4 MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop


When you are "just ready to DROP
when you feel so weak that you car
hardly drag yourself about-and be
cause you have not slept we'll, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, you need help
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: II was in bad
ly rundown condition for several
weeks but two bottles of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and we'll Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medi
cines l ever took"
If the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example, they, too, would
soon be able to say that Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy,
had built them up and made them
strong.
1t is a wonderful, strength creator
and body-builder, and we sell it I'm.
der a guarantee Of satisfaction. You
get your money back II Vinol does
not help you.

How to Use Cheaper sfeess.

In the November woman's Home
Companion Fannie Merritt Farmef.
cookery editor of the periodical writes
a highly practical and interesting ar
ticle showing how there's more money
for you and less for the butcher when
you use the cheaper cut meat. She
gives recipes showing how to use skirt
steaks and the aitch bone and she also
gives recipes for Huntington or joints
and roasted Hamburg steak and beef
stew with dumplings. AS to the COM
paratiye value of the cheaper and
higher priced cuts of beef she makes
the following general comment:
For expert advice consult the bull
ietin issued by the Department OF Ag-
riculture. The value Of meat as
food depends chiefly. of course, on its
protein and fat. which are valuable
in building and repairing the tissues
of the system. Yet the government
experts report that there is uniformity
in the proportion of building material
in the expensive and inexpensive cuts
THE high priced cuts of beef, conf
ing from those parts of the animal
where there is little motion, have short
fibres. making tender meat, while the
cheaper cuts have long coarse fibres.
which need hong, slow cooking TO
make them tender enough to be di-
gested easily. This Ia where the cook
shows her skill, for the different cuts
need different treatment"

ADEQUATE LAMPS ON
MOTOR CARS NEEDED
Night Travelling Makes Care in
Selection Essential to Own
ers.
erS.

The average motorist long ago recog-
nized the desirability OF having good
and adequate lamps as a part OF bis
equipment. Some have gone too far,
perhaps, in the matter of carrying daz-
zling lights. which temporarily blind
the driver OF an oncoming vehicle.
Travelling by night In a motor car in
wolves more care and attention than
would be thought necessary by the cas-
uaI observer. Even on a familiar road
the attention must always be on the
alert, for numerous dangers lurk in the
darkness.
One of the chief causes Of accidents
is the unlighted vehicle. On a dark
night, II the lamps are not adequate,
the dark back OF a carriage or wagon
does not emerge from the surrounding
gloom until the motorist is almost upon
1t: even with lamps OF medium power
the usual color Of the vehicle is
scarcely distinguishable from the color
OF the road. Corners. especially right
hand ones, need careful manipulation
and a watchful eye and ear must al
ways be ready for anything that may
be approaching at cross directions.
III WINDY weather WheTG several
trees have been blown across the road.
these might be easily mistaken for n
shadow by the driver Of a rapidly NOV
ing vehicle. Though all sensible motor
lists realize that the use OF a too dag-
zling headlight lis unnecessary in he
well-lighted streets of cities. neverthe-
less good lamps with properly Iiffused
nonblinding rays are essential for
night riding upon the country roads +:
now that 1t is no longer an uncommon
practice to use a motor car after dark.
the question of safety requires some
further consideration.
1t is argued that the headlight OF the
motor car is merely selfish and transit
tory illumination and Is no more than
a means Of safeguarding the driver and
the occupants of the car carrying the
light.
But it should be remembered that not
only are the lamps useful in guiding and
safeguarding the travellers in the car.
but they act as a means of warning
to other vehicles, and also to pedes-
trians. While there is much to be said
for the contention that dazzling head
lights form a danger to other users OF
the road. and that nondazzling devices
are desirable, vet it is quite impossible
for motorist using the road. either
main or other. at night to dispense with
adequate means of illumination.

CLIMBING OF HILLS
REAL DRIVING TEST
Easier to Shift to intermediate
at Bottom Than to Lose
Momentum on Grade,

The abifNv of an automobile driver
Is more taxed in ascending hills than
in near'v any other phase of driving.
Each F'U has its own characteristics,
and the driver ascending for the first
time must bring into play all the knowl-
edge gained from other hill experiences
II he wishes to make the ascent with a
degree Of pleasure to himself and the
others in his party.
There is great deal of deception
In all hills. deception which only wide
experience can counteract When ap-
preaching hill from the level the
grade is minimized and often a driver
what Is wrong with his motor. which.
heretofore was working perfectly.
Later In the day If the driver comes
back over the same route he Will he
surprised at the steep descent and for
the first time becomes aware of the fact
that he was climbing a steep hfiI on
the outward journey although at first
he did not realize II solely because he
approached the hIll along a level road
perhaps the deception was still fur
road that partially oSscured the grade.
Make Serious Error.
Americans are still making that seri-
Gus error of attempting too much hill
climbing work on direct drive. Many
drivers consider 1t an indication of lack
of ability IL they have to shift gears
on hill and they prefer to barely
crawl over the summit with motor la
boring and straining every part OF It
instead of shifting. The poor driving
is not changing to a lower gear BY
shifting to a lower gear the strain on
the motor crank-shaft. on the connect
Ing rods. and on the bearings is great
ly reduced.
1t does not do a motor any harm to
let it work as rapidly as may be neces-
sary in climbing a hill on intermedi-
ate. but 1t does FORK injury to let the
crank-shaft speed drop and still keep
In direct drive.
Some drivers imagine that 1t con-
sumes more gasoleue to climb long
hill on intermediate than on direct.
simply because the motor Is working
at higher crapR-shaft speed. This IL
a debatable point; in fact some o,
there Is greater fuel economy in making
the climb at a good speed on inter-
mediate gear than in making 1t at a
slower speed on direct All matters
considered. 1t is much better and gs2-
orally much quicker to make the ascsht
on intermediate than on high
Don't Like Shift.
Some drivers do not like to shift gears
on a hill because of the difficulty they
have In shifting gears. either because
of clashing the gears or losing too
much car momentum when making the
change. II this is the case. then the
driver has yet to learn the art Of shift
ing gears.
Quite frequently the solution of kill
climbing is found IN not shifting gears
on the hill but making the change az
the bottom Of the hill. Often hill
can be climbed much more quickly by
shifting from high into intermediate
at the foot or before reaching the foot
and letting the motor speed up TO its
best zone of hill-climbing efficiency.
This Is particularly true where the hill
Is OF medium length.
