What's the moral? That wives

KEROSENE FOR MOTOR CARS
New York World)

Must new fuel be found for the
automobile engine as a condition of
its continued use in industry? The
discussion of the question by the So
ciety of Automobile Engineers shows
the critical nature of the situation
caused by the higher cost of gasoline.
In the case of motor-cars driven for
pleasure, the price of gasoline is a
matter of personal expenditure But
as respects commercial automobiles
and the numberless gas engines in
industrial use, the economical oper-
alton is clearly menaced by the in
Dictated rise of gas fuel to a prohibit
tive price by reason of the vastly in
creased demand in the face of ne
cessarily restricted output.
In the ten-year period between
1906 and 1915 the production of
crude petroleum in the United States
more than doubled, increasing from
134,717,5S0 barrels to 220,312,535.
Yet, while the amount of the refined
produce used for Illuminating pur-
poses remained practically station
airy, the amount of naptha, benzine
and gasoline distilled increased
eight-fold, rising from 32,756, 694
gallons to 251 1874. AS gallon
of oil yields but a fractional part in
gasoline, the urgency of the problem
is evident The government process
for "trebling the output of gaso-
line" from a given amount of petrol
cum has been at the disposal of re-
finers for year without improving
matters, and with approximately
100000 motor vehicles in use by
the end of the current year and more
to come, it is obviously high time for
invention to come to the aid of the
autombile industry with a new fuel
if it's progress is not to be seriously
impeded.
Mr.. f. S. Foljambe, at the meeting
of automobile engineers, recommend
ed an award of prizes for the most
efficient devices for adapting kero-
sene OF some less volatile fuel than
gasoline to the uses of automobile
engines. A prize in the way OF
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice
will reward the engineer who invents
successful device of the kind.

hold on though as long as ] could,
for I had family to support, and
made up my mind that just as Ions
as | could drag myself around

Zone day wife told me what she
had read in the papers, and what
the neighbors were saying about
Tanlac, and begged me to try it .
She had read about man who had
taken it, who described my case ex-
actly, and he was getting lots better,
but ] had tried all kinds of medi-
cines, so | didn't have much hope of
, it doing me much good Besides, my
doctor had already told me | would
have to be operated on in order to
get relief. Something just told me
though, it might help me, and | de-
cided to try it.
After I had taken it a day or two
| got so hungry ] Just simply had to
eat, and I did eat, and you can be-
lieve me or not, nothing seemed to
hurt me a particle. My wife said to
me, 'Tanlac must be helping you,
