he is hostile to the administration
'T would like to know about the
treaty being negotiated between

The oil used in the engine is SUBJ
jected to great heat. particularly
that which comes in contact with
the upper end of the piston. In
evitably a certain amount Of the
virtue of the oil is eventually lost.
II fresh oil is poured into the reser-
voir to bring the volume up to the
proper point a considerable guam
tity of partly vitiated lubricant
stays in the system. 1t follows,
therefore, that the charitable own
er will at stated intervals empty
his reservoir Of the oil and refill 1t
with fresh after the receptacle has
been flushed out with kerosene.
By the same token the driver who
wants to practice charity toward
his own mechanism will not forget
to replenish the radiator from time
to time. He will realize that the
pistons must operate under such
temperature conditions as make 1t
.au.erous for them to be a minute
without the requisite amount Of
cooling.
If we could persuade the average
car owner to be charitable all the
irne in his reatment of his car the
average length of life OF these lat

ri"ht or ten. When you see fell

at him. That man has probably
mastered the secret of being char
liable to his own car. Instead OF
laughing at him make up your mind
to practice the doctrine he must
have learned to make a delicate
mechanism such as the modern mo-
tor cars last two or three times its
ordinary span.

Health the Keynote to
Beauty

Beauty means so much to women
power, social triumph, admiration
and love. Beauty implies good
health. Who ever saw a woman rack
ed with pain, struggling with weak
ness or disease, who could be called
beautiful? The woman of today in
this hlgh-strung, nervous age is con-
tinually overriding, with the result
that ills peculiar to her sex develop
which, unchecked, will ruin all
chances for her happiness. The nat
ural restorative for such ailments is
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which for more than forty
years has been recognized as a stan
dard remedy for women's ills, and
has done much to relieve pain and res
tore good health to women.
