IF you sprained your wrist that would
be one way Of twisting your reach
You'd have lame arm which would seri-
ously affect your carrying capacity, the
same as in the case Of lame wagon suffer
ing from twisted or broken reach. On some
wagons the rear gear and reach one-they
work together-so that if the road 10 rough and
uneven the reach is subjected to constant strain
and twisting
The Standardized Auto Track Weber Wagon
has swivel reach coupling that takes all the twist
off the reach 1t works independently of the gear
and balances the load, keeping the same amount
on each wheel. 1t holds the brake bar constantly
in the center of the rear wheel. 1t permits the
wheels to follow the unevenness of the road with
out twisting straining any part of the wagon.
, This is just one of many superior features
to be found on the new king of all farm wagons,
the Auto~track Weber. Letus show you the Others

The housekeeper who must figure on

that the peanut, almond and Brazil mt

and about the same amount Of fat) and
may frequently take the place of pota-
toes, as in the menu for Saturdays
dinner. Remember, however, to cook
them WELL for all sturchy foods need
cooking to render them digestible.
Chestnuts and peanuts cost less than
any of the other varieties of nuts and
should therefore be used more generally.
The former, however, do not keep in
definitely and unless the family is
large one they should not be purchased
in large quantities.
