CARBON REMONERS.

The market at the present time i
flooded with auxiliary air and mos
ture injecting devices, some of which
are good and some bad. The mois-
ture injecting devices will in mos;
cases prevent the formation Of car
bon on the cylinder walls, but they
are not likely to remove carbon alrea-
dy formed, altho this claim is made
for them. The air devices are prac-
tically useless, unless the owner is
absolutely certain that the air range
of his carbureter is insufficient. If
the adjustment already on the car
bureter is capable of supplying more
air, an auxiliary air device is a
waste Of money.
