
Finance Committee. The following
general conclusions are given:
“Business activities were fairly nor
mal in the various countries of the
world during the two years preceeding
the outbreak of the war.
“In every country including the
United States there was a decided de
cline in business activity after July
1914.
“The period of business depression
following the outbreak of the war
lasted from four to six months in most
of the neutral countries. In the bel
ligerent countries the upward trend
did not begin until the last few months
in 1916.
“The United States at the close of
the period April 1916, had entered
upon a period of business activity that
had no parallel in the history of the
country.” -
Complete figures could not be ob
tained for all countries but the report
contains the most complete statistics
and diagrams issued on the subjeet un
der one cover since the war started.
McCORMICK CONFIDENT.
Chicago, Aug. 26.—Vance C. McCor
mick, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, came to Chicago to
day and confered with Senator Thom
as J. Walsh, manager of Western head
quariers. Later he met a number of
nationa: committeemen and state chair
men.
Chairman McCormick expressed him
self as well pleased with the report
received from the Central and Western
states.
“Mr. Hughes has undertaken an im
possible task when he tries to har
mcnize the standpat Republican lead
ers with the Progressives,” said Chair
man McCormick. “It is like trying to
mix oil and water. Imagina the dif
ficulty encountered when one attempts
to satisfy the Progressives on one
hand and placate stand-pat leaders like
Smntt, Crune and Penrose. ° That is
exactly what Hughes is up against.
Nobody living can do it and that is
the weakness of the Republican posi
tion in this cainpaign. Meanwhile, the
Democrats are busy in Washington

GIRARD WITNESS CFAD
FROM A BULLET WOUND
Columbus, Aug. .s.—Rumors that W.
D. Perry, former city marshal of Gi
rard, Ala., was shot from ambush in
stead of being fatally wounded by ac
cidental discharge of his pstol, were
being investigated by Girard police to
day. Perry, who was wounded while
on his porch at Girard, last night, died
today. :
F'erry, who preceeded Marshal J. T.
Oakes, who recently was convicted of
bribery, was a witness in many cases
against men charged with violating
Alabama liquor laws.
At a special meeting at Girard today
the members of the board of council
resigned and a new board was sworn
in with W. C. Whitaker as mayor pro
tem. Mayor Morgan, whose name had
been connected with the liquor inves
tigation, did not resign. Council voted
to discharge City Marshal John T.
Oakes, recently convicted of violating
prohibition laws, and J. W. Lawrence
was elected to succeed him.
SUBMARINE ATTACKS

class. The :ommanding officer re
ports that while the ship was being
escorted by five destroyers back to
harbor in a damaged condition he at
tacked again and striick her wth a
second torpedo and beleves -she was

CHURCHILL UNCERTAIN
AS TO END OF WAR
London, Aug. 24.—There is no cer
tainty of the speedy ending of the Eu
ropean war, in the opinion of Winston
Spencer Churchill, formerly first lord
of the admiralty who initiated a de
bate on the conduct of the conflict in
the House of Commons today. Ger
‘man armies were more numerous than
ever and better equipped, he declared,
but what reserves they had was an
other matter.
Col. Churchill’s speech followed pres
entation of a motion to adjourn for
the summer vacation. He urged the
country to organize for a long war
and to put food supplies and prices on
a war basis.
The long eastern front, Col. Chure
hill argued, was the most vulnerable,
and the inexhaustible armies that Rus
sia was able to bring into operation
should be utilized fully. Therefore,
he argued the chancellor of the ex
chequer to permit no financial consid
eration to stand in the way of provid
ing Russia to her utmost needs with
munitions and shipments, upon which,
he said, everything now depends. |

ed over to her as a convict laborer
while he is serving a two-year sen
tence for manslaughter, it was learned
today.
The jury stipulated that Slaughter
be hired out, but the commissioners
decided that Mrs. Slaughter’s bid
should not be accepted and that the
prisoner should work for a tobacco
company.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BLADDER
BOTHERS YOU.
Fating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get slugpish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu
matic twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torrid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren’'t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia. and has been used for genera
tions to flush clegged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity; al
so to neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorder.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
