Occasional attacks of backache, ir.

error to neglect these ills. The at

POINTERS FOR THE MoToRIsT.
How the Driver Affects the Wear OF
the Tires.

The importance of careful driving
cannot be overestimated if the life
of the car and its tires are considered.
The effect of sudden and sharp use
of the brake day after day is bound to
damage the tread of the envelope ana
strain the beads and side walls. The
layers Of canvas are ove7-taxed and
little by little the threads stretch until
they reach the breaking point. The
brakes should always be applied gent
ly and unless it is absolutely neces-
sary to pull up your car within snort
distance. let it stop as gradual as
possible.
! Another point in driving is the prop
or manirula ZION Of your clutch. Never
make a violent start-slip in the clutch
quietly and easily-in this way you
are protecting the mechanism of the
entire car.
Sharp corners should always he
made carefully and you can regulate
your speed to round the turn with Ut
tie or no use of brakes As last
word, always remember that your tires
are rubber and canvas and not steel
so to get the maximum service from
them drive thougitfully.
Many useful suggestions on the care
of tires and tubes are found in the in
struction books published by the Mich
elm Tire Company, Milltowr, N. J.
Copies will be sent you free upon
request.

effect is the same as that of laxative

The old way, too, was to take large
doses of physic. People waited until
the bowels were clogged. The new
way is to take one Cascaret when
you need it. Garry a box in your

EDITORS OF STATE
CONTINUED from pag, ~


it rests with the commissioners OF
public printing where this work shall
be done, the reception of the complet-
ed work and the auditing and approval
of the bills for the same There are
about dozen plants in the state in
which large sums of money have been
invested in modern and up-to-date
eouipment, capable of handling the
most intricate piece of printing. 1t
would be an injustice to the larger
plants to divide the work of the fifth
class into equal parts for each print
ing establishment. although no doubt
that would be the easiest solution OF
the distribution problem. However,
the bulk of the work is sent to the
larger plants, thus expediting tine de-
livery of such printing and securing
the best results at the lowest practical
rates. which is the natural outcome
of systematized business methods.
The smaller Offices may feel that they
are Disseminated against, but when
one considers division OF $15,OOO
worth of work among 375 or 400 small
er shops, of the state, for the biennial
period, it will be seen that the total
amount is less than $50 per year for
each shop. Another thing to be con-
sidered is that in the majority OF the
cases only the before mentioned IL
or IS larger shops of the state could
attempt to handle the different jobs
at a profit, taking for basis the av-
erage price of printing throughout the
country.
Still another point to be considered
in regard to the distribution of the
work is the fact that were the special
ruled and other intricate jobs sent to
the smaller offices, the larger offices
would do their share toward the CON-
pletion of the job and the delay and
increase in cost necessitated by the
two plants working on the same JOB
must be considered. And it must also
be considered that in other instances
where the smaller Offices might get
the work they would send the ruling
and other more difficult work is sent
still further east and out of the bOun-
diaries of the state, while the aim OF
the commission is to distribute all the
WOTk LudL Cdu OC uoAO ia INV 9o~-So
of North Dakota.
In regard to the quality of the work
delivered many of the shops claim that
they can turn out the work as we'll
as anyone, but in actual practice this
is not the case as the majority OF the
shops lack the valuable machinery ne
cessary to do the work properly.
In the approval of the bills the com.
mission has employed the services OF
an expert printer to compute the cost
of the work and to o. K the bills sent
in if satisfactory. No one is infalli-
BILE, not even an expert, and there are
bound to be mistakes but in all cases
where there is a close decision to be
made the printer-publisher is given
the benefit of the doubt.
