great happiness.
 Jack has told me you have been quite ill. l am very sorry, and l am writing this letter so you will not think 1 am quite savage in not asking about your health before, but I have been so concerned over my daughter and so busy trying to minister to her mind, as well as to her body, that l have thought Of little else.
 Jack has told me you met Karl Whitney at your house while Leslie was there. Perhaps you will be in- terested to know that he has gone abroad to London, where my second daughter. Alice, Is staying with the Stokleys. You, l am sure, will re- member Alice as a typical American girl. The letters she writes me are most diverting, the last one par ticularly so, Ordinarily Leslie would be much interested, and pleased with them, but the last one which I re- ceived from Alice did not awaken a smile from her. A
 Jack and have come to the deci- sion today that tomorrow I shall go and find q healthy young baby and bring it to Leslie If she shows the slightest inclination for it. Jack will adopt it. Dr. Samson seems to think this is the only thing that will do her any good. He says if something is not done very soon to awaken her mind to things about her. he fears for her life, if not her sanity. You can see, of course. we are very much worried. T. L
 will write you immediately after Leslie has seen the baby and let you know how she takes it.
 Most sincerely yours,

Rural Doctors Need
For Maintenance Given

st. Louis Mo-. Nov. Shy A. P.)
Reasonable living conditions" are
necessary to restore permanently
physicians and surgeons to rural
communities, DIR. II. L. Colwell of
Chicago, today told the convention of
the American Country Life associa-
ton, in session here. DR.. Colwell Is
secretary of the Council on Medical
Education and Hospitals of the
American Medical association.
1.-THE objectional features Of coun-
try practice" said DIR. Colwell, ''are
loss of well-to- patients, long
drives, bad roads, hard work, loss of
income. increased expenses, poorer
facilities for practice, no hospitals,
no libraries, no laboratories, few
churches, poorer schools and loss Of
time or opportunity for professional
development.
"What wonder, therefore, that the
country doctor after struggling in
vai-l against the rising tide of diff
ficulties finally decides to follow his
disappearing clientele TO the city. 1t
is quite clear also why the young
physician, after graduating from
medical school,. usually in debt for
his medical training, prefers to, or
from necessity must, remain in the
city rather than go to the country.
Census figures show that of the
total of physicians IN the United
States GO per cent are in cities of
5000 or greater population, leaving
only 81 per cent, in cities or towns
of less than 5000. In other words in
cities of 5000 or abovethere is one
physician for every Sal people.
ITO permanently restore doctors
for rural communities requires res
toration of reasonable living condi-
tions in those Districts

Dishes, light as air, that can be

tor is started.
Carhuretor
Due to the low gravity gasoline
now being used. 1t is very essen
tial. more especially in cold weather,
to get as much heat as possible to the
mixture to properly vaporize the gaso-
line to prevent condensation. 1t will
assist greatly in approximating the
summer temperature Of the motor If
radiator and hood covers are used as
instructed above.
In starting the motor, make sure
that the choke is pulled all the way
out until the motor starts, then push
it in Slightly until the motor warns
up but do not have it even partly out
longer than is necessary. Racing a
cold motor will not warm it up; retard
the spark and let the engine idle slow
ly.
Iubricating System
Oil should be drained more frequent
ly from the motor in winter than in
summer. Cold temperature aggravates
the dilution of the oil by raw fuel, es-
pecfally when the choke is kept closed
too long. 1t is not advisable to drive
car until after the motor has been
over dI ii SLOW rate ol Spe6u
long enough to give the oil chance
to get well into all of the working
parts.
Condensation in the cylinders due to
cold weather often results in the mix
ing of the gasoline with the oil. We
recommend under average conditions,
the oil be drained approximately every
1000 miles in order to guard against
Of hn hoa
cylinder walls. However it is advisa-
BILE to change the Oil every month dur
ing winter driving regardless of when
fresh oil was last added. The oil pan
should he removed and washed out
with kerosene occasionally in order to
prevent any accumulation of sediment
which might have a detrimental effect
upon the bearings.
Storage Battery
In cold weather the capacity and the
voltage of battery are less than they
are at normal temperature. Likewise.
it is much more difficult to crank an
engine because of the effects of cold
temperatures on the fabrication and al
so requires more cranking because of
the incomplete carburiZatiOn of the
fuel when the motor is cold.
Because of the heavier drain on the

How To Protect i,
Your Motor Car
In Cold Weather

sSThe average car owner is seldom
IN a position to know just what must
he done to his car in the winter to APP
nroach as nearly as possible conditions
az they exist in warm weather. For
This reason" says Edgar Marden of
the Waterville Motor Co., local Stude-
baker dealer. 1.-THE following sugges-
lions should be carefully observed by
all automobile owners"
Cooling system
Anti.Freeze Solution-Before any
ant,.freeze solution is used. the water
circulating system should be inspected
for leaks, and repairs made, If neces-
cary. It is usually a good plan to re-
MACE hose connections 0t this time of
the year. DO not use arti-freeze COM
mounds containing calcium chloride or
other similar compounds. as they cor
rode the inside of the radiator.
The only satisfactory solution of
which we know is alcohol and water.
Denatured alcohol is preferred, wood
alcohol can be used. Wood alcohol
often contains free acetic acid and
should never be used unless it is
known to be free from acid. IF acid
ia present, damage to the radiator will
result.
The following table shows different
nroportioned mixtures with tempera-
lures at which the solution will begin

Glycerine is sometimes used with
alcohol to keep the alcohol evap-
grated to minimum. However.
1t is rather expensive and also
has a tendency 40 damage the rub
Der hose connections. If glycerine is
used mix the alcohol and glycerine in
equal proportions and use this mixture
In the same percentage as alcohol in
the above table.
II must be remembered that it is
necessary to add alcohol from time to
time to replace what is lost due to
evaporation. Whenever necessary to
fill the radiator, to replace loss by
evaporation, use a mixture of 40 water
and 60 alcohol.
During the winter months the fan
belt can he loosened, which will re-
duce the flow of air through the ra-
diator and thereby allow motor to run
warmer than It otherwise would.
Radiator and Hood Covers
II will assist greatly in approx
mating the summer temperature of the
motor If radiator and hood covers are
used. With radiator cover that is
adjustable, large part of the radiator
can be covered. allowing the motor to
readily warm up and then adjusted to
suitable opening to keep the motor
running warm but still not allowing it
to overhead. A hood cover will keep
heat under the hood. assisting in keep
ing motor warm while running and al
so keeping the motor from cooling off
rapidly when stopped, thereby making
