Absolute proof of this treatment can be verified by liv ing witnesses who were treated three to seventeen years ago. Write .to day for this valuable book. It will be pent free for the asking. " o22. FOR SALE OPTIMISTIC VIEW NOW HELD BY ITALIANS THAT GERMAN AS SAULT WILL BE CHECKED WITH AID OF ALLIED POWERS. Washington, Nov. 1. Reassuring news came from Rome today in of ficial dispatches. While serious, the situation on the Italian front is des cribed as far from desperate. Gen eral Cadorna's army is declared to be practically intact and complete confidence is expressed in his ability with aid coming from the allies to stop the Austro-German drive. .The cablegram summarizes the situation as follows: "The military situation on the Italian front is serious, but it is far from being desperate. Having re covered from the first surprise, it may be stated that our allies are preparing to put up a furious resist ance to the enemy. It is probable that if the retreat should continue for a few days longer, the Italian resistance will develop along the Tagliamento river, which descends from the Carnic Alps, or perhaps if the Austro-Germans attack in Cernla it will be on the Pisve river which flows westward. Italians Not Weakened. Whatever the number of Italians akon prisoners, the strength of the army of General Cadorna. has not been weakened. It must not be for gotten that Italy has under the col ors more than 3,000.000 men. As for the guns that the Austro-Ger mans claim to have captured, they only represent the production of a few weeks of the munitions factories of our allies. "The Italian army is practically intact. Besides the French and English are coming to our rescue. It has already been announced that at the beginning of the council Sun day evening, the French ministers were busy determininy the extent and nature of the co-operation of the allies on the Italian front. The Brii'sh eovernment has taken prompt measures to rush aid to the Italians and all indications are that this French and British aid will come at the hour when the enemy invades the plain of Freoule. "Meanwhile, awaitin;; develop ments, Italian public opinion realizes thoroughly the .vravitv of the hour and is bearing the shock with calm ness and firmness.' RETURNS FROM THE WEST. Prom Friday's DatlT. Thi3 morning Charles Schopp, Jr., and Vael Smith returned from the west, where they have been for the past month or longer putting in a crop of winter wheat for Mr. C. II. Schopp, in Chase county. Mr. Schopp purchased a farm there containing a large number of acres, which he de sired to have sown to wheat. Ac cordingly, he shipped a lot of agri cultural Implements out there and with a force of assistants has been busy putting the large acreage to this needed commodity. Mr. C. H. Schopp stopped off at Omaha for a short visit and to look after some business matters, coming down on the train this afternoon. CONTRACTS TO SELL MANY RE0S A thoroughbred Poland-China male hog. Immuned. For particulars, phone No. 4014. ol7-5tw From Thursday's Daily. Yesterday afternoon, T. L. Amick and wife went to Omaha, returning later in the evening with a new 1918 Reo car, which is a beauty without a bit of mistake. This is the same make car as Mr. Amick sold during the past summer and fall and for which he has signed a contract to sell seventy-five during the coming season, with the large cars that is a lot to sell in one locality, but by advertising well and with the sales of the past season behind him, Mr. Amick will doubtless experience no difficulty in getting rid of that num ber. By reason of the large number he has contracted to sell, he will be able to get better service than other wise and will not have to experience any long delays in getting the cars In stock, as was the case with so many dealers this season. The car which he brought down yesterday is truly a beauty and one which must be seen and ridden in to appreciate fully its merits. NEEDED STOPPING DEVICE From Thursday's Daily. ' ' - ' ' ' Last evening a man having a car parked on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, thought to go to his country home and setting the gas throttle and spark coils for action, walked around In front of the auto : A ' illillfi !

' " , imM0 The Comin GREAT g or a EN GIN H ' Makes High Power Out of Low Grade Gas Men who drive cars are face to face with a condition that becomes more and more serious each day. That condition is the constantly de clining grade of gasoline. Nearly every engineer has said goodby forever to high-grade gas. For the moment, and possibly for all time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced crankshafts, and little tricks with valves give way in engineers' discussions to the "gas problem". Every alert engineer is bending his utmost to make "one drop of gas now do the work of two". Just as great situations produce great men, so out of this condition has come' a great engine. It is a Chalmers. It makes high power out of low grade gas. Compared with other engines of the same size or thereabouts, it shows : More power More rapid acceleration Greater economy Greater length of life Greater smoothness And an amazing ability to start quickly on a cold day, and to "warm up9 without delay. The Chalmers engine is a simple one. That is one reason why it is so good. In many engines of the moment the gas passes on its way from the carburetor to the cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all the way through the engine block. Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is forced to turn many sharp angles and does not become completely mixed with the air. This results in raw gas running into not only one but all the cylinders, particularly when the car is cold and especially when running for the first five or ten miles. In the case of the Chalmers engine this type of intake manifold has been com pletely eliminated. . A new manifold, termed "The Rams horn," has been constructed of simple pip ing. It is on the exterior of the engine. It is a manifold of easy curves so that there are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge against and be pushed into the cylinders. t The next development was to give the gas the proper amount of heat after it came from the carburetor. What is termed a "hot plate" is built in at the top of the throat of the carburetor so that the gas coming straight up from the car buretor hits the "hot plate", the dimensions of which have been worked out very scien tifically, and then passes around the easy curves of the smooth manifold in a perfect state of mixture and at the proper tempera ture to each of the cylinders. The case of this Chalmers engine has been proved. 1. On August 1 and 2, Joe Dawson drove a Chalmers equipped with this same engine 1,898 miles in 24 hours faster and farther than anyone ever before had traveled on land, sea or air. If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it. 2. There are over 1,000 Chalmers containing this engine now in use. They check up past all expectations. Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com pany, which has leased The Chalmers "Motor Company, has put its O. K. on this engine, and accordingly on the Chalmers car. 90 per cent of anjr automobile is the engine; and no car can be a bit better than its engine. So you are safe in writing your check for a Chalmers.

His at tempts to hold it back were futile, the car pushing-him to the curb, where he managed to hold it until some one shut off the gas. He had but little gas on, or the chances are the car would have gone on across the walk into the Dovey store front, in which direction it was headed. An automobile is a'pretty good thing if handled right, hut one had better be sure he is running the car instead of the car running him. IN COUNTY COURT TODAY. From .Saturday's Dally.
