Prevent Hot Air.

AS a rule provision is made on the
hot air stoves for allowing some cold
air to enter, or to take cold air entire
Iy. Where the carhuretor is water
jacketed, it is usually supplied with a
valve that may be closed to prevent
the flow of hot water. Individual ex
pertinent will determine whether it is
advisable to cut cut the heat entirely
on the carburetor, since all are not
benefited by the change. If the fan
has been disconnected this of course
will be corrected. The engine natural
ly runs hotter in the summer time, the
water vaporizes faster and often boils
away, so it Is always good judgment
to inspect the radiator frequently, max
ing sure that the water is not running
low. Water in the storage battery
will evaporate twice as quickly in sum-
mer.

qretor. Ordinarily there is not IS
much gasoline required in hot weather
as in cold and therefore, the dash adj
justment may be carried little nearer
lean, or air, side. This not only saves
gasoline but increases the power of the
motor. In the majority of instances it
has been found that the hot air stove
of the carburetor may be dispensed
with or adjusted.

Applying a Principle.

1t is strange that a newspaper man
should be compelled to solicit advertis-
ing or offer argument for its use, re-
marks man who knows what he is
talking about. Funny, isn't it, that
the man who thinks he is business
man will get up in the morning from
an advertised mattress, shave with an
advertised razoras take off advertised
pajamas and put on advertised under
wear, advertised hose and shirt, tie,
advertised suit, sit himself at the table
and from an advertised stove with adj
vertised knives, forks and spoons, eat
advertised breakfast food, drink adver-
tised coffee or substitute, put on an
advertised hat, light an advertised
cigar, go to his place of business where
he turns down the advertising solicitor
or salesman for his home newspaper on
the ground that advertising doesn't
pay.

EASY TO DECEIVE lNExPERT
tiers" Has Became What Might
Be Termed a Business.

The most common method of coun-
terfeiting an old picture is to cover
a new one--painted, of course, for the
purpase-with a certain transparent
paste which, when exposed to slight
heat. cracks and becomes brown. Ii
sufficiently vulnerable tint has not
been produced the canvas is washed
with a mixture of lamp black and
liquorice juice.
The picture is next exposed for some
hours to the smoke Of a wood fire and,
the loose SCOT having been brushed
away, 1t is rubbed here and there with
rag which has been dipped in very
dilute sulphuric acid. This opera
lion gives moldy appearance to those
parts which have been touched.

CALLED AID TO lDLENEss
Many Good Reasons Why the Banana
Has Perfect Right to That
Classification.

Bananas, according to legend cur.
rent In tropical countries, are the orig
inal apples of the Garden of Eden
along with the serpent and Mrs.
Adam, the cause Of mans fall. At
least, they tend to serve a similar pur-
pose in these times, because they are
almost equal to the coconut palm as
an aid to idleness.
An acre of bananas will yield %
times as much food as an acre of po-
tatOes and $50 times as much as wheat.
The banana is immune to almost every
plant disease and has fewer insect
enemies than any other fruit. 1t will
grow on poor land. if need be, and
will distance any weed or shrub that
tries to contest it's claim to soil and
sunlight.
The banana is the neither fish,
flesh, nor fowl of the plant king
dom. Tt is usually classified as a
tree, but it is not tree. Although it
attains a height of 80 feet there is
no wood fiber in the stalk. The
punches of fruit on the dwarf varie-
ties are often heavier than the re-
mainder of the plant. 1t is not a
palm, nor an herb, nor bush, nor a
shrub, and it is not vegetable. In
TO the grasses, but the relationship
is so distant that it stands in a class
by itself

More Than Paid the Debt.

Some of us will give second
thought to the extraordinary achieve
ment Of congregation in Geneva. N.
T., which first built with reckless ex-
trayagance massive graystone
church and then adopted the tithiny
system to get them out of their diff
Guilty. The story is told in Outlook.
When the church was dedicated-if
that is the right word-the debt was
$4,000, and the weekly budget $3.50.
The weekly income was less than 500
In two years the debt has been re-
duced to $4,000 and the weekly in
come is $500. OF the 1000 members
$50 are tithers. A tither sets aside
one-tenth of his income for Christian
activities. The blessings of happiness
and prosperity which have attended
the people are remarkable. Many
thrilling stories are told. Some church
leaders are deeply impressed By the
success of the system and they are adj
vOcating it as a financial policy

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. BY ask
ing at any drug store Tor "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get large bottle of this old
time recipe, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This SIM
pie mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at time. BY MORN
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful. This prepa-
ration is delightful toilet requisite.
It is not intended for the cure, miti-
cation or prevention of disease,

more or less incapacitated from
these causes. Three have serious
bayonet wounds, one q saber wound,
another shell wound in the back,
and still another wears a silver plate
in his head, which was laid open by
a shell fragment.
The contingent is in charge of
Lieutenant H. +. Sutton, of the
United States Hospital, at Camp
Stewart, Va. The intrepid band of
unconquered Sammies originally
numbered 200 wounded. but all save
the twenty-three who passed

Have Not Lost Spirit
Although sick and weary, the men
have not lost their spirit and all
fondly cherished the hope that op-
portunity will be afforded them to
return to France to get the Hun"
that caused their withdrawal from
active service. All bring a glorified
and wonderful message to the peo-
pie of the United States of hope and
courage from the blood-stained
trenches. To see these plucky boys,
MANNED by bayonet and cruelty torn
by shell, and to listen to their mod
est recital of their experiences

stricken Potsdam clique see the
handwriting on the wall.
A casual glance at Private Mar
tin r. Tackaberry. of Tampa, Fla,
would identify him merely as an
average American youth. unassum-

"But I Got My Boche!"
But got my Boche-darn him"
he said. with eyes ablaze. with the
bayonet sticking clean through my
shoulder, gave him five chambers
of my automatic and blew his face
away"
Edward Olson, a giant Swedish
American from New York, is eager
to get back, although his body has
been terribly battered in battle.
There is a lump on his forehead,
where the frontal bone was con-
caYed by shell fragment.
In the top of his head is a silver
plate as big as an individual butter
dish. He has a bullet wound in his
left leg, and a bayonet wound in his
right shoulder: He proudly exhibit
ed the helmet, chevrons and boots
of a German Lieutenant whom he
said, he killed in hand
struggle.
"I got him." he said. He was
pumping his automatic at me. when
jumped and caught him around
the neck. l knocked him down and
stuck him.
THAT was five days before I got
mine. They ordered us over the top,
and l was over in god shape when
was caught in the Germans coun-
ter barrage. After the shells had
ripped me up a big Boche stuck me
with his bayonet.
Saved by Women

Red Cross woman, and a Salvation
Army girl were dragging me off to
