According to Mrs. May Hull, who
lives at 923 Sixth avenue Des Moines,
Iowa, work in her ten-room house is
now like mere play. Few men folks
understand what this means. They
can't realize the many steps a woman
takes and the million other things she
does to keep their homes coy and
clean. Only women know the true
meaning of "housework" and the
physical strength it takes to make
them enjoy 1t.
Perhaps no testimony yet told DEM
onstrates the full value Of Pepgen any
more than the interesting story Mrs.
Hull tells. She says: "Catarrh Of the

mouth and dizzy headaches. had no
appetite for breakfast. l was nervous
and everything seemed to upset me.

.SHABOUTH FEAST
TO Be HELD JUNE 4

Shabouth, the Jewish Feast o.
Weeks. falls this year on wednesday,
June 4. The festival originated in
I Deuteronomy xvi. Q: Seven weeks
shalt thou number unto thee; from
the time the sickle is first put to the
1 standing corn shalt thou begin 20
number seven weeks. And thou shalt
keep the efast Of weeks unto the Lord
/ thy God after the measure Of the free
will Offering Of thy hand. which thou
shalt give according as the Lord thy
! Cod blesseth thee"
In Biblical times, the feast OF weeks
was merely a farmers holiday. at the
! end Of the first seven weeks of har-
vest. In common with other agrIcul
tural feasts. II underwent a gradual
trans formation. A universal signifi-
canoe came TO be attached to the fes-
tivaI in which the ripcned fruits OF
the spirit were Offered in praise and
thanks as an offering from the poo
pie Of the covenant To this day, the
Ten Words are read in tho synagoguca
and the pledge OF loyalty made by the
fathers Of old TO the covenant OF
Israel renewed by their sons in love
and faIthfulness.
Within the last century, the Feast
OF Weeks has obtained an added
charm by introducing a confirmation
ceremony in connection with its OBJ
servatiDn. This ceremony was intro
duced by the leaders Of Reform Juda-
ism. This service does not exact
from the children any other confess
sion than that Of belief in one God.

Keen competition is another factor
In motOrtruck service. Some opera
tors have found 1t possible to COM
pete successfully with rail service and
yet to charge rates rather higher than
were charged by the customary car
riers. Such conditions, however, are
only possible where the service is de-
veloped on a most extensive scale.
Freight and express schedules in some
districts have been unsatisfactory to
shippers recently, and by offering a
more prompt and speedy service truck
owners have developed a very satis-
factory business that ordinarily would
be handled by rail.
Good Roads Essential.
Good roads are a prerequisite to
successful motortruck operation. Very
few operators appreciate the increased
expense which results from travel over
poor roads. The unfortunate operator
who tries to maintain his services over
highways which are virtually impas-
sable and unsatisfactory has found
that his daily operation costs far ex-
coed the average normal expenses and
seriously affect his profits.

Give attention
TO AUTO LIGHTS
Owners Overlook Essential Part
. by Thinking Wiring Too Com
plicated to Master.
LEARN TO READ HYDROMETER
Prevent Short Circuits by Watching
Insulation and Patching Worn
Places With Tape-Carry Du-
plicate Set Of Bulbs.

Most car owners believe the light
ing system on a car is too complicated
to be mastered. But it is not at all
difficult to learn how to take care of
it. The battery, the lights, the ~
meter, the fuses and the wires can
readily be understood and should be
inspected occasionally. Every motor
list should know how to read a hydrom-
eter and test the battery. The Gel
luloid hydrOmeter is better than the
one made of glass, because 1t is not
SO easily broken.
A reading of from 1875 to 1900 in
dicates that the battery is in good con-
dition and is being properly charged
by the generator. If the reading is
down to 1900 it indicates that the
lights or the the starter are being used
too much.
Keep the battery terminals tight
and cover them with cup grease to
prevent corrOsiOn by the battery acid.
Short circuits can be prevented by
watching the wire insulation and COW
ering worn places with tape.
Watch Ammeter Closely.
The ammeter should be watched
closely, for it indicates whether the
battery is charging when the engine
is running. The very best type of
ammeter is that which shows the rate
at which the charging or discharging
takes place.
When the car is running at normal
speed-say 20 miles an hour-with all
lights on, the ammeter should show
charge. If it does not, the battery
will soon be discharged. Always see
that the ammeter doesn't register dis
charge when the lights and ignition
are turned off. This would be caused
by a short circuit between the ammeter
and the switch.
Occasionally an ammeter needle be-
comes bent, giving an incorrect read
ing. This may be determined by shut
ting off the lights and di%sconnecting
the wire from the ammeter to the
switch. If any variation is noted 1t
must be allowed for when making a
reading.
Arrangement Of Lamps.
1t is always a good plan to carry a
duplicate set of lamp bulbs for the
car. Note the voltage of the tail light
and the instrument light. If these are
marked 3V instead of 6V 1t means that
they are wired in series-that is, the
current must pass through one and
then through the other BEFORE 1t
grounds. This is done to notify you
whether the tail light is burning. Is
n Of these lights goes out the other
also goes out. These lamps must not
be put In sockets marked for 6V lamps,
such as the side lights, as they would
burn out In a few seconds. On the
other hand, a CIV lamp would not be
