TOO VALUABLE TO DISCARD
Why Pretty Young Artist Has Decided
to Celebrate Her Birthday for
Years to Come.

II had a birthday recently" said the
pretty young Artist to the Business
Woman, when they met for luncheon.
"And the results were most pleasing"
Gracious" said the Business Wom-
an, II thought you told me last year
It was positively your last; mine come
and go, and I've gotten to that stage
where really am in ignorance of the
date"
II had planned to let November 20
pass and not even think of it. But
suddenly realized l needed so many
things, like handkerchiefs. hose,
gloves, etc.-things that somehow go
with birthdays. l had an inspiration
lovely, practical one. I'm the young
est of big family-so typed on note
paper subtle reminder, my name, No
vember 20, 1897, and my present ad-
dress-you see, nothing but sugges-
toni 1t worked beautifully-ever
day for week I've been getting some
thing. I've decided it's silly to give
up birthdays-expect to keep mine

SOME PEOPLE
PREFER TABLETS
Pepto- Mangan Is Sold in Liquid
and TabIets-the Same
incidentally.

The famous blood builder, Guides
Pepto-Mangan, can be had in tablet
form, as well as in liquid Some people
prefer Pepto-Mangan tablets to the
liquid. They are put up in conven-
lent package. There are people who
take the liquid Pepto-Mangan at home
morning and night, and take the tab
lets at noon time.
incidentally the liquid and the tab
let form of Guides pto-Mangan are
the same. Any druggist can supply
this well-known blood builder. Ply
sicians have prescribed Guides Pepto-
Mangan for years. 1t restores the
blood to it's normal healthy state by
increasing the number of red cells.
Men, women and children who are
run down, weak, pale and sickly, re-
gain normal health by helping the
blood to get back its strength. Look
for the name "Gude's Pepto-M angan"

pattern for streamlining the chassis
and body the shape assumed by rain
drops falling through the air. A, rain
drop is forced into perfect stream
lined form in the air resistance. The
motor and transmission form unit
that is mounted to swing about the
rear axle, thus doing away with the
propeller shaft and universal joints,
and forming a very compact power
plant. The motor, which is of the ~"
type, has six cylinders and is arranged
in pairs. 1t is of the type used by An
zani, having one pair Of cylinders
vertical in the center OF the ~" The
radiator is behind the motor, giving
perfect cooling by means OF a fan.
The back of the auto resembles an air
ship car and has seat for the chauf-
feur in the bow. The chassis Is made
of a wide frame of pressed steel,
shaped into a boat, and it is closed in
and streamlined on the bottom. This
car, which is only ten-horsepower af-
fair, can, because of the slight resist
ance, make rs miles an hour. The
whole construction is fine example of
putting the cart before the horse"

fered to the motoring public, some of
them embodying gradual feed.
achieved by means of CONSTRUCTED pas
sages that allow the oil to leak out
only by degrees. Others employ what
Is known as wick feed, in which the
oil is carried up in wick and fed
gradually to the part needing lubfca-
ton. For such places as the shackle
bolts of the springs, the cross shafts
of the brakes, the universal joints, in
some types this makes satisfactory
arrangement.
Use Of Graphite.
1t has always been the custom to
Intricate universal joints by means of
grease or graphite, because there is
great difficulty in keeping oil in the
joint This part moves with great
rapidity when the mechanism is
in operation and needs the most effec-
tive fabrication. Recently 1t has been
found possible to Intricate the uni
versals by means of oil fed through
wicks. In many cases this change
Wouiu nave 10 Ue the result Oh altered
design, which the manufacturer Is
loath to do because of the cost.
Wick feed has the double advantage
of being economical as well as eff
cient. In operation the oil travels up
the wick by capillary attraction. just
as 1t does up lamp wick, and is dis
charged upon the surface requiring
fabrication. The oil spreads itself all
over the whole surface, and really this
method is the next best thing to hav-
ing the parts run in oil. The wick oil
cup does not require frequent filling
and another advantage of the system
is that dirt or foreign matter, even If
it is present In the OIL, cannot make
its way to the bearing surface.

Smack That Child.

A mother was reproving her little
six-year-old girl for being naughty.
IF you are so tiresome and dis
agreeable" she said, you will not be
loved, and when you grow up your
friends will be few"
The child replied at once:
Il shall not want any friends, for

"Oh. no." replied mother, you will
not get married if you are disagree
able, for gentlemen are particular"
After short pause, the little girl
remarked:

CREASE USED IN
SEVERE WEATHER
Has Distinct Drawbacks as
Lubricant for Automobile
During Winter Season.
GEARS OPERATE ENTIRELY DRY
When Used In Cups II Has charac-
teristic Of Getting So Hard THAI
Little fabrication Gets to
Bearing Surface.

For several years past no wise mo-
tOrist has used grease as lubricant
Tor his transmission. yet many car
owners who ought to know better en-
plOy this heavier lubricant. Grease
cannot flow to the bearing surfaces
and in the transmission the gears cut
a clean path through the grease when
it Is cold and run practically unlubri-
Gated thereafter. In addition, grease
has the unfortunate characteristic of
carrying dirt and foreign matter that
1t may pick up. 1t has distinct draw
backs as lubricant in any location,
especially In cold weather, when it
ought never to be used. In winter
the grease is almost certain to be-
come packed against the walls of any
rase In which it is used, while the
gears operate entirely dry.
When grease is used In cups, it has
the characteristic of getting hard, SO
that the cup cannot be turned down
properly, and little fabrication gets to
The bearing surface for which it is in
tended.
On practically all cars of any but
the most recent vintage grease cups
are fitted at various locations. If the
owner desires to substitute oil as
lubricant for the grease he has prac-
tically to replenish the cups every day.
In many cases this would be worth
the increased labor.
Wick Feed Devices.
ON the other hand, it may be posi-
ole to replace the grease cups with
large oil cups having gradual feed.
some Of the newer car models have
been designed with central lubricating
points and with wick oiling devices,
which require replenishment only once
or twice season. At any rate the
substitution Of oil for grease for al
most any fabrication service will be
benefit to the parts affected.
Naturally different parts of the me-
.hanism, require different lubricants,
that is to say. different grades Of oil.
For the gears, the transmission. differ
initial and rear axle, heavy oil will
be the most satisfactory lubricant.

Progress of Medical Science.

much desired end is the long-sought

favorable character.

The Flapper Goes to Court.

Not in the effete East, not in the
breezy West, but in old fashioned Ar
l:ansas, the fapper has called for a
showdown. She has gone to court to
demand her right to dress as she
pleases and to powder her nose if
she will.
The title of the case which every
flapper will rank next to that of
Dred Scott in the judicial history Of
American liberty is Pearl Pugsley
versus the School Board of Knobel,
Clay county. The board issued an
order barring students from classes
if they used rouge or face powder or
wore short skirts or peekaboo waists.
Some of the pupils meekly yielded,
but not so Pearl Of the house of
Pugsley.
Right into the circuit court she
went with a plea for writ or man.
damus againSt the school board.
She backed it with affdavits relating
to her cosmetics and her peekaboos.
She laid down the great broad Amer
lean principle of the freedom of the
powder puff; of the right of W IAN
to adorn herself as she sees fit with
in the limits of respectability.
For three hours, we read, Miss
Pearl Pugsley's case was heard by
Judge Bandy. Three years would
not be too much for so important an
issue. If the decision should be
against the young woman let her
press on to the supreme court of
the United States. That great tribu-
nal has had less important questions
put to it; surely it has heard few
, questions so interesting.
