Some Thing, to Swear of.

There are other things to swear off
on besides booze and 'baccy. For
instance, the man in the restaurant
who gargles his soup should swear
off; so should the woman who eats
peanuts in the theatre; the man who
has sure cure for cold; the man
who wants to tell you what bright
things his baby has done; the man
who eats onions and then insists on
riding home inside the car during
the rush hours.

The reputation of the

further strengthened by
the recent notifications IN

may be used as fuel in
stead of gasoline. The
drivers Of White Steam
cars may now enjoy the
advantages of cheap fuel
which can be handled with
impunity and which can
be procured at any cross
roads store or at almost
any farmhouse. So well
has the problem of the
successful use of kerosene
been solved that it is i'm
possible for the passenger
IN the car to tell whether
kerosene or gasoline is
being used California
distillate of even low
grades, costing 4 to 8
cents per gallon, can be
used and viii run Is cent
