Cuts Gasoline Cost
to 10 Cents a Gallon

James A. May of 4617 H ST., Sioux
Falls, s. D., has perfected an amazJ
ing new device that is enabling car
owners to cut their gasoline bills in
half by doubling their mileage from
gasoline used. Many owners have
made over 40 miles on a gallon. It
also removes carbon, increases motor
power and pep, prevents spark plug
trouble and overheating. Anyone can
install it in five minutes. Mr.. May
wants agents, and is offering to send
one free to one auto owner in each
locality. Write him today. 4

WHY AND WHEREFORE
OF WHAT is WHAT

Qucstion-Why does brown sugar
and milk boiled together for frost
ing and candy always curdle?
Answer-In the darker brown su-
. gals there remains enough of the
tormic acid contained in the mo
lasses to curdlc milk when the two
are heated together and there is 4
larger proportion of sugar to small
amount of milk. This curdling of
ten disappears with vigorous beat
ing, but a very small amount Of
baking soda added will neutralize
the acidity, and the milk will not
curdle.
Q.-Is it all right to fold table
napkins in triangular form for the
dinner tabic2
A-The dinner napkin is prefer
ably folded in a square, but it is
permissible to fold it in an oblong.
1t should further be folded in such
a manner that it will be easy for
the guest to open half way on his
or her knees.
Q.-Does the guest push in her
chair on rising from the table!
A.-No, the guest never pushes
in her chair on rising from the
table. She acts us though the chair
came within the visual range of her
blind spot, This appears to violate
the rule of consideration for the
waitress, vet il is quite an umchang
able convention.
