then when the emergency comes,
you'll be prepared. But wait for the

NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use Of Water With Gasoline Means q
Considerable Saving of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form of regulating valve should be
used and a few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Case
line will stand about eighty-f1ve pounds
compression without pre-ignition.
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless small quantity
of water is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man.
ner of doing this is to employ either
a separate small carburetor for the
water or small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In few engines
the water Is injected directly into the
cylinder.
The proportion of water employed
Is about one and one-half pints of wa
ter to each gallon Of kerosene. If the
water Is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed for
gasoline the motor will pre-ignite and
Is very apt to burn out the connecting
rod bearings. 1t Is not generally known
that water may be used to advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro-
portion with considerable saving OF
fuel

1t was not question in my mind
whether the American people could
buy these machines, but whether or
not they would buy them. To my sur
prise we sold all we could make, and
the public still clamored for more.

strides which have been made in the
business, this experience has been re-
peated each year without exception
ever since.

MAKE RICH COMPOUND
sAvoRY RAGoUTs ARE TRIUMPH
OF FRENCH COOKING.
More Garnish for Other Preparations
Than AS Dishes by Themselves
Two Recipes That Can
Be Recommended.

It was particularly by the rich COM
pounds, designated ragouts, that the
ancient Partisan art of cookery gained
The admiration and esteem of the
world. These were served as COM
Element or garnish for other prepare
lions. rather than dishes by them
selves.
Mushroom Ragout.-Put half a pint
Of stock and half a pound of butter in
a saucepan with a sprig of parsley.
Place over the fire and melt the butter.
Lay in two dozen plump, fresh mush-
rooms, sliced. They must be tender.
Remove from the fire and let stand an
hour; then return to the stove and let
the mushrooms brown. Dredge in
tablespoonful of -four. Mix well and
pour in a cupful of boiling water; add
glass of Madeira wine, the juice OF
q lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with filet of beef. Or the dish
may be served as a separate dish for
luncheon.
Ragout of Cold Beef.-Cut into thin
slices cold, rare beef, and season with
pepper, salt and a little nutmeg. Crack
the bones of the roast into small
pieces and put into a stewpan with all
the skin and trimmings of the meat
Cover with cold water and cook them
for an hour or two before you are
ready to make the ragout; then strain
through sieve, return the broth to the
stewpan, add half large onion cut
fine, a heaping teaspoonful Of minced
parsley, half cupful of tomato catsup,
a cupful Of canned tomato and blade
Of mace. Simmer for ten minutes, then
put in the meat; let it get boiling hot.
and simmer ten minutes more. Mix a
Tablespoonful of flour with a table
spoonful of butter the size of an egg;
stir it in, let it boil up, add table
spoonful of kitchen bouquet Of cara
mel and serve. A glass Of wine and a
tablespoonful of currant jelly are add
ed by those who like them.
Another Way-Slice rare, cold roast
beef thin. Melt in a frying pan butter
the size of an egg and lay in the meat;
brown nicely, then add blade OF
mace, cayenne pepper, salt, wine
glassful of Drowned flour and stir all
together over the fire. Add half pint
of broth made from bones and trim
mings of the roast, simmer five min
utes. Add a glass of port wine, a
tablespoonful of caramel and let 1t
boil up once and serve.

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one OF the
most trying things Is to have the body
work of his car get shabby. The fol-
lowing mixture makes an excellent
"restorer" for the body work: One
pint Of turpentine, one pint Of wood al
cohol, one quart of distilled or rain
water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mix
the alcohol and turpentine together,
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the old
adage about oil and water not min
ing, it Is necessary to place the kero-
sene and water in a gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpentine,' which
have been previously mixed, and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix
ed. The mixture is apt to separate
after standing, but can always be
brought together again by brisk shah
ing. The mixture should be applied
to the body work with the soft side
of flannel cloth and polished with q
dry one

the whites whip more easily.
To test mussels add an onion when
baking them. If the onion turns black,
the mussels should not be eaten. as
they are not good.
The white of an egg applied to a
scald or burn will prevent infamma-

and will relieve the singing pain.

dash of sugar as well as salt They
will be far more floury then If only
salt were used.
