Brown shelac mixed with graphite

Loose connection results in under

In case your motor will not start,
don't keep flooding the carburetor.
Prime the motor by putting gas in the

Serious accidents have occurred be-

A little daily attention to your car

a horse you would see that it was fed

Today the Diapers company is
actively engaged in administering its
trusts, and in promoting education and
charitable work in many different
ways. by means of its corporate funds.

be mentioned its annual scholarships

chief branches of the textile trade, in
their respective districts, and its an

Henry VIII for "CrOmwel House." the

quiet and ancient garden, with its

Curious Cities In the World.

Some curious cities of the world are told about In Leslie's. Among them Is the remarkable town of Curva, Bolivia, built entirely on a curved mountain top. One of the most pe- cullarly located towns In the world Is this one, most aptly named Curva. It Is situated high in the Bolivian An- des and Is entirely confined to the top of hill. In Patagonia, at the southern extrenity of South Amer lea, lumber of any kind is extremely scarce, says Detroit News. So the town of Puerta Madryn, S3S miles from Buenos Aires, Is constructed entirely of tin and zinc. These are brought down from the capital and are much cheaper building materials than lum- Der. The houses, roofs and walls are built of metal; the fences also are constructed of it. with a wooden frame. The curious town of Newcastle, Ja. maica, is located on the side of hill in such a way that none of the houses are on the same level. Even in the graveyard. every tombstone is higher or lower than its neighbors.

Romance of SolWay Firth.

That shallow. dreary yet romantic stretch of waters, the Solway firth, has many legend of ghost ships connect ed with it. A hundred years ago, on the eve before Christmas merry bri- dal party set out in one of the small craft peculiar to the Solway to be fer ried across to the Scottish side. All went well until midstream, when a sailing vessel came beating down the firth and crashed into the boat, throw ing the party into the water. Despite their cries for help the vessel contin- ued its course and the bride and bridegroom with their friends met a watery grave. It is said that the sail ing vessel was manned by rival of the bridegroom. who so revenged him. self. Anyhow. an apparition of the boat Is said to appear at times, manned by the fleshless ghost of the murderer.

Light Unto Deluded GirIhood.

The men, if questioned, all will say the girls they hope to wed some day must, above all. be perfect cooks-no matter if they are short on looks. Their clothes must be severe and plain and all their actions sound and sane. But when these men pick out their wives, each mothers son of them connives to wed pretty form and face who feeds him naught but mayonnaise. He passes up the paragons. and to dimpled chin succumbs. So girls. if you are hunting beaux keep lots of powder on your nose. Your sister who Is making pies had better learn to use her eyes.

Tennis 300 Years Old,

It may be claimed that lawn tennis Is at least three centuries old. having been played in 1591 when Queen Eliza beth was entertained at Elvetham. in Hampshire. by the earl of Hertford. Strut, quoting from Nichols Progress of Queen Elizabeth" tells us that "after dinner about 8 o'clock. ten of his lordship's servants. all Somerset shire men. in a square green court, be- fore her majesty's window. did hang up lines. squaring out the form of a tennis court and making a cross line in the middle. In this square they, be- ing stripped of their doublets. played, five to five, with handball to the great liking of her highness."

Pigeons In European Cities.

The pigeons of London are one of the sights to which the attention of visitors is always drawn. St. Paul's churchyard is a great place of gather ing, and here the birds flock down for the midday meal spread for their bene- fit. They feed out of the hands of their benefactors, perch on their shoulders, and flap and glitter in the sunshine as they fly up and down. Pigeons seem to belong to certain places. Admiralty arch is another favorite resort, but all over the city the birds have small colonies, and crowds of faithful friends In Venice and in Florence the pigeons are as much part of the picture as the greatest buildings, fin ishing touch, as 1t were, with which nobody can dispense.

Calamity on the Farm.

Harold was better acquainted with automobiles than with horses. his knowledge of the latter being chiefly confined to the delivery wagon and truck horses that he saw pass through the alley behind his apartment house home. Therefore the horses at his grandfather's farm were a source of great interest to him and he was with John. the hired man. as much as pos sible during the two weeks of his visit to the country. When one morning John turned the horses out into the lot and one of the animals laid down and relied over. Harold rushed to the house in great excitement. "Oh. grandpa. old Bob's turned turtle!

Cost of Wives.

What is the market in wives? It is said that among the Ainus the price of one Is bear ham. The Kaffir figures variously from four to eight oxen. ac- cording to the competition for the par ticular bride. A score of cartridges buys wife in Uganda. and the Aus tralian black gives the weight of his better half in butter. while the Tartars in Turkestan get as many wives as they want at the rate of oox of matches each. In Wales wives are given away-they are paid for after ward mostly in weekly installments.- Cardiff Western Mail.

It was too much like slaughter firing at them at so close a range.-Daw- son News.

CHILDREN WE WORRY ABOUT

Close confinement to school during
the past winter, overstudy perhaps, an
attack of the grip or tonsilitis, some
one of these things is doubtless respon-
sble for the condition of the child who
shows a decline in health now.
What are the symptoms? Pallor and
languor. a tickle appetite, dark rings
under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very
often the best efforts of the family
physician fail in such cases and the
condition of the child causes the most
intense anxiety. Cod-hver OIL SO often
prescribed, generally fails because the
weak stomach is unable to digest fats.
Try this treatment. Before break
fast each morning give the child the
juice of half an orange After the noon
meal give one of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. Keep this up for few days then
give one of the pills after the evening
meal also. Weigh the child before be.
ginning the treatment and again after
two weeks. An increase in weight of
from two to five pounds will show you
that you are on the right track at last.
Care is necessary in the diet of the
patient, and it will be well to send to
the DR.. Williams Medicine CO., Science
tady, n. Y, for the book, What to Eat
and How to Eat" Your own druggist
sells DR. Williams Pink PLY, or they
will be sent by mail, postpaid, on re-
eeipt of price, 60 cents per box.--Ady.
