WE BUILT UP OUR CHILDREN
WONDERFULLY WITH HYPO-COD
It Stopped Their Cough, Built
Them Up and They
Look Fine.
A BLESSING TO
LITTLE FOLKS

MY three children. aged S, and 8
years. were down with the whooping
cough and they coughed for months.
l felt awfully worried for all the old
time remedies failed to stop the cough,
and they grew weaker and wOrse-iook-
Ing every day. We even made tea
out Of barks and leaves, but still they
cOughed. We Mt first thought the
cough would wear away. but as weeks
and weeks went by we became
alarmed. Every fresh cold aggravated
it. We finally heard about Earle's
Hypo-Cod and got 1t at the drug store.
Results were wonderful. 1t stopped
the cough in no time. and you could
see 1t building them up day by day.
Their appetities came back fine and
then they began sleeping good. Then
they wanted to play and romp and now
you can see yourself what happy,
healthy children they are. They look
50 much better. If we had only known
about Earle's Hypo-Cod before we did
we could have saved the children a lot

other mothers all the time. 1t proved
a blessing in our home.'
Note These same children were
given Hypo-Cod as fall tonic early
last winter. They went through, the
whole winter long without cold or
a cough. Thousands of mothers, once
they learn about Hypo-Cod, built up
their family just as regular as the sea-
sons roll around and ward off all kinds
of sickness with it. Children love to
take this splendid tonic. and by read
Ing the formula on bottle you will see

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for q
sample b,ttle. When writing be sure and

-STORAGE0fCAR
DURING WINTER
Practical Suggestions to Protect
Utility and Add to Life Of
an Automobile.
DRAIN RADIATOR and MOTOR
Keep Engine Going Long Enough to
Evaporate Every Drop Of Water to
Prevent Freezing and Possibly
Bursting Jackets.

When it is found necessary to store
your car during the winter months, the
water should be thoroughly drained
from the radiator and motor, after
which the engine should be run under
its own power until it becomes thor
oughly heated. Do not run the motor
too fast. but keep it going long enough
to evapOrate every particle Of water
that may be "pocketed" to prevent the
water freezing and possibly bursting
the water jackets.
Put Tires in Dark Room.
1t is desirable to remove the tires
and place them in q dark room where
they are not,subjected to extreme tenn
perature changes. The castings should
be thoroughly cleaned to remove all
oil which may have adhered to them.
After removing the tires, thoroughly
clean the inside Of the wheel rims and
apply coat of enamel to prevent rust.
which is very injurious to the fabric
of the tire.
If the tires are not removed. jack
up the car so that the wheels clear the
floor at least two inches, and let the
air out Of the tubes.
Under no circumstances should the
car be stored in q barn or other build
ing in which horses or cattle are kept
at the same time. The ammonia fumes
given off will quickly discolor the paint
and enamel. Select a building having
good roof. and preferably wooden
Goor raised several inches from the
ground. All bright metal parts should
be thoroughly coated with slab Oil,
vaseline, cosmic or gun grease to pre-
vent rusting.
Care of Motor.
Remove the spark plugs and pour
into each cylinder about two table
spOOnfuls Of mixture of equal parts
of lard and kerosene oil. Then turn
the motor over slowly by hand several
times until the cylinder walls and pis-
tons are thoroughly covered with the
oily compound.
To clean the cloth upholstery on
sedan bodies, use warm water and
white soap only. Gasoline has ten
dency to spread the grease and le2Ie
discolored spot. After cleaning,
wipe dry with a clean cloth.
The top of the car should be thor
oughly cleaned and all dust brushed
cut. Never attempt to clean the top
or curtains with gasoline or kerosene
Use good brush or broom.
If possible the top should be kept
open, which will keep it well stretched
and smooth. If this cannot be done.
use care in folding it-see that thu.
folds are straight and that none o.
the fabric is pinched between the bows
or supports.
Do not fold the top until it is thor
oughly dry, because any moisture re-
manning in the fabric will likely cause
mildew, resulting in an unsightly and
leaky top.
Before storing the car the engine
should be run long enough to thorough
1y charge the storage battery. The
tydrometer should show that the grav-
ity of the electrolyte in each cell is up
to 1880.

THINGS TO AVOID

Don't overload your tires. A
tire will give out sooner from
overload than from almost any
other cause.
Don't >underinflate.r Underin-
flation and overlooking account
for fully 80 per cent Of all tire
trouble.
Don't neglect small cuts. These
will often extend further than
you think. Dirt and water gets
in, the fabric rots, and a blowout
follows. Look over your tires
from time to time and repair
small cuts.
Don't run in ruts, car tracks
or against curbing. The side
walls of tire are much thinner
than the tread and will not
stand this kind of usage.
Don't start or stop suddenly or
skid around corners. The strain
thus set up in the tires is terrific.
Don't run Oh a fiat tire. Bet
ter run on the rim if only for a
short distance.

It gets it's name from are famous church at La Palma, built by the priests. The most striking feature of the edifice, is mammoth cross which was inlaid at one time with pure gold.

ALASKA STILL LURES THE GOLD
 SEEKERS.

"The great undeveloped empire of the future" is the name given 60 Alaska by Colonel Frederick Mears, wl.o, as chief of the, Alaskan Engi neering Commission, is in charge of the construction of a government rail- road connecting the open harbors with the navigable waters of the interior.
 It is the popular belief that Alaska's bonanza days are over, and that it is no longer the lure of the gold seeker, but Cononel Mears contradicts- this idea. He says that the immensely rich gold deposits are as yet by no means exhausted, although the coun- try's mineral resources cannot be worked satisfactorily until better and cheaper transportation has been pro- vided. This is the obpect of the rail road which Colonel Mears is construct ing.
 Incidentally the colonel calls atten- tion to the fact that Alaska consti- tutes practically one fifth of the area of continental United States, and corrects the erroneous impression that it is a typically arctic province. The climate of the coastal section Is warmer than that of Scotland, and in the inland regions it is similar to AL berta and Manitoba. In Fairbanks, the southern terminus of the govern ment railroad, the same clothing is worn in the summer as is worn in Oregon or Maine.
 Colonel Mears believes that Alaska ultimately will be capable of support ing a very large population. In addi' tion to it's gold, there are many other sources of wealth. The fisheries alone produce more than fifty million dollars annually, and besides there are rich deposits of copper, silver, plat mum, tin, lead, coal, and petroleum So far these deposits have yielded i'm mense returns, despite the adverse conditions under which they have beer exploited; and operations on a mucf larger scale will begin as soon as the new railroad is completed.

'' defy the conven- tons and get relief the best way he ean." .., T can understand just how 1t has worried you," said the hotelkeeper. The fact that you couldn't reach around and claw the itching place with your fingers kept the matter -tresh fin your memory and got on your nerves. The pursuit of the unattain- able always Is more interesting to us than the easier work close to hand. You had your whole person to scratch. and might have bought currycomb tor quarter, and had good time, but you couldn't be happy until you had reached the one inaccessible spot.
 "A while ago I imagined I had Aeart disease, and went and saw the doctor. He knows I have money in the bank and am considered good pay, 50 he confirmed my worst fears, and made up his mind to have me for his star patient, until one of us petered sut. He threw an awful scare into me, Q that went home sweating ice cold sircus lemonade.
 -He gave me some medicines and ot of instructions. Among them was Sne to the effect that when I went to sed I should always sleep on my right dde. He cautioned me over and over again against laying on my left side. and left the impression that if dis sbeyed him, I'd wake up some morn ug to find myself a candidate for loral horseshoe.
 ''That matter looked easy at the fine, and I assured the doctor I'd fol- ow his bylaws to the letter. When !went to bed that night, stretched cut on my right side. and ins ten min ates was just suffering to, roll over.
 don't believe I ever had such a. aankering for anything. It seemed to xe the height of human happiness would lie in sleeping on ones left side. l followed instructions for two nights, and then decided that life wasn't worth such sacrifices, and rolled over and slept on my left side, and nothing happened. I was feeling better than 1sual next morning when got up.
 ''Ofs course this experience lessened ny confidence in the doctors instruc- Hons, and concluded that if was going to sidestep the instructions I might as we'll sidestep the medicines, too, for they tasted like low life in a Chinese alley, and I threw the whole aot out of the window. Thus the saw bones lost his most promising patient because he handed out rule that wasn't strictly necessary.
 Speaking of the unattainable, do you know what's the matter with Silas Furbelow? He has everything man could ask, stranger in the town would say. He has beautiful home and a wife who would be considered a success anywhere, and he has festoons of money where 1t will do the most good.
 @'Yet he has secret sorrow. think he's the most melancholy man ever saw, and his trouble Is that he can't raise a good stand of whiskers Nowadays, when whiskers are consid' cred an infirmity, 1t seems strange that any man should grieve over such . matter.
 "He sends all over the United States for hair growers and half the time his face Is blistered or swollen and still the whiskers won't grow or rhim. If some miracle happened, ant he woke up some morning to find hi: eountenance all covered with whiskers he'd probably have them shaved of within a week; but because they won grow, he won't be happy till he get fhem."
