is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate

acids in the urine so it no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending

COASTING DOWN LONG GRADE
1t Is Dangerous Practice Unless Driver
Ia Thoroughly Acquainted
With Highway.

Coasting down a long grade with
many curves is dangerous, unless you
gine be running in neutral. Deep sand,
a wet spot in the road, or any Of a
number of conditions might be met
that would require quick work to pre-
vent an accident. The driver has bet
ter control if the engine is running and
the clutch engaged. Poor brakes help

These spots are hard to get off, but a
treatment with raw oil, applied with
plenty of elbow grease, will come as
near turning the trick as anything.
Cause Of Knocking.
In motors with detachable cylinder
heads great care should be taken to
see that the gasket used to pack the
joint does not project into the combus-
ton chamber. When this occurs the
gasket is likely to become incandes-
cent, causing preignition knocks and
even baek-iring in the carburetor.
Homemade Cement.
Four parts Of iron filings, two of
lime and fifth part of common salt
mixed to paste with vinegar make
an excellent cement for spark plugs,
for connecting pipes, etc. When care
fully mixed this cement will stand
compression and heat and can be air
dried.

All new cars and those which have

have the cylinder oil drained from the

have this oil drained after the first 500
miles, on account of the accumulation
of grit, particles of carbon and dirt

Enforcement of Rule Not Only Pro-

The traffic rule requiring cars to
turn corners at four miles an hour is
not merely to protect pedestrians, but
is for your benefit as we'll. Turning
corners at high speed strains the tires,
spokes and axles, and may result in
skidding, followed by an overturned
