Motorists Finding Used
Car Situation Is Tough

Many motorists who are not salts
fled with what their dealers offer
them for their old car in trade are at
tempting to dispose of the cars them
selves. The process is serving to
teach thousands just what the dealer
Is up against when he tries to sell a
used car. They also quickly realize
that their appraisal of the car usually
is higher by many dollars than that
anyone else sets upon the machine.
The dealer, often at his wits end
trying to cope with the used car
problem, would like to see more new
car prospects dispose Of their OLD cars,
or at least. make the attempt. If
they succeed, he would not have to
tie up capital in the used car and pay
heavy overhead charges until he dis
posed of it. II they failed, they prob
ably would become more rational in
their idea of what the car was worth
in trade.
Either way he benefits and, with
the problem constantly pressing upon
him, he cannot be blamed for wanting
to benefit in some way.

WINTER WEATHER
HINTS ON AUTOS
Car Owners Are Warned to
Carefully Prepare for
Coming Freezes.

Warning was issued to all motor
lists of this section recently in regard
to the preparation for winter wealth
er, by William A. Ochs, head of emer-
gency road service at the Detroit Au-
tomobile club. The following precau-
tons are essential for the winter care
Of car and for the prevention of
emergency breakdowns and trouble,
according to Mr.. Ochs, whose depart
ment last year handled more than 25,-
coo such calls:
Water connections on the radiator
and water pump should be checked
for leaks and rotted rubber before
anti-freeze solution is used.
Clean the Radiator.
The radiator should be cleaned
thoroughly with running water or
soda solution before the radiator is
filled with the anti-freeze solution,
since this solution will loosen up chips
Of rust and other dirt accumulations
and circulate them through the motor.
Oil should be changed to the winter
weight, according to the particular
car and to prevent the freezing of oc-
easional water accumulations at the
bottom Of the crank case.
Batteries which require rebuilding
and charging should be cared for be-
fore the cold nights of radio weather
make spare batteries impossible to OBJ
tain in an emergency.
The rear end and transmission
should be doped with the winter
weight of lubricant before freezing
weather brings about stiffening of
the oil and damages the gears.
Anti-freeze solutions which have
been retained from last winter should
be tested with hydrometer to ascer-
tain their present strength. Summer
weather often evaporates them to a
useless preventative against freezing
weather.
Inspect Tires.
Tires should be inspected for cuts
before the frost and ice are allowed
to destroy the cords.
CarDuretOrS should De adjusted 10
q winter mixture where necessary to
prevent delayed starting, which runs
down the battery. Ignition and coil
windings should be examined. since
cold weather will bring out any flaw
and cause short as the result of
mechanical contraction when the
mercury falls.
More than 1000 emergency road
service calls were made by Mr.. Ochs'
department last year to attend faulty
ignition during the early winter
months.

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign Of
Bladder Irritation or
Baekache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble because we often eat too much
rich food. Our blood is filed with
acids which the kidneys strive to
filter out; they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full Of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or If you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
begin drinking lots of good soft water
and get from your pharmacist about
four ounces Of Jad Salts. Take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in

Whitewater drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.

Clean Out Old Grease

Front wheel bearings get their lu-
bricant from the hub caps. While the
supply of grease in these units may
be considered adequate, its condition
is q point that merits attention. If
the lubricant is silvery in color the
fact is an indication that it is filled
with dust and filings. In such case
it should be changed without delay,
for these substances play havoc with
the lubricating qualities of the grease.
