I You Need q Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
Il is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, .
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 50 large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutraGzes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Elimination Of the "detour bogey,"
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 in lay
ing paving over 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 hilly country where detours are
practically impossible. but urgent ap-
peals from automobile owners who
lave experienced the torture of de-
touring by night, may bring it into
general use.
Cooperation Essential.
Careful cooperation between the
motoring public and the contractor is,
however. essential. BY stationing
responsible guards at each end Of the
open strip, traffic may be sent 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
tlement of dust particles on the fresh
ly-laid paving In order to insure the
proper curing of the concrete 1t is
necessary that he keeps the unim
proved side of the road well sprinklet
at all times. Failure to do this would
affect the concrete to an extent tha
might cause scaling" in later years.

QUALITY OF OIL
IS IMPORTANT
Poor fabrication Generally the
Cause of Excessive Piston
Friction.
REDUCES power OF ENGINE
unbroken Oil Film Should Always Be
Maintained Between Pstons and
Cylinder Walls - "Thinning"
Detrimental to Vital Parts.

1t 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 pis-
ton friction is altogether the greatest
mechanical loss in the engine, ii not,
in the whole car and, If it becomes alb
normal In amount, car performance
suffers in marked degree. The fuel
may do its full work upon the pistons,
but If this force is too largely wasted
in overcoming their friction, the power
left over for moving the car Is seri-
Ously reduced.
In the case of cars, in the engines of
which new tightly-titted 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 IA condition is
| occasional only, but piston friction
may, at any time, become excessive
and engine performance unsatlstac-
| tory, through poor fabrication and it
Is. In this connection, that the quality
of oil used is of great Importance,
for it is 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 secure perfect piston fabrication
and thus to minimize friction, it is es
sential that there should always be an
unbroken oil film maintained between
pistons and cylinder walls and, to in
sure this, the oil must not become sc
thin as to be squeezed out from be
tween their opposing surfaces. Detri
mental thinning of the oil may result
from it's quality or its grade being such
that 1t loses its "body" or thickness al
the higher engine temperatures. or II
may be due to unburned fuel passing
the pistons, dissolving the lubricant
upon them and entering the crank-cast
below.
The precautions necessary TO be TAX
en- are to use only oil Of such heat-re
sisting quality and such initial viscos
ity as shall not become watery at thu
highest allowable engine temperature
and, furthermore, to renew the oil sup
ply before it becomes objectionabl,
thinned by the addition of unburne'
gasoline componenrs.

TIP OFFERED TO DENTISTS

A new idea for dentists.

A new idea for dentists.
If you've never had IL tooth pulled

one certain friend of II certain dem
tist in this city, having read a
delicious dissertation on the pulling
of teeth via the novocaine method,
happened upon the end of the story,
in which the dentist said: That 5

BY way of suggestion to the local
dentist his friend wrote: by intro

first section Of paving, 1t must be per-
mitted to harden under expert eur
ing" supervision for at least 80 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 slight increase in orig
inal cost may be charged against this
method, it has two principal virtues
which commend 1t to the taxpayer
and the motorist alike. Doing away
as 1t does with the detour, it cuts
cost of motor operation more than
half aside from the big item of de-
creased danger and loss of time and
patience. Secondly, it eliminates the
cross-wise cracks which appear in
some hard-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 construction joint and
| allows just sufficient play" to obvi
ate the chance that imperfect grading
or poor designing on the part of thf
contractor might result in unsightly
cracks.

shows this system in use in Litch

of the Berkshres, where it is re
ported to be holding up" under thu

AUTOMOBILE

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 80 miles per hour.
Two 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 near the metal handle used for
lifting the battery.
An indelible pencil Is best for mark
ing the spot where leak is found in
tube. Tie indelible mark will re-
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.
Many accidents have occurred to

You Auto Know

That one of the principal
reasons that tires wear out be-
fore their guarantee has eX-
pired is carelessneSs 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 portion of the hard sur
face, are particularly hard on
tires. for the sharp edges may
cash the fabric and the jar in
cident to the sudden rise and
fall may give rise to bruises
and blisters which injure the i'm
ner casing.
The habit of driving in ruts
or 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 it 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 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
to which he is entitled il the
guaranteed mileage is not forth
coming.

1t 10 amusing the manner In which
the Democrats wear the shoes that
fit the feet. This has been most mo-
ticeable since Mr. Mondsll's speech in
Sheridan. In which he paid his com
pliments to '~insineere politicians"-
those who seek Endorsement Of one
political party and then play on the
sentiment Of electors in the opposition
party through support given legisla-
ton when such help 10 not needed
proving faithleas to the party which
honored them.
Mr.. Mondell mentioned NO names,
but thought that any man who sought
the support OF one political party.
and then flopped to support Of the
other. showed very little principle, in
fact just about a. much principle as
would be shown by the employe who
was not faithful to the man or firm
giving him employment, thus sacri-
ficing his own people by lending aid
to a stronger and more powerful COM
petitOr.
The Democratic press Of the entire
state Immediately charged that Mr..
Mondell had branded Mr.. Kendrfck
as a man without principle" II Mr..
Mondell referred to Mr.. Kendrick. he
did not SO state, but 1t is possible
that he may have had him in mind.
In apologizing for Mr.. Kend-
riek's action in being faitbless to
their party. the Democratic press are
giving publicity to an article by Wal
ter Lippmann, appearing in Golfers
Weekly, seeking to excuse Democrats
who supported Republican measures
in congress-. for the political help 1t
may give him at home most ap-
propriate argument at this time as
there are a number Of Democratic
congressman trying to slip back into
congress partly astride the elephant:
and ready to slip off Immediately in
event of an election.
A political party would last Just
about as long as a business firm
would. where its employees were not
true to its standards. A successful
business firm has the loyal and unit
ed support of its employees and the
traitors are weeded out. Those who
have lent military support to our ma
tion know full we'll what a traitor is
one who refuses to support his
general.
Senator Kendrick Is now support
ing Republican measures which have
always been denounced by his party,
and he is excused In 1t because he Is
a candidate for reelection. Should
he be returned to congress for six
more years. he would freeze up like
a mute. when 1t came to supporting
Republican ideals, should there be
any chance for his minority party
to triumph on the issue. He did it
in the past. when his party was in
power, and threw In with Democratic
leaders to kill everything Republic
