considerably more than is the cost
Of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer
castings of tires have been made up
of combination of woven canvas fab
ric and hard rubber. During the
past five years there has come onto
the market new type of casing
known as sthe cord" tire, which is
rapidly gaining favor with motorists,
as they claim it IS longer lived than
is the canvas fabric casing In this
new tire, instead of using a woven
canvas fabric as a foundation, there
is used a series of strong cotton cords
or string. The claim is that these
cords will not break us readily under
the varying strains of country road
usage as will the woven fabric. If
one realizes that when the fabric Is
worn or rOtted out the tire is useless,
he will see the importance of having
this foundation material of the very
best which is available and which can
be used.-Farming Business.

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
Up Money Before He Can AS
pire to Wife.

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay a
sum of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, in adj
dition, they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose a
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali Indians hold widows
in less regard than unmarried females
is because they assert that in the
next world man and wife are reunited.
hence a widow who marries again is
only "lent" to her second husband.
When a young man courts girl who
does not favor his suit, he adopts an
eccentric way to cure her stubborn
ness. After having dipped his finger
in red paint, he goes in search of the
lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead, Then he may claim her as
his wife.

goodness of potted meats depends
upon the pounding and seasoning. If
carefully prepared and put away they
will keep for long time and will be
found most helpful in preparing emer-
genCy dishes.
Potted Chicken.-Take cold roast
chicken, rejecting the skin and sin
ews, chop fine and to every pint allow
a half cupful of chopped ham or
tongue. Put the bones of the chicken
into q saucepan, add a pint of cold wa
ter and simmer until there is half
pint of stock; strain and remove the
fat. Pound the chicken, ham or tongue
to q smooth paste. An old-fashioned
mortar and pestle is used for this, or
it may be ground through the meat
chopper until fine. Then pound, add
a little of the broth to thicken; sea-
son with cayenne, nutmeg and ta-
blespOonful of butter. Put into small
jars and press down tightly, cover with
a. cloth. and cover the cloth with a
paste made of -four and water, and
bake in q moderate oven One-halI nouF,
the Jars standing in water. Take out,
remove the cover and pour melted but
ter over the meat. Tie with paper
moistened with white of egg and keep
in q cool, dry place. This will keep
for months. and makes an ideal hot
weather dish Fresh beef's tongue,
cold roast veal, boiled or roast NUT
ton, ham and smoked tongue may all
be ported in the same manner.
Potted Fish.-Pick cold, cooked fish
to pieces, season with salt, pepper and
a little mace, then put into a jar, tie
tightly with a piece of muslin, cover
with q flour paste, stand the jar in wa
ter and bake one hour In a moderate
oven. When done and cold, pound the
fish to q paste, pack in the Jars and
cover with melted butter.

OBSTRUCTION IN FUEL PIPE
Various Causes for This Annoying
Trouble, but the Remedy Is
Simple Matter.

Sometimes the vacuum tank of
fuel system remains dry when there is
plenty of gasoline in the main tank.
Generally this is due to foreign matter
making its way into the fuel pipe be.
tween the two tanks and obstructing
the passage of the liquid. When this
is the case the simplest remedy con-
sists in filling the float chamber Of the
carburetor with gasoline-usually
drawn from the main falkland then
starting the engine. This will clear out
the pipe line by suction nine times out
of ten and the vacuum tank will begin
operating again. Sometimes it is nee
essary to speed up the engine some
what in order to loosen the obstruc-
ton.
Occasionally the cause of the trouble
is the stoppage Of the small air hole in
the filler~cap of the main fuel tank,
This should be kept open to give play
to the pressure of the atmosphere on
the fuel

local conditions and the prospects for
the development of a profitable and
permanent hauling business in their
communities. They neglect to inven-
tory such critical conditions as the
volume of farm products produced
along the contemplated routes, the vol
ume of miscellaneous hauling supple
mentary to regular loads; the compe-
titiOn of other carriers and the char
.acter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. A motOrtruck route
established in a sparsely-settled or
nonproductive region is foredoomed to
failure. At least a potential supply
of commodities must be available for
hauling if there is to be sufficient bust
ness to make the route a paying one.
A region devoted to the production of
Il few staple crops which move to mar
ket during a comparatively brief sea-
son, will not provide business for q
permanent route. For successful op-
Grafton a reasonably dependable ton
mage is essential throughout the year.

Going to Market Quickly and Comfortably

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Hauling farm produce to market in
motOrtrucks represents one means of
the successful solution of the "short
haul" one of the most difficult prob
lens which confronts the Transporter
ton expert.
The failure of railroads to keep
pace with the expansion of the short
haul business; the development of the
producing areas adjoining the larger
cities In proportion to the production
demands asked of them; and the up
building of the motortruck manufac-
turing activities, as we'll as the re-
cent war emergency crisis, have popu-
larized this method of moving farm
produce to market.
First Make Study of Conditions.
Pioneers have made mistakes which
should teach valuable lessons for
their successors. For example, too
many ambitious motor men buy their
truck first and then make a study of

fruit soups, the nOurishment depends
upon the ingredients used as with
other soups.
Such fruits as prunes, raisins figs,
bananas, persimmOns and pawpaws,
have more food value than most other
fruits though lacking in other ingre-
dents. The addition of stock or milk
and egg also adds to the food value.
Dried or canned fruit may be used
In soup making as well as fresh fruit.
Apple and Rice Soup.-Core and
slice very thin eight unpeeled apples.
Cook them with half a cupful of rice
in two quarts of boiling water until
both the fruit and rice are soft, then
put through sieve, add spice and half

ADVICE ON BUYING TRUCK.

There are several sources of
information which may be
helpful to the man contemplate
ing the purchase of a motor
truck.
Previous personal experience
of the operator is exceedingly
valuable. Experiences of other
operators may often be secured.
for the asking. Motortruck man
ufacturers will be glad to fur
nish prospective purchasers with
such information of this nature
as may be available. Data Sc
cured from truck manufacture
ers very often do not indicate
the conditions under which the
figures were secured.
Information thus offered is
usually an honest attempt to aid
buyers, but almost invariably
there is too much generalization
10 make suCn ugureS q very val
liable basis of estimation.
Many cost statements issued
by truck companies do not take
into consideration the varying
classes of highways over which
trucks run, variations in the
load, total monthly or yearly
mileage and other important
factors.
A bulletin recently issued by
the United States department of
agriculture's bureau of markets,
Motor Transportation for Rural
Districts" will aid the prospec-
tive operator. 1t will be sent
free on request.

using them in various dishes? The
saving of sugar IS not so vital now, but
we still need to use economy so that
foreign nations may have q share.
A handful of raisins added to al
most any fruit salad adds to its flavor
and richness.
For a tOothache one of the pleasant
remedies is split raisin, sprinkled
with a few grains of cayenne; press
the pieces together and place the
raisin on the gum nearest the tooth. A
hot raisin is said to cure earache.
Apples Stuffed With Raisins.-Wash,
core and remove the pulp from dozen
smooth, firm apples. Put through the
meat chopper two cupfuls of the apple
removed, and two cupfuls of seeded
raisins; add one tablespoonful of lemon
juice. Stuff the apples with this mix
ture and place them in a creased bak-
ing pan. Into sauce pan put q cup
full each of water and corn strip, add
a tablespoonful of butter and boil for
five minutes. Pour this sauce over the
apples and bake until they are tender.
Serve either hot or cold.
Raisin Pancakes-Beat the yolks of
three eggs, add two cupfuls of milk
(sour), two tablespoonfuls of melted
fat, three cupfuls of flour, teaspoon
full of salt and one teaspoOnful of soda.
Beat WE'LL then add one cupful of seed
less raisins and fold in the stiff1y beat
en- whites. Cook on a hot griddle and
serve with maple strip or honey.
A few chopped and steamed raisins
added to ordinary boiled frosting
makes a very good cake filling. Nuts
will make a still richer filling, If few
are added, finely chopped.

SAFETY FIRST

First, assume that you must
look out for yourself and the
other fellow, too. Don't rely
wholly on the other fellow do
ing the right thing, and you'll
be on your guard if he does the
wrong thing, and ready for the
emergency.
Do not cut the corners in turn
ing, but keep well to your side
of the street and look both ways
before you make the turn.
Put out a hand as q guide to
the car following or approach
ing.
In passing a slower moving
vehicle, pass it on your left, but
in passing a street car always
keep to the right.
DO not follow another vehicle
too closely. 1t might stop sud-
denly.
Dim your lights when APP
preaching another auto on the
road.
Use common sense at all times
and you'll save trouble for your
self and the other fellow.

Pastry shells filed with fresh fruit
or with various gelatin mixtures are

Mine SWeepers at Work.

Mine sweepers are ships that dis
cover and sweep up explosive mines
that are put into the sea in time of
war for the destruction of enemy
ships. Usually two small vessels work
together in the mined area. The ships
drag a mine cable, one end of which
is on each ship, the middle part of
the cable being suspended at the
proper depth from floats. The mines
are caught or exploded by the cable.

NEW AUTO TIRE FINDS FAVOR
Claimed by Those Who Have Used 1t
to Last Longer Than the
Ordinary Make.

Manufacturers of automobile tires
are keeping right to the front in the
motor car industry. Buying new tires
to replace the old wornout and dam
aged ones is one of the chiefest
sources of expense in the ownership
and operation of an automobile. Even
with the lighter weight cars the tire
cost per mile of travel is equal to, if
not greater, than the cost of fuel and
oil; with the heavy weight, high
priced cars using the larger sizes of
tires the tire cost per mile is often
