Now is the time for America to
teach Europe to Eat Indian corn.
Without Indian corn.the white set
tiers in America would have starved.
Indians rave Puritans and other
settlers seed corn, taught them how
to raise corn, cook it and eat it.
No one people has ever done more
for the world than Indians have done
BY giving the world corn.
Most Americans, except in the
northwest wheat-belt. have learned
to be cornbread eaters-with profit.
Europe has not yet learned to eat
corn except few in northern Italy
and in the Balkan and a few others.
For their good perpetually as well
our own coming good commercially,
just now is our rare opportunity to
help them to food literally byteach-
ing them whatthe generous. Indians
taught our own ancestors, j. e. to eat
corn--and not give large food-help
for those who are not sick in any
other way.
The oil in corn is well-known.
With plenty Of cornbread for food
no large amount of meat is needed.
Indians knew this, and the first
white settlers learned it.
However, by principles of chem:
istry now known unless either meat
or plenty of vegetables are eaten
with corn, TOO exclusive corn diet
tends to make people bald-headed.
Europe has vegetables. Let US give
them corn literally and teach them
to eat it-like generous old Indians.

Tips to Lengthen
Life of Your Car
Given by Expert

William II. Stewart, jr.. of the
New York. has these five tips to
give the new driver. by which
he could lengthen the life of his
automobile beyond that of the
average machine:
Do not allow the engine to
race or to run when the car is
standing. Self-starters are made
to be used. and it is good for
the battery to be operated INTEL
ligently.
Keep the tires fully inflated
soft tires consume power as
well as destroy themselves.
Keep the carbureter adjusted
at the leanest possible mixture
"a lean mixture reduces carbon
deposits.
Don't try to economize by
purchasing the Just as good"
oil. Buy the right best grade.
and change the supply about
every 500 miles. You will find
this the most economical in the
long run.
If you follow the car driven
by an expert, you will notice
that he maintains constant
speed, that he does not loaf
along and then suddenly jump
to 40 miles an hour. You use
more gasoline when you accel-
crate. Select safe driving
speed. making only gradual
speed changes when it is neces-
sary.

though 1t fails to control any other
price. The drivers are asking an
increase and the public sympathy is
with them.
Havana cabs are gaily upholstered
and carry fanciful names. 1t is
common to see a ponderous black
laundress sagging the hindquarters
OF a staggering fiivver. carrying her
customers washing home.
The daily average output in the
latter part=ef 1919 for twelve repre-
sentative automobile makers was
$50 per cent greater than that of
the early months. The demand must
have been about $50 per cent
greater.

Did you ever stop to think that
modern industrial concerns contain
postofiices as large as many cities
in the United States?
For instance the Goodyear Tire

a day-as much mail as would be
handled by a postoffice in a city. of
so, 900 people.

False Economy.

Imperfect cores and caps in tire
valves frequently lead to extensive
and expensive injuries to castings

better way Is to carry a supply Of

The reason why automobiles are
