Long before the Irish taught US that
March II was st. Patrick's day. this
date was celebrated in England for
q very curious reason. In the Middle
ages 1t was regarded as the anniver-
sary of the day upon which Noah
entered the ark. Noah's Ark day was
specially made the occasion fo' the
performance Of the mystery play that
dramatfzed with considerable freedom
the Biblical record of the flood. In
this Noah's wife was always the prin-
cipal comic character, being depicted
as the typical shrew.
The quarrels between Noah and his
helpmate created great amusement for
the spectators. When the ark Is ready

AVOID FREEZING
WITH SOLUTIONS
Undiluted Kerosene Used
on Cars and Trucks.

AS sharp freeze may seriously DAM
age the auto or tractor engine, 1t is
high time that every operator be CIV
ing attention to putting in some anti
freeze that will prevent such damage.
Undiluted kerosene Is being used
more for anti-freeze in automobiles
and trucks, and seems to give salts
factory results Kerosene does not
transmit heat so rapidly as water, and
there might be some danger of over
heating where the car must stand
heavy continuous service.
Kerosene Anti-Freeze.
A car with kerosene antifreeze
should be watched carefully If 1t has
to pull for considerable time In
mud or snow, especially in low gear.
There is some smell, but very little
more than with alcohol. There may
be some danger from fire in the case
of bad overheating, but little or none
from the vapor given off. Kerosene
is hard on the radiator connections,
but they ought to be replaced every
other year anyway.
Honey has been used by a good
many motorists as an anti-freeze with
quite satisfactory results. A mixture
Of half water and half honey Is
brought to a boil for several minutes
and SKINNED before being put into
the cooling system. This will stand
temperature Of 20 below zero before
freezing and then makes slushy ice
which does not seem to do any dam
age. Only water needs to be added
to the honey solution.
Alcohol Best.
Denatured alcohol is the most COM
mon substance to use as 1t does not
have any destructive action on the
metal or rubber hose nor will 1t form
any deposits of foreign matter to
choke up radiator passages. 1t has
the disadvantage that its boiling point
is lower than water. A 80 per cent
solution of alcohol protects to zero,
40 per cent to 20 below, and 90 per
cent to 80 below.

Food Fads

IT WAS recently announced that
two internationally known Arctic
explorers sustained life most satisfac-
toriiy on an exclusive meat diet while
living in the temperate zone and en-.
gagged In sedentary habits. Almost at
the same time young lady claimed
that she had actually flourished for
months solely on peanuts. And still
another experimentalist announced to
the world that bread. milk and cheese
constituted the perfect dietary. Thus,
food fads are born.
However. when It Is all said and
done, these digestive excursions
merely prove the amazing iexibility
of the human system to food adjust
ment And while from news stand
point such studies are interesting,
they are likely to result in more harm
than good. The reason for this is
that there are so many fanatically
minded people who are eager to try
anything new If 1t relates to the food
question and particularly If 1t is con.
nected with fhe reducing IDEA.
1t must he readily admitted that
various kinds of food are definitely
contra indicated in the actual pres
ence of disease. But In general all
foods, so far as the average person
is concerned. are entirely safe and
healthful to consume. Consequently
sweets. meat, milk, grains and all
their by-products have their proper
place on the daily menu. The I'm.
pnrtant thing is to maintain ration
al diet balance and eat all things mod
erately.
Therefore. follow fads In clothing,
interior decoration and motor cars If
you have failing for fads, but do
not go crazy on the food fads Long
life is not in sympathy with such 90
attitude.
