OIL FOR THROW-OUT COLLAR
There Are Several seIf-Feeding Cups
on Market Which May Be Used
for This Purpose.

In certain cars it is necessary to-
remove the floor boards in order to
lubricate the clutch throw-Out collar.
As Il consequence many car owners
neglect this important item of lubri-
cation, until trouble in the units
makes the need evident. In cases of
this kind where no provision has been
made for fabrication by having a
grease cup that extends up through
the floor boards it will be wise to in
stall an oil line to feed this part. This
can easily be done by arranging a
large oil cup to feed through a small
opening into metal pipe running to
the thrOW-Out collar. 1t is necessary
to have a small opening, so that the
flow of oil will not be too rapid, for
obvious reasons. There are several
self-feeding oil cups on the market,
which may be used to advantage in
this connection.

May Use Cottonseed Oil.

In the United States the yellow I'M
bleached palm oil is used very largely
in the tin plate industry. SO far it
is almost the only substance which
has been found satisfactory as a fux
on the discharge side of the pots of
melted tin through which the sheet iron
plates are passed to receive their coats
of tin. Recent experiments with by
drogenated cOttOnseed oil, however, in
dictate that our tin plate industry will
be independent of this foreign-con-
trOlled oil.

the necessary material. In fact, any
thing that will enable your car to get
on solid ground is cheaper than wait
ing all night for assistance.
One of the cleverest uses for the
jack was seen recently, when a wound
ed soldier drove into town in a heavy
car that had a broken spring. AS he
had a crippled leg, he was not strong
enough to lift the body of the car to
place a bumper or log between the
axle and the frame. But he had wise
ly provided himself with a small low
jack, which conveniently fitted into the
space between the axle and the body.
The jack is Indispensable during the
spring Overhauling or when there are
bent parts to the body or frame. For
example, bent body parts may be
Strengthened by giving the jack lev
erage against the garage wall.
Jacks have long been used in
garages that are not equipped with
huge machinery for Strengthening bent
frames and even front aXles. In addi-
ton to this, when Strengthening bent
frame with jack the chassis does not
need to be dismantled, as it would if
heat were applied.-G. +. Collins in

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy. developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinneSs.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods.~ Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
Sists as phosphate which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
esGary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance: the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, Sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health
CAUTION: Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
s!eeplessness and general weakness 1t
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

AUTO JACK Will.

Four of Them of Different Sizes

will JACK CAR OUT OF MUD
Device Is Indispensable During Spring
OverhauIing or When There Are
Bent Parts to Body or Frame

That little jack slowed away under
the seat of your car will do many help
full things, but three more of them,
OF different sizes, will save you much
time and temper.
For instance, when you get hope
lessly stuck in mud, sand, clay or even
snow your jack may be the means of
getting your car out of its predica-
ment and save you that six-mile walk
to the nearest village to get span of
horses.
Every jack should be fitted with a
twO-inch block of wood as broad and
long as will conveniently fit into the
car. If the jack is so equipped, it will
allow the car to be lacked up out of
the mudhOle, so that the rear wheels
can have boards slipped beneath them
for traction. If necessary it is not a
bad idea even to use the car cushion
for traction that is, if no plankS are
at hand and you are .hard-pushed for

Proud of His "Profession."

Burglars who served in the army
are going back to their old trade" said
a London police official the other day.
"These men deliberately elect to live
by stealing because they find it adven
turOus. 1t was with the same spirit
that they joined the army. At least
one convicted burglar won the Victoria
cross" Confirmation of this charac-
teristic is provided by "a captain in
famous fighting regiment, who declares
that one of the bravest men in his
company, a corporal with Dom. and
other honOrs, declared himself a pro-
feSsonal thief. His one regret" re-
marked the officer, twas that the re-
cruiting authorities would not let him
describe his occupation on his attesta-
ton papers as burglar.

MOST CONVENIENT TIRE TOOL
Little Wedge of Wood Can Be Slipped
in Between Beads and Pulled
Around Surface.

One Of the most convenient little
weapons for use in tire repairing is a
little wedge of wood three-quarters of
an inch thick and three to five inches
long, depending ON the size of tires
used. This wedge is slipped in be-
tween the beads and can be pulled
around the entire circumference of
the tire with one hand, while the 9TH
er is free to hold the tire. This is
much easier than trying to use both
hands to force the casing open, while
holding it on the shoulder.

per cent of the vegetable oil output of

DO NOT NEGLECT UNlVERSALS
Joints Wear Rapidly and Frequently
Break if Grease Is Lacking
Look After Them.

A dry universal wears rapidly and
frequently seiZes and breaks if it
lacks grease. Do not neglect, there
fore, the fabrication of your universal
joints. True, it is usually a lot of
trouble to grease them. They are I'M
der the car and just when you feel like
doing the job no grease gun is handy.
However, to neglect them is to court
disaster. They should be fabricated
about once n month.

SPARK PLUG TR0USLES

Two frequent causes of spark
plug trouble are oil or particles
of carbon collecting between the
points and sOoting of the pOrce-
lain. The first mentioned is
remedied by carefully removing
the oil or carbon and thus clear
ing the gap. If the carbon on
the porcelain is hard, do not at
tempt to scrape it off. Soak the
porcelain in kerosene or liquid
carbon remover until the carbon
is soft enough to wipe off clean
ly with a cloth.
Points out of adjustment or
burned away will also cause
missing. The points should be
adjusted to a gap of from one
thirty-secOnd to One-sixty-fourth
of an inch, depending upon the
ignition system, CarburetOr adj
justment and design of motor.

LOOSEN INACCESSIBLE NUTS
Best Plan Is to Use Socket Wrench of
Proper Size With~6is Wrench
for Leverage.

The best way of loosenng large

times found about the chassis, is to
use a socket wrench of the proper
size, with big wrench to furnish the
leverage. This combination will han

GOOD ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKES
II Too Tight, Friction Results and
Unit Becomes Hot-Good Plan to
Feel Brake Drum.

Heat is the inevitable concomitant
Of friction. When the brakes have
been too tightly adjusted, friction re-
suits and the unit becomes hot. 1t is
good plan to feel the brake drum
after an adjustment has been made
and the car run awhile, for if the parts
are too tight the heat present in the
drum will indicate the trouble.
