Ne Device Makes it Easier and Safer
to Learn Car Driving

Several months OF successful
operation of a double steering wheel
car by Bishop, Mccormick & Bishop.
of Brooklyn, have supplied the COM
forting assurance that a day Is COM
ing when embryo motorists will learn
the art of driving with much greater
safety 10 themselves, TO other motor
lists and to the general public.
The double steering wheel device
permits the instructor to retain con-
troll over the car at all times, even
though the pupil is doing the actual
driving and gear shifting. This ar
rangement enables the pupil 20 try
his hand almost Immediately on traf-
fic ridden streets, with the result that
he is far better equipped to drive alone
after one Or two lessons than the
average raw motorist" Is after three
or four. The instruction car IS not
only equipped with two steering
wheels but with two sets of brake
and clutch pedals Automobile Top
les" says, because OF this arrange
ment both instructor and learner feel
a confidence that cannot exist when
there IS q single control in unskilled
hands. The nervous strain that IS
eliminated can best be appreciated
by those who have been through the
experience"
The Brookly firm precedes this IN
struction by series of lessons IN an
anchored car" which is set on a
platform IN such a way as to leave
the wheels free. In front OF the car
is q semaphore with which the IN
structOr flashes signals to the driver.
f'Sharp turn" "Steep hill" etc, di
rect the pupil to manipulate his con-
trolls accordingly, while a special
brake lever enables the instructor TO
produce practically the same condi-
ton as would result on the road.

ioods nave process of putrefaction
which is peculiar to that food other
kinds of foods ferment but such food
as meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and such
protein vegetables as peas and beans
decompose and the by-products formed
are more or less poisonous to human
beings.
The difference between ferments-
ton and putrefaction is shown in the
digestion. Vegetable foods may fer.
ment and cause irritation but with
animal food the irritation may be In
the form of poisons which are taken
up by the blood stream just as is the
food, these poisons cause autoIntoxi-
cation. The vast majority of people
who suffer in this way. suffer because
of overeating. An eatless meal once
or twice a week, would be not inap-
propriate to follow n wheatless day.
Fletcher, the dietician, in his won.
derful books on living has discovered
that the simple art of mastication,
which is a much sighted if not lost
one, is the secret of good health. Our
loyalty in these stirring times may
teach us the value of lessening our
food supply. The over-padded indiv-
idual who denies herself candy and
sweets because of her patriotism will
be rewarded in the happy results to
herself. This will be true in cutting
out one-seventh of our meat, one-slxth
of our fat. and one-fourth each of
sugar and white flour. This self-de-
NAL will not only help us physically
but its influence must be felt in other
ways. The individual who cannot say
mo" for his stomach's sake will not
stand very firm on higher demands.
There is one important thing that
all mothers of growing children should
consider, that they should not be re-
stricted as to food, for they need 1t
for the daily activities and to promote
growth.

The plan puts it easily in reach of every
American citizen to save money and at the same
time aid the Government by supplying it with
the sinews of war;
Stamps, which are the Governments certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness are to be sold in two de-
nominations-thrift stamps, which cost 25 cents
each, and war-saving stamps, which cost from
$4.12 to $4.23 each, according to the month in
which they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the purchaser is
given thrift card with spaces for 16 thrift
stamps. When 16 thrift stamps have been pur-
chased and affixed the thrift card can be ex-
changed for war-savings stamp by paying the
difference between the 81 the thrift stamps rep
resent and the current value of war-savings
stamp, which in December, 1917, and January,
1918, will be $4.12 and thereafter cent for each
succeeding month during the year 1918.
With the first war-savings stamp obtained by
purchase or exchange the owner is given war
savings certificate containing spaces for 20 war
savings stamps. If the 20 spaces are filled dur
ing December, 1917, or January, 1918, the cost
to the purchaser will be $4.12 for each stamp, or
SS2 40 for the full certificate, and on the first
day of January, 1923, the Government will re-
deem the certificate at 800, giving the holder a
net profit of $17.6O for the use of his money.
Although these investments do not mature
until January /, 1923, provision is made whereby
upon ten days written notice after January 1,
1918, such certificates will be redeemed by post
masters at their cost to the purchasers plus
cent month on each war-savings stamp on the
certificate.
The thrift stamps do not bear interest, but
the war-savings stamps bear percent, COM
pounded quarterly. The certificates will be dat
ed January 2, 1918, and mature January /, 1928.
Under the plan an amount small as 25
cents can be invested in Government security,
and soon as 81 has been thus invested an inter-
est-bearing certificate of the United States Gov
eminent can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can be obtained
from postoffices banks, or trust companies, at
most railroad stations, stores factories, and
many other public places.
Having the entire wealth of the United States

stated, there is no danger of any depreciation in
value of the certificates.-Offic Bulletin.
