to steer. It was partly wrecked or one of it's trips and never rebuilt.
 It was placed in the Conservatory of Arts and Trades in Paris, where it is still an object of much interest.
 In l7S7 Oliver Evans of Phlladel- phia built the first American auto mobile under patent granted by the state of Maryland. It also was so awkward and heavy that public opinion vetoed its practicability and the inventor was forced to abandon his further experiments. In 1881 Walter Hancock, an Englishman, built steam car that he called the Infant. This ear made regular trips between London and Stratford and in 1882 the distance was extended to Brighton. This vehicle carried eleven passengers and was run at an average speed of nine miles al hour.
 About 1874 Gottliob Daimer and Carl Benz began their basic expert ments in the field of internal com bustion, hydrocarbon motors. On May s, 1879, George Baldwin Sedden of Rochester. New York, filed an application for a patent. covering the use of the gasoline motor as a propelling force of Il road vehicle and upon the vehicle as a whole. This application was the pioneer pat ent of the industry. Selden did not build car until some years after his patent was granted. While Carl Benz of Mannheim, Germany. built the first internal combustion, hydro carbon motor-propelled vehicle in 1885, it was not until 1893 that the practically as it is known today was launched. Panhard & Levassor, in that year, manufac tured $50 motors, nearly all of which were sold.
 In America. Charles F. Duryea and Elwood Haynes were the first to build gasoline vehicles that would run. The eyact date on which these respective American pioneers first ran their cars is not accurately recorded, but it was some time in 1892. To Alexander Winton goes the credit of selling the first American automobile. On April 1, 1898, he sold one-cylinder Winton automobile to Robert Ali son of Port Carbon, Pa. Allison ran the car for two years and at Win

STEAL PRODUCE NOW.

Salina, Kas., Jan. 1O.-With egg values at an unprecedented figure. produce dealers, especially those of the small towns, are realizing that their wares are in the same class as Liberty bonds and bank deposits. A number of robberies of cases of eggs and produce houses have been made to city and county peace off cials recently. Produce dealers, it is reported. are required to keep watchmen in their places of busi- ness and in some places the egg buyers are reported to be installing vaults in which to keep their "stock of valuab bles." The fact that ie is almost impossible to identify a case of eggs and also that it can be readily converted into cash, po- lice officers say, encourages egg thieves

New York.-Mr. Tobacco User,
 any druggist will tell you that a
 remedy to be successfully sold must, above everything, possess, merit, otherwise failure is inevit- able. Nicotol, the famous remedy for the tobacco habit, was a suc- cess right from the start, simply
 because it quickly does the work
 promised. We public a few let ters from some of the best known druggists in the country to give you an idea of what they think of Nicotol, and you may rest assured that they would not permit the use of their names unless Nicotol was something out of the ordinary. The Peoples Drug Stores have five of the best stores in Washington, D. c. They write: Since we have handled Nicotol the sale has been greater than that of all the rest fthe articles of this nature which we have ever sold. The de- mand was SO great that we were compelled to order it locally pend- ing receipt of a shipment from YOU direct" Schramm-J ohnson, have six stores in Salt Lake City, say: "We take this opportunity of expressing ourselves relative to Nicotol. We have enjoyed very large sale on same and it has given entire satisfaction to our customers" Jacob Brothers of Philadelphia, Pa., have this to say: Our sales of Nicotol have passed our expectations. Our first order was placed late in March and we were forced to recorder before the end of April; the sales have kept up well ever since. There is no doubt that we are receiving many repeat orders fro mour customers and many expressions of opinion

Kerosene for i-Freezing Uses.
 C. <. Il. writes: 1 have been told by man residing in one of tha colder states, Maine, think, that he uses Kerosene in his radiator, durino the winter months. Are there anv obJectlons to this practice?
 Answer: Some motorists arc do. ing this successfully, but oftener a mixture of kerosene and heavy In, bricating oil is used. Kerosene has a much lower capacity for heat than water and thus it's temperature rms considerably higher under given en- glne ccndltlons. It gives off in fla1a enable vapors at Temperatures ne above 140 r. and it's use thus in wolves some fire risk. Kerosene can escape thru much smaller leak than can water. which tends to close such holes with rust and thus if is very hard to keep cooling system tight, with kerosene in it and when It escapes 1t spreads as a disagree able film over eevrything in the vit7nlty, while water forms into drops and gets out of the way. It is difficult to keep pump tight against kerosene, as the cup grease is dissolved by it. It also deteriorates rubber connections. If you experi- ment with kerosene be sure that none of the passages in your radia- tor are clogged. for if they are. you will not be able to draw the wat. CT out of them and this may freeze, when cold weather comes, because the kerosene will not mix with it or displace i. There are heavier oils, better adapted for radiator use than is kerosene. ..
 Magneto Ignition Fails Temporarily.
 G. E. M. Writes: Sometimes, when running on magneto, my Ford will stop firing and will not start again for some distance. When I switch onto battery, firing will commence again. If there is short-circuit in the magneto, where should I look for it? Are the magnets getting weak? Also when l advance the spark more than half way there seems to he heavy "drag" and the engine loses power. Can you give me any suggestions?
 Answer: If this trouble occur5 only at very low engine speed, you may suspect weakened magnets, but hardly otherwise. It is very un- likely that your magneto is short clrcuited. A temporary open cir cult is more likely Dirt under the magneto contact-spring in the top of the flywheel housing is common cause of this, You can remove and clean this by taking out the three screws that hold the magneto bind ing post in place. Possibly your trouble may be in the switch con- tact. Try interchanging magneto and battery wire connections on the back of the coil box and see if this transfers the trouble to times when you are running on battery. Make sure that the wire from the magne- to finding post to the magneto con- nection on the coil box is perfect pulling in new one if there is any question as to this. Possibly your commutator is set little too early or defective timer wires break cir tc"lt when you advance the spark lever more than half way.

 EASTER WEATHER
HARD FREEZE MONDAY
Snow Flurries Add to Wintry Char acter of Easter Day-Fruit May
 be Destroyed.

Much to the disgust of those who desired to adorn themselves in the Easter fnery, everything that the weather man predicted happened ac- cording to schedule on Easter Sun day. There were rain, hail, snow cold and freezing about as dis agreeable weather conditions as could have been arranged for the day.
 A heavy rain, accompanied by hail, began about midnight Saturday and was followed by cold northwest wind, which kept the temperature down close to the freezing point throughout Sunday. During the late afternoon, light flurries of snow occurred, but the fall was not sufficient for any to remain on the ground, The tempera- ture, however, continued to fall, reg istering a minimum last night of ? degrees, five points below the freez- ing mark
 Whether fruit was killed by the freeze is problematical and can hard ly be determined until later. Some growers are of the opinion that it was destroyed, while others believe that the wind had dried out the buds be- fore the freeze occurred and that they will not be badly damaged.
 Killing frosts and freezing temper atures are by no means rare at Con- way in April, according to records in possession of Prof. F. E. Cordrey, local observer for the weather bureau. In the last 27 years April killing frosts have occurred no less than nine times. or one year in every three. The lat est date of a killing frost since 1892 was on April 12, 1900. The earliest record of the last killing frost for a winter was on February 26, 1905. Dates of the last killing frost at Con- way in each year beginning with 1893. as compiled by Prof. Cordrey. have been as follows:
 1893, March 6; 1891. March %: 1895, March IT: 1896, March 20: 1897 March 24; 1898, April '; 1899, April 9; 1900, April 12; 1901, March 2f: 1902, March 19; 1903, April 4; 1904 April 10; 1905, February 26; 1906.

Dorothy Dix Talks
Connion-sense Cures-2.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer


There's the young woman who is
eaten up with envy of the things that
other people have. She sits with
folded hands and lets herself get bit
ter and morbid dwelling upon what a
cruel blow fate dealt her, when she
was not born with enough money
to get her the pretty clothes that rich
girls have.
The remedy for her trouble is as
plain as the nose on her face. All that
she has to do is to go to work and put
in as much concentrated energy and
thought in making money as she has
in wishing for it to come to her on
wings. Poverty is the most easily
cured disease in the world and the
one for which there is the most un-
failing specific. It is work. But far
too many women would rather be sick
with yearning for luxuries than to
take the remedy that cures it.
Sometimes a woman wakes up in
the morning with the blues, and gets
out of bed on the wrong foot. For
no reason at all she starts a quarrel
with her husband at breakfast and
spanks the baby. and shakes the chill
dren, and makes things generally un-
pleasant for everybody in the house
hold.
Generally she is in for two or
three days orgy of melancholy yet
there is a perfectly reliable remedy
for it that would relieve her in a
couple of hours. All she needs to do
is to put on her hat, and go out and
do something that amuses her, and
that will give her spirits q jolt back to
normal. Sometimes buying a pretty
hat, or going to the matinee, or just to
restaurant and having luncheon will
do it. But she scorns the plain
commons sense remedy and goes on
being morbid, and wretched, and max
ing everybody else so.
Every now and then a woman gets
to the place where she loathes the
domestic life, and considers matri-
mony failure. and wonders what
made her pick out the misera BILE
speciman of humanity she did for her
husband. and when even her children
figure in her thoughts as tiresome
brats instead of blessed angels, and
she dallfes with the thought of be-
coming a home deserter or a suicide
The remedy for this is a little visit,
or trip somewhere. Family life has
gotten on her nerves and all she needs
, is a change. Three days absence
would turn her home into a palace,
her husband into a romantic hero, her
children into cherubs and hang the
sun in her sky once more. But has
she sense enough to buy a railroad
ticket as a sure cure? Never. She
stays at home and grouches and grum-
bles and complains and takes out her
own misery in making her family
more miserable still.
The queer part of it all is. that
women are perfectly aware that these
common-sense remedies would cure
them. but they won't take them. The
only thing they will swallow whole is
some remedy that is expensive or
weird and mysterious
