Another German Prodigy.

Germany has another memory prod
ICY in a twenty-one-year-old girl, who
has mastered the art Of brain control
over muscle most completely. She
sings a German song, writes an Eng
fish sentence with her right hand and
a French sentence with her left hand
at the same time, Also writes a sen
tence in one language backwards, and
another in a different language In the
regular way. She can calculate with
one hand and write dictation backwards
with the other. She can also begin
a sentence at both ends and complete
it in the middle, using both hands. She
does several other things which really
seem beyond the limit of credulity.-

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we feel
secure in accepting its truth now
The following experience of an ELS
worth Falls man is confirmed after
many years.
C. w. Smith, prop. of blacksmith
shop, State St., Ellsworth Falls, Ne,
says: II have considerable lifting at
the blacksmith trade and it got my
back in pretty bad shape. There
was a steady, dull pain across my kid
neys and l felt miserable ell through
the day. My kidneys didn't act
regularly. 1 got Doan's Kidney Pills
and after using them, the trouble
disappeared. OF late, l have been
feeling better in every way Doan's
toned up my system generally
The above statement was given
December 4, 1916, and on october 6,
1920, Mr.. Smith said THE cure
Doan's Kidney Pills made for me has
been a permanent one. l am pleased
to endorse Doan's again."

DiNFER IN VIEWS OF LIFE
Orientsis Look at Existence In Man.
ner Radically Different From
the Westerners.

We feel that the things others desire
from life must be the same that we
desire. Yet, in fact, the races of Asia
and Africa-beyond the primitive
belly-need - make quite different
claims on life from ours. Most of
us desire, among other things and
above them, comfort and security; but
Asia and Africa take little account Of
comfort and still less Of security.
They want the joy of living and
chance to do their own living for
themselves; q life not so much pro-
tected, but with color and excitement
in it, with the zest of creation and
accomplishment in it-a life in which
heavy-handed man would have
chance, and anybody could come to
the top. The life of the Arabian
Nights-the real Nights-is still the
ideal Of the Moslem East. For ORR
entails those stories are not tales from
faery, but such reckonings with the
wonders of the world and Of science
as Mr.. Wells used to give us before
he became didactic. Or, to put the
same point little differently, the
Orientals today are like our ances-
tors in the age Of Chaucer, with an
unknown world around them, in which
anything may any time happen-a
world full of adventure and romance

OF the country one summer resting and
rambling for my health and a good
time.
Il saw a mountain man, with hook
and line, make his way to the creek
bank and commence to fish. With my
glasses ! could see that he had baited
his hook with q tiny frog. For some
time he ished, throwing the hook out,
but he got no bite. firing Of this, he
stuck his pole In the bank, picked up a
small rifle and went to shooting at tar
gets In the woods. Fearing a stray
shot, l came out Of hiding and ac-
costed him. While we talked we heard
a commotion near the fishing place.
On looking that way we saw that the
froggie had climbed up the line and
was sitting on the end of the pole sing
ing, and brook trout were jumping out
OF the water trying to get him.

said the fisherman, and he ran back
and commenced to shoot the fish as
they rose from the water. Late that
afternoon, when l saw him again, he

GREASE RUSTY CAR SPRINGS
Jack Up Chassis and Apply Lubricant
While Weight Is Of-Kerosene
Cuts Rust.

Positive fabrication of springs may
be secured without the purchase of adj
ditional accessories-jack up the
chassis and apply lubricant while the
springs are thus relieved of their
weight. In this condition the spring
leaves should open Slightly in a fan
shape. 1t may be necessary to spread
the leaves a trife with a screwdriver.
knife, or any thin strip of metal. A few
minutes work with a squirt gun, flied
with half kerosene n motor oil, will
cut the rust and leave a film Of lubri-
cant between the leaves.
Sometimes a spring Is rusted to the
extent that 1t becomes frozen in q
rigid mass. The only remedy is to take
1t apart, wash each leaf with kerosene
and replace, inserting a heavy piece OF
wrapping paper thoroughly saturated
with a good grade of graphite grease
between each leaf.

Birds Working Hours.

Some birds work almost all day in
the ummer. They clear the crops Of
insects.
The thrush gets up at half-past two
every morning. He falls to work at
once, and does not stop until half-past
nine at night-a clear 10 hours. Dur
ing that time he feeds his young 206
times.
The blackbird starts work at the
same hour as the thrush, but leaves off
earlier. His whistle blows a, half
past seven, and during his 17-hour day
he sets about 100 meals before his
family.
The titmouse is up at three in the
morning, and his stopping time Is nine
at night. A fast worker, he is said to
feed his young AIT times a day.

RETARDED SPARK Is
INJURIOUS TO AUTO
0verheateu Condition Harmful to
PiStons, Cylinders and Other
Parts of Engine.

(By William H.. Stewart, Jr, President
Stewart Automobile School.)
You have all seen the fellow who
runs his "steaming." clanking car
around town. 1t looks for all the world
like a baby locomotive, but perhaps he
does not know hat this overheated
condition injuries the pistons, cyiin-
ders, bearings and all internal psvts
Of the engine. Shortly he learns this
for himself-after he has paid a big
repair bill for Information that could
have been obtained from any instruc-
ton book.
If you run the car with the spark
retarded, the engine will overhead and
carbonize. A similar effect is caused
by a crippled fan or an impeded water
flow. If your engine o~verheats 1t Is
advisable to stop Instantly and find the
trouble. In an emergency a very wise
thing to do Is to pour an abundance
Of oil into the crank case. Your ex-
haust will smoke, but the additional
oil will offer protection to the inside Of
the engine until relief is at hand.
Clean the belt occasionally and rid
1t Of the oil and gummy matter. Hhch
up your garden hose and send its spray
through the openings in the radiator,
which probably Is clogged with mud.
Do this from the engine side of the
radiator; otherwise you may short cir
cult the electric system. AS a further
precaution see that all hose connec-
lions are good and not partially closed
on the inside, thereby retarding the
water flow. This closing, though very
slight, will retard radiation and cause
trouhlq
