DEMANDS CAR OF QUALITY
Farmer Usually Buys Automobile for

When the farmer buys a motor car

on say so. And he particularly
searches for the hidden quality. The
average city man is very strong for
looks and design. but only in rare cases
is he possessed of much knowledge Of
mechanics and then, too. he is
schooled in the proposition that even
il something goes wrong with his car
it is only step TO a garage.
But the countryman adopts an en-
tirely different attitude when he buys
a car. He is usually motor wise. He
has been operating his farm machin.
cry by gasoline engine and is familiar
with the principle and operation Of
motors. He has before him at all
times the thought that he must have
a car that will take him there and
back In other words, he will not
take chances on a car that may strand
him ten miles from home and three or
four from help.
HE is a close reader OF motor-car
advertising literature In most cases
when he plans buying a car he has
been giving the subject thought for a
year or so and reading up on it. He
keeps the salesman on his toes with
his questions and he demands abso

WHY "ANURIC'

Sufferers from Baskaehe, Rheumatism and kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will

When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog. you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago. rheumatism and

Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three

GOOD
ROADS
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
Growth in Popularity Indicated by
Rapid Increase In Recent Years
in United States.

The mileage CT concrete pavements
in the United States has increased
rapidly, and it is likely to continue
to increase, according to a new bulle-
tin Of the United States department
OF agriculture. This bulletin gives
the estimated amount OF concrete
pavement in the United States in 1914
as 100000 square yards; in 1909 1t
was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantage of concrete
pavements which have led to this in
crease in popularity are said TO be:
1. Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions.
2. A smooth, even surface Offering
little resistance.
3. Absence of dust and ease with
which 1t may be cleaned.
4. Comparatively small cost Of
maintenance until renewals are neces-
sary.
5. Availability as base for another
type Of surface if desirable.
6. Attractive appearance
In commenting upon these advan-
tages the bulletin states that the dur
ability of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practice, be-
cause there are no very old pave
ments as yet in existence, but from
the condition of those which have un-
dergone several years service it
seems probable that they will be
found TO wear well.

Leaking Of Fianse Joint.

Nothing is more exasperating than
the persistent leaking of fiange joint
on the manifold. where copper is used
for the gasket. The trouble, however,
nearly always can be remedied by cut
ting a groove around the post with a
cold chisel and another around the
hole in the fiange. When the studs
which hold the manifold in place are
drawn up, the gasket is compressed
and partly fills the grooves, sealing
the joint
