In the' ration for northern
France, the substitution of bacon
and lard makes the weekly allow
ance of protein equal only three
fourths of the German ration, and
only one-third of the standard ra
tion. On the whole it may be said
that for a person in an occupation
requiring only n moderate degreo
of activity, these rations provide
considerably less than the amount
requisite to maintain bodily health

Three strong reasons urge you to buy a Ford car: First,
because of its record of satisfactory service to more than
fifteen hundred thousand owners; Second, because of the
reliability of the Company which makes it; Third, be
cause of its large radiator and enrlosr-d fan, streamline hood, crown fenders
front and rear, blaek finish, nickel trimming, it is most attractive in appear
ance. To these must be addd its wonderful economy in operation and main
tenance about two cents a mile; likewise the fact that by reason of its sim
plicity in construction anyone cau operate and care for it. Nine thousand Ford
agents make the Ford service as universal as the car.
