The Red Cross Seals
(Bennington Banner.l

The sale of the Red Cross seals at
this season of the year calls to every
body's attention the fight that the
whole civilized world is making against
tuberculosis. We are often discouraged
by the failure of the treatment in
some particular case but in totals the
result so far is amazing. The aggregate
yearly number of deaths from tubereulo-
sis has been reduced one half and in
the other cases the progress of the
disease has been materially delayed. In
time tuberculosis viii be conquered but
it will take years of patient effort and
much money. The state of Vermont has
an annual appropriation Of $4,000 to
aid poor people afflicted with tuberculo-
sis. 1t is a small sum for such an i'm
portant work but it helps little and
it may be increased as the demands on
it grow. Anyone wishing aid from this
fund should put in their request as
early as possible.

THE RIB u r e TOR

The carburetor is small, malignant at
tachment to an automobile which is used
for demonstration purposes, after which 1t
is removed and replaced by a suffering
imitation OF milk strainer.
The purpose of the carburetor is to take
a swallow of waterized gasolene and pure
fresh air and mix them together in equal
parts. A good carburetor will do this
without getting red in the face. When the
mixture is ready for use it is sprayed into
the cylinders through the front teeth o.
the carburetor which then reaches back
into the gasolene tank and takes another
swallow. Once in a while the carburetor
Will swallow too much and choke, causing
the engine to miss several important i'm
pulses and imparting an undulating motion
to the car, like riding in an elevator with
the St Nitus dance.

It happens to run into. Notwithstanding
this fact, which is plainly printed in short
crisp language on red card tied around its
neck, the first thing the new automobile
owner wants to do is to adjust it to the

great military people, the Prussians,
is indicated by the returns published
summarizing the official casualty lists

Because Adler-i-ka acts on both lower

prising foul matter that few doses Of

buretor manufacturers could persuade in
quisitive owners to keep profane hands off
their product long enough to ascertain
whether the trouble is in the clutch or the
spark plugs, there would be fewer high
priced service men in the madhouse.
The carburetoT is a summer device, and
works at its best when the thermometer
is at the melting point. Along in the fall
of the year most carburetors contract 4
severe cold in the head, and have to be put
on a diet of Decent gasolene, which is not
more than 80 per cent water. This Is
termed a rich mixture, because nobody
who is not rated in six figures can afford
to use 1t. Some carburetors have to be
fed hot air in large quantities. and thrive
upon it well as a candidate for congress
who is about to distribute few postoffices.
The life of the carburetor Is usually longer
than that of the man who tries to hurdle a
wooden culvert with the cut-out open.
