Why Take Chances of Having
Influenza
when a CORBIN DOOR CHECK will keep your doors closed ?
The draft from a carelessly left open door can easily cause
a bad cold and influenza at this season of the year. There is
no, need of having the doors left open.
A CORBIN DOOR CHECK will close the door quickly,
easily and noiselessly. A check for every door.
Remember how this disease originated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. The war
department's attitude toward the sale
or the former German passenger un
ers used as transports during and af
ter the war is that they should be
operated under the American flag, and
that their purchasers should agree to
re-deliver them to the government in
the event of a national emergency.
This was explained to the senate
commerce committee today by Brigadier-General
Klnes, chief of the army
transport service, who said the army
had tnilltons of dollars' worth of
equipment In storage for refitting
them as transports should the need
ever arise.
Bids on most of these vessels were
opened recently by the shipping
board, but aotlon on them has been
deferred because of a war department
protest against their outright sale.
The matter is understood to have
been referred to President Wilson for
a final decision.
