you do.
After the first trip take wrench
and go over every nut and bolt on the
car TO make certain that all are tight.
The engine parts should get especial
attention, for defect here will result

Make your inspections frequently for
the first 1000 miles, until the car will
have worn I'm somewhat. Then you
can relax your vigilance bit.
Study instruction Book.
Make thorough study of the In.
structlon book. Look ut the lubrlca-
tion chart and famillarize yourself
with the location of every grease cup
and oil hole. Then see that all are
kept filled properly. This will insure
against worn parts or scored bearings
and, incidentally, allow you to learn
the fabrication system thoroughly.

Remove Looseness.

Our government experts Mt Wash
ington tell us that the banana is not
only one of the most nutritious fruits
but is one of the most easily digest
ed, which explodes some popular the
ories regarding tins fruit.
The banana has still another quality
which should highly recommend II.
The thick skin which covers II Is Il
protection against all contamination
and makes 1t one of the most sanitary
articles Of diet
As TO the digestibillty of the banana,
ripe ones are classed with the easily
digested foods, but II Is important TO
see that the fruit is ripe. The skin
of the fruit should be dark yellow or
covered with brown spots; often the
best fruit If firm is found in the skins
which are dark brown.
Care should be taken to have the
fruit cut from the stalk leaving the
skin unbroken.
A ripe banana served with n glass
of milk Is satisfying meal for one
desiring a light luncheon.

Determining SEX OF CHICKS
According to French Scientist, the

tain Indication.

That the weight Of eggs may indi-
cate the sex Of chickens, under certain
conditions, Is suggested by experiments
reported to the French Academy of
Sciences. Noticing the heaviness Of
the cock, NJ. Leinhart found that in
all breeds Of fowl the adult male Is
from one to two pounds or more heavier
than the female, and even In chicks as
young as five days the difference
ranges from a little more than half an
ounce to a little less than an ounce.
This made II appear that the differ
ence might also exist In the egg. Many
trials showed that the eggs Of leg.
horns weighed from 10 to 20 ounces,
the average being % ounces, and in
the spring of 1913, GO eggs selected on
account Of their size, were placed In
an incubator for Matching. The select
ed eggs weighed between 81 ounces
and 2.5 ounces, seven being slightly
below the average, while the others
exceeded II. The chicks Matched num-

Of man was drawn to a hollow feeliag

the vertebral column. This vacancy
he proceeded to fill with q slab Of
bread, chunk OF beef, a pot Of rice
etc., favored as a rule with butter,
Jam, garlic, ETC., according to race, re-
ligion, climate, age. etc. This settled
the problem till the next call from
the far East.
1t pains us to say that this was liv-
ing to eat and not eating to live. It
showed no adjustment Of means to
end. It was a system of food that
made no distinction between a long
shoreman and a free-verSe poet. II
was internal anarchy.
Happily the truth has been realized.
The consumption of food is no longer
destructive but constructive. Man no
longer eats corned beef and cabbage.
but the vitamines in the beef and the
polyZeugmatics in the cabbage. When
he picks up the bill Of fare he no long
err says, "What will most speedily and
cheaply allay the unrest in my far
East?" but he says, "Where can find
the 1880 carbonuxates that will give
me the right outlook on the League Of
Nations?" And he finds 1t In unpolish-
ed rice. Or he says to himself, 81 am

!absently as he took his gaze off

desk in front Of him. "Why, hello
there! It's Conover. Glad to see YOU"
Brockton shook his visitors hand
warmly as he offered him a seat.
"Yes," was all that Conover could

chair like a piece Of lead.
The older man leaned back in his
chair and waited, an expression Of
amused sympathy playing over his
face.

tlons That Are Astonishing.

The rat Is the worst animal pest In
the world.
From its home among filth 1t visits
dwellings and store rooms to pOllute
and destroy human food.
1t carries bubonic plague and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
been responsible for more untimely
deaths among human beings than all
the wars Of history.
In the United States rats and mice
each year destroy crops and other
property valued at over $200,0OO,000.
This destruction Is equivalent to the
gross earnings Of an army of over
100000 men.
On many a farm, IL the grain eaten
and wasted by rats and mice could be
sold, the proceeds would more than
pay all the farmers taxes.
The common brown rat breeds siI
to ten times year and produces an
average Of ten young at a litter. Young
females breed when only three or four
months old.
At this rate q pair of rats, breeding
uninterruptedly and without deaths,
would at the end of three years rs
generations) be increased to 1853, 7O9,-
1872 individuals.
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization and
at the same time has been feeding
them and building for them fortresses
for cOncealment
If we are to fight them on equal
terms, say specialists of the biological
survey Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, we must deny
them food and hiding places and must
organize to rid communities Of them.
The department has devoted a great
deal of study to the problem and is
anxious to help in rat determination.
