OF the Earth Earthv.

The lady had just lost her husband
and had gone to summer hotel to
rest. She often dreamed of her hus-
band and she would sometimes get up
in the middle of the night TO see If
he wasn't walking about. Any little
disturbance caused her to be fright
ened. One night mysterious raps
were heard on the wall of the sum
mer hotel.

DRIVING STRAIN is RELIEVED
Stunt Is Simply to Turn Head to One
Side and Watch Road With
Eyes on Surface.

There Is way to remedy that neck
and head strain that comes from the
see-sawing of a car over a rough road.
The stunt is simply to turn the head
to one side and watch the road with
the eyes on an angle to it's surface.
II the head is held up straight the
motion of the car will keep jerking
it back and forth, resulting in sort
Of neck strain that Is very tiresome.
1t is not recommended that the head
be turned to one side constantly, but
only as a relief from strain.

STRANGE Experience.

One day friend wanted to go swim
ming and asked me to keep $50 for
him until he returned. / wrapped it in
handkerchief with $40 of my own
money and pinned it inside my dress.
An hour later I went to the post office
and upon returning. saw something ly-
ing on the sidewalk. picked it up
and discovered 1t to be my handker-
chief containing the $50. The pin had
come unfastened, but 1 had not noticed
it.-Chicago Journal.

MEANS OF STARTING
CAR ON LOW BATTERY
Method of Short circuiting to Re-
duce Resistance.

If one cell of the storage battery is
out of commission, the starter cannot
be operated and the engine may be
difficult to start because the internal
resistance Of the dead cell may be so
great that it does not allow sufficient
current to pass to produce spark at
the plugs when the engine is cranked
by hand. The resistance Of the dead
cell may be overcome and the full cur
rent of the remaining cells made avail
able If, after the cell at fault Is lo-
Gated, wrench or other piece Of
metal is held firmly in contact with
the posts Of the cell.
After the engine starts, the wrench
may be removed because the generator
will supply the current for ignition IL
the engine is kept running fast enough.
Care should be taken to use this ex-
an active cell would be injured by
the short circuit. The dead cell may
be quickly found by using hydro
meter or voltmeter.
If the current is still insufficient to
produce satisfactory spark and the
engine does not start, the resistance
in the circuit to the spark coil may be
further reduced by placing a shunt
around the resistance coil usually
found on the top of spark coils. This
shunt may be of copper wire and need
not be securely connected since 1t is
advisable to remove it, or at least dis
connect one end after the engine
starts.

The usual timer trouble. causing ir-

points which opens and closes the
electric circuit becomes dry at its hing

MANY WOMEN

Through the Use of Lydia E. Pinlham's
Vegetable Compound
Two Interesting Cases

Some female troubles may through
neglect reach stage when an oper-
alton is necessary. But most of the
common ailments are not the surgical
ones; they are not caused by serious
displacements, tumors or growths, al
though the symptoms may appear
the same. When disturbing ailments
first appear, take Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound to re-
lieve the present distress and pre-
vent more serious troubles. Many
letters have been received from wo-
men whohave been restored to health
