AVOID WASTE OF GASOLINE
Do Not Run Engine While Standing
Still Unless Necessary.--Make
Use of Lean Mixture.

There are many ways to avoid gaso-
line waste. One is not to allow the
engine to run idle, except when abso-
lutely necessary. Another is to run
your car on as lean mixture as pos
sible. The car may not accelerate as
rapidly, and may cough little when
1t is cold; but if you will be patient
with 1t you will get much higher mile
age. Every car has an economical
speed, usually between Is and Is miles
per hour. Try to drive at those speeds.
Accelerate gradually, as this requires
less gasoline than trying to reach top
speed quickly. Anticipate your stops,
close the throttle before you reach the
stopping place, and coast to stand
still.
Keep your car running at top eff
cheney. This means keeping the motor
free from carbon, as carbonized mo-
tor consumes an excessive amount Of
fuel. Use a good grade of oil in the
motor, and keep all moving parts well
fabricated to reduce friction losses.
Run the car on high as much as pos
sible, as this is the economical speed.
Keep the tires well inflated, as soft
tires waste power. See that the
brakes do not bind and cause friction
when the car is running. Finally, use
kerosene instead Of gasoline for clean
ing.-Milestones

milk, then put 1t to dry as usual. II
1t is to be canned, boil 1t for five min
utes on the cob, then Dip in cold wa
ter and drain, cut from the cob and
pack into Jars; into each put a tea
spoonful Of salt to a quart, can and
fill the remaining space with boiling
water. Seal slightly, so that the jar
may be handled without loosening the
cover. Perhaps better way is to
seal 1t tight, then turn back quarter
way round; this leaves the jar so that
dir may escape into the boiler and
keep the pressure inside and out. Have
a boiler with wooden rack in the
bottom to hold up the jars and cover
them to the depth Of an inch over
the top Of the highest jar. Count the
time of cooking only when the water
is boiling and cook three hours, add
ing 10 to Is minutes longer for two
quart cans. Remove and seal tightly.
If the rubber bulges out, unscrew the
top and slip 1t back, without exposing
the contents to the air; this may be
done quickly and no bad results will
follow.
Corn Relish.-Cut the corn from two
dozen ears, chop fine one head Of cab
bage, four large onions, four green
peppers, all chopped. Mix three cup
fuls of sugar, three-fourths Of a cup
full Of mustard, and teaspoonful Of
turmeric; when well mixed add a
quart of vinegar and the other vege-
tables and boil one hour; add two tea
spoonfuls Of celery seed and put away
In glass Jars, sealed for winter use.
Make a list of all fruits, vegetables,
meats and foods in the fruit cellar |;
then have each well labeled, for no
memory is good for several months,
and often 1t is hard to tell just what
the jar contains. From the list one
may choose what will be needed with
out looking over the collection.
ouInce Honey.-This is delicious
CONNECTION to use as a garnish for
dainty buildings or ices. Crate the
fruit and cook together with equal
parts of sugar. Put in glasses and
seal as usual.

which they give their families. 1t is
an art as old as history and It's evolu-
ton is as interesting study as the
evolution theory is to the scientist.
Probably more people are spending
part or all of their time cooking
than in any other occupation. The
Importance Of food selection and prep
aration Is the most important factor
on which rests the health, happiness
and prosperity Of mankind.
Cookery has its law of proportion
or right values, Its law Of harmony
and contrast as does all other arts.
Cookery appeals to the taste as mu-
sic appeals to the hearing or color to
the sight.
An educated sense of taste Is as
gratifying as the indulgence of any Of
the senses and as necessary for good
digestion and physical as well as men,
tai well being.
The study of cookery should be a
part of every young woman's educa-
ton, She should know when she has
prepared a well-balanced meal as well
as to know how to cook one. She
should be able to feed the sick, the
aged, an office man, farmer, or a
baby intelligently.
To serve q meal that Is attractive
to the eye, satisfying to the taste and
nourishing to the body, food that Is
digestible and the cost Of which is
kept within reasonable bounds Of the
income. is an accomplishment which
any young woman may be proud
of attaining. Such accomplishments
come only by practice and training.
Few cooks are born cooks; most Of
them have attained their proficiency
as other artists attain theirs, by hard
work and practice.
A trained cook should be in position
to command respect, for she keeps peo-
pie well by providing them with the
right kind Of food while the profess
sional doctor only takes us for repairs.
Perhaps some day we will become as
progressive as some Of our Oriental
brothers who pay their physicians to
keep them well.

GOOD ADVICE ON
AVOIDING fires
Professor Pratt Gives Hints to
Owners and Drivers on
Safety First.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST fires
Principal Cause and One Which oc-
ours Most Frequently Is Back
firing-Gasoline in Drip Pan
Another Source of Trouble.

automobile fires, their causes and
their prevention, is the general theme
taken up by Prof. Clyde III. Pratt,
president of the Cleveland Automobile
school.
despite the many general cam
paigns of education of automobile
owners and chauffeurs in precautions
against fire, enough cases continue to
occur to warrant word Of caution
and an additional word of prevention"
says Professor Pratt.
"While automobile fires do not al
ways originate from causes considered
to be within the control Of the driver,
the great majority are entirely unnec-
essary as well as preventable. The
principal cause, Of course, and the one
which occurs most frequently, is back
firing. Although it is unnecessary to
enumerate all the causes that lead up
to backfiring, it is we'll to point out
that the chief one is a mixture that Is
too lean when fed to the cylinders.
Backfring will almost invariably fol-
low when this condition is present.
"When there is back fire sheet
of flame bursts from the air intake
of the carburetor, and If there Is any
thing inf1ammable in that vicinity it
Is very apt to catch fire.
Sure to Make Trouble.
Bearing always in mind that gaso-
line vaporizes very quickly, 1t is easy
to understand that If there is gasoline
in the drip pan there is almost sure
to be sufficient mixture about the
driver. The drip pan under the car
buretor should be so arranged that the
gasoline is drained off before it has
time to vaporize.
'Under ordinary circumstances
there should not be much gasoline
there at any time. If it comes from
leak in the supply pipe or the car
buretor connection it should be re-
paired at once; if it is from carburetor
overflow, due to poor seating of the
float valve, the carburetor should be
| cleaned.
"Under some conditions too fast
running may be cause for fire in the
automobile. Great speed usually heats
the exhaust pipe almost to glow. If
the pipe is close to woodwork, particu-
larry where there is an accumulation
! nf ON ipt fhorn hn a
fire. Keep the woodwork free from oil
and grease at all times and thus pre-
vent a possible blaze from this par
ticular cause.
Oil and Grease Wasted.
"The exhaust pipe also heats when
the engine is run with a greatly re,
tarded spark. Here again oil would
increase the menace. The economical
operator will not allow oil or grease
to be wasted in this way.
occasionally when the car is stand.
ing in the garage the supply line will
leak a trifle. If under this condition
the car is left standing in closed
garage all night, the vaporized ac-
emulation on the floor would ignite
from an open cutout when the engine
is started.
Sometimes the tank overfows
when it is filled by an operator who
is in great hurry. Then in the
further hurry to make a quick start
the muller cutout is opened and the
driver finds that he is not due to leave
the garage for some time to come, Il
ever, in that particular machine.

Do NOT USE FIBER WASHERS
Action of Gasoline Has Tendency to
Make Engine Run SIuggishly--
Lead Is Better.

Do not forget that fiber washers
should never be used in the fuel line or
in any part of the engine where the
gasoline can get at it. The action Of
gasoline upon the fiber washer has a
tendency to make the motor run slug
gishly by forming deposit of minute
particles from the fiber. For this rea-
son lead washers should always be
used in the fuel line,

happens that grease cups have been
left untitled when the car was shipped
and that wheel bearings, universals,

fully over the lubricating system Of
the new car and see that it has its
