Signal Gauge Warns
When the Gas Is Low
New Device Claimed To Be Abso-
lutely Perfect in
Operation.

Ever since the gasoline motor ear
came into general use for touring there
has been a big source of annoyance
keeping the gasoline tank from running
dry when miles away from a fresh sup
ply. Hardly a motorist but has had this
experience al least once, and most a
them repeatedly.
Manufacturers have east about for a
remedy. some adopting an auxiliary
emergency tank while others have used
a gravity gauge, hut both systems are
expensive and neither has proved en-
troly satisfactory
Motor car owners and manufacturers
alike will welcome a new device which,
according to report is now being placed
ON the market, which gives an unde-
niahle warning whenever the gasoline
supuIy runs low. 1t is called the Carr
signal gauge, and is the invention of
br. o. 4. Carr, of Lansing, Mich.
The Carr gauge is both simple and
uOSitiNc IL consists of a small brass
tube which is inserted in the center of
the gasoline tank and containing small
float suspended from the top of the
tube When this float reaches a certain
level adjustable to any depth desired u
pulls down a lever thus closing an cleo
trio circuit. and notifies the driver by
means of either a buzZer or bell COP
tiouah. The necessary current is supplied
bN connecting the gauge with either the
starting batteries. the ignition or the
lighting of the car, OF can be attached
independently to one dry cell.

Atlanta Dealer Solves Question
by Taking Automobiles of
Own Line.
DEMAND GROWING GREATER
From Every Corner of the Earth
Come Orders for Autos of
American Make. .

IF out of the thousands Of cars
running now in Atlanta We could even
get an approximate idea of the years
these cars were first put into service
and an approximate idea Of how
many owners expect TO buy new cars
this year, it would be reasonably easy
to solve the used car problem" says
one of the local dealers. But with
out this information is to be bind
folded and the used car phase of the
business assumes the same complex
/ ion as it has always had.
For month the dealers have de-
bated the question from every angle
and for a general result, but no con-
crete arrangement or agreement has
ever been accepted nor is an agree
ment that viii be mutually satisfac-
tory likely to be accepted. There
are several reasons accountable for
this, mainly because there are scarce
/ ly two dealers working on the same
discount and it is not TO be expected
that the long discount man shares
the handicap of the fellow of a less
margin of profit. Therefore, it is
purely a question of every man for
himself
Take One Line.
we should adopt a policy not TO
do do any trading except for our
own cars. In place of allowing a
prohibitive and unreasonable price
for a car to be applied TO the pur-
chase price Of one of our new cars,
we should offer to take the car, put
it in salable condition and if pos
| sible get somewhere near what the
owner asks for il. If we are unable
to sell the car before the delivery
date of the new car, of course the old
car does not figure in the sale.
This plan has been in effect in
other cities and seems to work out
very satisfactorily to al, concerned.
The used car problem will cease to
| be any problem at all if orders con-
tinue to come in at the same rate Of
increase from as many different Coun-
tries and for as many different pur-
poses as in the past few weeks" said
L. S Crane, the Pope Hartford agent.

NUTMEG AS A PROPHYLACTIC
Many EngIishmen Are Taking Up an
Ancient Old American Rheu-
matlsm Preventive.

London.-An extraordinary alleged
"cure" for rheumatism is being talked
of here. The cult of nutmeg carrying
as a sort of charm against the disease
has increased rapidly of late.
For a good many years." writes
clubman to the Daily Mirror, ga few
people have been carrying nutmegs as
kind of protection against rheuma-
tism, and now many others are follow
ing their example. Consequently there
has been an increased demand for
nutmegs, although the price of them
has not gone up so far. Those who
have adopted the cult declare that,
however severely they suffered from
rheumatism before, all traces of the
trouble ceased as soon as they began
to wear the CHARM and that they new
er have any recurrence of the COM
plant so long as they continue to car
ry a nutmeg on their person. Some
have the nut attached to the watch
chain by a gold clasp and keep it con-
stantly in the watch pocket; others in
neat leather receptacles, which are be-
ing made for this express purpose by
up-to-date Bond street shops.
Wonderland there are many who
have caught the nutmeg-wearing craze
often have the aromatic charm fixed
in a gold or platinum claw and sus-
pended by light chain from the waist
or garter"
A Church of England dignitary who
has worn a nutmeg for many years,
said that the belief in the efficiency of
the nut to cure and prevent rheuma-
tism was no mere superstition. He at.
tributed its power to the carminative
properties of the oils contained in the
kernel-properties which from time
immemorial have been known to the
natives of the Banda islands, whence
come nutmegs.
A London doctor was very sKeptical.
1T is evidently an old fetish revived"
he said 1t is absurd to imagine that
by carrying nutmeg you can ward
off rheumatism. You might as well
carry a stone and put your belief in
that. Still, the nutmeg has certain

tropical sore throat-a form of tropical
rheumatism"
The representative of a firm of spice
merchants said that he had heard Of
the belief in the nutmeg "antidote."
CAS- matter of fact" he said, "a
leading member of our firm carries a
nutmeg about with him and swears by
it as a. 'warder-off' of rheumatism"
No New Highlander needs to be re-
minded that the nutmeg as a rheuma-
tism prophylactic has been venerated
for centuries in the Eastern United
States.

ENDS BACKACHE and
KIDNEY DISORDERS
Croxone Helps LifeieSs Organs
Regain Health, Strength
and Activity.

1t is useless, dangerous and unneo-
essary to be tortured with the digging,
twisting pains of backache or suffer
disagreeable kidney and bladder dis
orders when Croxone is guaranteed to
promptly and surely relieve all such
misery.
Croxone masters these troubles be-
cause it quickly reaches the cause OF
the disease. 1t soaks right into the
stopped-up, inactive kidneys, through
the membranes and Innings; cleans
out the little filtering glands; neutral
ICES and dissolves the poisonous uric
acid and makes the kidneys filter and
sift from the blood the waste and poi
sonous matter that clog the system
and cause such troubles.
1t does not matter whether you have
but slight symptoms or chronic, az
gravated case, 1t is practically impos-
sible to take Croxone without results,
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle, and all druggists are
authorized to return the purchase
price if you are not entirely satisfied
the very first time you use it.-Adv.

CREED NOT AN ESSENTIAL

Don't use a noun and then on adj
jective that crosses out the noun. An
adjective qualities, it cannot contra,
dict. Don't say, Give me a patriotism
that is free from all boundaries 1t lie
like saying, Give me pork pie with
n pork in it. Don't say. I look for
ward to that larger religion that shall
have no special dogmas.' 1t is like
saying, i look forward to that larger
quadruped who shall have no feet A
quadruped means something with four
feet; and religion means something
that commits man to some doctrine
about the universe. Don't let the
meek substantive be absolutely muir
dered by the joyful, exuberant adiec'
tive"
All of which is very clever, in the
usual Chestertonian style, but it is
leading-largely false as we'll as
true. What a religion means depends
somewhat upon the individual who pro
fesses it, 1t does commit the individ-
ual to some definite doctrine about the
universe, but that doctrine may be
broad, shallow, narrow or deep. Ii
may be simple or it may be full OF
complexities and inconsequential de
tails that have nothing to do with the
fundamentals of religious belief" in
the broad sense. The danger Of doc
trine is that it is almost inevitably
bound to expand. develop and multi
Il hot in &c wi a
family of doctrines all grouped under
the original title and recognized as
part of the conventional system.
Mr.. Chesterton is misleading when
he says that the man who looks for
ward to religion that shall bear nc
special dogmas might as we'll declare
that he wants pork pie with no pork
in it. This might apply TO any distinc-
tive dOctrinal faith, as. for example,
the Baptist who should express his
longing for a Baptist religion that
would be sufficiently advanced to dis
card the rite of baptism, but it is ridi-
culous when applied to religion
without specification Of creed. Sure
IL there is a possibility of something
worthy the name of religion" that
does not commit it's followers to any
elaborate creed and is practically free
from special dogmas. There will be
many agree with the gentleman from
Greene in his belief that creeds are
likely to be of much less Importance
in the future than they have been in
the past.

Punishment to Fit Crime,

When Congressman Small was
young lawyer he was once arguing a
case before a country magistrate.
Why" said Mr.. Small, "the man at
the bar, Jones, would just as soon kill
me right here before your faces as
not"
The old magistrate slowly took out
his spectacles, put them on, and peer
ed over to get good look at the des-
perate Jones. Then he pointed his
finger at him, and said: you, Bill
Jones. If you kill John Small here be-
fore me I'll fine you one dollar and
fifty cents for contempt of court, durn
my soul If I on't!"-Chicago Inter

Portugal Government Turns Loose 800
lIIiterates, but Keeps the
InteIIectuais.

Lisbon.-In order to square itself
with the opposition, but more partic-
ularly with the world at large, the
government, on the third anniversary
OF the republic, released 300 Royalist
prisoners, some of whom had been
kept in jail for three years without
trial. This act has called forth CEN
sure from the Carbonari press-the
press Of Portugars Tammany-
declares that the royalists should
have been allowed to rot in prison"
and that "the government has shown
that it fears foreign criticism" The
release, however, is not SO much to
the credit of the government as the
first cabled news of it implied or the
Carbonari censure indicates.
The majority of the prisoners now
released are peasants and poor work
men, distinction having been drawn
by the government between these and
the less poor or the better educated
1t is q curious distinction, and to the
ears of a demagogue may have fine
sound and dignity, but it is one which
a moments consideration shows to be
untenable and absurd. 1t Is presum-
ably not intended to be premium on
illiteracy, for the government pro-
fesses a horror of illiteracy. but it is,
in fact, premium on servility, mean
ness, and obsequiousness. 1t is de-
signed, says the government, to divide
the responsible from the irresponsible.
A hundred and twenty Of the better
educated prisoners remain accordingly
i'll the penitentiaries. But it requires
