A Jefferson St. physician, without a motor car,
averaged 40 calls per day during the first
ten days of the epidemic.
He bought an Overland on Oct. 15th and has
averaged 70 calls per day since.
That's an actual fact in Philadelphia epidemic
history.
A Godsend to Phdadelphia
IF there had been no motor cars in Philadelphia
the epidemic would have been a plague like
unto the plagues of olden days.
Every motor car used by a physician during the
last thirty days has proved a blessing beyond price
a Godsend to the nation.
Motor cars have checked and will end the
epidemic.
The epidemic proved the motor car to be an essen
tial the motor car proved a continued epidemic
to be impossible.
Here s What We ll Do
REGARDLESS of motor-car shortage, we will
deliver an Overland to each of six physicians
inside of sixty minutes from the moment of pur
chase, and if too busy to call at our store, phone
and we will send the car to you and leave it if you
wish.

Amsterdam, Oct, 21. From the
scanty news renchlnR tliti German
press nnd tluougli other sources It ls
possible to piece together the story of
the extraordinary ntul historic hnppen
lugs of the last few dayH In Austria
Hungary, a story which, when com
phstely filled In, will mako one of tho
most remarkable nnd Interesting pages
of hlstoiy.
To nil Intcnls and purposes the

Tho oppressed nationalities hnve
claimed their Independence, and there
Is no power In Hudnpest or Vienna
to say them nay. Tho powers that bo
stand hopeless before this mighty se
cession of liberty fiom tyranny.
Nationalities Itrealt Avrny
At h meeting of delegations nil of
the non German nationalities an
nounced their complete severance from
the Austrian Suite. The Czechs and
.southern Slavs declared that they re
garded themselves ' as Independent
State's, the latter tutting their Htand
by it demand for tho union of all Ser
bians, Croats and Slovenes In a great
kingdom of Jugoslavia,
In many places of riohemla a re
public has been proclaimed, nnd n
proclamation ut Agram of nn Indc
pendent Jugoslavia is expected nt uny

too, und the recall homo of their
troops.
Kpeclully do the proceedings nt
Prague nngcr tlte Pnn-aermnns. In

, When Chestnut-Street is cnlled the "Fifth Avenue" of Philadelphia
it is intended ns n compliment, but old rcsidentcrs do not consider the
omP'1risn nltoRcther felicitous. While the shops on both streets .carry
the latest and best, articles, their nims and mode of attracting custom are
oinmctrJcnlly opposed. On one street the best is put in the window on
tno other tho most exclusive models are rarely paraded; on one garish
display is the keynote on the other, quiet elcganco and dignity.
AFTER a day of hard work, or a
day of hard play, nothing looks
so inviting us one's own cozy
bed, yet how little would it tempt
were its appointments not kept in n
perfect condition. Blankets, sheets
jnd pillow cases have an unfortunate
habit of wearing out, but cun always
be supplied from the Household De
partment of B. F. Dewees, 1122
Chestnut Street, where there is a
superior assortment of sheets, pillow
cases, pillow case linen, dimity
spreads, nnd special Marseilles
spreads, which they are selling at a
very low figure. As for the wool
blankets in white or colors with
edges buttonholed, or bound with
ribbon nnd moire they are fo soft
nnd comfy it would be flying in the
face of Providence to allow any one
afflicted with kleptomania to remain
alone with them.
WHEN I see how cute other
gills look in uniforms I wish
newspaper scribblcrs,too,could
wear them ; but even if we may not,
nothing prevents us, or any other
woman, from buying one of those
swagger circular military capes at
Blaylock & Blynn, 1528 Chestnut
Street. Of tho softest, nilky, blue or
black vicuna cloth, with a curved
stitched band fiom the shoulders to
the arm opening, they nre decidedly
distinctive in appearance, nnd would
be particularly useful to girls who
need extra wraps over their uni
forms. But for those who pieferit,
there is a loose coat of vicuna, copied
from an imported model, with deep
armholcs, belt, nnd big, roomy pock
ets. The littlo South American vicu
nas, who gave their wool to make
these possible, Certainly deserve
votes of thanks.
I HAVE found something Diogenes
could not, and I did not hnve to
look for it with n lantern an
honest man! Ho told me his sex was
just us vain and hard to please in
clothing as women.but were ashamed
to admit it. Now, it was not at tne
Silk Shirt Counter at MacDonald &
Campbell's, lfifM-ilG Chestnut Street,
that I heard this, for their assort
ment of shirts is too comprehensive
for any man to leave it unswitcd, be
he ever M) fussy. These beautiful silk
shirts follow the dictates of fashion
smart satin-stripe effects in varied
color combinations, cut according to
the regulation MacDonald & Camp
bell standard. Of course, they, are
fast colors, and launder well, no
matter whether they are of Japanese
silk, crepe de chine, or strong broad
cloth silk shirting.
APPEAL after appeal has been
made for oranges to give the
L ill, but, strange as it may
seem, they have been the scarcest
staple .fruit in tho country and
almost impossible to procure. For
tunately .Henry R. Hallowell & Son,
Broad below Chestnut Street, now
has a fresh supply of Valcncins f rom
California, and these deliclously
sweet, julcv and almost seedless
ornnc.es are" the only ones in season
suitable for the sick. It is interest
ing to learn that it was the early
Missionary Fathern who demon
strated tho feasibility of growing
semi-tropical fruits in California, but
of the many fruits they brought over
oranges were among the four which
alono stood tho test of centuries, and
came down to modern times. The
Valencias, however, were a later in
troduction ttom bpain.

THERE nre all kinds of vacuums,
but the one which impresses m
most is the one in my nead when
it comes to writinir nbout vacuum
goods. I always thought they began
and ended with a thermos bottle, but
at the House Furnishing Store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1G12 Chestnut
Street, I had n rudo awakening. It
seems there arc lots of vacuum arti
cles, made by different firm;:, nil hav
ing good points, and thnt a bottle is
only one of the dozens of shapes. For
hot coffee Miller's have tail nickel-
finish tankards, or decanters: for
water or milk, carafes in various
lini.oh, nickej for the dining room,
mahogany for the living room, nnd
pink, blue or lavender enamel, some
hand painted, for the bedroom; and
any of these make splendid gifts.
TKYING to catch shy birds by
sprinkling salt on them is quite
out of date. If you wish to land
one you must bait your trap with
cheese, for men no more thnn mice
can resist enticinc cheeses, especially
when bought at E. Bradford Clarke
Company, loUO Chestnut Street.
Should you stand in need of some
thing extra fine they still have gen
uine French itoqucfort, but New
York State suunlics the tasty do
mestic Edams, so like the Red Dutch
Heads we enjoyed of yore. Then
there arc Pineapple cheeses made by -the
famous Nortons; individual tins
of American Camembert; Mae
Larcn's Imperial cream cheese, in
little jars, all most appetizing with
salad or crackers. And last, but not
least, cans of Welsh Rarebit, war
ranted not to rope or string at your
Welsh Karcbit party.
SOON there will be u big rush in
tho shops, and those who intend
havinir Christmas cards espe
cially engraved should placo their
orders at once. Already a scarcity of
engravers exists, and each new draft
lessens the remninder, but A. Fome
rantz & Co.. 1523 Chestnut Street.
arc ready and waiting for you. They
have a well-selected lino of Christ
mas and New Year cards, and while
plenty bear good old-fnshion Yule
time greetings, most have patriotic
devices and verses suitable for sailor
or soldier lads, or appropriate to the
times. One of the newest has a
turned-down end which conceals a
wee envelope bearing the words:
"War brings many changes,
but
I'm
Christmas is the same,
And this little thrift stamp

WITH the whole city on the
"water wagon" people have

drink in placo of plain Schuylkill,
which has no curative properties,
and to which, remembering past im

Many have already discovered that
the Mountain Valley Water, sold at
718 Chestnut Street, is a pure, pal
atable, delicious spring water; a pre
ventive of illness, as well as a health
restorer. At tho present time noth
ing could be bettor for keeping in
a good condition than drinking
Mountain Valley Water in quantities.
Most of the ills the flesh is heir
to are traceable to faulty assimila
tion with incomplete elimination of
waste matter, and a consequent ac
cumulation of poison in the body and
blood. This condition is avoidable
by drinking daily a few pints of this
health-giving water.
IN THESE strenuous times when
men are driving themselves to
the limit of endurance they are
glad to bo relieved of the bother of
ordering clothes, and are seeking the
Ready-Made Department of Jacob
Reed's Sons, 1424-26 Chestnut Street,
where the constant endeavor is to
supply the tight suit to the right
man. Long years'of experience have
shown that men fall under a certain '
number of physical types, and the
styles, lines and fabric most be
coming to each type have been
scientifically worked out The short,
fat man may lean toward a check
suit, or the tall, lanky man to a
high-cut waist lino and stripes, but
if they listen to the voice of Reason
speaking through a Reed's salesman
they will not mako the mistake of
buying garments which accentuate
their physical peculiarities.
THE boastful Captain John
Smith, of Pocahontas fame, tells
us that when he was condemned
to die, the chief sat on a great robe
of raccoon skins with "all the taila
