Travel from one to two
years free in your Ford
on your saving in one
year's depreciation.
Other cars in the X1000 or less class, after one
year of service, are worth from $250 to '$400
less than their purchase price. That's their
depreciation.
Ford cars, after a year's hard work, sell on an/
average for only $125 less than they cost brand
new, That's Ford depreciation.
The difference in depreciation of these year-old
cars ranges from $125 in the one case to $275
in the other ---both considerable savings for Ford
owners.
Thousands of owners tell us that it costs .024
per mile on an average to drive a Ford—paying
for gasoline, oil, tires and repairs.
So, if your saving in depreciation for a year is
$125 you pay all your expenses for 5,208 miles --•-
while if it is $275, you have kept enough money
in your pocket to pay for driving your Ford
19,458 miles.
Buying a Ford in preference to other less than
$1,000 cars, lets you save in one year's time a
difference in depreciation that pays alt your
motoring bills for from one to two years.
Think it over.

LONG LIFE
There is no reason for the volun-
tary surrender of our bodies into the
clutches of Father Time. We ought
to live to be 120 years of age, and
we can, barring accidents, draw our
skein of life far past the allotted
three score years and ten if we make
a careful and deliberate effort to
preserve the youthful attitutes of our
minds.
Where, then, lies the fountain of
youth? Where may it be sought out
and utilized in our hunt for an
avenue of escape from senility? How
can the decay of flesh and spirit be
postponed and vigors of middle age
be preserved?
In the Old Testament a constantly
recurring statement is "he died 120
years old," and the average age of
the men who were the leading person-
ages of those times was about that
figure,
Metchnikoff, who is the greatest liv-
ing Carwinian, and head of the Pas-
teur Institute in France, agrees ab-
solutely with the figures laid down
in the Old Testament. Two books,
written by this authority, lay bare the
truth regarding human life with as-
tounding clearness, One of them is
a very stately volume entitled "The
Nature of Man." In this work Metch-
nikoff emphatically states that from
o•rservations leased tib animal life he
hes concluded that man's days
should number 120 years,
Granted, then, that the natural life
of man eoold easily be extended some
,35 or 40 years beyond the limit set
.4nwn in the minds of most persons it
can be readily understood that when
death occurs supposedly from old age
before this latent period has even be-
gun, that the cause was something
other than that insisted upon by nature.
Certain it is that if knowledge of
man's truly allotted time could but
become universal, the popular notion
regarding the age called the "prime
of life" would have to be advanced
from 40 to GO.
Hope, which beginsto die at man's
command because he has laid down
the law that she shall leave him at a
certain time, might then be coaxed to
remain longer, and Youth, too, which
must be gladdened by Hope in order
to live at all, might stay where her
companion lingered.
Says Metchnikoff in the other of
the two books, entitled "Prolongation
of Lite": "I find it impossible to ac-
cept the view that the high mortality
between the ages of 70 and 75 indl•
cates a natural limit of human life.
the fact that so many men of 70 to
75 years old are well preserved, both
p:nysically and intellectually, makes it
impossible to regard that age as the
limiting one. Philosophers, such as
Plato, poets such as Goethe and Vic-
tor Hugo, artists such as Michael
Angelo, Titian and Franz Hals, pro.
duced some of their most important
works when they had passed the time
which has been called the limit of
human life."
One naturally puts the question,
"How did these men keep alight the
fires of youth, which n.ust have burn-
ed to an exalted height indeed in
their minds and souls?"
These men learned something every
day; they sought knowledge, never
relaxing into the conscious position of
a seer, one who imparts knowledge
with the air of having memorized all
that was worth while. These men
studied all the time; they kept appre.'
ciating how much of new there was
in that old, old quality we call hu-
man nature. They watched the
changing ideals of science, religion,
literature and politics with zeal, un-
derstanding; sympathizing, criticising
perhaps, but intelligently.
Minds which lose their plastic
quality and become closed to convic-
tion are old, and the bodies belonging
to such minds grow senile along with
the mental processes. The old cannot
change the ideals they formed long
ago, in youth. That is why they are
old. If they had but cultivated the
power of reinterpreting their ideals to
fit a changing world, they would have
had the secret of remaining young.
More than all other religions,
Christianity embodies the spirit of
youth. Christianity is hope, which is
synonymous with youth. It is ever
looking toward a millenium. If we
but care to listen we can hear God's
voice proclaiming, "There shall be a
new heaven and a new earth, and the
former shall not be remembered, nor
come into mind." After all, righteous-
ness is but harmonious living, and one
must be rightly related to have within
himself the soul substance of life's
morning.
Could we but realize that our bodies
and souls need not stop renewing
themselves unless we so elect of our
own free will, we would understand
something of the tremendous processes
of creation which God is continually
striving to set in motion everywhere,
even within ourselves, as well as in the
world around us.

DYSPEPSIA.
Unless the stomach is kept in good
shape your food will. not digest properly
but will cause a rising and souring of
fond, a feeling of rawness in the stomach,
pains in the stomach or a feeling as if a
heavy weight were lying there.
Burdock Blood Bitters cannot be
surpassed as a cure for .dyspepsia and all
Its allied troubles..
Mr. James R. Burns, Balmoral, 1t S.,
writes: "About two years ago I was badly
troubled with dyspepsia, and could not
get any relief. I tried most everything,
not even the doctors seeming to do me
any good. One day a friend told me
to try Burdock Blood Bitters, as he had
seen it advertised. I did so, and by the
time the first bottle was gone I felt better,
and after taking three bottles I was com-
pletely cured, I highly recommend it to
all sufferers from dyspepsia."

DIVISION OF NUMBERS.
Rules That Will Simplify Some Eacam-
pies In Arithmetic.
It is often convenient to know wheth-
er a given number is divisible by an-
other without going through the usual
process of division. Almost every one
knows that however large a number
may be, it Is divisible by 5 if the last
digit is 5 or 0. The following gives the
rule for some other numbers:
A number is divisible by 2 when the
last digit is divisible by 2; by 3 when
the sum of the digits is divisible by 3;
by 4 when the number represented by
the last two digits is divisible by 4; by
5 when the number ends in 5 or 0; by
6 when it is divisible by 2 and also by
3; by 8 when the number represented
by the last three digits is divisible by
8; by 9 when the sum of the digits is
divisible by 9.
For example, the number 1728 is di-
visible by 2, because its last digit. 8, Is
divisible by 2; by 4, because 28 is divis-
ible by 4, and by 8 because 728 is divis-
ible by 8. It is also divisible by 3 and
by 9, for the sum of its digits total 18,
a number divisible by 3 and by 9. Since
it is divisible by 2 and by 3, it is also
divisible by R
To find whether a number is divisible
by 7 you must go through the usual
process of division.—Youth's Compan-
ion.
DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their Uncanny Ticking and Their Trick
of Playing Dead.
You've probably beard the death-
watch beetle oftener than you've seen
him. He hides away in furniture or
Interior woodwork and keeps up a
continual "tick -tick -tick" like a watch.
Day or night you'll hear him pounding
away. He's eternally persistent about
it and ghostlike and uncanny, hence
his name.
He makes the little ticking noise with
his head, pounding it on the wood. It's
the way he has of calling his mate, and
his mate answers him in turn. If you
pound on the wood where he is hiding
he'll answer you just like he does his
mate.
You may wonder how he finds his
way inside a piece of furniture. He
gets there when he's in the grub or
larva state, boring his way through
wood, paper or anything the grub can
eat. The larva which eats its way
through the leaves of a book is a
cousin.
The deathwatch beetle has another
trick besides that one of calling his
mate by pounding his head on wood.
When you touch one of the little crea-
tures he folds his legs up beneath his
body and makes believe he's dead.
He will keep on playing possum even
if you put him close enough to a fire to
roast him.—Philadelphia North Amer-
ican.
The Word Calico.
The word "calico" has a queer ori-
gin. Many centuries ago the first mon-
arch of the province of Malabar, in
Hindustan, gave to one of his chiefs
as a reward for distinguished services
his sword and all the land within the
limit of which a cock crowing at a cer-
tain temple could be heard. From this
circumstance the little town which
grew up in the center of this territory
was called Calieoda, or "the cock crow-
ing."
rowing." Afterward it was called Calleut,
and from this place the first cotton
goods were imported into England
bearing the word calico.
