Easy-Reading Handy Volumes

Editor-in- n-Chief of the original edition was
Frank II. Vizetelly, the beloved "Viz" of radio
fame, and the editor of the unexcelled Funk &
Wagnalls New Standard (unabridge Diction-
ary. Surrounded by host of authorities in many
fields, he brought this immense work into being
But the books are easy to read! Your children
in grammar and high school can read them
use them with profit. Free of technical detail
abstruse wording and dry-as-dust research spe-
cialist attitude-and free also of concise, over
abbreviated fact-omitting brevity y this grand
encyclopedia will be your rainy evening COM
panion for many years to come.
And, in spite of their truly enormous contents,
each volume can be held in one hand Gone is
the old-fashioned, bulky, cumbersome format-
big, heavy books that easily drop and as easily
break. Here is new, streamlined, USABLE set
that is attractive interesting and handy for daily
reference.
Nor does the almost incredibly low price we
have set on the remaining volumes indicate the
quality of materials and labor that went into the
printing and binding of the set. We have used
high-grade book paper, cover board, and bind
ing cloth. The printing is crisp and cearcut, and
the work of binding has been done by one of the
largest and best-known firms in the field. These
are drst-qualty books, as of course you will soon
see for yourself.

Some, Facts About This Encyclopedia

We expect to enclose with Volume small
pamphlet giving the facts to show that this is one
of the finest encyclopedias anyone can buy for
home use-unsurpassed by any other at any price.
In the meantime, we want to give you few of
the facts printed in the pamphlet so as to interest
you in taking the trouble to send for Volume I.
This neqoest 1911 Edition contains oUer 81 900
subjects, coUered in separate articles. Compare
this with any other encyclopedia in the world.
You will find that this number is at least 800
greater than in encyclopedias costing you up to
four times as much as ours.
Each uolume comprising about 500 double
columned bages) contains ouer quarter of q
million eOords g. oOer 100000 qcords in all
which will give you some idea of the complete
ness of coverage of each subject.
Each vo1ume is as ub-to-date as human tn
genuity can make it, In this edition the sub bjects
have been revised to cover events of this last year,
and each volume, as it goes to press, is brought
finally up-to-the- minute. Our unique book a
week delivery plan, bringing you the volumes
almost as they come off the presses, makes it the
most up-to-date of encyclopedias. Better still
later volumes, delivered to you during the COM
ing months-will contain events which have not
yet occurred!

Primitive Agriculture ThrIVss

Laguna. outside Of Manila, is con-
sidered a garden spot Of the Philip

can visitors and residents have
come to enjoy it's scenic drives and
hot springs resorts. Its scantily
clad, barefoot native farmers pillow
with primitive implements drawn
by the sluggish and sometimes vi
cious carabao, or water buffalo. But
crops grow in lush fashion, encour-
aged by fertile, volcanic soil and
hot, moist climate.
In an area Of only $50 square
miles, about three-quarters the size
of Rhode Island. Laguna Province
exhibits virtually all the tropical
plants associated with that part Of
the world.
A heavy contributor to the Philip
pine sugar and rice bowls, it is nor
mally among the leading provinces
in the production of copra, the dried
meat of the coconut, which provides
some of the new scarce and valu-
able oils used in making soap and

and exotic fruits ar ethe lanson, an

Udder injuries can make the

injuries can be classified in three
types: mechanical, thermal and
chemical Mechanical injuries in
clude scratches, cuts and abrasions
of the teats; bruises on the udder
from kicks. chasing in pastures and
stepping-on; calf sucking; and in
juries from bites. stings, rough
hand-milking and leaving the milk
ing machine attached to the teats
after the udder is empty. Thermal
or temperature types of injury in
volve lying on cold, damp floors;
sudden exposure to cold drafts;
turning cows out of the barn while
their udders are still wet; and ex-
posture to cold rains. Chemical in
-juries may result when filth, urine
and manure come in contact with
the teats.

EpIeurss SiIII Argue
Over Merits Of AppIssauee

Though typically an American
dish, cooks have never agreed on
just how to make applesauce. APP
pie epicures still argue the relative
merits of thick or thin sauce, Of
smooth or chunky, and Of that
sweetened before or after cooking.
But there are some general rules
to be followed for all types Of sauce.
Apples that are tart, firm and
spicy when raw generally have the
best favor when cooked, special
lists believe. Also, fast cooking in a
covered pan is better than long,
slow cooking, and a little sweeten-
ing helps bring out the delicate ap-
pie flavor Some folk like a pinch
of salt too.
A rich-favored sauce may be
made by boiling four quarts of cider
down to two quarts, then adding
two quarts pared, cored, or quar-
tered apples, and cooking until ten
der with a little cinnamon if de-
sired. Another attractive fiavorful
sauce may be made by soaking one
cup of washed, dried apricots over
night; adding two quarts peeled,
thinly sliced apples, four table
spoons sugar and cooking until ten
der.

better OlIs


IN order to ubricate efficiently
under the high speeds and high
temperatures at which modern au-
tomooile engines are operated most
motor oils are now manufactured
py special processes which involve
the use of carefully selected and
prepared solvents. Certain of these
solvents extract from lubricating
OIL stocks high quality lubricants
winch, IN their raw state, contain
large quantities Of wax. Other solv-
ents are used in low-temperature
processes to remove the wax from
these oils. The final products re-
sultlng from these solvent processes
are modern motor oils which are
as different from motor oils made
81 years ago as the automobile of
today differs from the horseless car
rage of the early 1905. The separa-
ton OF wax from high quality lubri-
cant stocks by solvent processes is
a highly technical and complicated
operation. The wax-removing oper-
alton consists in mixing the
solvent and wax-bearing oil in pre-
determined proportions, then chill
ing this mixture to sub-zero tenn
peratures in specially designed
chilling machines. The wax solidi-
fies into small particles and re-
mains in suspension in the cold mix
ture until removed by filtration in
large vacuum filters. The solvent
is later removed by distillation from
the wax-free lubricating oil.

G. /. INSURANCE

In previous articles we discussed
the permanent forms of National
Service Life Insurance. Some mis-
understanding on the method by
which term insurance may be con-
verted to these forms will be clari-
fled in this article.
In the first place, a term insur-
ance policy (the kind you had in
service) may be converted to a per-
manent plan either as of the cur
rent month, or as of the original
date of issuance of any premium
due date between the original and
current date. If you convert back
to the original date of issue, the
monthly premiums would be slight
ly lower than the current age pre-
miums, but you would have to de-
post a sum large enough to equal
the reserve of the policy. In other
words, if you had carried a 20-pay-
ment life policy three years, it
would have a certain cash value
today. If at this time, you convert
term policy to a 20-pay life three
years old, you would have to pro-
vide a sum equal to 3 years re-
serve to bring such policy up to
date This plan is not often recon-
mended because at young ages"
the rate per year on any type of
policy increases slowly.
A better plan is to convert your
term insurance as of your present
age, and if you have excess funds
such as a terminal leave bond you
may pay the premiums in advance
and obtain three per cent dis
count In event of your death, any
premiums on deposit beyond the
month are refunded in adj
dition to the payment of the a
mount of insurance involved.
Veterans should not be in too big
a hurry to convert, but should wait
until they know where they stand
In many cases it is
better to convert a part of it at the
time, continuing the balance as
term insurance until it also can be
to a permanent policy
If you want information regard /
ing premium rates on converted
policies, visit your VA contact Of
