"When putting up the car for the

automobile service manager. 1.-THE car
can be stored where the temperature
never gets below 20 degrees above
zero, and if the battery is charged
properly there will be no damage. The
second one is to remove the battery
from the car, clean it carefully, and
wash out three or four times with dis
titled water; then, while the plates are
still moist, seal the battery up tight,
and you can store ii for at least q
year without hurting its Efficiency"

London, Oct. l6.-The British Sec

reached LIE Chate, on the Courtrai-In
gelmunster road. and has captured the
villages of Gullcghem and Heule. The
British have advanced to the outskirts
Of Courtrai. This announcement was
made by the war office. which also
corroborated the Belgian and French
successes in Flanders.
Since the morning of October IA the
allies have taken 10000 prisoners, and
more than 100 guns in the operations
In Belgium. In addition to occupying
Menin, the British have entered Wer-
vicq and are standing on the right
bank Of the Lys.
The entente forces in Belgium and
France continue successfully to drive
the enemy before them. In Belgian
Flanders the advance Is somewhat rap

Germans are fighting with desperation
to hold back their foes.
The great wedge that is being driv-

troops in Flanders now threatens seri-
ously the tenure by the enemy of
many positions in north Belgium from
the Lys river to the sea. including his
submarine and other bases along the
coast, while to the south the Lille sal
lent gradually is being enmeshed and
doubtless soon will receive attention
from the pincers. which are being
oiled for the task of retaining this
important tract of territory as far as
Valenciennes for France.
Meanwhile the French and American
forces are struggling ~valiantly forward
in their drive nOrthward from the
Champagne region into the country
which the Germans must effect
a retirement to their own border in
the event of a final debacle. AS has
the case always since the often

To the west the French are slowly

they have effected further crossings
Of the Aisne. About 500 Germans

In Flanders the British have taken

by the allied forces and large num-
of prisoners have been taken.
Many guns also have fallen into the

Preparing Animals.

1t Is important that an animal in
tended for slaughter should be kept
Off feed for "a to &c hours. II kept
on full feed the system is gOrged and
the blood vessels lOaded. In such a
condition 1t is impossible to drain out
the veins thoroughly when the animal
is bled. and a reddish colOred, unat-
iractive carcass will be the result.
Food In the stomach decOmposes very
rapidly after slaughter. and where the
dressing Is slow the gases generated
often flavor the meat. Water should
be given freely up TO the time Of
slaughter. is it keeps the tempera-
ture normal and helps to wash out the
system. resulting in a nicely col0red
carcass.
The care of animals previous to
slaughter has considerable effect on
the Keeping qualities of the meat. II
Is highly important that they be not
excited in any way sufficiently to
rnise the ten p%erature of the body. Ey-
citement prevents proper drainage
of blood vessels, and If extreme will

What constitutes good plumbing In

receives all of the waste matter from
the sink and passes 1t through this
trap. which Is surrounded by a water.
cooled chamber. cooling the greasy wa.
ter and forming a solid cake Of grease,
which can be easily removed from the
trap by taking off the cover. The trap
Is cooled by connecting the cold water
pipe In such a that all water

pass through this cooling chambar
without coming In contact In any way
With the grease chamber. This trap

In the ground, having a vent pipe TAX

his vent pipe will then act like a

trap and discharge them above the

Is used to cool the trap. as the ground
acts as a cooling medium. This grease

clog up a pipe quicker than grease

this true in country plumbing. where

items Of good plumbing that bears a
very close relation to the health OF
the family. We are all familiar with
the nuisance Of placing a pan under
the refrigerator to catch the dripping
water from the melted ice; how often
1t Is forgotten and runs over. spilling
the contents on the floor. This can be
easily avoided by placing a drip pan
or safe, as it is called, under the re-
frigeratOr and connecting this safe to
a pipe having a trap. and dischargipg
this pipe into an open sink, which has
a faucet connected to it and a vented
pipe. Do not by any means Onnec
waste pipe to any Of the waste or
soil pipes of the other fixtures, SO
there will be positively no opportunity
for any OdOrs or gases from the soil
lines going back into the ice box. This
Is very important. and does not at all
times receive the care and attention
it should. See that this pipe is
regularly and often cleaned out with
water, as all Ice is not pure;
and there are particles Of dirt and
other matter that are often left in the
pipe. The trap under the safe need
lot be vented. 1t Is only an additional
guard to prevent odors from passing
back into the refrigerator.
Do not use an iron waterback in
