Do You Haul Goods
In This City?
Use Electricity!

No real experience is ever obtained without
the loss of money. Waste of money some
would say, but money spent to obtain informa-
ton is not really wasted. In this day of pro-
gTeSS 1t is waste of money to use horses for
hauling. You see more power vehicles each
day. Some Of these are experiments, but the
last turn OF the road is here now, and it leads
to the electric truck.
Have you not noticed those big yellow cars
OF the Wilson Line and heard people say:
There is the truck2' OF course it is.
1t will pay you to investigate this matter.
These big trucks are handled easily by men of
the same calibre that you would select to drive
pair of horses. They can be taught all they
need know in couple of hours. They could
not tlearn to drive pair of horses in that time.
Let electric trucks do your hauling. They solve
the problem of economy and efficiency You
Can be sure Of the cost by the experience of
others. Ask the Wilson Line people what their
experience shows.
Come in and let us tell you what an electric
truck will do in your business. The result will
surprise you.
We are here to do two things in this case
Furnish you with electricity, which is the COM
modify that we have to sell, and save you
money on your hauling.

OLD RECIPES HANDED DOWN
THROUGH GENERATIONS.
Many Have Been Patented and Ac.
qulred Worldwide Regulations
Such as Originators Never Dreamed
of-Tomato Mustard.

Country farmhouscs years ago pos.
sessed a good many other treasures
besides their tallboy chests and their
carved oak presses, although most
OF these treasures seem to have van
ished nowadays.
In the days before every village
market town had it's city products,
and Inherent peddlers were the chief
statesmen, they thought, in fact,
great deal of their own old recipes
for homemade sauces. They were
made according to directions which
were handed down through genera.
tions, and formed the special pride
OF many busy housekeeper. AS a
matter OF fact, many of the old recipes
have become patented, and the orig
inal has acquired a worldwide repu.
tation such as its Originators would
never have foretold for 1t.
Among the forgotten recipes is one
for tomato mustard, which is worthy
Of the consideration of those whose
stock of tomatoes is greater than can
be used for cooking and salads.
TO two gallons of tomatoes three
peppers should be added when
minced, and these must be placed In
a large preserving pan with q table
spoonful of freshly ground black pep.
per, an ounce Of powdered ginger, q
quarter of an ounce OF cloves, half
an ounce of mixed spice, two ounces
OF salt and the grated rind OF lem
on. These ingredients shovld be we'll
minced together and boiled for an
hour to an hour and q half. At the
end of that time the contents OF the
pan should be allowed to cool. and
when cold an ounce OF curry powder
and an ounce Of powdered mustard
added, with a breakfast cupful OF
vinegar. This mustard mixture
should be bottled and corked down
tightly.
Another sauce which is equally ex.
cellent to eat with cold roast or boiled
meat is also made OF tomatoes.
To a gallon OF tomatoes a full
breakfast cupful Of minced red pep
pers and large cupful OF minced
onion should be added, the tomatoes
having been cut up very small. Halt
a pound of brown sugar, in half a tea
cupful Of sailor less If this is con,
sidered too much-a small teaspoon
full each of powdered ginger, cloves
and cinnamon, can be worked in with.
half teaspoonful Of grated nutmeg
and rather less OF powdered mace. To
all these should be added a pint and
half of vinegar, and the ingredients
turned into a preserving pan and
boiled for three hours.

WAY OF DOCTORING MASONRY
Germans Adopt Method That Entirely
Obviates Necessity of Tearing
Down Cracked Walls.

Ingenious Germans Of Hamburg re-
Gently have adopted method Of doc
toring masonry that entirely obviates
the necessity Of tearing down cracked
and decaying walls.
In the city of Hamburg two crumb
ling railway bridges were used in the
experiments. They were 81 feet In the
arch spans, and, cracks had appeared
everywhere, SO that the structures
barely hung together. Holes were
Dored through the masonry to get TO
the depths of the cracks and a watery
cement mortar was pumped in under a
pressure Of five atmospheres until all
the crevices were filled. When this
mad hardened 1t was found that the
bridges were as firm under all tests as
new masonry, and were not even dis
ngured by the process.
TO the antiquary as we'll as the
practical engineer, this should appear
as boon, for ancient stone structures
With historical associations, which be-
come dangerously weak can be given q
renewed youth without rebuilding or
destroying any Of the marks Of vener.
able age. In this country more bridges
and other stone structures are torn
away because they no longer accom-.
modate their needs, than because they
are outworn. but there may come q
time In America when we shall have
occasion to do little patching, and
the German methods will serve ex.
cellently.

q weapon that will drop men so fast

of the knife and, with the thumb
pressed against 1t, is laid along the

1t is to go, as in the old method. In

however. 1t is not necessary to remove
that from the knife blade and use the

the case. The scraper attachment on
the new type does this work even more
effectively and the end Of the knife Is
