MOTOR CAR SPRING.
Full EIIiptics, semi-EIliptics and
CantiIevers Meet Varied
Favor.
INVENTION IS CENTURY old
Leaf Steel Devices Hold Their Own,
Although Time and Again New Ar
engagements Have Been
Introduced.

Progress in automobile construction
has each year been accompanied by
improvements in springs. In fact, few
parts that contribute to the users COM
fort have been so fully and SO far Inn
proved as have the springs. We natu-
rally expect improvements in devices
that are comparatively new, like the
pneumatic tires, but remembering that
leaf-steel springs were invented CEN
fury ago, we are inclined to assume
them to be practically perfect and to
look for very little change in them.
AS first applied they were far too
short for comfort. Makers attempted pied
to apply the lengths and widths used
on horse-drawn vehicles, and simply
added thickness to carry the heavier
weight Of the power vehicle. That this
was not satisfactory could have been
foretold, and every year since has seen
lettering of these necessary articles.
Semi-Elliptic in Favor.
The full elliptfcs at first used gave
way to semi-elliptics, which carried the
load lower and better resisted the side
swaying Of the body, which tended to
throw change on driving mechanism
out of alignment. These advantages
have not been superseded, and still
hold the semi-elliptic in growing favor
today.
Time and again new springs or new
arrangements are introduced, but
through them all the old standby holds
Its own. 1t Is most simple form, and
If the same number of pounds or
inches of steel employed in other forms
Is used in 1t there will be no complaint
about the service.
Three-Quarter Platform.
The three-quarter platform adds to
the rear ends Of a pair of semi-elliptics
mate placed crossways, and attached
to the body at its upcurved center
This gets added spring length without
extending the body further to the rear,
but it has not found much favor.
More was expected from the canti-
lever, and it still has strong advocates,
but 1t has not been adopted with that
rush which seemed probable couple
OF years ago. The cantilever is semi
elliptic turned over and resting one
end on the car axle instead of resting
Its middle thereon as does the semi
elliptic. Because Of this peculiar
mounting it has nearly twice the
springy motion possible In semi-ellip-
tic of the same length, but also re-
1uires to be about twice as thick. Each
year the public is gaining the knowl-
edge that every car can be properly
sprung, and that a well-sprung light
car rides more comfortably than less
efficiently sprung heavy car, and, con-
sequently, they are demanding and
getting better spring values each
year.

"No, mum; but my last master was

TRICK FOR oILlNG SPRINGS
Application of Kerosene and Then Fol-
lowed by Lubricant VIII An
sWer Purpose Fairly Well.

An emergency trick for oiling
spring is to go over 1t with kerosene,
wiping off the dirt az, you do So. and
guiding the kerosene down the sides
SO 1t will run in between the leaves.
Wipe off the surplus, Pour oil over
them the same way. 1t is led in by
kerosene and oils the leaves very eff
fectually. Now rock the car or jounce
the running board and your springs
will be fairly well oiled. The best way
to oil a spring, however, is to remove
1t and take it apart, scraping or fling
off all rust and covering both sides
with graphite, grease or oil. This Is
troublesome, but Is the best In the end.

PLAN TO KEEP HANDS CLEAN
Simple Method Described Herewith lie
Better and Cheaper Than Using
Expensive Oil.

1t is impossible to keep the hands
clean when making repairs on the ma
chine.
A simple and economical way in
which to cleanse them is as follows !:
Mix quantity of sawdust and lubri-
eating oil together and rub thorough
ly into the pores of the skin.
The oil should then be removed by
wiping the hands with cloth which
has been saturated with a little gaso-
line or kerosene.
This should be followed by the ordi-
nary wash with soap and water.
1t is poor practice to attempt to re-
move the dirt from the hands by bath"
ing them in gasoline, as this will cause
some of the matter to become deeply
imbedded in the skin.

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not "patent medicine" nor
new discovery" For 200 years they

They are the pure, original imported
HARLEM Oil your great-grandmother
used, and are perfectly harmless. The
healing, soothing oil soaks into the cells
and lining of the kidneys and through
the bladder, driving out the poisonous
germs. New life, fresh strength and
health will come as you continue this
treatment. When completely restored to
your usual vigor, continue taking a cap
sule or two each day. They will keep
you in condition and prevent a return, Of
the disease.

especially dangerous in kidney and blad-
der trouble. All reliable druggists sell

LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual Proves In This War Counts
for as Much as 1t Did in Days -
of Ancient Greece.

Individual prowess counts for as
much as 1t did in the days of ancient
Greece, Waldemar Kaempffert writes
in McClure's. Names will stand out In
the history Of this war like those OF
Ajax and Achilles In the epic OF Ho-
mer. Lieutenants Immelmann and
Boelke on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat Their exploits are
tinged with chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since 1t is I'M
melmann who beat me, am satisfied"
When the German replied that it was
"only Boelke," the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like a parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between Homer's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even to the vehicles used.
What Is a flying machine but the an
Gent war chariot soaring on wings? In
many an encounter two man machines
still battle for supremacy man
an observer, the other pilot. The OBJ
server is the fighting hero of old, WELD
ing machine gun instead Of sword !;
the pilot his faithful charioteer.
Carry the analogy still further and
consider how much is at stake when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fate of an ancient army depended on
a prince in his war chariot; the fate
of any army corps now hangs on the
information cleaned by victorious
flier.

CORNS LIFT OUT

This will cost very little but will

corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness In
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating tbs
