WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am

toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.

WHAT ST. PAUL REALLY SAID
Englishwoman Declares Men Have De-
liberately Twisted the Words OF
the Great Apostle.

Men translated the Bible-and
twisted st. Paul's remarks about Won
en- to suit their own ideas. That is
divulged by Miss X. Raleigh to the
British Women's Freedom league.
The apostles remarks about women,
she said, were badly twisted in trans
lation, and it could be proved by the
removal of few dots and commas,
that st. Paul did not: Forbid women
to preach; command them to obey
their husbands; insist that forever and
aye, whatever the fashion of the eoun-
try, they should wear hats in church,
say that they should never wear jewel
ry and fine clothes.
'In the sentence, Women obey
YOUR husbands" said Miss Raleigh,

obey is be considerable to.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR
AILING CARBURET0R
Troubles Are Many and Varied,
Some Common.
Little Water in Gasoline viii Cause
Disturbance Because It Is Heavy
and Settles at Bottom-keep
Gas Strainers Clean.

"Carburetor troubles are many and
varied, but there are some which are
common, and, as a rule, the remedy Is
simple in these cases." says William IL.
Stewart ST., president of the Stewart
Automobile school. "a little water in
the gasoline will cause lot of trouble.
Water is heavier than gasoline and
settles at the bottom. Therefore, when
the fuel is low in the tank, any water
is likely to be drawn into the car
buretor.
"The carburetor sometimes acts like
a man when imbibing too much liquid
refreShment. 1t has tendency to be-
come i'll. This indicates that the float
valve mechanism is out of order. A
leaky float will cause the same trouble.
If the valve is to blame this may be
determined by looking at its seat. II
the seat is rough :. should be carefully
ground in with oil and emery by ro-
tating the spindle on its seat. A bent
valve spindle will also cause flooding.
In this case remove the float, place the
spindle on a block of wood and
straighten the bent part with a few
light taps from a lead hammer.
SHOULD the engine balk suddenly
ans the ignition system be found to
be in good shape, the feed pipe is
probably choked. Open the drain valve
of the carburetor and If the fuel does
not continue to emerge in steady
stream after the float chamber is
emptied the trouble is in the pipe.
Unscrew the unions at each end of the
pipe line and run wire through ITS
length. Also make sure that all the
gas strainers are clean, both at the
vacuum tank and carburetor.
1.-THE set-screw on the butterfly valve
sometimes becomes loose. This trouble
is easily found. inasmuch as the engine
will fail to respond to the movement
of the throttle. The supply valve IN
the feed pipe at the tank end should
fit snugly in its seat, otherwise 1t may
lar partly shut and cut off the flow OF
gasoline. A leak in the intake p!ne
will admit too much air in the cylin-
ders and result in a poor mixture,
which cannot be set by changing the
adjustments"

an hour goes $50 feet in ten
seconds?
That it requires about 700 feet
to stop a train going at fifty
miles an hour after the brakes
are first applied?
That many trains, especially
electric trains, travel at the rate
of fifty miles an hour most of
the time in unobstructed terri
tory and on open tracks?
That it doesn't pay to try to
beat the trains at their own

That 100 feet away from the
