at the above conclusion. They also
evolved plan which will probably be
put into effect.
The plan discussed was to save as
much as possible of the food which
would otherwise be wasted by forming
ia volunteer organization of automo-
bilists to go about and gather 1t up.
Inasmuch as both the food and the
automobiles are undoubtedly available
In most sections of the country. the
plan should be workable.
Fruit and Vegetable Surplus.
The food supply gathered in this way
would consist chiefly of the surplus
production Of fruits and vegetables
upon farms and suburban places. This
surplus production, which Is generally
either wasted or fed to stock, is much
greater than most persons realize. 1t
is due to the simple and inevitable
circumstance that no farmer can accu-
rately predict how much Of a given
truck of fruit crop his garden or or
chard win yield in given year. For
example, one farmer who was consult
ed with regard to this plan said sew.
eraf tons of good food were wasted
upon his place every year, because he
produced more than he could use In
fruits and vegetables, but seldom had
enough at any one time to make II
profitable to haul the stuff to market

is not in use. These disks are carried
on toggle arms fulcrumed on the cross
wise shaft.
Discharge Of Sand.
When the driver moves his lever for
ward, the outlet pipes swing down
and backward, the opening of the
disks on the pipes increasing as
the lever is moved forward. When
the ends of the outlet pipes are
nearest the peripheries of the
whees. the disks are fully open.
The greatest amount of sand is dis
charged when they are in this position.
In intermediate positions they are not
open so wide, so that a smaller amount
is deposited on the roadway.
This method for preventing skidding
is less severe on the tires than any of
the others now in use. Chains placed
on the rear tires, for example, tend to
wear themselves into the tires. The
indentations they make weaken the
tires prematurely. When sand is dis
charged under the tires, there Is no
more wear than when an automobile is
travelling over a country road. No In
dentations are made, and the life of
the tires is not shortened as a con-
sequence.
The sand makes 1t possible to travel
over Icy pavements as well as over
roads that are simply slippery from the
Unpopular Science Monthly.

Such oils as are extractions Of seeds
and nuts are more and more common
on the market and may be found after
fair trial to be worth consideration.
The distinctive flavors which have
been the only objection to them are
gradually being eliminated by greater
care In their preparation. There are
those who have become accustomed to
the flavor by frequent use.
Olive oil is valuable food much
recommended by dieteticians. A salad
dressed with oil and served with
cracker or two, with piece of cheese
and cup Of cocoa will supply all
the nutriment needed for an ordinary
luncheon.
The value Of soups, unless cream or
purees, is rather overestimated, as
the food value of strong broth which
is ninety-five per cent water, even tast-
ing good, is not very great. Soups
serve valuable purpose in stimulat-
ing the flow of gastric juices to meet
the heavy dinner which follows.
Cheese In combination with rice or
macaroni will take the place of meat
at luncheon or even q dinner. Crack
ers busted with cheese and served with
the salad add much food value to the
meal. Cheese must not be looked
upon only as relish and we need to
give it larger place in our menus.
Pie and doughnuts, contrary to the
usual idea, are most nourishing foods
for those who work In the open, for
picnic lunches. A healthy body will
take care of such food with no trou-
BILE. Nuts, beans and vegetables
served with cream sauces are all foods
which will supply all the needed nitro
gen without meat.

MADE HIS AUTOMOBILE WORK
Pennsylvania Farmer Made Use of Car
to Grind Corn, Cut Fodder and
Other Odd Jobs.

Recently, In the presence of a num-
Der Of farm neighbors, Pennsylvania
farmer gave an exhibition of the use
Of his automobile to grind corn, cut
fodder and other things where power
was needed. He had lacked up the
auto from the ground and used one
of its wheels revolved by the auto en-
CINE as q driving wheel for the belt to
operate the feed grinder and fodder
cutter. It is likely that many uses for
the auto viii be found when the roads
are too bad for travel, and when power
ia needed and can be utilized in the OPP
Grafton Of farm machinery.

Tomb Of Mohammed Looted.

Intense indignation has been aroused
throughout the Mussulman world by
the sacrilege Of the Turkish govern
ment, which seized the jewels and
money which the faithful In the course
Of centuries have deposited on the
tomb of Mohammed. Among these
treasures are large number of
precious stones, including the famous
diamond known as the Shining STAR
which the Turkish government has
carried away. This stone is valued at
more than one and one-half million

Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie Of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or" callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
