"a contortfonist. During the sum
mer, the necessity for draining Is
not so frequent and the inaccessi-
Bile position or the drain cock is OF
little concern. But in winter, the
safety of the radiator often de-
ponds upon frequent draining. and
the position of the drain cock Is
then a source of never-ending an
noyance. This Inconvenience may
be easily remedied. A hole Is drilled
in the handle Of the drain cock. One
end OF a piece of iron rod is inserted
and bent into an eye. The rod 10

iron which is bolted to the frame,

port but a trifle larger than the

will result. A handle can easily be
formed on the end Of the rod. and as
this will be in a readily accessible
position, the drain cock can now be
opened without any difficu lty.
squeaky Cylinder.
A squeaky cylinder indicates dry
piston rings, piston and cylinder
walls. The simplest method OF
remedylng q squeak within the
cylinder Is to inject oil through the
spark plug openings or the pet
cocks. New engines are often fed
oil through the carburetor. When
only one or two cylinders are dry,
there Is no necessity for adding ex-
ira oil to the crankcase, as this
would perhaps cause an excessive
oil consumption by the other
cylinders. 4.

Delightful new vanishing cream containing true buttermilk makes you look years younger or your money back.
 The first application of Towards Buttermiik Cream will astonish you. It creates beauty almost like magic, but the most wonderful thing about it is the fact that whilst it turns the dullest and most lifeless com plexion to radiant beauty and makes red or rough arms snowy white, yet there is not the slightest sign of its use after application. It actually vanishes from sight and the most heated atmosphere will not produce the least shininess or greasiness of the skin.
