HINTS FOR MOTORISTS.

Many motorists who are having trouble
with starting on the present poor grade
of gasoline. forget to use the scheme
that was quite popular several years ago.
1t is that Of printing with ether. A drop
or two, not more, In each cylinder pet
cock will usually make q motor start on
the first turn and keep IL up. the first ex
plosion being powerful enough to create a
suction that will draw a good charge
from the carburetor.
Easier than printing each cylinder, and
just as effective, is to place about half a
teaspoonful of ether in the auxiliary air
port of the carburetor. The ether may
be handled quite conveniently IL II is kept
in an oil can. tightly closed with a cork
When 1t Is desired TO use II remove the
cork, screw in the nozzle, and squirt into
the carburetor.
A well posted ignition expert gives the
following advice that may prove prof.
able to many motor car owners: When
having your car overhauled this spring
don't permit any Of the old ignition cable
wire TO be used again." says the expert
In question.
IF you do have to use the old cable.
examine each piece carefully and see II
there are any breaks at the sharp ends.
Rubber cable is therefore the best TO use
for the reason that 1t will reveal cracks
caused by age that would otherwise be
unnoticed. Make sure that the cable is
firmly attached to the coil. magnetic.
timer, batteries, and switch before taking
your car out after the long winter rest.
Clean up and brighten all terminals
and connections with very fine emery
cloth. or scrape them SO as to remove all
foreign substances which have gathered.
and which will interfere with the proper
functioning OF the ignition system
Popping in the carbureter when the
load Is suddenly increased is an indica-
ton that the iow-speed adjustment OF
the carbureter is out. Application of a
load slows the motor down. and IL the
mixture Is too lean under these condi-
tons of slow speed and heavy load. pop
ping will result and the motor viii stop
Sometimes the same thing will. occur
in hill climbing, when the trouble may
be due to an insufficient supply of gaso-
line In the float chamber. This in turn
may be due to the float chamber being
placed in front OF or at the rear of the
jet. or to the main gasoline tank being
placed too low on the car to give the
proper gravity feed on a hill.
Knocks and pounding in the motor can
be accurately located by means of a
homemade device. The materials needed
1are two-foot section OF cold rolled
3-s-inch steel rod and a fiat tin can about
four inches in diameter. Solder the tin
can on the end Of the rod, centering II
on the bottom Of the can.
The end of the road should be placed
on the motor at the spot where the
sound seems to come from, and moved
about until the spot of greatest noise is
discovered. BY this means the exact To-
cation OF the trouble can be ascertained.

Stutx Motor Car Company Takes
Out Policy on Drivers.

That automobile racing is $4,000 times

Most motorists who do much country

local agent for American car. But 1t
is a mistaken idea to believe that this
better riding is due entirely to the les
sened air resistance
The top of an automobile has con-
siderable weight, as every man knows

/ hoarseness, tightness in the chest, bill
iousness, dyspepsia, any one of these
things is liable TO occur at any time in

Now, such people ought TO have Pc

sents itself, or any disturbance of the
body few doses of Pe-ru-na should
be taken. III the disease is acute, PEE
ru-na had better be taken a teaspoonful
every hour. If it is a disturbance that

business, taken according To the direc-
tions on the bottle is best. II this is
done, it will save the people untold eX-
pense and suffering. Not one case in

doctor would occur ii Pe-ru-na was kept

people to listen and become obedient
to the laws governing their bodies. Now

things, am profoundly grateful that
this is so.
So long as there are disobedient ones,
so long we must have medicine. Even
those who are trying to be obedent
to the laws of nature, trying their very
best, need medicine for unavoidable con-
ditions that often bring on some de-
rangement. If such little arrangements
were met promptly with Pe-ru-na, the
day would more quickly come when even
Pe.ru-na would not be needed, the day
when the drug doctor would absolutely
go out of business. May that day hasten.

Get along without medicine ii you pos.
sibly can. Look toward nature for as.
sistance. Clean habits, frugal diet. Ear.

Work every day at something you like
to do. Keep up your enthusiasm. Have
faith in nature and natures God. The
laws of nature are memorable, but the
rewards of nature are kind and benefi.
cent beyond all expression. If you dc
these things You may during your whole
life escape the necessity of using medi.
cine, but even with all this you may
occasionally need medicine.
But you must remember that you and
your club are exceptional people; that
the great masses of people go on
thoughtlessly. Their diet is very lily
fitted to sustain their bodies properly.
Their exposure to cold and wet and
heat and fatigue is very reckless. In
short, they do not know how to take
care of themselves. Consequently, a
medicine is necessary often.
The medicine Pe-ru-na is climatic
medicine. 1t is intended to reach cli-
matte troubles, troubles that arise as
the direct result of exposure to eli
mate.
1t is also intended to meet those diff
culties which arise from improper nour-
ishm of the body and improper diet,
producing indigestion and biliousness
The principal climatic trouble in our
is catarrh, and a large number
of people have catarrh. Perhaps one
half of our people. Such people not
only need to take care of themselves
as you boys are doing, but they need
to render them a little assist
ance. Pe-ru-na is exactly what they
need.
If we could have the world full of
people that are living as you are, per-
haps | should then not advocate the
use of any drug, but you are only one in
ten thousand. The rest are going on
heedlessly and recklessly, and it is for
them that / am recommending my Pc
Ina.
The average household needs Pe-ru-na
more than | can possibly describe. The
small children, the father and mother,
the grandchildren, are all stumbling
along needless of the laws of nature.
