ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BOwSer Is
At Peace
Maybe He Won't
Kick Again

(Copyright. 1911. by the Mcclure Newsra-
per Syndicate.)

Mr.. Bowser got out of bed on a Mon
day morning, after his third call to
breakfast, and proceeded to dress,
/ When he reached as far as his socks
| they were not in sight. He did not
rush to the hall and call for Mrs. Bow
ser to come up on the gallOp and ex-
/ plain matters. He looked around him
until he found one Of them on his foot
and the other crushed into his shoe.
He had trouble in finding his collar and
necktie, and his watch had somehow
worked under his dresser, but he didn't
make a kick-not a single Kick. He
ate breakfast without a kick and, as
he walked up the street on his way to
the Office he smiled blandly at an old
horse lmping down the street.
Mr.. Bowser didn't kick when he
came home. He didn't kick through
out the evening. He was as peaceful
as a pumpkin growing under the July
sun.
Tuesday morning he had the same
difficulty in finding his clothes to dress.
One shoe had gotten into the closet,
where he had thrown it during the
night at gnawing mouse, and it took
ten minutes to remember it. The but
ton had come out of his shirt collar
and 1t took ten minutes more to find
1t asleep In bed. Not one kick. Not
one swear word. Mrs. Bowser limited
that they would soon need more coal
for the kitchen range, but that did not
disturb Mr.. Bowser's placidity in the
least.
And, walking up to the corner, he
shook hands with three or four men
whom he hardly knew and told an old
woman that the war would soon be
over and everybody would be rich. If
lonely old mule had come along and
prayed in Mr.. Bowser's ear he would
not have raised riot.
Tuesday evening at dinner Mrs. Bow
ser timidly mentioned that she wanted
to do some house cleaning next day,
and that she would get up in the morn
ing an hour earlier to do so. She held
her breath waiting for Mr.. Bowser to
say that he would stay home from the
Office and put in the day with her,
and, Of course, that would have spoiled
the whole thing, but he didn't say any
thing of the kind. What he did say
sHas, -sshak~ Ls.-she wanted eng .ssa4fs -sh.a
could employ it and he hoped she
wouldn't tire herself out working toe
hard. Mr.. Bowser got up Wednesday
morning as early as Mrs. Bowser did
but he didn't take hold and sling rugs
and chairs about. He simply sat down
and read his morning paper, much tt
the establishment of the cook, who men
toned to Mrs. BOwser that something
was surely going to happen. She wa!
mistaken, however. Not even a frowr
appeared on Mr.. Bowser's face. Wher
he came home in the evening, he found
everything as it should be, and mad,

but how he could upset that house in
half a day. Mrs. Bowser trembled
as he entered the hall, but it was a
false alarm. There had been no change

while, and then started for walk.
all by his lonely. He came back with
a bouquet. which he had gathered on
some vacant lots, and sat down to a
book which he did not lay down until
notified that his dinner was ready. He
was not Mr.. Bowser, but some other
Bowser. He was an intruder. He had
commenced things all over, and Mrs.
BowsGr could not say that she was
any better satisfied with tbs new state
Of things than with the old. The old
Bowser had frequent explosions: the|
new Bowser was too peaceful and
placid and bland. Would the Bowserl

herself hoping so, and so did the cnI

How Aniifrsezing Solution Should Be
Fed Into Radiator - Proportions

overlooking the fact that Jack Frost
Is no respecter of persons and automo-
biles, and that he will go out of his
way to pay his respects to the radi-
ator and congealing the water therein

Viewed with alarm By motor car own
8ers-it is no longer tie signal for them
to put their cars away until spring.
More and more car owners are coming
to realize that in keeping their cars in
dead storage for three or four months
every year, they are carrying an idle
Investment, besides doing the car more
harm than good. Disuse breeds depre.
citation as surely as does misuse.
Provides Gas Mixture.
On cold days help your starting mo-
tor by providing a rich gas mixture.
Prime the carburetor in the usual
way, or, better still, choke the air in
let. Not all of the gasoline in the rich
mixture will reach the eylinder-much
Of it will condense on the cold walls
Of the intake manifold. So you will
understand why it is wise to provide
as rich mixture at the carburetor as
is possible, and the careful owner will
take this means of removing a good
share Of the burden from his battery.
+ Insure Against Damage.
Provide yourself with few gallons
of denatured alcohol, and when the
weather turns in a decided manner
feed little into the radiator, thus
insuring yourself against damage that
surely will come otherwise. The pro-
portions depend upon the temperature.
1t will require a per cent solution Of
alcohol to prevent freezing at % de-
grees, and % per cent solution will
take care of the water system down
to zero. AS low as 10 below the solu-
tion should be 80 per cent, and If the
mercury happens to drop to Is degrees
below the percentage will be S5 of al
cohol, whereas 10 more degrees below
will require 40 per cent solution. At
present prices glycerin is out Of the
question as an antifreezing agent-be-
sides, alcohol Is far better and cheap
er, even If it does tend to evaporate
easily.
Cover your radiator when car is al
lowed to stand idle, and if it Is to re-
main in the cold for any length Of time
let it face the wind and not back up to
1t. re left in the latter position the
wind has a clear passage under the
car and above the drip pan to the mo-
tor.
1t requires no more effort to do
things correctly than it does to do
them wrongly, and lack of understand
Ing is the only barrier Watch the lit

That evening was long and peace
full one in the Bowser residence. Mr..
Bowser did considerable talking, and
it was all pleasant talk. There was
a notice, which had come by mail. that
he had not paid his taxes yet, and
that a per cent had been levied against
him. Ninety-nine times out of huns
bred he would have walked about

flying all the tax departments in the
world, and threatening to have blood
for the insult. But, on this occasion.
he read the notice and laughed over
it and said to Mrs. Bowser:
