BOOM IN TRUCK SALES
BOUND TO FOLLOW DEMAND FOR
AMERICAN HORSES.
Seems Certainty That Merchants
VIII Have to Look to Motor
Vehicles for Delivery.

Conditions are more favorable now
than they have ever been for the adop-
ton of motor trucks and delivery
wagons by American business con-
Germs. The demand for horses and
mules for export to Europe gives an
unexpected chance for large users of
horses to sell them at good prices, and
use the money to buy power equip
ment.
Representatives of English, French
and Russian governments, who are re-
ported to have received orders during
the last few weeks for the purchase
of 10000 additional horses and mules,
are reported to be paying a uniform
price of $270 head in East st. Louis.
At Fort Worth, Tex, prices have ad-
vanced SIT over last year as a result
of the demand. The first shipment on
an order for 5000 started for Montreal
last week. Trainloads of horses and
mules are going from the West and
Southwest daily to Canada and Allan
tic ports. Germany is said to be offer
ing from $500 to $500 for good horses.
Europe has already begun to. drain
the United States and Canada of their
surplus grain crop, and prices of corn,
oats and hay are certain to rise. Ex-
ports of oats from July 1 to October
"a were 100000 bushels-just dou-
BILE the exports for the corresponding
period last year. So it is going to cost
more than ever before to maintain
horses.
Motor trucks and delivery wagons,
on the other hand, are better and
cheaper than ever before, with list
prices already fixed for the next 10
months. Gasoline is lower than at
any time since the motor vehicle be-
came a factor in transportation.

REMOVES THE CARBON
EFFECT OF WATER ON A MOTOR
CARBUREToR.
Discovery Made by Accident Has
Proved Great Boon to Every
Automobile User.

An ignorant laborer in the testing
room of an engine factory is respon-
sible for one of the greatest boons to
motorists ever discovered.
A tester had just started kerosene
engine, and as it is necessary to
Given" up kerosene motor with gas
oline injected from a squirt can into
the air intake of the carburetor, he
was industriously helping the machine
along when the squirt can ran dry.
Calling the laborer, he told him to
fill the can with gasoline. The laborer,
not understanding English very well,
filled the can with water and brought
it back to TIA tester.
Meanwhile the engine was running
along as best it could, smoking and
missing fire, until a little gasoline"
was shot into it from the refilled
squirt can, when, to the establishment
Of the tester, the motor picked up
speed and ran without smoking.
Naturally he investigated matters
and eventually traced the improve

then tried it on gasoline motor and
discovered that while it did not
greatly affect the operation of a gaso-
line engine that it would remove the
carbon collected on the inside Of the
cylinders.
1t is surprising how few repair men,
experts and motor car drivers know
about this handy method of removing
carbon from motor. Here are in
structions for it's use:
Procure a squirt can, fill it with wa
ter, start your motor, raise the bon
net on the carburetor side and with
the can inject few drops of water
into the air intake of the carburetor
while the motor is running. Keep this
up few drops at time for several
minutes. 1t certainly is easier than
taking the motor down to scrape out
the carbon, and really does clean out
the motor in good shape.

LIMOUSINES MADE OF PASTE
Composition Used by French Builders
Is Declared to Be Complete
Success.

A firm of French builders recently
has perfected a method of using what
is styled wood cement for making mo-
tor car bodies, apparently with con-
siderable success. In using the mate
rails the exact composition of which
is kept secret, the body is built of a
light framework, over which is
stretched wire netting. The wood
paste is then literally plastered on
with a trowel.
1t dries quite hard in "a hours, after
which it can be planed like wood, and
is capable of taking on very high
finish. The weight of the finished body
is approximately the same as the
weight of an ordinary wooden one.
One valuable feature of the con-
struction is that repairs are very cas-
lily made. In case of breaks caused
by collision, ETC., it is necessary mere
ly to plaster up the hole and refinish
the body. The material does not chip
nor disintegrate, is impervious to wa
ter, heat or cold, and is quite incom-
bustible.

delivery, and back goes the truck to
Montreal with it's load of milk cans.
All in all, the truck is in use on
an average of twenty hours a day by
Mr.. Dupuy and his men, and needless
to say its work is found vastly more
efficient and much less expensive than
the old-fashioned methods of team

What to. Do to Get Fat
and Increase Weight
The Real Cause Of Thinness
a PhYsieian,s ADVICE.

Mos, thin people eat from four to
six pounds OF good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not IN
crease in weight one ounce, while on
tha ot..er hand many OF the plump,
chunky folks eat very lightly and
keep gaining all the time. It's all
bosh TO say that this Is the nature of
the Individual 1t isn't Natures way
at all
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers OF assimilation are defective.
They absorb just enough of the GOOD
they eat to maintain life and sam
blance OF health and strength. Stuff
ing won't help them. A dozen meals
a day won't make them gain a single
.stay there pound. All the fat-pro-
ducing elements of their food just
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements SO
that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body
something, too. that will multiply
their red blood corpuscles and in
crease their blood's carrying power
For such condition always recon-
mend eating Sargol tablet with
every meal. SargoI Is not, as some
believe. q patented drug, but is a
scientific combination of six of the
most effective and powerful flesh
building elements known to chemfs-
try. Il is absolutely harmless, yet
wonderfully effective and a single
tablet eaten with each meal often has
the effect OF increasing the weight
of a thin man or woman from three
to five pounds a week Sargol is sold
by Wilkinson & Co. and other good
druggists everywhere on a positive
guarantee OF weight increase or
