of fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin
and other pure ingredients will
clean you out thoroughly-without

Most important Aids to
Start Very Cold Motor

Among the most important aids to
starting motors in cold weather are
the correct fuel and lubricant, points
out the mechanical first aid depart
ment of the Chicago Motor club in a
bulletin on the care of the car in
winter.
Various grades of gasoline differ
greatly, so far as easy starting quail
tiles are concerned, the bulletin stated
1t was suggested that car owners who
anticipate trouble in starting use only
those grades of gasoline which possess
easy starting qualities. Frequently it
is advisable to readjust the car
buretor This should be done only
by a capable mechanic.
The agency of the make of car is
always in a position to advise owners
as to the best oil. Some cars used
the same consistency of oil the year
around most, however, are designed
for thinner lubricant i'm winter. Hon.
est and to the minute filling stations
usually offer the right grade of oil
for the car in question; the Chicago
Motor club does not, however, advise
motorists to trust all stations to rec
Ommend the correct oil. The reason
that comparatively thin oil is better
in winter is because oil thickens in
low temperatures frequently the
'drag' of the pistons against the
cylinder walls and other sources of
fraction cause an excessive load on

Carburetor Blamed for
Missing and "Bucking''

Missing of the engine and "bucking"
frequently blamed on the carburetor
are often due to nothing more than
improper adjustment of spark plug
or breaker point gaps or both. accord
ing to an engineering bulletin. Before
making carburetor adjustment in high
compression engines, the bulletin says,
the owner or mechanic should make
sure that the plug gap is 90 inch
or less and distributor points are filed
square and capped from O.15 to OBJ
inch, the smallest workable gap the
better.
The bulletin adds that dirty or
WORKOUT spark plugs cause trouble
often blamed on the carburetOr. To
clean plugs, fill the lower part with
alcohol, metal polish or equal parts
ammonia and water and allow to stand
for few seconds; rub the carbon
from the insulator with stiff wire or
small wooden peg covered with one
thickness of cloth; wipe the plug dry,
then clean sparkling points with en-
cry cloth.

too cold.
The choke should be used sparingly.
Excessive use of this aid TO starting
will result in undue amounts of raw

will leak past the pistons into the
crank case, thereby diluting the crank
case oil.
Whenever the starter encounters
difficulty in spinning the engine be-
cause of cold oil. the crank should
be used to loosen the engine. This
practice will save the battery from
undue drain.
Many car manufacturers advise
lighter lubricant in the gear case, and
also in the differential housing. AS

car what grade of oil or grease is
best in those parts, and act accord

Tension of Wire Wheel
Spoke Quite Important

An important matter with wire
wheels is the spoke tension. All the
spOkes should have the same amount
or the wheel will not run true. The
tension on the spokes can be tested
very simply by tapping them with a
light stick of wood or even a pencil,
while the car is lacked up. Each spoke
should give the same musical note as
it vibrates after being tapped If
some give a high "bing" sound and
others low "bong," the spokes need
adjustment, and the adjusting nut
should be turned until they are all in
tune. The tighter the spoke the high
er the note.

Engine Sailing Is Due
to Sticking Choke Valve

Engine stalling due to an overrich
mixture is frequently caused by a
sticking choke valve. Sometimes it is
a puzzling difficulty because the choke
may operate properly one time and the
next time it may stick in close pO-
sition so the carbureter cannot get air,
with the result that the over-rich mix
ture kills the engine.
Look over the wire connections and
see that the nut or screw holding the
adjustment of the choke control is
properly fastened.
Always be sure that the choke valve
is full open in the running position.
Otherwise it will result in a very rich
mixture that will not give good results.
