Vm' , Besides its general appeal and high quality aspect, the Tudor sedan has several features which promise to win immediate favor. The two doors are unusually wide, 28 8-4 inches, to be exact, and are set at the front of the car, hung in exceptionally tfeavy frames and swing open- forward on either side, in line with the driver's seat. Because of the location of .the door, the driver has convenient access' to his seat without folding up the ex tra seat along side. The gasoline tank is located under the driver's seat making it unnecessary for him to dis turb any other passengers when fill ing the tank. Interior fittings are attractive. The upholstery is in special Ford fabric of dark brown with floor rug to match. Both the doors and side win dows, have been equipped with re volving window regulators of the same design as those used in cars of much higher price. , Sealing-Wax Jewelry The fuont for things Egyptian brought in a whole now line of ornaments and costume Jewelry that will mal:e novel and welcome Christ mas gifts.

J AMERICAN FOODS BEST SAYS FAMOUS DOCTOR Atfcena.?American standard food stuffs are the best in the world, says Dr. Mabel Elliott. famous woman phy sician, who tor the past two years hat been medical director of American or phanages In the Near Bast From the standpoint of parity and high food value, she asserts that no European nation can compete with the United States, and tor this reason she Insists on American products la all orphan ayes and hospitals. In order to meet adequately the needs of undernour ished children. Dr. Elliott's annual report sum mlng up the results of the care of 50.000 children in orphanages as well as clinics for 60.000 additional chli dren in refugee camps and homes, says: "Stable American foods are now the backbone of all our menus for re i building children who became weak and anaqmlc during the refugee ex odus from Asia Minor. Our menus contain, not only bread made from American (lour, and corn grita in por ridge and stews, but al3o the liberal use of corn syrup, American con densed milk and American cocoa and macaroni, thns making a balanced ration to meet ail the scientific re quirements as to relative food values, calories and vttamines. Tbe favorite orphanage pudding la composed of corn 'grita with cocoa, sweetened with corn syrup, and made mord nutritious arfd~ palatable by add ing a sauce of American condensed milk. Such a pudding has a high food value and is very eeonomical?no other equlvaleht food value could be obtained from other foods at twice the cost Moreover, it is eo palatable that children eat it eagerly several times a week, and never seem to tire of it The American people, in pro viding for these parentless children snch pure and wholesome foods from their own tables, are certainly making a practical application of the golden rule." Dr. Elliott has recently returned to America to arrgnge for the pnhlica 'on of a book of her experiences un >r the title of "Beginning Again at ?carat." ^ CHRISTMAS EDITION COMING DECEMBER 14 Two wsslts from this data the HERALD will iune its annuel Christmas Shoppors Edition.
