apple or almost any kind OF fruit, but
don't smoke until the time is up. The
nerves, being deprived of their morning
stimulant, are crying for nourishment,
which nature is Fastening TO supply

digestion. BY the time the first cigar
is entirely eliminated the cure is eff

KING OF URBAN TREES.
Qualities That Adopt the Elm TO Ar
chitectura Surroundings.

The elm Ia essentially self sufficient
tree. Ii does not thrive in groves. IL
has standard type of its own, and II
either attains this type or is lost to
view The elm which comes TO ma
turity is usually the one which has
lodged in Il favored spot where there
is no competition, such as river
meadow. where the spring freshets
have dropped the seed on fertile soil
and the roots can get down to water.
We all know the type, the noble trunk
of massive girth tapering very grad
ually upward 10 the first spring OF
branches and then dissolving into those
branches as water jet might dissolve
in many upward and out curvfhg
streams till the whole is lost in the
spray of the foliage. Like many other
trees that grow alone. II develops an
exquisite symmetry. But with the elm
this symmetry Is not only one of gen.
eral contour, but of individual limbs.
Not only is the silhouette symmetrical,
but the skeleton also. branch balanc-
ing branch.
That is what gives It its remarkable
fitness to comport with architectural
lines, with geometrically designed Wis

consequent dignity which make IT the

A LUCKY STONE.
Maybe the Part II Played Was Merely
That of Coincidence.

That of Coincidence.
In his book, THE Magic of Jewels
and Charms" George f. KunZ relates
this little story of a lucky stone and
the adventures of it's owners:
Some years ago a meteorite was
given to Edward Heron Allen, the ia
nous writer on palmistry and the VIC
lin. and this gifted man always wore it
about him One morning he awakened
to find that the entire roof above him
had fallen In, except just that portion
over his bed.
"1e told the story TO one of the best
known ladies in Boston. one who is
known for her public spirit, her love Of
art and her fautleSs manner of enter
tanning. This lady successfully urged
Allen to give her the meteorite.
"A few days later, while out driving,
a great truck with two runaway horses
attached to it struck her carriage. In
stinctively she raised her muff TO pro-
tect her face. The muff was almost
cut in two, but the lady was not hurt
A few days later, while she was walk
ing under some scaffolding, it fell, and
the open part where the hoists went
up proved to be just where she stood
Although surrounded by ruin. she re
manned unframed"
Whether the stone was a factor i'm
averting disaster to it's owners in their
moments of peril is. however, matter
apart from the facts in the case.

COOKING Eqqs.

Eggs should never be cooked says
a culinary expert. THAT sounds odd.
but it is true, They should simply be
CONCEALED with slow heat. Every
where l hear complaints about souflles
and omelets. They fall or they never
rise But all that trouble could be
avoided if the cooks only understood
the relation of heat to eggs. The tenn
perature should always be below the
boiling point when eggs come in con-
tact with the water. Then the heat
will gradually penetrate the egg. The
result will be creamy mass instead
of hard and tough lump. That is the
main principle in regard to eggs, and
If that is followed cooks will not be
bewailing about their fiat omelets."

had never been to Rotterdam before. SO
after getting over the bar and well
away to the east he produced his
charts and made a learned inspection.
but the charts had been long time

lined to alarm him extremely. He

Self Possession,

A man who does not possess himself
enough to hear disagreeable things
without visible marks of anger and
change of countenance or agreeable
ones without sudden bursts of joy and
expansion of countenance is at the
mercy of every artful knave or pert
coxcomb. The former will provoke or
please you by design, to catch un-
guarded words or looks, by which, he
will easily decipher the secrets Of your
heart, OF which you should keep the
key yourself and trust it with no man
living. The latter will by this alb
surdity and without intending it pro
duce the same discoveries Of which
other people will avail themselves

What remedy can you suggest for a
rattle which occurs when my clutch is
disengaeed? II is Of the multiple disk
type with cork inserts.
The clutch rattle may possibly be
caused by the prongs on the shifting
bar not being an equal distance away
from the thrust bearing. This can be
determined by inserting a feeler gauge
between the prongs and the bearing,
and If one is found to be closer than
the other the distance should be equal
lied by bending back the one which IS
closest.
There is a tendency for rattle to
occur in this type of clutch when it
is disengaged, especially when coasting
on a down grade or when driving over
a rough spot, but this can be overcome
by bringing the shifting lever into
neutral position and allowing the
clutch TO remain engaged, especially
while eoasting down a grade.

What is the best way to care for

very two weeks and give the same at
entiOn that it would receive if it
we're in use in the car, such as adding
water, etc. If you wish to care for
he battery yourself you can change
every month by the generator in the

will have TO have the work done by
