Let, us all ponder and consider what we. are doing to help the President. Are we conserving food r" ,Are we doing a good, hard, honest, day's work? Arc we buying thrift stamps anil war savings stamps and Liberty Loan bonds'? Are we supporting the government, in speech and action ? Are we writing letters to cheer up the boy. at the front ? Are. we raising or preparing to v;ii.se gar dens, poultry and hogs to increase the food supply? The war ,is going to be won; America is going to sur prise the world with her show of arms. The people ,-it home are going to get in and help pull the load. Labor is going to cease striking and adding to the President's burdens.

But while the decline is on (and many think we will never see again, a high grade gas) here comes the master of the situation. It is the great Chalmers engine and its chiei function is making poor gas deliver high power, It breaks up to an unprecedented degree the raw gas coining from the carburetor, "cracks it up" as the engineers cay, and then heats it to a high point before the spark j?ugs set it off. One device that does most of this important work is tho now famous Chalmers "hot spot." The second is the in genious "ram's-horn" manifold. So thoroughly does the great Chalmers engine Fletcheriro and Hooverizs the gas ihat there's scarcely a particle cf wasted power. Tests of the exhaust have proved that. And so fluid or liquid is this power that it fairly charms the driver. You can get violent action in an instant or you can "tame it to almost nothing." And whether calling on it for much or little it has a peculiar note of softness about it that always denoves a superior piece of mechanism. TOVR!N; CM! i rs.fM.lB lot I!1N; M l) N . . .
