Daily Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE.
BY DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they go away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows out
of the ground in the form of vegetation
to cure almost every i'll. Some of these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which, when
found and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing YOURSELF
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vided by Nature to overcome constipa-
ton, and he had these vegetables col
lected and made up of Mayapple, leav es
OF Aloe, root of Jalap, into little white
sugar coated pills, that he called DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You mast
understand that wnen your intestines
are stopped up, poisons and decayed
matter are imprisoned in your system
and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does
your head ache, you get dizzy, you
can't sleep, your skin may break out,
your appetite declines, you get tired
and respondent. As matter of fact
you may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is ?
All that is often needed is few of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he
has placed in all drug stores for your
convenience and health Try them by
eli means. They are probably the very
u : YOU need right now.

Teachers are requested to keep a
supply of thrift stamps on hand, in
structing the pupils to keep their saw
ings at home until they have as much
as twenty-five cents and then buy a
stamp. The children should bring
their thrift cards to school, place the
stamps on in the presence of the
teacher and take them home. Pupils
should be encouraged to write compo-
sitions on thrift and to tell to the class
how they saved money and the
methods of earning money for the pur-
chase of stamps.
Franked postcards will be furnished
by the government for the weekly re-
ports of the teachers and the monthly
reports of the superintendent and
presidents.
When they get sixteen stamps these
could, with a few cents more, be ex-
changed for War Savings Stamp,
which is an interest bearing security
of the government, and the pupil from
that moment would become a bond
holder of the United States.

THRIFT LESSONS
TOBE TAUGHT in
SCHOOLS OF GA.

At a meeting of prominent educators
of the state, among them Supt. J. E..
Mathis, of the Americas chOols, with
Ivan E. Allen, state head of the war
stamp movement in Atlanta Saturday,
a plan of thrift education in the
schools of Georgia was worked out and
a program for such education deVel-
oped by a committee consisting OF
Prof Mathis, ]. S. Stewart, c. S. Cul-
yer. F. E. Land and R. B. Daniel.
Professor Mathis, who has returned
10 Americas, today outlined the thrift
program for the schools as follows:
The object of thrift work in the
schools is educational. It's aim is not
alone for government support but to
develop the habit of thrift and build
character by precept and practice.
The superintendents of schools, hav-
ing secured the approval of the beard
of education, will put the plan into eff
feet as follows:
LIST. Explain the objects and meth
DDS of the work thoroughly to the
principals and teachers.
End. Fix a convenient period for in
struction on thrift by the teachers of
each grade or room.
3rd See that a standard package Of
printed matter, including cards and
record books, is furnished each teach
aer several days ahead of the time, so
that she may familiarize herself with
the instructions
4th. Start the work in all schools
on Monday, March 31st, or as near that
date as practicable, so that thrift will
be the topic of discussion in the homes
of the entire community at the same
time
5th. Arrange to have the matter dis
cussed by the Parent-Teacher associa-
ton or other organization a few days
USlOI6 lilS MOIh DSSHlS.
9th. Let the teacher at the end of
the first period of instruction have
the pupils select a chairman of the
room or grade and a secretary of the
thrift society.
The schools of the state will be di-
vided into county systems, local sys-
TENS and higher institutions. The
teacher of a grade or room in each
county or local system is urged to re-
port once a week to the principal of
the school and these to report once a
week to the county or city superinten-
dent, who should report once a month
to MIR, Allen, state director of savings,
at Atlanta, on the following:
1. The number of thrift stamps
sold
2. The number of pupils purchas-
ing.
3. The per cent of pupils purchas-
ing, based upon the number belong
ing
The higher institutions will make
the same report by classes.
These weekly reports will be read at
morning exercises and given to the To-
cal papers, but no invidious compari-
sons should be made, no published
statement should be made of individual
purchases, and nothing should be done
that will embarrass any child
The monthly reports will be given to
the local papers and the state director
is requested to give to the daily press
the summary of the monthly reports
sent him, so that every county, local
system and higher institution will

FORTY MILLION TIRES
 YEARLY NOW NECESSARY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.-- Twenty y-eight million tires yearly are now necessary to equip the passenger automobiles and motor trucks in use in the United States. To this should be added not less than 12,000,000 more tires, for many vehicles accumulate mileage to such an extent that a sec ond set of shoes is necessary, to say nothing of the thousands of inner tubes"
 Forty Million tires and their inner tubes at an average cost of S25 gives a total tire bill of $1 ,000, ,000, ,000-a fairly tidy annual expenditure for road travel and transportation. Hence it is high time to pay little more attention to the effect of the various road surfaces on tires on the motor vehicle instead of considering the damage by the motor vehicle to the road.
 You can scarcely pick up paper without seeing in it something about how and why the fast-moving pas senger car and the loaded motor truck damage the road, and, as you read on you note how the writer proposes to design a highway to withstand these effects, and how speed and weights should be limited, and how the cost burden should be distributed.
 Few of those who discuss transpor- tation questions give thought to the

TRUCK REPLACES 32,296 HORSES IN NEW YORK
 STATE IN TWO YEARS

"The passing of the horse on city streets and country highways is now in its second phase. A decade ago the passenger car took one big job from him. Today the motor truck is taking his last big job," says H. D. Tillman, of the New White Garage, local distributor of the Rec trucks.
 "A report recently made by the sanitary bureau of the New York health department shows that there were 1920 stables in New York city in March, 1919. Two years before there were 10,547. The total number of horses declined in the same period from 108,O36 to 75,740. In other words, the motor truck has vacated 2,664 stables and replaced 32,296 horses in New York city alone in the short space of two years.
 "In a bulletin just issued, the Fire stone Ship-by-Truck bureau points to the figures as indicating not only the tendency of the times in the city, b. also in the rural districts. It recalls that the farmer followed the city dweller closely in discarding horse and buggy for passenger car and declares he is not proving to be any slower in discarding the horse for the motor truck in transporting his burdens.
 "Sales of motor trucks throughout the Rocky Mountain territory this year have broken all records, accord- ing to the commercial reports. Farm CTS in this part of the country are not awaiting the development of hard-sur- faced highways before buying. With the giant pneumatic cord tire they are finding the dirt roads passable for mo- tor trucks the year round. However, they are reported to be pressing the legislative powers for hard roads, realizing the economic value of the same in speeding their loads. Recent reports show a greatly enlarged good roads building program in all the Rocky Mountain states.
 "Every day lessens the necessity of the freight car for anything but ex- tremely long distance hauls. The man who owns an automobile only needs to count the number of ,freight-hauling trucks he passes the next time he is driving in the country to believe this with me. The farmer has become weary of the poor service he has re- ceived from the railroads and the prodigious boosts in rates, and he is shipping his livestock and grain to market in his own trucks or in the carriers of a motor express company. Local freight for railroads may soon become mere memory.
 "Crop reports are most favorable for one of the greatest harvests in all lines of farm products that the coun- try has known. Unless some unfore- seen calamity takes place, the country will be prosperous this fall and win ter. Motor trucks will be among the things the farmer will buy out of his increased income. The demand should be particularly heavy"

TIRES INJURED BY CHAINS
By M. D. sBIXBT
n6eles Branch Mana6er BE Goodrich Rubber Co


 Motorists everywhere are realizing the injury to tires resulting from the misuse of chains. It is a well-known fact that chains do damage the tire no matter how carefully applied, but the amount of damage can be reduced to very slight degree by the proper use of chains.
 In the accompanying illustration, the dam age done by improperly applied chains is accurately portrayed. The tread is cut through to the fabric and in fact, loosened up and badly torn in places. In this case the chain was fastened to the spokes and held tightly in one place, which is evidenced by the cuts at regular intervals. This does not indicate weakness of the tire, as all tires act in the same manner under similar treatment.
 When you find it necessary to use chains adjust them carefully. If too loose, they will cut and loosen the tread. oIf too tight, they will cut and bruise where lapped over the casing. The least injury results from chains thatsare loosely applied and have play enough to work themselves around the tire. distribut ing the strain to all points alike. At the first possible moment, where safety is not imperiled. remove the chains from the wheels. The safest way is to avoid chains altogether and use the non-skid or safety tread style of tire.

An ingenious car owner who had had trouble because of stoppage in the oil tube which runs from the transmission case of the Ford to the engine inserted in the transmission case a small mica window, about two inches in diameter. The window is secured by steel ring 1-32 of an inch in thickness and this ring is held by round head screws. A felt gas ket is placed between the mica and the transmission cover and the upper side of the mica is vanished with shellac.

fact that our 100000 motor cars, snl aurn.,all.r % 0AA 0ll

fact that our 100000 motor cars which require annually 28,O00, ,000 tires, exclusive of renewals, create 6 problem; namely, how fast will these tires wear out on each type of road surface? Compare, for instance, the smooth residence of Fifth avenue New York City, with the rough, grit ty and fiinty surfaces so often encoun- tered on country roads, and try to i'm agine what a tidy sum in tire bills would be saved if we could all travel on avenue surfaces. The saving in tire costs alone would pay the differ ence in construction cost in many in- stances.
 How much does the road surface govern the amount of gasoline re- quired by the motor vehicles? This is an important and timely question, for right now serious minds are wor- rying over the future of power re- sources for motor cars. No conclu- sive tests have been made on disin7 terested motives. Such data as have been assembled show that road sur faces offer tractive resistances run ming all the way from 300 pounds or more per ton for sand and loose gravel to twenty pounds and less for the best grades of smooth, hard-sur- faced pavements.
 These tests, however, should be standardized and made authoritative so we can tell whether the saving in tires and gas and cal and engine jus tify change in type or modification of the conception that the road, and not the vehicle, is the principal con sideration.
