son instilled into the blood by i'm.
proper food, and that no II al pos
sibly feel fatigued, however hard he
or she may be worked, unless that poi
son is there. One becomes sleepy, but
fatigue and s~leepiness are quite for
eign to each other. With proper food,
the muscles may be worked indefinite
ly and yet not realize any sense of
fatigue or stiffness.
Horace Fletcher, at the age of sixty
seven, is said to have outclassed the
finest trained college athletes, who be-
came fatigued and whose muscles grew
lame; yet he sensed no fatigue, lame
ness or stiffness though he submitted
himself to a longer and harder strain
than the students against whom he
competed.
This all sounds interesting and is
easy enough Tor anybody TO put to the
test.
A main dish is prepared as follows:
Equal parts of chopped green peas and
sweet corr pressed from the kernels,
chopped raisins and dates mixed with
honey and olive oil, pressed into cups
to mold and then served with a rich
sweet cream sauce, made with cream,
honey, maple strip and nut meal made
from Brazil nuts.
BY this time the novice Is well sat
isfied, for it takes far less raw food
to satisfy the appetite than cooked
food.
These foods are easy to prepare,
easy to obtain. and economical when
compared with the average diet. One
can live anywhere in the world on
such fare, and it Is at least worth
giving a fair trial. A month or two
would show a vast saving of time in
food preparation and the advocates of
the diet promise much more perfect
health.

That one of the principal
leasons that tires wear out be-
fore their guarantee has ex-
pired is c~arelessness In driving
along poorly paved streets or
rough roads. The "shell holes"
which appear in macadam or
asphalt streets especially in the
spring. after the ice has loos-
ened a portion of the hard sur
face. r particularly hard on
tires, for the sharp edges may
cash the fabric and the jar in
eident to the sudden rise and
fall may give rise to bruises
and blisters which injure the in
ner casing.
The habit of driving in ruts
OF along ~car-tracks, Is also very
hard on tires, for the projecting
sides rub against the side of the
tire above the tread and soon
wear this away. making 1t easy
for water to enter and rot the
fabric. In addition. turning cor
ners at a high rate of speed or
skidding OF any kInd-whether
on a wet street. or In starting
or stopping too suddenly-also
grinds the tires and causes
needless wear. Habits of this
kind leave their marks plainly
upon the tires and prevent the
driver from securing the refund

Poor fabrication Generally the

REDUCES POWER OF ENGINE
Unbroken Oil Film Should Always Be
Maintained Between Pistons and
Cylinder Walls - thinning"
Detrimental to Vital Parts.

IL Is not generally realized how much
the useful power of an engine is re-
duced by the friction of its pistons up
on their cylinder walls. Normal pls-
ton friction is altogether the greatest
mechanical loss in the engine, II not

In overcoming their friction, the power
left Owe for moving the car is serl-
ously reduced.
In the case of ears, in the engines of
which new tig~htly-itted pistons and
rings have just been Installed. useful
power Is sometimes SO diminished by
undue piston friction that even slight
grades cannot be negotiated on high"
until these parts become smoothed and
worn In" by their prolonged mutual
rubbing action. Such a condition is
occasional only, but piston friction
may, at any time, become excessive
and engine performance ~unsatisfac-
tory. through poor fabrication and IL
Is, In this connection, that the quality
of oil used Is of great importance,
for II Is "A fact that, without causing
acute damage to the parts, excessive
friction may exist during much of the
time that an engine Is In operation, to
the detriment of its performance and
with extensive resulting wear.
To secur perfect piston fabrication
and thus to minimize friction, 1t is es-
sential that there should always be an
unbroken oil film maintained between
plstons and cylinder walls and, to in
sure this, the oil must not become so
thin as to be squeezed put from be-
tween their opposing surfaces. Detri-
mental thinning of the oil may result
from Its quality or Its grade being such
that 1t loses Its 'body" or thickness at
the higher engine temperatures. or 1t
may be due to unburned fuel passing
the pistons, dissolving the lubricant
upon them and entering the crank-case
below.
The precautions necessary TO be TAX
en are to use only oil of such heat-re-
sisting quality and such initial viscos-
lty as shall not become watery at the
highest allowable engine temperature
and, furthermore, to renew the oil sup
ply before 1t becomes EXCEPTIONALLY
thinned by the addition of unburned

Elimination Of the "detour DOGGY"
the bane Of every touring motorists
life, is seen as the successful outcome
of recent experiments in what may
be termed split crown" construction
of concrete roads.
The new method lies simply I'm lay
Ing paving oyer but half Of the road
bed at one time. keeping the remain
ing half open to traffic as the work
progresses. This method has been
found particularly effective In rough
and billy country where detours are
practically impossible. but urgent ap-
peals from automobile owners who
have experienced the torture of de-
touring by night. may bring ii into
general use.
Cooperation Essential.
Careful cooperation between the
motoring public and the contractor is,
however, essential. by s~tationing
responsible guards at each end of the
open strip, traffic may be n over
the route, first in one direction and
then in the other, without danger.
Great care must be exercised by
the contractor in order TO avoid set
Element of dust particles ON the fresh
ly-lald paving. In order TO insure the
proper curing of the concrete II Is
necessary that he keeps the unim-
proved side Of the road well sprinkled
at all times. Failure to do this would
affect the concrete to an extent that
might cause scaling In later years.

first section of paving. II must be per-
mitted to harden under expert eur
ing supervision for at least 30 days.
At the end of this period 1t may then
be opened to traffic while work Is be-
gun upon the second strip.
Two Principal Virtues.
Although a slight increase In orig
inal cost may be charged against this
method. 1t has two principal virtues
which commend it to the taxpayer
and the motorist alike. Doing away
as ii does with the detour, 1t cuts
cost of motor operation more than
half aside from the big item of de-
creased danger and loss of time and
patience. Secondly, 1t eliminates the
cross-wise cracks which appear In
some h~ard-surface roads through let
ting down of the grading after the
paving Is completed. The joint where
the two sides come together leaves
an almost imperceptible line In the
exact center of the roadway. This is
known as a construction joint and
allows just sufficient play to obvi-
ate the chance that imperfect grading
or poor designing on the part of the
contractor might result In unsightly
cracks.

shows this system in use in Itch

of the Berkshires. where Ii Is re-
ported to be holding up" under the

Wet rubber cuts more easily than
the same substance dry.
New cars should be driven rather
slowly for the first 1000 miles. Never
more than 30 miles per hour.
W spare tires are usually carried
in the car, but occasionally there are
three or more punctures on one trip.
There is frequently danger of short
circuits in the battery because of the
fact that one OF the terminals is locat-
ed neal the metal handle used for
lifting the battery.
An indellble pencil is best for mark.
ing the spot where a leak Is found In
a tube. The indelible mark will re-
main. as the wet rubber helps dissolve
the lead Of the pencil.
Be sure to have the valve stem and
stay bolts tight on the tire when at
tached to the rim of the wheel. 1t will
keep water and dirt from getting into
the casing on wet or dirty roads.
A monthly inspection should be
made Of the brake rods and connect
ing parts. Clean off all the accumu-
lated dirt and rust, so that they will
act as freely and efficiently as pos
sible.
