To Buy, or Not to Buy.

Steering q straight course between
overstocking and letting our pur-
chases wait till necessity arrives is
no easy matter in these days of rather
freakish market conditions. NOBODY
likes to buy more than necessary IN
these days of high prices; yet the
thrifty and apprehensive souls, re-
membering especially the coal and
sugar shortages of the last year. decide
that it's better to lay in supplies, even
at the present prices, than to FISK
doing without altogether by waiting.
Some women have been feverishly
buying extra shoes for the last two
or three seasons. Others specialize
on sugar, or soap, or canned goods'
or rubber, or stockings, or household
linens. Every little housekeeper has
a little private fear-and hoard-of
her own.
One woman, at least, sat down and
reasoned quietly and sensibly with
herself until she had working
maxim which took the weight from
her mind once for all.
The uncertainty is generally based
on the question as to whether the
purchase TO be made is really needed
or not. This woman, when the urge
TO buy came to her, first went over
every article of the sort that she al
ready possessed and made absolutely
sure either that it was not worth nav
ing cleaned, mended, made over or
otherwise put in the best possible or
der, or else she had the repairs and
alterations put through at once, and
the garment or article put in finished
condition for use.
Secondly, she Immediately disposed
of whatever she decided frankly to
discard: getting it off her mind"
once and for all-whether il could find
place in some relief work. be remod-
elled for other purposes, or simply
through whatever she had on hand in
the way of "raw material that could
be utilized in making up for use along
the same lines. And made it up!
Then, and only then, if the need
Still! made itself a clear and honest
one, did she go out and buy new
things with a clear conscience and a
far more certain knowledge of what
would meet that need than if she had
merely hurried out and stocked up, in
answer to some alluring advertise
ment Of special values, with some
thing that she was only half con-
vinced that she needed, but that she,
felt fairly sure would come in conve-
niently, because one never knows,
When one does know is the time TO
buy, and only then. TO one who has
tried it, it is astonishing how the
above method clears the horizon.

BOILING POINTS
TELL The STORY

Contrary to the opinion held by
great many people, the real value of
gasoline is not shown by the old fash
ioned gravity test. This test tells
nothing about the vaporizing and COM
bustive qualities of the fuel, as has
been pointed out by the National Blu
reau of Standards at Washington.
Only the boiling point test is really eff.
ticent.
Boiling points, of course. mean ex-
actly what the words say. That is,
they are points on the thermometer at
which a liquid will begin to boil. For
cold engine to start quickly the gas
oline must vaporize at low temper
aure. To get quick and smooth acceler-
alton somewhat higher boiling points
are necessary and for full power and
long mileage the fuel must have still
higher boiling points.
High quality gasoline must have a
complete and continuous chain of boil
ing points. ranging from the low to
the high. Combustion starts with the
lowest and flashes on through the uni
form chain from low to high with the
result that there is full powered, in
stantaneous combustion. Eliminate
one link and the full-power chain is
broken. The famous Red Crown gaso-
line has the complete power chain.

n ay prove exceedingly costly. Indeed,
TIE transient grinder man would reap a
harvest here now. 1t is likely that
S veral husbands will have to invest in
new scissors.
1t has all evolved from the promise
of high prices for apples. In former
years suburban growers have annually
complained that their crops were men
aced by insects and diseases as a result
of neglected city lot orchards. When
the story of the 1919 apple deal is re.
corded it will be chronicled that several
carloads of clean, highclass fruit were
marketed from the limits Of Hood Riv-
er. Days ends and early mornings are
being spent by many city men in thin
ming their crops. They have invested
literally in spray materials and have
made life miserable for the men in
charge of the Hood River experiment
station. The grooming that some of
the city orchardists have given their
trees this season might put to shame
their country cousins, who pride them
selves on their commercial product.

maintain in peace times the record for
thrift it developed during the war.
In this connection a recent message
to school children by Carter Glass, sec

there were no other motive for saving

Loss of Appetite

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for few days you will soon
have relish for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that at
least five hours should always elapse
between meals so as to give the food
ample time to digest and the stomach
a period of rest before the second meal
is taken. Then if you eat no more
than you crave and take reasonable
amount of outdoor exercise every day
you will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite s
caused by constipation as is often the
case, that should be corrected at once.
A dose of Chamberlain Tablets will
do it.

BEREA BUYS TARvIA
FOR ITS STREETS

Mayor John Gay and members
of the City Council of Berea,
were here the latter part of the
week, looking over the tarvia
treatment for roads and streets.
They liked it so well that they
contracted for three and a half
miles of it to be placed on the
principal thoroughfares of the
metropolis of southern Madison.
In the party besides Mayor Gay
were Councilman John w. Welch,
F. c. Clark, E. F. Coyle, James
w. Stephens and T. J. Osborne,
representing Berea College.
Everyone who has seen or
driven over the pixies which have
had the tarvia treatment is
greatly pleased Road Engineer
June Baxter has now finished
10 miles of tarvia treated pixies,
and will soon have all the work
completed. He says that the
Red House pike will be in shape
for use Sunday as well as the
Lexington pike. The road tar
has been applied to the Big Hill
tike, and Engineer Baxter hopes
that autoists and others will keep
off that pike as fas as possible
on Sunday to give it a chance to
dry out thoroughly. Work win
start on the Lancaster pike Tues
day if good weather continues.
