WHAT TO DO WHEN GASOLINE ENGINE ACTS UP

Guilty usaily will be traced to a fault
in the ignition system, improper mix
tuTe or leakage.
In connection with the ignition sys-
tenn a terminal may be loose, wire
disconnected or wire may be broken
with the insulation intact. The source
of current may be too weak on &C
count Of insufficient or rundown cells.
Then the spark plug may be broken
out OF position, coated with carbon, or
damp.
Improper mixture may be caused by
slow cranking, in which case the
hand placed over the air inlet or the
injection of some gasoline through
the printing pet cock often will start
the engine. Dirt or water in the
gasoline, improper timing of inlet
valve, cylinder flooded with fuel, or
exhaust pipe clogged viii prevent the
engine from starting.
Then an engine with Ieaky valves

worn piston rings, or leak in tho

FINDS HIS LoNG-LoST RING
Man Gets Wedding Band Buried in
Sand Three Years at Kings
Beach in Massachusetts.

Boston, Mass-Three years ago
this summer J. Franklin Brown, now
head bookkeeper IN a shoe factory at
Chelsea, lost a wedding ring while
in bathing on Kings Beach, Swamp
soft Today he has the ring, and be
hind its restoration is q story Of a
bit of detective work
Two weeks ago Arthur Getchell,
mail clerk in the Lynn postofice, was
rolling around on the beach in a
bathing suit when the sandy recess
in which the ring had lain hidden for
three years was exposed. The only
clue to the identity Of the owner was
an inscription on the inside which
read, From F1ossie to Frank. Oct. II,
1905"
How to find the owner on such a
meagre clue, when thousands battle
on the beach every summer, was the
problem For week Getchen
searched every place that he could
think of. Then, remembering the
old adage about two heads being bet
ter than one, he consulted friend,
George F. Alley, and, out Of their
conferences, a bright thought popped
forth: why not look up the marriage
records on that d0te-"
That settled it. They found a
Frank and a FIossie were married
and Frank lived then at So Essex
street, Lynn, from where he was
traced F7ossie, before she became
Mrs. Brown, was Miss Lauckner of Al
Porter street, Lynn.

One of the first troubles many per
sons have with their gasoline engines
is in starting them. Nearly a hun
dred thousand small engines are sold
annually in this country, so the fault
doesn't lie in the engine in all cases.
If it did farmers wouldn't buy them.
In preparing to start your gasoline en-
CINE you should make certain that
there is fuel (gasoline) in the tank
and that the supply pipes are not
clogged. Then fill the lubricators
and grease cups and close the switch
of the ignition circuit. The load
should then be disconnected from the
engine by means of a friction clutch,
the lubricators turned on, the spark
retarded to the starting position, and
the starting cam moved in place be
fore cranking. In cranking, always
pull UP on crank AS soon as the en-
CINE picks up, disengage starting

vance the spark to running position.

If mothers notice that the brains or
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of a room more or less dark, let the

BUnERMILK LONGEVITY AID
Cells In the Body That Attack Mi
crobes Feed on the Fluid, Say
the Scientists.

Buttermilk will prolong the human
life for many years. That assertion
has been proved by several Of the
leading physicians of the world-Pas-
teur and Metchnikoff of Paris.
In the blood are little cells known
as leecocytes. Those cells are the
scavengers of the body, and in their
concave surfaces are able to grasp a
germ or foreign body and force its
elimination from the human system.
The Ieucocytes figuratively speaking
are the home defenders Of the body.
Under the microscope the home de-
tenders can be seen flowing along in
the blood streams. Suddenly they will
stop as though they sensed some near
danger. Changing their shape to that
of a v they will penetrate the blood
vessel wall and pick up a stray germ,
probably a typhoid or one Of the many
other varieties.
When a person wounds the skin and
the blood runs the home defenders
rush to the afflicted part and project
themselves into the surface of the
abrasion, preventing the entrance of
outside germ life. They give up their
lives to attain their object and the
hard little ridges felt on both sides of
a slight wound are the leUcocytes SO
tightly impacted that their lifeless
bodies help form scar tissue.
As years pass that commendable &C
ton of sacrificing themselves so the
human body may live ceases and the
little friends of the body once known
as home defenders turn into a lawless
element, ravaging the body they once
defended.
Metchnikoff and Pasteur found that
buttermilk contained an element
which prevented the leucocytes from
ravaging the body. Experiments
| proved they would eat the buttermill
| in preference to the human tissue.

heard mems voices coming from an

he found a muscular young man who
jumped at him so quickly that they
both rolled down three flights Of
stairs together. The young EaE was
underneath at the foot Of the stairs,

heard inquiring whether "Mr. Vincent
