K. II. Phillips, of the t'ommotciul TruU

teered the use of h tlxe-ton romnierrlal

question of a sufficient number of trucks
and automobiles Is still a burdensome one
Mr. Phillips has not only volunteered the
use of the truck lie hnn suggested that It
can be u?cd more than ono day a week fiom
now until the time when there nre Mifll
clent ai'lomnhlles mid trucks to take caie
f the situation without calling repeatedly
upon the sain u donors.
Edwin H. Smith, of Ketwln II. Smith A
Co., 101" Frankford avenue, has olun
teercd the use of two of his trucks. Ills
drivers, who ordinarily do not work on Sat
urday afternoon, have volunteered to take
turns driving the trucks In order to nshist
this movement. Mr. Smith, as an Individual
owner of trucks, has set an example ulileh
It Is hoped will be followed by many other
concerns, both large and tmall. There are
thousands of trucks owned by Individuals
and firms In Philadelphia, yet Mr. Smith ii
the first of all the owners to come to the

collection.
Letters are still pouring in from pcisons
in every section of the city notifying the
lied Cross of collections of paper. A num
ber of persons hae done much for the cause
by organizing their entlio neighborhoods
Into paper-having communities, bringing all
of the paper from tho communit together
at ono house so as to facilitate the collec
tion. Mrs. Fred Balmer. Jr.. 121 G South Peach
(treet, gave an excellent demonstration of
how this could bo accomplished last Satur
day. She had collected about llflO pounds
of paper In the neighborhood of her mother's
home In West Philadelphia, near D824 Trin
ity place. She had nenrl all of the chil
dren In the vicinity helping her with the
collection. She suggested in her letter that
be regretted that she did not lime nioic
paper collected and promised that she
srould have a bigger collection next Satur
day. If every community wou.d profit by
Mrs. Balmer's energetic example the P.ed
Cross could soon feel that its financial situa

going to Europe to fight tho battles of the
republic could rest assured of excellent Hod

More people are drinking and serving ginger ale because Clicquot Club Ginger Ale has taught America
what a fine beverage good ginger ale is. You will find it at most fountains, hotels and clubs.
Clicquot Club is made of real ginger and deep-spring water. It has a snap and sparkle, a high carbonation
and guaranteed purity. It is the standard ginger ale of America and there is probably no better in the world.

And Do You Use It?
About one cent an hour all the year around is
what the Keystone unlimited telephone costs you.
That telephone can be used as often as you like
without extra charge.
If you do not have that telephone now you ought
to order one today and then give strict orders that
it must be used on every possible occasion.
You'll be surprised at the diminishing amount of
your telephone cost brought about by this unlim
