TO HOLD OLD AGE AT BAY
From Good Healthy

It's simple
Treat yourself as well as you do
your automobile.
The body grows old just as an au.
tomobile does and for the same
causes.
Let two automobiles leave the fac
tory at the same time, finished on the
same day. At the end of year one
may be old and worn out, fit only for
the junk heap, while the other is
| good as new.
It's altogether a matter of care.
There is one important difference
between man and an automobile.
The idle automobile keeps in fine
shape, while the idle man rapidly de-
teriorates Activity is essential for
the preservation of the living ma
chine
A man who wishes to get the most,
the longest service, out of his auto
mobile gives it excellent care. He
continually guards it against acct
dents. He doesn't use 1t for batter.
ing ram to beat down telephone poles
and fence posts. He selects the
smoothest road he can find instead
of rushing over bitches, plowed fields
and stone heaps He drives slowly
over rough places and climbs steep
hills on low gear.
Every few months the owner of a
worthwhile machine has it looked
over by an expert who takes care TO
tighten every loose bolt and screw, to
inspect and adjust every automatic
device, to clean and oil, in short, To
correct every defect. Such an in.
spection will certainly precede long
touring trip.
The automobile is properly housed
and is kept Clean If 1t gets dirty, II
is given bath at once.
Most important of all, the master
of an automobile will take care tc
feed it properly. Oil adapted to its
HEARINGS and gas of finest quality
No oil or gas is too fine In quality
for a $4,000 automobile.
Now that is the way man should
treat himself If he wants to live ou
all his days, if he desires to hold tina
grim enemy, old age, at bay as Ions
a time as possible.
To keep an automobile young, one
uses it sensibly and cares for !

American Expatriates Suffer Priva-

Ell Paso. Texas, July 13.-Ragged
and starving, sweating out bare
existence on the Norman farms Of
southern Chihuahua, Mexico, Is a
colony of a hundred deserters from
the American army exiled from civ
iization and home.
The story of the privations endured
by the expatriates is told by Garland
Whit "a deserter, who has returned,
sick at heart, to take his medicine"
Clad in ragged corduroys, with
little left of his old uniforms save
his shoes, Whit, who is only IS, is
now in military prison.
Walked Into Mexico
Whitt's regiment was stationed at
Ell Paso, and one night in September
he, with two comrades, slipped away
from camp, waded the Rio Grande,
and started on their hike into the
heart of Chihuahua.
Sleeping by night in any Mexican
howell they could find, living on beans
and tortillas, riding burros when they
could, walking when they could not,
and occasionally getting a ride in a
wagon or on freight train, they
drifted into the land Of "manana."
One day they emerged from the
mesquite through which they had
hiked for days, and came out upon a
harvest field. Hammering on fence

but an American He also was clad
in the remnant of an army uniform

of Mexico. The Latter Day Saints
knew that the occasional wanderer

to rehearse, and they offered him q
chance to make living, but that was
all.
For three months Whit and his
comrades were members of the colo.
ny within colony, the group of men
without a country herded together
because of their common crime.
Their homes were barns and sheds
Their amusements were sheds. Their
wages were their board, and just
enough money to keep them in to-
bacco
Few words were ever spoken of the
great country to the north
Whitt's knowledge of Spanish
raised him somewhat above the Level
of his fellow deserters, and he Sc

EVANSVILLE

Evansville people are showing con-
siderable interest in the outcome Of the
Joseph Shively contested will case
which is being tried in the circuit court
before Judge Grimm. Forty spectators
crowded the court chambers all day to
hear the testimony of the various wit
nesses who were placed upon the stand.
Yesterday witnesses for the proponent
of the instrument brought forth by
George Pullen to be the last will of
Shively gave their testimony. They
were subjected to stiff cross examina-
tions by the contesting attorneys, Geo.
Sutherland and Chas. E. Pierce.
The local police this week accident
ally ran onto a cache of silverware,
table linen and several other varieties
of articles that proved very interest
ing. AS some of the articles were
marked with the initials Of the owners
it was not hard to return the stolen
property, though in one case the own
ers of the articles, while they knew
they were missing, did not know that
they had been stolen. From the amount
and variety of the stuff recovered it
would be judged that the one who
cached them was professional KEEP
9omaniac and took things just for the
fun of taking them. At all events,
some of the people who had their prop
erty returned to them were given a
glad surprise, as they had given mp it's
recovery several months ago and really
were not sure it had been stolen or
simply mislaid.

HOW COLD AFFECTS SOUNDS
Numerous Examples Can Be Given,
but Exact Reason Is Hard
TO Explain.

A close observer describes two phea
nomena of nature not easily explained:
First, that natural sounds are very
different in the colder than in the
warmer months OF the year; and, Sec
ond, that waters have different tints
during the colder and warmer months.
A number of examples occur to
prove the first phenomenon. Who has
not noticed the contrast in the noise
of the wind in different seasons when
it blows around the corner Of the
house-in summer what soft, mellow
tone it has and in winter what
harsh, rough whistle?
Then, again, let us stroll along the
banks of a stream in May, June or
July, and we will observe that the wa
ter will then make q gentle babbling
sound, while in November or winter
it will, with not great volume, make a
hoarse. gurgling noise.
Still again, if we ramble in the
woods during late spring Or early SUM.
mer, we cannot but notice with what a
softness and mildness the wind has
been blowing through the tops of the
trees; on the other hand, what roar
ing it makes in cold weather.
Perhaps the trees being with or
without foliage may cause some diff
ference, but it will be observed in May,
before the leaves are out to any ex-
tent, there is even then marked diff
ference between that time and Deem
Der. Often we have heard it along
telegraph wires during the summer
and winter, and have noted the con-
trast.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

$50 Children Herded
I'm Dirty Dilapidated Building
Typical Red Cross Case

Cross workers did in two days: They
thoroughly cleaned and transferred to
new buildings outside the city the en-
tire $50 children. Red Cross doctors
attended the sick; nurses were secured
for the babies. Suitable food was pro-
vided for all, and they were so classi.
fed as to provide against the separa,
ton of families: also an organization
for the permanent care of these chill
dren, including their education, was
started and has since been put into
operation.
So much for the $50. But how about
the thousands upon thousands of 9TH

France care at your doors crying for
food, shelter. protection against Ger

An official Of a French city that was
being filed with gas bombs by the
Germans found himself confronted
with the problem of looking after $50
children. He telegra pied the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Paris for help. Eff
teen trained workers were rushed to
the relief of these children.
Here is what the Red Cross workers
found: Twenty-one tiny babies under
one year old and 729 children under
eight years. They were herded in an
old. dirty, unfinished building, with
out a suggestion of sanitary conven-
fence. It was the best and safest the
French official could find at such
moment, but you would not think it fit
for dog
