CARE AND ATTENTION
REQUIRED FOR TUBES
Owner Wants to Avoid lnconven-
fence of Changing on Road.
When Small Cracks Can Be Observed
in Rubber While Stretched, 1t Is
Indication That Tube Has
OutIived Usefulness.

"How am / to know when an inner
tube is 'done,' is a question am ask
ed repeatedly" declares tire dealer.
"It is the natural inquiry of tire
user. who has several repairs made on
his tubes and wishes to obtain the
utmost mileage from them, yet wants
to avoid the inconvenience of making
a tire change ON the road, due to tire
trouble.
"In these times when economy Is
the order of the day, tire user hol'l-
ing an old tube in his hand, can well
afford to ponder minute before cast
ing it aside as through
"It is difficult sometimes to deter.
mine just when a tube is unfit for
further service. However, porOsity in
tube usually indicates that it has
attained it's three score and ten. In
this stage of use, very small cracks
can be observed in the rubber if it is
stretched and examined carefully.
The next development is splitting
when the air pressure becomes too
great for the tube to bear.
"If the rubber in tube is live it
may successfully bear as many patch
es as a beggar's coat. But due care
must be exercised in the vulcaniZa-
ton of the patch to the tube, that too
large a portion of the tube around
the patch is not cured. If PORTIONS of
the tube have been Overcured inn patch
ing operations, disaster is sure to fol-
low.
'T believe that the lack of proper
care of the tube is responsible for
most of the troubles tire users ex-
perience. The observance OF few
precautions would help wonderfully to
eliminate these troubles.
"The absence of sufficient tale De
tween casing and tube allows the gen

tube to the fabric Of the casing. Then
when you attempt to remove ft, if

Much tube splitting is oceasioned
by the slipping of the tube between
the casing and the rim, which soon
results in a pinch The remedy lis

"It seems to me that the whole
problem OF obtaining maximum tube
mileage resolves itself into the sim
pie matter of taking care of it prop
erly."

HIS LIFE A STIRRING ONE
Conservation.

Jimmy is a small ten-year-old and,
very unpopular with the family just
now. He reckons time from bagful
of ill-gotten marbles, and has reduced
the use of soap and water to a fine,
point. The other morning he was, as
usual, late at breakfast. Finally his.
father mounted the steps a few at
time only to come on Jimmy in the
bathroom door looking complacently'
into his mothers hand mirror.
"What are you doing with that
mirror?" his father asked, brusquely.
Trying to see what part of my face

Kidney disease Is no respecter of per-

people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the fl

which are swept from the tissues by the

Kidney disease is usually indicated by

Worlds problems are being solved
by the motor truck, according to Will

a large motor truck concern. Care
full gathering of statistics by Mr..
Melhuish, consultations with authori-
ties, have shown conclusively that SO
per cent Of the perishable products
of the American farmers do not reach
the market.
Motor trucks will ultimately fill the
bill and enable every farmer to get to
the market 100 per cent of his produc-
ton of perishable foods" said Mr..
Melhuish. "As America promotes its
road building efforts and improves the
highways the farmers will see the
light by millions and motor truck MAX

with his own, and today has three
trucks in operation, all owned by him
and paid for, and has $1,000 in the
bank. Neighbors whose work he orig
inally did finally became purchasers
Of trucks and he took on the work of
others. The neighbors likewise pros
pered and spread out. Today the orig
inal farmer, able to reach the mar

only upon himself for the haulage,
has increased his acreage and is busy
with his own affairs largely, and max
ing more money than he ever thought
possible from farming.
Used Everywhere.
'Motor trucks are today being used
by farmers everywhere. Every day
we learn Of dealers who have seen
the light and who are giving up the
hard work Of selling in the Overcrowd-
ed cities to travel to the farming pop
ulation and to educate them into the
mysteries, as they call them; Of the

worth while. On the other hand, the

wonderful results in lowering the high

KEEP TOOLS FROM RUSTING
Mixture of Vaseline and Gum Camphor
Used as CoatinsRWill Prove
Satisfactory.

An excellent method of preventing
tools getting rusty is to give them
coating of vaseline in which little

which the mixture is melted over a
slow fire. The coating should be app

Badly Worn.

It is not always good practice. to fit
larger key to shaft in which the
keyway is badly worn and has been
cut to take the new key. The trouble
is that it is sometimes necessary to
remove so much metal that the shaft
Is seriously weakened. Any welding

CAUSE OF RADIATOR LEAKS

Steam Forces Opening.

A frequent cause of leaks in radia-
tors is that the vent in the filling cap
overfiows and becomes choked with
sediment, with the result that steam
accumulates in the radiator, and the
pressure seeking an outlet forces an
opening at the weakest point. A little
