THE BEST FARM ENGINES
Are Made by the National Ensin.
eering Co., Saginaw, Mich.

The preference extended by farmers
to National Engines is at once ac-
counted for upon comparison with
other makes. 1t is seen that National
Engines contain fewer pieces than
any other make, and hence are the
simplest. That they are SO designed
as to make each part more easily got
at, and therefore they are cared for
with less trouble than any other.
When to these advantages is added
the well-known fact that the facili-
ties of the company for producing
good engines are not excelled. if even
equaled, by those of any other fac
tory, the perfect working qualities
and long life of National Engines are
assured. Gasoline engines are now a
necessity on well-tilled farms. The
best is always the, most satisfactory
and economical, and when that best
costs less than many inferior kinds
there should be no question of choice.

cheering Co., Saginaw, w. S., Mich,

about their models of engines and is
fully illustrated.

Crossing the Feet.

Physical culturists say that the prac-
tice of sitting with the legs or even the
feet crossed is bad one and has more
to do with cold feet than most persons
imagine. 1t has this result principally
through impeding the circulation of the
blood in the leg that is crossed over
the other. The femoral veins are
cramped. with the consequence that the
blood is damned back into the feet and
above the knee, inducing as well as
cold feet varicose condition in the
veins of the calves. Another reason
why the habit should be discouraged is
the fact that on general physiological
principles it is healthier to sit squarely
with both feet resting upon the floor,
whereas with. the legs crossed the
weight of the body is thrown almost
wholly to one side or the other.

tested every note, only to find, as be-
fore, no fault with the instrument.
This time he told the lady so.
