NORMAL WOMAN NOT s INTERESTED IN POLITICS

 as If Woman Suffrage was a success
 in the western states there might be
 some excuse for trying it here in Con-
 necticut- Assit is Woman Suffrage is proving. a. failure in the west. B. B.
 Shell of Tacoma, Wash, for eight
 years judge of the Superior court, writes that he voted for Woman Suf- frage because he thought woman s vote would uplift politics, but he is convinced now that it was a mistake He says: If the question was sub n11tted toswomen alone and every wo- man was compelled to vote I believe Woman Suffrage would be strongly defeated in Washington. Many wo- men will not vote, while others vote for self-defense to offset the vote
 of the undesirable women who Ido vote. The same thing might justly
 be said of the women in the other
 Suffrage states. The normal woman
 is not interested in politics Her house and her children are her. real interests. It is to her credit and for
 the good of the state that this is so. Women are not inferior to men,
 neither are they superior. They are
 different

for he =well-knOwS that an under-1n5
 f1ated tire will give greater riding com fort, as it absorbs the vibration and shock more quickly and thoroughly. After he has driven his tire under inflated and received a much less than normal mileage from it he is brought face to face with the increase in tire expense which he has brought upon himself.
 The personal equation of the dr1v- CT has to be considered; the tendency not to see that the tires are properly inflated; the manner in which he drives. The service of the car, whether for light or heavy work, the climate and seasons, geographical lo- cation, the type of road bed, the use of shock absorbers, the spring equip
 ment and the distribution of the load of the car, are also factors. Some motor manufacturers are inclined to equip their cars arbitrarily with tires not sufficiently large to perform the required service, unless inflated to pressure making them so rigid as to cause the cars to ride as though equipped with solid tires. This is a short sighted practice, for. the reason that if the user keeps his tires inf1at- ed excessively, he shortens the life of his car and increases his car repair tain the good will of his customer, as he would by putting on tires of sufh- cfent cubica1 content. This condi- ton caused the manufacturers to de- sign what is commonly known as the
 oversize tire, which was first pur- chased by the tire user after he found out that his car was under-tired, and has since been adopted by. many mo- tor car manufacturers.

:. PRoPER MFLATIoN

It has been stated that an oversize tire properly inflated will not last longer than a regular size tire pump ed to its regular imitation pressure. The oversize tires with, larger GU bi- cal contents of air space will perform a greater amount of work because there is less heat to develop in them. They will pass over stones and receive tn eshocks of the road with less dan ger at breaking the tire, fabric be- cause the additional amount of cush- ion in the air within it. They are less additional strength and carrying ca pacfty, which not only increases the tire life, but afford easier riding
 The manufacturers are trying to educate the user to see that his tires are kept inflated to the pressure by taking readings with tire pressure gauge. of which there are several reliable makes on the market at a moderate price. Adjustments are being made on this basis. As in years gone by, many of the users do not have pressure gauge, but judge the proper imitation by kicking the tire to see whether it is hard enough In most cases where this crude method is used and tire gauge is afterwards applied, it is found, that the tires wrre from 20 to 30 per cent under inflated. There is, however, great
 
 along this line today.
 Practically all the tire manufactur- CTS use yearly uniform table, giving the weight different sized tires are de- signed to carry at "a stated imitation pressure. If tires were used in ac- cordance with this table, the pros and cons of tire imitation would be reduced to minimum, and the owners of cars would not be complaining about short mileage.
 The heat generated within a tire has much to do with the air-pressure used-the faster the speed the greater the heat. The greater the heat the greater the strain on account of the expansion of air within the tire. Con- l tinuous driving generates excessive heat.s as well as driving in hot wealth CT. Excessive heat is injurious to the 1 shoe and causes rapid deterioration If there is not sufficient volume o1 compressed air within the tire, due to using an improper size, to absorb all 1 of the shock and vibration, the sur plus shock and. vibration is transmit 1 ted to the car. The greater the vol une of air in tire the less the in crease of heat and strain when driv- ing at great speed or doing heavy work.
 A tire should be sufficiently large not to f1atten at the point of road fcontact more than IA per cent. of its lsectiona1 diameter or on an average 1z i per cent. to give good service. l A tire of sufficient volume to prop er1y carry a load with proper tire pressure will, if not properly inflated deteriorate much more rapidly from excessive dexing, causing tho fabric to break down quickly, and is much more liable to puncture. Still the user, closes his eyes to these facts, when he considers only the personal comfort of the occupants of the car,

the investigators found that 0.62 of a pound of
borax, or 0.75 of a pound of calcined coemanite
(crude calcium borate) would kill the maggots
and prevent practically all of the flies ordinarily
breeding in eight bushels of horse manure from
developing. This proved by placing manure
In cages and comparing the results from piles
treated with borax and from untreated piles.
The borax, 1t found, killed the fly eggs and
maggots In the manure and prevented their
growth into flies.
In the case of garbage cans or refuse piles,
two ounces of boTax or calcined colemanite, cost
ing from five cents pound upward, according
to the quantity which is purchased will efectual-
ly prevent flies from breeding.
While 1t can be safely stated that no injurious
action has followed the application of manure
treated with borax at the rate of go pounds for
eight bushels, or even larger amounts in the case
Of some plants, nevertheless borax-treated ma.
nure has not been studied in connection with the
growth of all crops nor has its cumulative effect
been determined. 1t is therefore recommended
that not more than Is tons of the borax-treated
manure should be applied per acre to the field.
AS truck growers use considerably more than this
amount, is is suggested that all cars containing
borax-treated manure be so marked, and that
public health officials stipuate in their directions
for this treatment that not over 80 (62-100) OF a
pound for eight bushels OF manure be used, as
it has been shown that larger amounts Of borax
will injure most plants It Is also recommended
that all public health officials and others in
recommending borax treatment for killing ny
eggs and maggots in manure warn the
public against the injurious effects Of large
amounts OF borax on the growth of plants.
Purchasers Of manure produced in cities during
the hy-breeding season should insist that the
dealers from whom they purchase give them
certified statement as to whether not the
manure in the particular car or lot involved in
the purchase has been treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that contains boFax
care is also recommended, especially when the
animals are being fattened for market. Borax is
not very poisonous substance and the feeding
Of garbage that contains it 70 hogs is not likely
to be serious matter, On tie other hand. borax
in large quantities does produce gastric dis
turbances and for this reason a certain amount
OF care Is advisable.
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1915-06-10

The method for using this substance in the
case Of stables is to sprinkle the borax or cole
mantle in the quantities given above, by means
of flour sitter other fine sieve, around the
outer edges of the pile of horse manure. The
manure should then be sprinkled Immediately
with two or three gallons of water to eight BUSH
els of manure. 1t is essential however, to sprin-
kle little of the borax on the manure as 1t ia
added daily to the pile instead of waiting until
full pile is obtained because this will prevent
the eggs which the flies lay on fresh manure
from Matching. AS the fly maggots congregate at
the outer edge OF the manure pile, most Of the
borax should be sprinkled there.
Borax costs Ave to six cents per pound in 100
pound lots in Washington, and it is estimated
that at this rate 1t would cost only one cent per
horse per day to prevent all breeding of flies in
city stables If calcined colemanite is purchased
in large shipments, this cost should be consider
ably less. At the same time, II the borax is used
on the manure only in the proportions stated.
its value for in the garden or for sale to
farmers will not be lessened.
In view of this discovery there now seems
little excuse for any horse owner or resident Of
a city allowing typhoid flies to breed in his stable
or garbage can.
1t is believed that this information will greatly
help the health authorities in their campaign
against the typhoid fly. The health authorities
have long tried to prevent the breeding of flies in
city stables through the use of iron sulphate q
larvacide. In the case Of iron sulphate, however.
large amount is required, and other insecticides.
such paris green or potassium cyanide, while
effective in killing flies, are very expensive or
extremely poisonous. Borax, which is used free
ly in most households, and is readily available
in all parts of the country, has the advantage OF
being comparatively nonpoisonous and nonin-
hammable readily soluble in water and easy to
handle. 1t can be purchased at retail for ten
cents pound, and a single pound used as d.
rected In garbage pail or open toilet may pre-
vent the breeding of hundreds OF dangerous fiss.
