 Answers From the Holy Bible

1 evil, and do good: let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers; but thea of th6 Lord is against them ,tlk do evil.s And who is he that wKlKarm you, if ye be followers of 9d.1a thashieh l|sg is ,g2s good? l Pet. iii:
 Q.-Doth it profit one to be merci- ful toward all men?
 %A.--The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. The wicked worketh deceitful work; but to him that seweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.-Prov. xi:17-18.
 Q.-Is God merciful to all who come to Him?
 A.-Now, be ye not stiff f-necked, as your fathers were, but yield your selves unto the Lord, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sancti- fled forever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. For the Lord your God is gracious and merci- full, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him. II Chron. xxx:8-9.
 e. Should we pray for wisdom?
 A.-Lord, Thou hast been our dwell- ing place in all generations. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Re- turn, o Lord, how long? and let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. o satisfy us early with Thy mercy: that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and es- tablish Thou the works of our hands upon us; yet, the work of our hands establish Thou it.-Ps. xc:12-17.

ECONOMY DRIVER EXPLAINS.
Common Sense Rules Are Called for By Maxwell Drivers to Save
 Burning of Motor Fuel.

Many people comment on the big mileage that Maxwell cars obtain in day after day performances. There are thousands of automobile drivers who do not understand how the Max we'll drivers get from 20 te 50 miles on one gallon.
 The Graphic is printing the method of economy driving as told by D. B. Larkin of Portland, Ore, who made more than 46 miles on one gallon in the recent Maxwell Liberty bond con test
 In order to get the greatest gaso- line efficiency from a Maxwell car, according to Larkin, is to first keep the motor in perfect working order. Clean oil is necessary.
 The carbureter is to be adjusted so as thin mixture as possible is obtained. The bearings should be kept clean, free and properly lubri- cated. '!iNsT
 Another important feature is the oiling of all parts of the springs. Par ticular attention is to be paid to this as 20 per cent. greater efficiency may be had if it is done.
 Tires are to be filled to full ca pacity, about ,63. pounds pressure be- ing required. !
 When driving the windshield is best tilted back so as to offer the least resistance as possible to the wind Brakes are not to be allowed to drag.
 It is best to maintain a speed of about 20 miles an hour, or therea- bouts. The driver in keeping the fuel pressure even and steady assures greater economy as fluctuation uses up more gasoline than a steady flow.
 Coasting is legitimate and is high ly important in the saving of fuel. Where the grade is long it is best to shut the engine entirely off. If the grade is short better results are had if the engine is kept barely turning over. The gasoline consumption is not as great by this as it is in start ing the engine.
 Evening is the best time to make long drives as the gasoline lasts long- ed than during the day time hours.

German East Africa by British forces,
according to an account of the battle

by Maj. Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, the
former Boer commander, and resulted
in giving the British control of all the
coastline and the inhabitable portion
of German East Africa.
For two weary months, writes Reu-

up great dumps of food and ridding it
self of Its sick and wounded. Then it
moved forward from Morogoro. The
object of the advance was the election
of the enemy from his trenches on the
Mgeta river and the seizure of the
passages of the Rufiji river
The battle was directed and con-
