DangerousCough
How to End it

To quickly end dangerous cough
there is very simple treatment which
gives almost instant relief and often
breaks the cough entirely in "a hours.
Thistreatmenti is based on the famous
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You take just one teaspoonful and hold
it in your throat for IS or 20 seconds
before swallowing it. The prescription
has double action. 1t not only soothes
and heals soreness and irritation, but
also loosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the real cas-
of the coughing. Co the worst coug..
usually disappears quickly.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, SPAS
modic Group, etc. Fine for children, too
no harmful drugs. Very economical,
as the dose is only one teaspoonful. AT
all good druggists. Ask for

By MARGARET MORRISON

rHHE Year-In club was made up of
Il a dozen men who had known each
other for lifetime. Every thirty-irst
Of December, they gathered at din
ner, to wait until twelve o'clock struck
and another January first began.
Among them were the most successful
merchant in the city, doctor with an
international reputation, famous
writer, politician who was spoken
Of among the knowing as .'presiden-
tial TIMBER" and banker.
On one occasion over their cigars
when, as was their custom, they turned
to Renaissance, the question came up
of what each considered the turning
point in his career.
The millionaire merchant began:
''The turning point in my career" he
said, 81 could name for you to the
year and the day and the hour. 1t was
the moment when l took for my trade
mark the word Quality" After a
while, no factory ever tried to offer
me inferior goods at a reduced cost,
no salesman of mine ever was fooled
with seconds at half-price. 1t meant
the habit of attending to details"
I'm fact" the politician across the
table took up the discussion generate
zations-to make generalization my
self-are really worthless It's only
details that count at all in last AN
alysis. That's true in politics. We
get to think that the big men, So
called, the peoples representatives,
are all that count; but let these repre-
sentatives forget for a moment that
they only represent and go counter to
the people, and see what happens. The
first tue l was. asked to run for gov
ernor, | said I'd accept If could have
a voice in my own platform. So went
through the state and talked with the
rank and file, the butcher, the baker,
the garage man and his wife; until /
found out what he and she wanted. 1t
took palms. but / had gained guidance
for two terms of Office"
He paused, and then, as twelve be-
gan to strike, they all got to their feet
and raised their glasses. "To the New
Year and the men who have the habit
OF attention to details !" he ended.

Replacing Brake Lining
Is Not Difficult Task

To replace a brake lining, the bands
or shoes are taken off, the axle is
placed in wise, while the rivets are
knocked off with a cold chisel or ham
mer. New strips of the lining fabric
are cut to size. Beginning then at one
end of the strip, two or three rivet
holes are located with blue pencil
and cut with a punch, after which the
fabric is put in position on the shoe.3
Medium hard rivets, to prevent scor-
ing of the drums, are passed through
the holes and are then headed down
securely at the back of the band.
They must be sunk well into the fabric
lining, so that no projections are left.
With the strip held tightly to prevent
wrinkling, and with the band at it's
original curvature, the next hole is
marked, punched and riveted in the
same way.
The operator simply keeps on
around until the entire strip of lining
is riveted down into place on the shoe.
The braking systems of our modern
cars are efficient enough under ordi-
nary circumstances, but they are not
powerful enough to allow margin
for slack maintenance They must be
kept right up to the mark, and sys-
tematic inspections and repairs when
needed are dictated by common sense

Lost Compression Quite
Disagreeable to Driver

Do not allow your engine to lose
compression. It is disagreeable to the
good driver and creates a larger run
ming expense, causing loss of fuel and
power. The careful motorists will
check up on compression in each
cylinder at regular intervals, opening
all printing cups or removing all spark
plugs. one at a time, and revolving
crank If the cylinder which has its
printing cup closed or plug inserted
resists to a good extent his efforts to
revolve the engine that cylinder has
good compression. All cylinders can
be tested in the same manner, closing
printing cups and replacing spark
plugs in each cylinder when the test
is completed. There are other
methods for testing, such as listening
for kissing noises on compression
strokes of pistons, allowing the car to
go down hill with ignition turned off
and with transmission in low or sec
ond speeds to note the resistance of
the movement of the car which each
cylinder offers, or compression
gauge may be used.
