FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down in
Georgia went through food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is q won

and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and patients
gain, Just as I did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
II was in such q low state that
I had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact I
was not quite as well as when I left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that I must
change.
II began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks could walk q mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time I have felt as we'll and
strong as ever did in my life.

BOILING WATER.
Il 10 Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

Il 10 Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May 30 Barely Heated.
If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water is not always very hot
water, and this Is the way it happens
When water boils ordinarily 1t Is be-
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles Of the water. forcing upward
and outward In lively bubbles the air
which Is contained in them. This Is
done in spite Of the downward pres.
sure Of the atmosphere. After the wa.
ter has become hot enough to boil It
can get no hotter, because the air es.
capes as fast as It Is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure Of the atmosphere upon
the water is 40 slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the par.
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined in the water, SO 1t
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot. It ought hardly to be called cold
water. perhaps. but 1t Is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state Of things Is
found on all high mountain tops. as the
atmosphere grows weaker and its pres
sure less as one ascends.
A man travelling at great elevation
in the Andes mountains put some po-
tatoes in a pot Of water over hot fire.
The water began to boil almost i'm.
mediately. but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled, but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot enough.

TIP FOR MOTORISTS.
How TO Remove Greasy Dirt From
Your Lily White Hands.

How TO Remove Greasy Dirt From
Your Lily White Hands.
The owner of car who cares for his
vehicle to large extent generally
makes up his mind to having dirty
hands when some periodic and greasy
job falls due. There Is no real need
Tor this. as little care beforehand will
obviate the retention Of the greasy dirt
afterward. Before starting work on
a greasy piece Of machinery take CYL
1nder oil and rub 1t we'll into the skin.
After the work is done do not take the
CRIME Off by rubbing the hands on
waste or cloth. Instead put on some
more cylinder oil or any light oil lib.
orally. using 1t as you would soap and
water. When the oil has worked un.
der the grease and cut 1t loose from
the skin wipe the hands thoroughly on
piece Of waste. When you have wip-
ed of the oil you will find that it has
taken the CRIME with it. leaving the
hands ready for good wash with soap
and water. If the motorist will try a
tar soap for this final stage he will be
surprised at the results obtained. Ker.
Osene. gasoline or washing powders
should not be used. as they harden the
skin and give 1t tendency to crack.
When on the road the hands can be
made fairly presentable by using the
oil wash alone. leaving the soap and
water until reaching the destination.
This method Of keeping the hands in
shape Is used by many Of the mechan-
les in big repair shops and in motorcar
factories. It Is particularly useful
tip just at this time. when all the
cars in America are being run out of
the garages for their seasons work.
most of them by owners. who have no
decided preference for dirty hands.

Expert Advice For the
Automobile Owner
Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of
Importance to the Man Who Runs a Car
What makes the current flow in the
electric system Of a carr

What makes the current flow in the
electric system Of . carr
Electricity travels from the point OF
higher pressure to that Of lower pres.
sure. 1t travels in measurable quanti-
ties. and since these quantities have
direction Of flow and pressure they are
capable Of performing work. EIec-
trical pressure can be measured by
standard units. Water or air pressure
Is denoted by pounds to the square
inch. Electrical pressure Is measured
by volts. The amount Of water flow-
Ing through pipe Is calculated In
gallons per minute. The quantity OF
electrical current flowing through a
wire is calculated in amperes. Resist
ance to flow Of water through pipes
Is given by the co-efficient Of friction
and by measuring the Instructions In
the pipe. Resistance to electrical flow
Is measured in Ohms.
The amount Of current lowing Is
equivalent to the pressure divided by
the resistance or. using the units Of
measurement just defined. amperes
equals volts divided by ohms. This
equation is the basis of practically all
electrical calculations. 4 practical ex-
ample Is In a lamp. If we take a
head lamp Of twelve candle power and
say that 1t has resistance Of three
ohms and that it is intended for six
volt circuit it Is possible to determine
at once how many amperes are neces-
Sary to light the lamp. Applying the
equation, the amount Of current is
equal to six volts divided by three
ohms or two amperes.
Taking the simple elementary case
mentioned before Of q battery. q
switch and a lamp. the resistance to
the flow in the circuit is encountered
In the wire. in the switch and in the
lamp. The wire acts for the current
the same as the pipe does for water.
The smaller the pipe the greater the
amount Of resistance to flow. The
smaller the wire the greater the re.
ststance to the electric current. Poor
connections between the wire and the
switch would introduce resistance into
the line, as the current would be com.
PEELED to flow through the poorly made
contact at the points Of connection.
This would utilize some Of the pressure
that could otherwise be employed in
lighting the lamp. and the result Is
that the lamp would be dim. If It
takes six volts pressure to bring the
lamp to the proper degree of bright.
ness and other resistances in the line

down to four volts. the lamp instead
