carburation or to uneven ignition. The
motor which runs perfectly well at low
speed, however, usually retains its ac-
tion under higher speed and load con-
dltions, provided only it is equipped
with a proper carbureter. Incidental
ly it should be mentioned that a prev
alent and most deceptive cause of ir-
regular running at low speeds is lost
motion in the linkage between the con-
troll levers and the carbureter and
timer. Where such lack exists even
slight amount of vibration is often
sufficient to throw out the regulation.

BOWED LEGS.
How This Deformity Can Be Avoided
In Early Life.

In Early Life.
If a chlld's legs have q tendency to
curve or bow 1t should not be allowed
to walk. The wise mother. however
will let Il twist and roll on the carpet
The legs will then soon straighten
themselves. What a pity it Is that
many young mothers are so unwise as
to make their babies walk too soon,
before the little. soft bones have be-
come sufficiently strong to bear even
so light a weight
OF course when the baby first shows
an inclination to stand upon his own
feet he should be allowed to do so and
should even be provided with chair
to keep him from falling Then the
first little step must be encouraged,
too. and the child should learn to the
best of his ability, but slowly. All of
this exercise is natural and should
therefore not be checked.
The carelessness that Is partcTlarly
deplorable is not the innocent play of
n child wlrO Will rest when he Is tired
1t is the walks that he is forced to
take hanging to the hand of his raOtlI-
er. You have NO idea how much more
difficult it Is for people to walk Il B0Dg
distance on a. stone pavement tshtu
on wooden floor. Furthermece,
mother walks perhaps slowly. EGu
steadily. There is no lettering on THE
way to rest the aching little feet
Mother is not tired herself, and shp
therefore forgets that 20. every one OF
her steps baby nllst take about four
and that he will soon be tired 1t lis
then that the strain comes upon the
legs. and even tire bones themselves
are not able to withstand 1t.
