We Americans have been extraya-
giant. We have literally educated our
selves to be careless with the most sx-
pensive things we buy. Price has heen
no object and our prosperity has led US
on and on until now we are Obliged to
face period of economy. We begin
with food. You are told to buy less
Of the necessities and to entirely use
what you do purchase. This economy
isn't going to prove hardship TO you.
You are still going to get all the food
you actually require and in addition
you are going to save yourself some
real money
II is conservatively estimated that
the carelessness OF American motor
car drivers during 1916 cost them in
round figures $50. 00o. 900, and this an
your share? You have contributed
your bit" You must now take this
tire problem seriously. Get every mile
out OF every tire that the manufacturer
has built into it. II you cont you
are the loser. and If everybody is a
loser then the tire dencit" for 1917
will outrival last year. for there are
thousands more motor car owners to-
day than there were year ago
You have been brought to realize
that a general food conservation is a
dire necessity but this isn't going to
work any real hardship for you will
merely save what you wasted before.
Nor Will tire economy" reduce the
pleasure of driving your car. On the
other hand, you will save much ex-
pense that you wasted through care
lessncss or abuse of your tires the past
season,
II you follow the advice given in this
article you viii! get more service from
your tires. regardless Of what make
they may be. and at the end OF the
season your expense will have been SO
much LEGS than IL ever was before that
you Will no longer neglect your tires.

The mileage was built into each tire
but tho car driver lost 1t through care

Injured by Chains.
illustration No. 1 shows the result of
Improper application OF tire chains. It
Is rarely that chains are necessary
with the modern tires OF to-day. but
when chains are used they should not
De applied tightly. Leave them just
loose enough so that every time the
wheel turns the cross chains will not
strike the same spot in the tire. II
you do not heed this advice you might
preserve this illustration AS an actual
photograph of your tire.
a more common tire injury is shown
TO faulty alignment OF the front wheels
n bent axle or steering knuckle may
be responsible. or possibly the de-
mountable rim was not perfectly ap-
piled.
Accidents are not always responsible
for the front wheels being out Of align
ment but frequently this is the case
All cars through no fault in manufac-
ture. are subject to this condition and
the first indication will be given when
you notice the tread Of one or both
tires wearing as though q rough fle
had been used on them. If the tread
becomes worn through. and the fabric
affected. then the tire Is beyond repair

sity of this. There is but one remedy

Studies of Famous Pictures.
We have chosen for study today the
work of an American artist, John w,
! Alexander. The picture called the
Pot of Basil" was inspired by
Keats poem of Isabel" 1t is most
exquisite harmony in color and feel
ing. The long lines Of the soft gray
ish-green robe, the graceful modelling
Of the arm and the pathos of the face,
make it a picture to be remembered.
Isabella was beautiful Florentine
maiden, living with her two brothers,
who planned to marry her to a rich
noble. They found, however, that
Larenzo, their servant had dared TO
/ love her, and that his love was re-
turned. This was not to be borne, so
the brothers slew Larenzc and buried
him.
In a dream Lorenzo appeared to lsa-
bella and told her where to find his
grave. She followed her lovers de-
scription, took the severed head, and
laid it in a garden pot covered 1t
with earth, and planted sweet BASH
therein.
The brothers wondering why she
always staid by her pot OF basil.
mourning, stole it, and discovered the
head of Lorenzo, fed from Florence.
Isabella pinned and died, with the
pitiful wall on her lips:

A wedding in which must interest
centers here was that of Miss Emma
Hand Stewart and Mr.. Carl Homer,
Jr., which was solmenized at high
noon Saturday in Calvary church, the
Rev James B. Lawrence officiating.
The impressive Episcopal ring cere-
mony was used.
The edifice, which had been prettily
decorated with ferns, stately palms
and forest pines, was comfortably NIL
ed by friends of the young couple, and
the scene presented was indeed beauti~
full The altar, draped in purest white,
was surrounded by handsome ferns.
the color motif of green and white be-
ing carried out in minutest detail, both
in decorations and costumes worn by
the wedding party.
The wedding party entered at the
west entrance of the church, the choir
in full nuptial white, being the first
t. enter. The organist, Mr.. Harry Will
liams, played beautifully, 20, Fair. 0,
Sweet, o, Holy" the words of the pro-
cessional filling the church with its
swelling volume.
AS the ushers, Mr.. j E. Giles and Mr..
Arnold McGillis entered the organist
played Mendelssohn's wedding march,
the bridal party grouping about the
chancel rail, where the vows were ex-
changed. Miss Katrina Bush, who
came from Wesleyan especially for the
ceremony, entered next, wearing a
gown of green taffeta silk and carrying
carnations Next came the matron OF
honor, Mrs. James Richardson, of Syl-
vester, sister of the bride, also wear
ing green taffeta. Her flowers were
carnations. Following the matron of
honor came the youthful ring-bearer,
Master Milton Richardson, who inn
mediately preceded the bride, who en-
tered leaning upon the arm of her
father, Mr.. Joseph Day Stewart. At
tired in a travelling suit of midnight
blue cloth, and carrying shower bou-
quet of carnations, the bride was never
more beautiful than on this occasion.
The groom with his best man, Mr..
Stewart, of Gray, Ca, entered from the
vestry room and met the bride at the
chancel rail.
During the exchanging of the vows
the white-robed choir, grouped about
the wedding party sang sweetly, "The
Voice That Breathed Ger Eden" and
during the solemn hush that followed
the Rev James B. Lawrence, with the
Young couple standing directly before
the altar on which in brass candle
sticks burned brightly, pronounced the
lords that made them man and wife.
AS the happy young couple left the
church Mr.. Williams played Lohen'
erin's wedding march, the members of
the wedding party going direct to
the Stewart home on Church street.
There a delicious luncheon was bril-
liantly served. after which MIR. and
Mrs. Holmer left for trip to Florida
