CAUSE OF IMPAIRED HEARING
Found by Or. Albert Barnes OF New
York to Be Chiefly Due to City
Noises Which irritate Ear.

Ear-strain, producing greatly I'M
paired hearing, Is found by DR.. Albert
Barnes of New York to be very preva-
lent, and to be chiefly due to city noise,
which irritates the ear much as daz-
cling light affects the eye. The acute
ness OF hearing may be lessened for
years without giving serious trouble.
Nervous women and people from the
country suffer most from ear-strain,
and shoppers often get distressing
headache and feeling Of uneasiness
and irritability that may last for days.
Even the healthy ear Is not wholly
proof against noise, boilermakers and
workers amid rafting machinery
eventually becoming partially deaf.
After q time the sufferer from ear
strain notices a ringing in the ears.
and this Is particularly distressing, es-
pecially at night and when the person
is tired. Diseased tonsis or adenoids
neglected in childhood may lead to ear
strain. Shutting salt water or medicated
fluid up the nose may have effect, and
changeable weather and mental strain
are contributing causes. Bringing nose
and throat to healthy condition Is a
step toward relief, but rest is most
needed,

DroUsiress in Church.

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered by Ralph Eyre of
Osceola, Iowa, a senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State uniyer-
sity. Mr.. Eyre has found the scien
titic basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
unfortunate fact "A glazing light be-
fore the eyes is sure to produce drow-
siness," Mr. Eyre reasoned. Men with
bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glaring lights
than those blessed with abundant hair
Women who wear hats that shade
their eyes have little difficulty keeping
awake. A little care in placing lights

ence in the world Exchange.

AUTOS FOR CITYS USE
HoRsE-DRAWN VEHICLES LITTLE
USED BY NEW YORK OFFICIALS.
Large Sum Annually Devoted to the
Maintenance OF the Several Score
Of Cars Necessary.

Some remarkable demonstrations
of the development Of the motor car In
dustry have been seen in the last few
years, but New York city provides the
most striking illustration Of how the
self propelled vehicle has come into
favor" says an expert.
1.-The report Of the controller of the
city of New York, recently made,
shows that it costs 1887, 500 each year
for the operation and maintenance Of
municipality owned automobiles. This
Is an especially interesting statement
when one considers that each Of the
several score of cars in use has re-
placed from three to five horses, for 1t
gives one an idea Of what the city was
spending for maintaining it's equine
equipment heretofore.
so important have city-owned au-
tomobiles become to the metropolis
that there Is now a move under way
to have central municipal garage
erected where the automobiles may be
taken care of efficiently and economic
ally.
THE statement Is made that at
present the city is paying too much
for care of its cars, as service is pur-
chased from various private concerns
throughout the several boroughs.
Nearly every department of the city
government has its quota Of automo'
biles, from 26 in use by the fire de-
partment to the one operated by the
department of correction"

SAVE THE GASOLINE
Many Ways by Which This Item
of Expense May Be Mate
rally Reduced.
PROPER DRIVING THE SECRET
Utilization Of Power Of Momentum
Something Too Frequently Neg
Iected by the Motorist-An-
other Mistake 10 Allowing
Motor to Run Idle.

Gasoline costs some motor enthusi-
asts-who do not pay much attention
to the myriad ways they can cut It
down by third or a half-approxi-
mately $3.50 year each That Is,
perhaps $50 or $50 is wasted There
are about 100000 cars of all types
In America. The waste on all of them
probably runs over s23,0OO,0OO.
The figures given above are based
on the fact that man who loves mo-
toring will drive his car approximate
ly 10000 miles year. His motor
will consume somewhere between 600
and 500 gallons OF gasoline, third OF
which might be saved Oh the average
car.
There are several secrets Of gaso-
line saving which motorists generally
do not know. Yet an engineer can
take the car from which an ordinary
driver gets only IL miles to the gallon
and in many cases make 1t yield Is
to 20 miles to the gallon. This is a
saving of one-third or better, no incon-
siderable economy.
An instance came up the other day.
We were equipping certain manu-
facturer's six-cylinder models with
carburetors. A layman driving the
car could get but 10 miles to the gal
Ion. A careful driver stepped into the
same car and secured 10 3-5 miles to
the gallon.
He pointed out to the less careful
driver what it was in his driving, or
rather, what he didn't do, which ac-
counted for the extra mileage. The
layman got back into the car and used
10 miles to the gallon. 1t was easy,
too. Instead Of stepping on the
hrottle"-pushing 1t clear down and
shooting the gas into the motor need
lessly-the careful driver fed the gas
fast, but steadily.
Some motorists do not utilize the
wonderful power of momentum. They
speed a car up to rs or 80 miles an
hour, feeding gas every second, and
then quickly put on the brakes, killing
momentum that, perhaps, would take
done every day by owners who would
avoid it if they would stop moment
to think.
In spite of this self-starting era,
there are not two per cent of the mo-
florists who have not the habit of let
ting their motors run idle at the curb,
oftentimes for ten or fifteen minutes.
A motor fairly devours gasoline vapor
while idling, much more than at good
speed.
There also is waste incur Cd by
racing a motor in starting it, | have
listened to motors racing idly at 1000
to 1900 revolutions a minute for sew
eral minutes. Most owners know just
how high a throttle 1t takes to get
enough gas TO start their particular
motors.-Exchange

also made provision that when once
charged with water the supply will last
a considerable time and not dry out by
evaporation.
1t consists Of a moisture-proof box

the lid open. Under the lid is one

tact with the envelope flap and this
is maintained at the proper degree OF
moisture by automatically coming In

The envelope is placed on the lid with
the flap overhanging. and as the lid is
pressed down the water is applied. As
the envelope is removed the parts are
pressed together and the sealing

of the box prevent the evaporation OF

USING PIGS AS LIFE SAVERS
Furnish Best Available Skin for Graft
Ing RECONSIDERATION 10 Usu-
ally Successful.

The despised pig is doing more than
supply US with choice roasts and chops
he now Is being led to slaughter In
the interests of science and Is prov
ing OF material assistance to surgeons
in saving human lives.
1t has lately been discovered that q
very young pig furnishes the best
available skin for grating purposes.
So useful has pigskin proved for THIS
purpose that the operating STAINS OF
number of large hospitals do not
consider their equipment complete IN
less they have litter OF pigs ready a.
all times to supply the skin needed for
grating on human bodies.
1t has been found that skin taken
from pigs when they are from two 10
six months old can be grated on the
skin of q man or woman far more sue
cessfully than the skin OF another nu-
man being. Many surgeons. In 1act,
are abandoning the old method OF
grating human skin and are relying
entirely upon the skin obtained fran
very young pigs for such operations.
The grating of pigskin Is successlui
in from rs to 100 per cent. OF the Al
tempts. The skin of other animals
and of human beings averages only 81
to so per cent. of takes"
Some surgeons have hesitated 10
use pigskin for this purpose for rear
that with the pigs hide they would
transplant to their human patients
body the pigs stiff and ugly bristies.
This danger has now been removed
by deep shaving process which re-
moves the roots OF the bristles ana
prevents any danger OF their growing
on a human body.
