OLD LONDON MADE MODERN
Circumstances Under Which the Trav-
eler May See All That He Has
Travelled Far to See.

st. Etheldreda, in Ely place. Hol-
born, London, Is one of the old city
churches about which Dickens declar-
ed full half of his pleasure in them
arose from their mystery. That they
existed in the streets of London was
a sufficient satisfaction to him, but pos
sibly he would have added st. Ethel
dreda to the list of the three famous
old churches whose names he admitted
were household words, if, on his night
walks abroad he had heard the watch
man cry the hour, as Etheldreda's
Waterman does to this day. Old Lon
don, lurking up byways and round
corners, is still to be discovered by the
curious who carry the lantern of a
certain knowledgeableness. The cry,
"Past ten, past eleven" from the
Waterman of the church with the Sax
on name, lying off Holborn with It's
asphalted pavements and motor buses,
bears witness to the assertion.

Survey Is Made.

The bureau of markets conducted an
extensive survey of sixty motor routes
to ascertain the defective practices and
as far as possible to suggest improve
ment which would stabilize the indus
try. The bureau found that rural
freight is hauled by the farmer who
owns truck and handles his personal
marketing as well as that of his neigh
Dor by motor, by the local truck oper-
atOrS who haul farm produce as bust
ness, by the local automobile or truck
agencies that operate transportation
trucks as a side line, by the city trans
fer company which also engages in
rural hauling, and by the large corpor-
alton which operates fleet of trucks
over a wide range Of territory. Natur-
ally with such a diversity In the haul
ing agencies, there is a similarly wide
range in their methods of doing bust
ness.

lance 1t presents most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Bagdad
floating in the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its cOlOred dOmeS and
gilded minarets can be distinguished
showing above the palms and trees.
AS one enters the town most of this
is lost to sight and one finds oneself
in narrow winding street. The walls
on either side are usually very bare.
Every now and then one passes a
door, sometimes plain, sometimes quite
ornate with jolly brass door knockers.
Above, from the first floor are pro-
jeCting Oriel windows, these, too, vary
ing from plain brick and timber to
carved wood of great richness-with
pierced screens, often of very beauti-
full design. But be they plain or fancy,
they cast pleasant shadow on the
road beneath and incidentally block
out from view except for a glimpse
here and there, the dOmes or minarets
which were so noticeable from outside
the city walls.
Out of the maze Of these narrow
streets one would never emerge had it
not been for the kindness of the Turk,
who very thOughtfully cut a broad
road right through the center of the
town in cOmmemOratiOn of the fall of
kut. Now, in our day, we use it for
the main stream of traffic.
But the most charming feature of
Bagdad is the river front and this
alone is sufficient to compel ones adj
miratiOn for the city. Basra in COM
parisOn is all mad and shipping.
Amara is pretentious with a row Of
buildings of uniform design facing on
promenade, which reminds one too
much of a terrace on the front" of a
small seaside resort. Kut is pic
turesque too, but designed on a scale
BETTING its size and importance, and
with its mosques and public buildings,
the palms and the trees and more es-
pecially the numbers of delightful riv-
erside houses, with their verandas and
balconies and their exquisite little gar
denS Overhanging the river, Bagdad
has a character and a charm all it's
own.

IF Thin AND NERVOUS,
TRY PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO-PhOsphate to
Put ON Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

When one stops to consider the host of
thin people who are searching continually
for some method by which they may in
crease their flesh to normal proportions by
the filling out of ugly hollows, the rounding
off of protruding angles with the attend
ant bloom of health and attractiveness. it
is no wonder that many and varied sug
gestions along this line appear from time to
time in public print.
While excessive thinness might be at
tributed to various and subtle causes in
different individuals 1t is a well-knOwn fact
that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS in
the human system Is very largely respOn-
sible for this condition. Experiments on
humans and animals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question of
doubt that body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous, sickly and thin. A noted
author and professor in his book Chem
istry and Food Nutrition" published in 1918,
says: 80 that the amount of phos-
of man is seriously underestimated in many
of our standard text books"
1t seems to be well established that this
deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries as
of this phosphate bS the nerve tissue the
phosphoric content when absorbed in the
amount normally required by nature soon
produces a welcome change in our body and
mind. Nerve tension disappears vigcr and

holows and abrupt angles, becoming envel-
oped in a glow of perfect health and beauty
and the will and strength to be up and

DAMPNESS is HARD ON TIRES
Water Inside of Breaker Causes
Rapid Disintegration-Good Roads
Are Favored.

Wet weather is very destructive to
tires that are partly worn out. The
average motoriSt is apt to think of his
tires as being made only Of rubber,
and therefore waterproof.
A partly worn tire is a long ways
from being waterproof. however, and
the other materials that enter into
its construction are decidedly subject
to damage from water. When water
gets inside the breaker strip of a tire
and into the fabric and friction gum,
it causes rapid dlsintegration. One
reason why our good roads make tires
last longer is that they dry quickly
after rain. About the only good thing
that can be said for our dry winter is
the fact that tires last longer.

Yes, From Boston,

In one of the southern training
camps a profane and perspring infan-
try sergeant was doing his best to
pound into the heads of a squad of ex-
ceedingly raw ''rookies" the rudiments
of military science.
When the sergeant gave an order
each willing recruit of the squad made
a Commendable effort to execute it,
but every little rookie had movement
all his own, with highly unsatisfactory
results.
"As you were!" bawled the sergeant.
At this point the proceedings were
interrupted by a recruit from Boston,
who, before enlisting had been Har-
ward student.

quite legal infant when compared

REMOVE MALES FROM FLOCK
Infertile Eggs Are Best to Keep and
Cost Less to Produce-Send the
BOOSTERS to Market.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Produce infertile eggs. They are
worth more, as they keep Better and
they cost less to produce since there
are no ROSTERS to feed. No expense,
education, ability, or labor other than
catching and killing or selling the
ROSTERS are necessary. Remove the
males at once.
While eggs are plentiful some should
be preserved for the winter months,
as they will be scarce and high priced.
1t costs but little in time, money and
labor, and is so easily done that it is
only common sense to do it. Use
fresh, infertile eggs and let custom
ers know that they can get such eggs
for preserving. Those who have never
preserved eggs should get in touch
with the county or home demonstra-
ton agent, the state extension direct
OF, or the United States department
OF agriculture.
Now is the time to begin cullihg
flccks. Send the ROSTERS to the chop
ping block or the market. Eliminate
all weaklings and deformed chicks.
Get rid of the chick that stands along
the side of the coop with its wings
down, it's feathers ruff1ed, eye shut,
and head down. Do not keep a single
chick that you are not sure it will pay
to raise.

FOR CLEANING VALVE STEMS
Simple Way Is to Inject Little kero-

A simple way Of cleaning valve
stems which are under suspicion of
harboring carbon deposits is to inject
a little kerosene in the air valve of the
carburetor while the engine is run
ming. In this way little of the kero-
sene finds its way down the valve
stem and softens and washes off the
carbon. 1t is no bad idea to do this
once a month or so.

Defense Seeks to Prove That Concern Intended to Manu- fracture Car; Prosecution
 Prepares Counter-testimony

CHICAGO, Nov. B. Evidence in tended to show that methods employ ed in assembling the first Pan car were perfectly regular and such as were used by many reputable automo- bile companies, was introduced today by Attorney Cummins. defending IS officials of the Pan Motor company, on trial on charge of misusing the mails in promotion of the company.
 The prosecution countered by bring ing in evidence to show that Pandolfo was dissatisfied with the first model which Reed and Glazer, engineers of Indianapolis, had made for him at the time he was advertising it as very good car. The attorneys for the gov ernment also brought out testimony to show that while certain circulars which Pandolfo was purported to have been using at that time showed pie lures of a car worth about S1,4OO, the actual model was W-,rth in the neigh borhood of $500.
 w. s. Reed, an engineer, was on the stand the greater part of the aft ernoon.
 MT. Cummins spent considerable time questioning MT. Reed and brought out testimony to show that while the model car cost, according to evidence, $2,000, other cars made later cost only about $1,2O0, and that quantity production would have cost considerably less. MT. Reed also tes- tified that some objectionable fea- lures of the model car would have been removed in quantity production, where drop forgings could have been used instead of castings.
