DOUBLE SERVICE
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
CxI znnn Kill CT,
Absolutely PunctureproOf

Absolutely PunctureProof
Double Service Tires are double the
thickness of the best standard make
tires.
This 100 per cent greater wearing
surface naturally gives that much more
mileage and service. The average of
II miles of tough fabric and one inch
surface tread rubber makes these tires
absolutely punctureproof.
These tires excel all others for use in
the country over rough and rugged
roads as well as on hard pavements.
They are as easy riding and resilient as
any other pneumatic tire-the air space
and pressure being the same.
They are the most economical and
"care free" tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire troubles cannot be tolerated.
Many Double Service style tires are in
use in the United States government
and European War service.
Our output, is limited to certain
amount, but for a short time we offer
the following reduced special prices as

Household BacterioloEy.

In the vegetable kingdom are micro
organisms, the smallest and simplest
plants known. They live in the soil
and water and are found everywhere.
Dust is the conveyance of these organ
isms. Dust is an age old enemy, we
cannot get rid of him. So long as there
are people and furnishings there will be
dust. It does no harm, except to irri-
tate the mucous membrane, scratch fur
niture, worry the housekeeper and oc-
cupy space.
Wind is the agent for distributing the
dust. In our dust gardens we find use
full and non-useful plants. In the or
binary garden the non-useful plants
would be destroyed, but the plants of
the dust garden are not visible to the
naked eye as the garden may be our
food, our bodies or the dust in our
house. A dust gafden prepared of beef
broth jelly will show development in
side of twenty-four hours.
These plant micro-organisms are
divided into three classes: bacteria,
mold and yeasts.
Bacteria are carried in the dust on
fruit and vegetables, and by insects.
They are found everywhere in the air,
soil, water, food and body.
Bacteria reproduces very rapidly if
warmth, moisture and food supply is
right. 1t may reproduce a new genera
ton in half hour. Thus a single bac-
terra in two days would fill pint cup.
This does not occur however, as there
are many checks. All bacteria are not
harmful however, some are of great
economy in nature.

The DaTdaneIIeS.

A little more than year ago the
writer left Constant;nople on a beauti-
ful summer evening, on an Egyptian
ship bound from the Turkish capital to
Athens. Across the sea of Marmors
the ship steamed during the night 2 d
in the morning upon awakening we
saw the land on either side. Our boat
was then going through the Darda-
nelles, that strip of deep water from
one to four miles wide and about forty
miles long which divides the continent
of Europe from the continent of Asia.
At that time the trend of the trav-
eller's thought was to the past, for all
of that near eastern country has more
historic than present interest. At our
left was Asia, and only few miles in
land was the site of ancient Troy where
the Greeks waged their war of revenge
and from which the remnant of the
Trojans fled under the leadership of
Aeneas to ultimately found the con-
quering Roman race A few miles
further were the ancient cities of Asia
Minor, where Paul and the early Chris
tan workers founded the first churches
of the great religion which is now over
coming all others. And not far away
was Palestine, the land of the Bible,
the greatest birthplace in all the world.
On the right hand, as the waters in the
Dardanelles gathered behind US, was
Europe, the old time Macedonia, from
whence the call came to come over and
help, and to light up the world. Across
this Dardanelles Xerxes had built the
bridge for his great army which was to
overwhelm the Grecian republics, but
which finally melted before the Spar
tan phalanx and was pursued by the
ships of Athens.
At that time the shores of the Oar
danelles were peepled with the folks of
thousands of years ago, with memories
of history, with tradition and with
legend. Little attention was payed to
the Turkish Forts on both sides which,
after the fashion of modern forts, were
concealed as much as possible by ma
ture's screens and by mans devices.
For couple of hours our ship passed
along this old well travelled water road
of war and commerce and then turned
southwark toward the island of Smyrna.
There was no thought then that within
a comparatively short time the war
vessels would be entering the Oar
danelles showering the forts with shells
and shrapnel and themselves facing the
danger of cannon shot and hidden
mines.
Hardly any place in the world has
been so fought over and marched across
by armies or has occupied so important
place in the changing events of his
tory as the Dardanelles, that stream
which is really a big river connecting
the waters of the open sea with the
small land-bound sea of Marmora on
whose furthermost shore is the great
city of Constantinople.- Y. Morgan

The canvas which was stretched over
the cold frames to protect the tomato
plants, served its purpose well when
the hard rain fell; though in some
places where the canvas was not well

plants, but they will soon straighten up
again. The plants are growing nicely.
