It is hard to believe that one motor truck can do the work of twenty two horses, but that is what truck doing for D. A. Huntington, of Ked die, California The truck operates on stage line that formerly required the services of relays of eight -four horse teams, and 1t is doing the work more surely and much better in every way tdan the horses ever could. The original car purchased for this lin has nov run over 10000 miles, half of 1t over steep mountain grades.
 Motor truck useds have realized the wisdom of keeping the truck fros- standing idle to such an extent tha< they are making a concerted effort to have freight horses private 1eliyS- cry stations and wharves arranged and equipped with loading devices that are up to the times. With horse equipment things could move oniy about so fast anyway. and no atten- uon was given to these economics. This attention to loose ends has re suited in a remarkable saving in many instances and business has hecor . that much more efficient

AUTO BENEFICIAL TO HEAITH


 It is said that every time an auto mobile is sold the doctors lose five patients.
 This doesn't mean that the increase in automobiles will do away with the necessity for doctors, because there's is considerably faster than automo- b1les>are sold.
 It does mean that the general standard of health among those who use Automobiles is steadily rising It means that an ever-growing num- more fresh air and exercise. Directly and indirectly the automobile is proving a factor of ever-fncreasing 2 importance in bettering and making more efficient, from a health stand point, the lives of the untold thous- ands who use the greatest of all ad- ditions to improved machinery. The first great health benefit con- ferred upon mankind by the automo- bile is derived from the fact that | users of the vehicle get more fresh air. There is 8 vast difference be- while standing still, and breathing while riding in an automobile. The action Of the automobile forces a 1 vastly larger quantity of air into the lungs, and this air, forced under pres sure, as it were, penetrates to lung cells that are not reached by the air | in an ordinary breathing.
 1 One of the noticeable changes ob- served by physicians since the auto mobile came into general use has been in the decreasing amount of liv- CT trouble among automobile users In any automobile, no. matter how resilient the springs, there is a cer- tain amount of vibration due to bad roads. This may mean temporary | discomfort, but that discomfort is more than offset by the good this jolting does the liver of the auto1ni- 1 bile user. In walking, generally con sidered a fine exercise. there is very 1 little direct benefit to the liver. The great advantage of horseback riding is that such exercise stiFs up the liver and the other vital organs
 l This advantage accrues to the au- | tomobiIe user to an equally large ex- tent. True, the .jolting isn't so vio- lent, but the automobile goes farther than the horse. so that the aggregate | benefit is the same.

A REAL -DEMoNsTRAT4oN

A recent trial demonstration of the motorcycle-mounted fire fighting ap- para4us in New Paris, Ohio, became a real demonstration of the utility of such equipment when a telephone message announced that a farm house about six miles away was on fire and the adjoining buildings were endangered Without the loss of an instant the oubfit was plowinv it's way over the undiscovered roads to the form house. It arrived not only
 time to save the outbui1dings, but also extSnguished the blaze and prevented the house from being completely de- stroyed- Of course the officials of New Paris agreed that the demonstra- ton was satisfactory, and expect to secure such an outfit for the protec- ton of the buildings fin the village.

BREATHING IN THE WATER.
In Doing 1t Properly Lies the Secret OF
Success In SWIMMING.

Success In Swimming.
The way to avoid drowning, accord
ing to a swimming teacher, is to learn
how to swim Good swimmers don't
drown. They might die of chill or
starve to death. but as for drowning
pooh!
How about cramps?" he was asked.
Even good swimmers have cramps"
Cramps needn't cause moments
worry. I've seen thousands of good
swimmers seized with cramps, and
never a one was drowned. All they did
was to turn over on their backs and
either wait for help or paddle with
their free limbs. I've never heard of a
swimmer having cramps in both legs
and arms Even then his case would
not be hopeless.
There never was case of drowning
that was caused by cramps. That may
seem surprising after the countless
water tragedies that have been blamed
on cramps. Death in the water is caus-
ed by chill or strangling.
people strangle to death because
they are ignorant of the proper method
of breathing When they sink beneath
the water they hold their air passages
shut. When they come to the top they
have to breathe out the air they've
used while under water AS breathing
out takes fifty times as long as breath
ing in. they have no time to get fresh
supply of air before they go under
again. This keeps up until they breathe
in under the water and thus strange to
death
The process should be reversed.
Breathe in for the second you are
above water: then breathe out through
the nostrils while under the water, and
you can keep it up until you starve to
DEATH
"Nine-tenths of swimming is breath
ing, and movement is only one-tenth,'

Clever PIGEON.

A planter in South Carolina writes
that he once saw a hawk dart into Il
flock of pigeons. but miss his strike.
The pigeons scattered and the hawk
singled out one for pursuit The pigeon
rose to great height, always keeping
above the hawk to prevent it from
striking. When the pigeon got di-
rectly over an old horsepower gin
house it suddenly darted by the hawk
and came groundward like a shot. in a
line a few feet from the side of this
ginhouse. The hawk pursued, and like
two streaks they came down. Eight
feet from the ground the pigeon swerv-
ed aside under the ginhouse. The hawk
dashed headlong to it's death on the
ground.-Youth's Companion.

National Parks.

81 believe" says the general super
intendent of national parks, "that the
most important feature in the national
parks is the educational one In a ma
tional park the scenery or natural phe-
nomena is of such a character as to be
largely educational. am sure that no
one can go through Yellowstone Ma
tional park after hearing the roar OF
the hot springs and seeing the paint
pots without feeling that his education
has been materially augmented. Nor
can he leave Yosemite, after spending
enough time in there to see what gla-
cial action was. to see the highest wa
terfall in the world, the greatest trees
in the world. without feeling that his
mental horizon has been broadened."

WHEN THE BLOOD is PURE.
Then Disease Germs Are Rarely Able
to Infect Our Tissues.

The popular notion that the prompt
healing Of cut or other wound is an
evidence Of purity of blood has a sound
scientific basis. When the skin is bro
ken germs in large or small numbers
are thereby admitted to the sacred pre-
cincts Of the tissues from which they
are ordinarily excluded by the dense
structure of the skin. When the tissues
are maintained in a healthy state by
pure and vigorous blood the few germs
which enter are quickly destroyed, so
that the formation of pus, or SO called
suppuratiOn. does not occur, but when
the blood is not pure, SO that the serum
and the cells are not able to make the
necessary active defense, the germs
grow and develop, suppuration occurs
and the wound, if large may require a
long time to heal
We might represent this by picturing
in our mind a glass globe filed with
water and fishes and other small crea-
lures swimming about in it. Now i'm
agine that indigo, ink or cOlOring mat
ter Of some other sort is dropped into
the water. 1t will Immediately become
tinged, and if the coloring matter is of
a poisonous character the fishes will
soon show uneasineSs and unless re-
lieved by a replacement Of the impure
water by fresh supply will soon die.
This is just the condition of the living
cells of the body when bathed in i'm
pure blood. The stomach cells which
secrete the gastric juice, the muscle
cells which contract, the liver cells
which make bile, the brain cells which
think-eVery one is definitely and seri-
ously injured by the impurities brought
in contact with it. Impure blood, then,
must be regarded as the foundation Of
a large portion of all the diseases from
which human beings suffer-J. HI. Kel
