l'or years the host and hostess have been

This distinctively new creation in soft
drinks is sparkling—snappy—delicious. It
is healthful with the wholesomencss of the
choicest cereals — appetizing with the bou-
quet and agreeable bitter tang which only
choice hops can impart. It is sure to ‘‘hit
the spot”—sure to encounter no prejudices.

The Mobilization Problem
Great warships are sliding off the ways; navy yards
and arsenals are working night and day; great mobil-
ization camps have sprung up as if by magic; every-
where the vast resources of the Nation are being gath-
ered together for war.
All over the Bell telephone system, thousands of em-
ployes are busily engaged in all branches of telephone
activity, to keep pace with the extraordinary’ telephono
needs of the Nation. And with the increased Govern-
ment requirement$, there will be greater demands for
eommereuil eervice.
Not only is there A grent scarcity of materials, but!
there is a similar scarcity of labor, and already many
of our technically trained employes—men who cannot be
replaced—have joined the colors.
As time goes on it will become continually harder to
meet the demnnds for service from Governmental and
private sources—and our jxjtron» are asked to bear1
this extraordinary condition in mind and to help <n the\
maintenance of on effective service by elimituiting all)
wasteful use of telephone lines and equipment. ^

Save Gasoline-Save Tires
—Drive a Maxwell Car
The automobile Km suddenly become more than ever a necessity
in passenger service.
We must go about from place to place to carry on our part of the
world’s work.
We can no more get along without motor cars than we can with-
out the telegraph or the telephone.
But motor cars to-day must be light, durable, economical.
The Maxwell has always been light, durable, economical—made
so to meet an immense, sensible demand that has existed all the time.
To-day that demand Is universal.
Don’t take any chances.
Buy a Maxwell—the standardized car whose economy and dura-
bility have been proved.
