of hilariously happy spectators. And
as the stage understudy saw chance

his prayer-that some day he might
be at the wheel and throttle of spit

and time again was he ready to leap
into the drivers seat, only TO feel the

1t is true saying that your health
is only as good as your blood. Good,
rich blood manifests itself in heal
thy, natural complexion, clear, keen
eyes; tireless energy and enthusiasm;
and an abundant supply of reserve
strength.
And just as positively does poor
thin blood directly influence the en-
tire system. Pale, sallow compilations;
dull eyes; listless step; languidness;
tiredness; worn-out feeling; general
dejectedness and unhappiness-all
are positive signs that the body is not
receiving it's proper nOurishment
through the blood.
to-Mangan helps restore vigor-
Gus health, because it contains the
very elements so much needed by the
blood to enable it to perform its func-
tions and supply the body with nour-
ishment, energy and strength.
For your convenience, Pepto-Man-
gan is prepared in tablet as well as
liquid form. Both possess exactly
the same medicinal value.

Mangan, and that is Guides" If the

Murphy gained confidence in himself
as his car gained speed. Milton drop
ped out on his fifty-fourth lap and
stood ready to relieve Murphy the
minute he shold stop for engine trou-
BILE or tire change.
But good fortune and success rode
with Murphy on that record breaking
race. His engine ran smoothly. His
Goodyear tires came, through with a
perfect performance.
Frenzied spectators tensely watched
the new speed demon hurtle about
the course, tearing off mile after
mile. Car after car he passed, cross
ing the wire an easy first, negotiat-
ing the entire $50 miles without a
single tire change or stop, and having
maintained an average speed of 1882
miles an hour.
Despite the frightfuI punishment
inflicted upon them, the Goodyear
tires on Murphy's car were in splen-
did condition when inspected after
the race and the new champion was
enthusiastic in his praise of their de-
pendability, admitting that he owed
his success largely to their perfect
performance which kept him from be-
ing replaced by Milton.
Goodyear shod cars driven by Ira
Vail, Eddie O'Donnell, Eddie Hearne,
Ralph De Palma and John De Palma,
finished third, fifth, sixth, eighth and
ninth respectively. Vail and O'Don-
nell made but one tire change each.
Hearne and John De Palma both
drove the entire race with perfect
tire scores.
Murphy announces that he will
drive in as many contests as possible
this year. His initial appearance
stamps him as a driver to be reckon
ed with in the future events, and the
motor world win watch with interest
the success of this intrepid speed de-
mon who shattered all records by VIM
ming his first professional race.

HOME CURING OF
PORK
BY William Kerr.

Farmers have been marketing their
fat hogs and buying back the cured
meat until at present most OF them
have forgotten the old art OF curing
meat. Under present conditions,
where the prices charged for hams and
bacon are out of all proportion to the
price received for fat hogs, no home
should be short of good supply OF
home-cured meats.
Salt, saltpeter, sugar and molasses
are the principal preservatives used in
curing meats. Other chemicals are
not necessary and should not be used.
When salt is applied alone, it draws
out the meat juices and hardens the
muscle fibers, thus causing the meat
to become very hard and dry. Sugar
and molasses counterfeit the action Of
the salt by softening the muscle fibers
and also aid in improving the flavor
of the meat. Thus, by using COM
bination of both salt and molasses, the
preserving qualities of both are Sc
cured and the Objectionable qualities
of the salt cure eliminated. Some peo-
pie use saltpeter to preserve the nat
ural color Of the meat, while others
prefer not to use it; 1t hardens the
meat and should be used very sparing-
ly.
Before the curing of meat is at
tempted, all of the animal heat should
have escaped. In cold weather this
will take place in "a to 36 hours at
ter killing. The meat should not be

Automobile Licenses.

In order that there may be a uni
formity in the enforcement of the
automobile license law for 1920, il
has been suggested that certain date
be specified, subsequent to which any
person operating a motor vehicle on
the highways of the State without a
license be subject to arrest. Hereto
fore one Assessor has set certain
date, another one has date later on,
and there has been general confusion
| therefore request that March 18th,
1920. be set as the dead line for this
year. Notice should be so given by
advertising in the local papers, and
after that date it is hoped the CO.
operation between the Assessors, the
Sheriffs, members of the State Con-
stabulary, and other peace officers
will develop strict enforcement of
this particular law.
Of course, the license fees are due
January LIST, 1920, and registrations
will occur in January and February
as usual, but the dead hne date, March
18th, sets the limit of patience and en-
ables peace officers to begin con-
certed and uniform drive to enforce
the law.
BY delay in the collection of these
fees, the Counties and State lose
large amount of revenue in interest
which belongs to them. By early CO.
operative effort on the part of the
Assessors and peace officers OF Ida-
no, the automobile law can be more
enforced, and these fees
can be more quickly made available
for highway purposes.
ROBERT o. JONES,
Secretary of State.
Pursuant to the above suggestion
from the State Department, all peace
officers of Gem County are hereby
after March 18th, 1920, to
arrest and swear to a complaint
charging misdemeanor, against any
person violating the provisions of the
license law.
