Motorists realize the necessity of
covering the radiator and hood of an
automobile in the winter months, be-
cause the rapid radiation of the heat
results in inefficient operation. A
thermOstatic valve set in the outflow
pipe of the water system is used In
many motors for cold weather. A sim

the radiator, is nearly as effective as
the thermOstatic valve. 1t has an ad-
vantage in saving the nonfreezing So

idly boiling away, as often happens
where the radiator is covered and
maintained in heated condition. The
change in the gasket is merely in the
substitution of one having a smaller

The experience of Mr.. E. ]. Tou-

be constantly In my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for

For any disease due to catarrh

is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,

WAR IN EUROPE
BIG MOTOR AID
struggle Across Water Gave Au.
tomoblle Industry Big Boost
Right Here at Home.
CARS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits of
Motorized Transportation in
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work of the
motorcar in Europe during the last
few years of struggle there and do
spite the vast angles of future deyel-
opment which were opened by the au-
tomobile's accomplishments in the bat
tie zone, the biggest thing that the war
did for the motorcar industry was done
here at home.
This is the opinion of @. A. Pfeffer,
general manager of large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea of the future of the industry. Al
though he believes that the true sig
nihcance of the stay-at-home work of
the automobile will come only in the
light of more mature retrospection, he
believes that some of its most prOmf.
nent features are apparent even to-
| day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What motorcars did right at home
to win the war did more, in my opin-
/ ion, to pave the way for a more pros
porous future for the automobile in
! dustry than any other one thing" said
Mr.. Pfeffer. II realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the au-
tomobile with the splendid service and
! incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was to the armies in
the field, just as we associate the sol

questioned heroism of the men in the
front line trenches.
But, in the same way as we neglect
the greater majority of the fighter:
who battled at home, we neglect the
much greater army of motorcars which
went into the struggle on every roat
in the United States. But. because
we were so close to the stay-at-homes
it is hard to get the proper perspec
tive on them.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never.
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason Why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is 90
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. Il 10 on sale

GARAGE TOOL ARRANGEMENT
Good Idea to Number Each Article and
Keep Them in Racks Placed

An admirable idea in the arrange

to give each tool a number, which is
painted on it. The same number is
painted on the wall or rack in the
place where the tool belongs. In this
way it is a simple matter to return
each tool to its proper place so that
it is ready when 1t is next needed.
