Old Looks?
(DY DR. .. Fl. sMITH)

Persons suffering from toe mach uric acid in the system frequently look older than they should. They age faster end the appearance of gray hair or baldhead in early years is, indeed, often 8 sign of uric acid. The face appears lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in young men or women.
 The best way to combat this prema- ture age and the obstruction to the arteries and faulty circulation is of the simplest: Drink copiously of pure water between meals. This will not make you fat, as it is only the water taken with the meals that fattens. Obtain at any drug store 8 small package of Anuric, which is to be taken before meals, in order to expel the uric acid from the system. The painful effects of backache, lumbago, rheumatism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood should quickly disappear after treatment with Anuric.

FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now-Also
 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scyaggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its luster, Its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp. which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get a g cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which Is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incompatible gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy bair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.

SMALL LAMP FOR AUT0lSTS
Electric Light Carried on Back of Hand Has Been Designed to Aid
 Drivers at Night.

A small electric lamp. which is car ried on the back of the hand, has been designed for use at night by sutomo- bile drivers. The habit of holding out the hand when about to stop or turn a corner is almost instinctive with every motorist, but in the dark such a signal may be wholly invisible. This lamp is worn like a wrist watch. except that 1t is fastened by an elastic to the back of the hand instead of to the wrist. It is equipped with ruby bullseye. which is sure to attract attention. The words Safety First" are cut into the face ol the lamp around the bullseye.

TESTS FOR CREASE AND OILS
Every Bit of Material Must Conform to High Standard to Assure Proper
 Running of Car.
f+++++-+++++++++++++++++++,

At the modern auto plant not only is every bit of material carefully tested In every possible manner but grease and oils must conform to a high stand ard to assure the proper running of the car mechanism after the car goes to an owner.
 In recent tests a transmission and rear axle packed with grease were left In a cold storage room with a temperature below zero for several days and the mechanism then re- moved and the grease examined to ascertain how 1t stood the extreme cold.
 Among the other tests which the grease candidate must survive, Is the dynamometer test.
 The dynamometer itself is a device which applies a heavy load against the engine and at the same time measures that load, which is ordi- narily greater than the average five passenger weight. Two transmissions are used. one placed directly adjacent to the engine and the other about ten feet away. On the one, effect of the engine heat is factor in the experi- ment. and in the other 1t Is not. The brake on the side nearest the wall is set. bringing the differential into constant play. Three thermome- ters are placed close to the parts in which the greases are being treated, to record the heat produced by fric- ton. If the mercury rises to any great extent above the temperature in the room. which is unvarying. the yer. dict is against the grease.

WOOD WASTE FUEL
Experts Pin Hopes on Alcohol
 Made From SaWdust.
METHODS BEING WORKED OUT
Experiments Being Carried Out in Great Nechako Valley of British Columbia Where There is
 Big Supply of Timber.

The development of sawdust through the newest scientific methods into true grain alcohol which can be used as fuel for motor cars is now being worked out on the Canadian side of the international boundary, according to officials of the forest products lab oratory of the federal forest service in this city, Madison dispatch to the Milwaukee Sentinel states.
 An enormous supply of wood waste Is available in the great Nachako val ley of British Columbia, where the for ests have been giving way to agricul- ture in part, but where there is still great supply of timber. And 1t is in that region that the experiments with the production of alcohol have been carried out. The wood waste is broken down by distillation, and the wood al- cohol produced Is converted by simple processes into grain alcohol. 1t is said.
 Supply of Gasoline.
 There are unmistakable signs that the production of gasoline will become increasingly difficult, and as conse- quence there is in the minds of many motor engine students the vague thought that gasoline, while the fuel of today, may have to give way 10 some other product tomorrow.
 Although the calorific power of alco- hol is little more than one-half that of gasoline its greater efficiency-alcohol 2S per cent, gasoline Is per cent-cOm- pensates for this.
 Waste in Sawdust.
 Of all the possible sources, the most Interesting to the experimenters, owing to the low cost of raw material, Is the waste from the lumber industry, par ticularly that in the form of sau dust or small chips. This material m the vicinity of sawmills or woodworking plants Is often an item of loss, owing to its production in excess of the pow CT requirements of the plant, its value never rising above 90 cents a ton, even when used as a source of power. The disposal of this waste costs from 90 70 60 cents a cord of 800 pounds, and the total loss from this cause is said to amount to about s6,OO0OOO annually. Alcohol From sawdust.
 From experiments which have been conducted by various experimenters a ton of dry sawdust has been found to yield with proper treatment 20 to 9 gallons of 95 per cent ethyl alcohol. By a more careful saving of the waste in | the forests, 1t is claimed that the amount of wood which might be con. verted into alcohol would be doubled and that eventually the question Oi motor-car fuel could be answered.
