Longer lines, effected through higher radiator and redesigned cowl and bodies are apparent in all the im proved Ford Cars, but are especially pronounced in the open types. Wide crown fenders hung close to the wheels contribute to the general ef fect of lowness and smartness. While Runabout and Touring Car remain in black, the closed bodies are finished in harmonic color schemes, enhanced by nickel radiators. The Coupe and Tudor bodies are finished in deep channel green while the For- dor is rich Windsor Maroon.

D Your Throat Undoubtedly, in our struggle with the invisible enemies of man kind, we have been baffled by the invaders of the breathing-mas sages more than anywhere else. Here many of the deadliest germs attack. We have practically abol ished typhoid; cholera is a thing of the past; smstll-pox is no more dreaded; diphtheria and scarlet fever are yielding; influenza, pneu monia and tuberculosis remain mysterious and un-conquered. It is known that disease-germs may reside for years in a throat that appears healthy, and annoys its owner but little. From this locality they wander .to more re mote tissues; an overworked joint, an idle gall-bladder, or an irrit able, kidney is fertile soil for im migrants from a very modest throat-infection. • Worst of all however, a diseased throat is more apt to infect the heart-muscle, es pecially in people past middle-age. I am safe in asserting that,, the majority of fatal heart diseases have their real origin in a per fectly curable throat infection, neg lected! Removal of tonsils is too often • only a *tep in the right direction— merely removing the headquart ers of the enemy. Millions of bac teria, are left behind to continue * depredations. The number of “poisoned hearts” from inflnenza- C rms is appalling! It Is to this Id that an ounce tf prevention is worth many pounds of cure. What better prevention than dully cleansing the upper air-passages with some harmless antiseptic ? The invisible foe can be success fully combatted, only when he is not deeply fortified. To neglect the throat is to court disaster. September •-11—VIRGO If your birthday is this week, you are exceptionally well-balanced ncver likely to go to extremes in anything.

NORMAN B. GAMBLE '|= - ■ NEXT WEEK: ICE COLD DRINKS Bridge Club Meets. v ,/v v* ; r , September 7th The open season for shooting doves opened Tuesday, the 1st inst., and in this connection Chief Game Warden A. A. Richardson has issued a warn ing to hunters not to exceed the bag limit of 25 a day, the maximum fine for violating this law being $&db. The People-Sentinel has been request ed to publish the following letter re ceived by Mr. Gilmorg S. Harley, county game warden, from Mr. Rich ardson: “I call your attention to pages 3 r 9 and 31 of the Federal Game Laws, from which you will note that the Doves are migratory birds, and that the bag limit is 26, per day. Any per son killing over 25 Doves in one day is guilty of violating both the State and Federal Laws,, &nd is subject to prosecution in botl^ the State and Federal Courts—the maximum fine being $500.00. , “Owing ^o the extreme dry season that we have had, Doves will be slaughtered by the thousands at the different watering holes, so this let ter is to advis you to begin op Sept. 1st and thoroughly cover your county and be on the alert to aee that the bag limit is not exceeded. U “The open season on Doves is from September 1st to December 15th, in clusive, and is shown on the back of all hunting licenses, together with the open seasons on all other game and birds. j 'The bag limit of 25 per day on Doves is * very generous one apd real 1 sportsmen will not wish to kill more than this many Doves In afUy. Those who do kill more than 25 Doves per day should be prosecuted. ^ “I hope that the sportsmen of your county will co-operate with you in the enforcement of this tow, end that we will be able to sufficiently protect our Doves and not > have them si! slaughtered in one season. “While looking after the Dove Law, also make certain that people are not shooting partridges out of sea son, and that each person who is hunting has a license. I want you to personally inspect the license of every hunter you aee end prosecute those who cannot produce their licenses.” Mr. Chris Langley and fpmily have to Columbia after a visit of The Wednesday Afternoon Bridge Club met last week at the home of Mrs. Edgar A!
