BEARINGS ARE.
MUCH ABUSED
Use of Impure Oils, Carelessness in
Washing and Many Other Acts
of Abuse Are Noticed
by Experts.

A prominent bearing manufac-
turer calls attention to the fact that
the use of impure oils and careless
ness in washing the running gear and
other parts of automobiles are things
which have a very detrimental effect
upon the bearings, which do not get
half the attention they deserve, any
way.
Many cases of failure of wheel
bearings have been directly at
tributed to rust, caused by the indis-
criminate application of stream of
water at forty or fifty pounds pres
sure per square inch to the parts of
the car in which they are mounted.
Water, or corros We substances in
greases or oils have virtually the
same effect, viz, etching of the finely
finished surfaces of balls and races
on which the capacity and friction
less qualities of a ball bearing are
SO dependent.

CAN CULTIVATE
TASTE FOR FISH
Americans on Coasts viii Eat Only
the Sea Animals Which Their
Ancestors Ate-Nebras-
kans Eat None.

In our coastal cities there is a
highly developed taste for sea food
but, like the ethics Of Confucius. 1t
is based on the worship of ances
tors, says The Nations Business
When the first settlers came to these
shores a few centuries ago they were
used to eating cod and haddock and
mackerel and a few other kinds, and
they went on eating them. Their de-
scendants are eating them still And
the worst of it. they won't eat any
thing else in the way Of fish. The
bureau of fisheries has again and
again published impressive lists of
the valuable food fishes which swim
in our coastal waters, but which the
fishermen must throw away because
there is no market for them.

LIVED ALL HIS
LIFE ONE PLACE
A. ,Frisbie Andrews, Winsted, Conn.
Lived and Died in House
Built by His Grand
father in 1910.

A distinct exception to what has
come to be a general rule in Ameri-
can life is to be noted in the case
of A. Frisbie Andrews, of Winsted,
Conn, who has just died at the age
Of Sc in the house in which he was
born and has always lived, says the
New York Sun. The grandfather,
Samuel Hayden. shod horses for
revolutionary officers in his shop
across the street when the troops
passed over Wallin's hill. The dwell
ing was a tavern in those days, and
when the house was remodeled later
the original lines were kept. Thus
the original frame was preserved for
the old picture, the old man ending
his days under his grandfather's roof
tree.
Beyond this fact the correspondent
tells nothing Of Mr.. Andrews; maybe
there was little to tell, probably his
annals were short and simple enough.
In the land of his early forbears his
continuing life in his fathers house,
and his grandfather's, would have
been a commonplace of England or
North Britain. But in the United
States today such an incident must
be thought singular to New En- gland
as matter of course-save possibly
in some remote southern mountain
district-and one chance in ten thou
sand In ten thousand? Does even
one man in ten thousand in this land
of continual change and flux, restless
as the sea, abide in the house Of his
fathers until he dies?

Ryan sold twenty-seven head Of hogs
at his night sale for an average OF
almost S72.O0. The highest price was
paid for an orange bred boar which
brought $3.50. Another spring boar
by the Rainbow brought s295. Most
of Mr. Ryan's offerings were spring
pigs so the price was not so large
perhaps as it should have been. 1t
is likely that if Mr.. Ryan could have
sold at another time he would have
received better prices, but he was
forced to take this date in order to
get in the circuit. The pavilion was
lighted in fine shape for the sale and
proved that the building was we'll

night.

of the season. While there were no

great herd boar, Liberator's Fashion.
She brought 5000. This price was
also paid for one of the fall yearlings
in the Harrison's Big Bob litter. The
entire offering averaged almost s95

sale was a success in every way. A

Mr.. Murray was unfortunate in los

were being moved to the fair grounds.
His death was caused by overhead
ing as it was quite warm the day
before the sale.

NEW TASTELESS
CASTOR OIL IS
EASY To TAKE
Strength and Purity Remain the
Same, but Unpleasant Taste
is Removed.

A remarkable process perfected by
the chemists of Spencer Kellogg &
Sons, Inc, has resulted in great
in castor oil, the re-
liable old family remedy. This new
tasteless castor oil has the same
strength and purity as the old
fashioned kind. It's 1000 pure cas-
tor oil. Nothing has been removed
but the nauseating taste. Think
what this means to mothers and their
children. When the doctor says,
Give them castor OIL there need no
longer be any trouble. Children need
never know they are taking castor oil.
Grown-ups will also appreciate the
difference between keIIoog's Taste
less Castor Oil and the old-fashioned
kind. Sold by all good
druggists. If you want castor oil
absolutely without nauseating taste,

bottles, plainly labelled keiloga's
