LOOK OVER CARS CAREFULLY
David Harum Had Nothing on the Men!
Who Make Practice Of Selling
Secondhand Autos.

Many dozens of places are now oper-
ating secondhand motor car busi-
nesses, and while some of them are
quite reliable, it is still sad fact that
taking" cars Is common occurrence,
observes the Scientific American.
One purchaser Of sO-called rebuilt
car in New York paid 5000 for ma
chine which is no longer built. twas
guaranteed to be in running order, and
worked fairly we'll on the way home,
a distance Of ten miles. The follow
ing morning he was unable to crank
the car, and upon removing the cylin-
ders he discovered a very unique hard
wood piston in the front cylinder. The
car being out of date, the dealer had
been unable to obtain piston for 1t,
and had improvised one. The oil and
heat of the cylinder combined to warp
the wood and make the motor stick.
The wood had evidently been treated
with some heat-resisting compound, as
the charring on the surface which had
been exposed to the heat Of combus-
ton was not severe.
In another case, purchaser OF
secondhand runabout detected most
peculiar noise in his timing gears,
which in that model were mounted ON
the front Of the engine. Removal OF
the gear case revealed the fact that
the gears had been packed in heavy
grease in which was mixed chopped
cork and sawdust. The bearings OF
the gears were badly worn and the i'm
perfect meshing which resulted made
them very noisy. The cork and saw
dust effected temporary remedy.
A third purchaser of the running
order" gamble found that after he had
driven his car dozen miles, three
leaks developed in the cylinder cast
ing. In the pan he found three pieces
of dried chewing gum that exactly fit
ted the holes.
Among some of the other features
of such bargains" are cast iron ball
bearings, papier-mache radiator, hose
covered with aluminium paint, steel
breaker points in magnetic instead of
platinum, window glass in wind
shield, and cracks in crank case filled
with putty painted over. In view of
all this, who can wonder what has be-
come of the good old-fashioned horse
trader?

bury the stone in the ground, it is per-

FIELDS UNSUITED FOR CORN
Early Spring Flowing Is Advisable
Under Many Conditions-Avoid
CIods, Weeds or Grass.

Corn should never be planted in a
cloddy field or in one where nice
growth of weeds or grass is already
either started or ready to start. Early
spring blowing is certainly advisable
under a great many conditions.
Some soils must be worked down
with the disk and harrow, and on some
the packer should be used before the
planting season. 4 ,ftsm4v4

X UNIVERSAL, ENEMY.

In the army camps and at home, one of the most relentless enemies that we have to fight is typhoid fever.
 It is a filth disease And it is dis dressing to contemplate that some of our "best people" suffer from it. probably it's not their own fault. but neverthless they arc victims of filth disease.
 Turning the pages of history we find that Prince Albert. consort of Queen Victoria, died in his prime-at the age of 42-from typhoid fever This is commentary of what may happen to the best of people.
 Typhoid is found only in man. It is caused. we are told. by a short rod-shaped microscopic vegetable which enters the body through the mouth and leaves it in human dis charges. to enter another mouth, to which it is carried by fluids. food and flies.

THE KING TRUST.

Now that the German political sit uation is attracting so much atten- tion, it is we'll to keep in mind just how Germany is governed. Any body who understands the political machinery of the German empire will not expect too much from the pres ent popular clamor and the kaiser's pledges of reform.
 Germany today has no civil govern- ment It is military dictatorship. And it is little else in peace times. The kaiser and his ring of militarists needed no new authorization to grasp the power they wield today. They had it. And they are firmly rooted in it by the constitution.
 The German empire iy | federation of 9 states. East state has its own monarch. Prussia, the biggest and most powerful state. is the leader of the federation by common consent. Prussia's king is therefore emperor of Germany.
 German government, begins at the top, as ours begins at the bottom. Our country is union of the people of our various states. Germany is a union of the monarchs of the various states.
 Those % kings and princes choose 4l I0c ,.Ok htoh ,c hn f~,, 1oo islative body of the empire. It has not only the legislative power, but the executive and judicial power. Its meetings are secret. It is composed of 61 members, who are the personal representatives of the 9 royal houses of the empire.

 The bundesrath derives its au- thority from the constitution agreed to when the federation was formed. The people did not write that con stitution, and cannot change it. The bundesrath is theoretically able to change it. but practically impotent, for no amendment can be adopted if there are 20 opposing votes. and the emperor absolutely controls 20 votes. The emperor, therefore, is the gov ernment. The bundesrath registers his will.
 
 And the reichstag, about which all this. storm centers? It $ little more than a aSdebating society. It's acts are subject to review by, the bundesrath tScanstalk 1-but not act. It can air public issues, but not decide them It is not a parliament, not con gross.

DROPPING THE "FIXINGS."

Some of the passenger roads are be- ginning to drop fancy cars in order to facilitate the movement of gov ernment troops, supplies and food stuffs. Parlor cars, restaurant cars sleepers, club and observation cars will be discontinued.
 Many of these cars are useless and do not pay their way, merely being put on trains because rival roads have them. It's good advertising in time tables, but from a monetary standpoint it is bad business.

lnvrntion of Doors.

Who invented the door no one knows. It is, however, an invention of comparatively modern times. All the ancient houses, even the houses con- taining doorways, had no doors. Fab- rics or skins of animals were hung across the doorways to keep out the elements. In the great Roman Coli scum there is but one door-that is the door behind which lay the lions that ate the gladiators. From this and other similar uses 1t is believed that doors to houses probably first came into use as means of defense.
