THINGS MECHANICAL
ABOUT THE AUTO

If car has to be thoroughly cleaned
1t must be washed. and before being
washed 1t must be allowed to get
quite cold, otherwise the cold water
will splash over and stain the bonnet
and dashboard-which are always
somewhat heated from the engine. A
car that is much washed has to be
well fabricated in the matter of
springs, shackles, bolts ETC., or the
water will work its way in and cause
rust and rapid wear. Some peoples
idea of busting is sort of polishing
with the road grit that Is found de-
posted on the varnish. And If, as
is often the case, the cloth used has
kerosene oil on 1t. because it causes
temporary brightness. there is no
doubt that the surface of the varnish
will quickly dull. But If car is as
carefully busted as, say. china closet
would be, there is no doubt that it is
just trifle more suited to the ANA
teur than hosing down the car body,

There are thousands of people to-day who hate their meals, and love them at the same time, They haven't that fine empty-hungry eat-everything- insight kind of feeling which goes with every good strong healthy stomach. That's because they have dyspepsia. And then there are others whose mouths don't water at meal time or at any other time. They sit at the table and go through the motions, only be- cause it's time to eat. These people, too, are dyspeptics.
 Every possible kind or stomach trou- ble can be cured by taking something which will just take right hold of all the food in your stomach and digest it alone without the help of the stomach. and let the stomach take a rest.
