THERE THREE
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you we'll
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. Center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $l,750,0O0
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 200 January lst,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE TH1S-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation Of furnishing
replacement parts for the
49,. cars it never made.

gents whose manners are correct

they mostly tread on joyous feet

men of courtesy and grace will find

chaps who have a stock of winning

Country Boys Creed.

Il believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than
the city which man made; that
life out of doors and in touch with
the earth is the natural life OF man.
! believe that work is work wher.
ever l find it; but that work with
Nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery.
| believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do, but on
how you do it; that opportunity
comes to boy on the farm as Of
ten as to the boy in the city; that
life is larger md freer and happier
on the farm than in the town; that
my success depends not upon my
location, but upon myself up
on my dreams, but what / actually
do; not upon luck, but upon pluck.
l believe in working when you work
and playing when you play, and in
giving and demanding a square
deal in every act OF life "-Farber

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
determination of Insects.

The warm season will soon be-
here. The various insects will again
resume activity. The diseases.
transmitted by insects will then be-
gin to reappear. In this part of the.
world these diseases are malaria.
borne by the mosquito, and all of
the diseases transmitted thru the
eXcreta carried by the fly. These
insects should in so far as possible,
be prevented from free activity.
They should be eXterminated. The
work done along, this line in the
early springtime is most effective.
Each community should encourage
the determination of both the NOS
quito and the fly.
The mosquito can be killed by
killing the wriggler that lives in
small puddlessof water. Whenever
possible these puddles shonld be
drained. Water that can not be-
drained away should be covered.
with kerosene or crude oil. The oil
should be on the water at least once.
in every ten days in order to replace
the oil that evaporated, and to in
sure the death of every crop of
wrigglers. (Itsrequiress from ten to-
twelve days for1the eggs to develop
into the moSquito.)
Flies may be killed by destroying
their breeding places Tney deposit
their eggs in all manner Of filth such
as decaying vegetable matter,
human eXcreta, old rags, papers, etc
Stable manure is favorite and AN
ideal place Tor their development.
Manure should be cleaned up and
hauled away at least twice a week.
The should premises be cleaned
once-better twice-a week.
These simple processes, cleaning
the stable and the premises and
putting little oil on all bodies of,
water, would practically extermi-
nate both mosquitoes and flies. Both
of these insects are a pest in addi-
ton to their disease carrying capac-
ity. From either point of view it
would pay the community to rid
itself of them.
