Eastern Slunetard Time 42 Slnlion.r— NI3C Network THINK of what a tire must be to have won every Inter- national Championship for the past ten years—to hold the fastest speed record ever made on a motor vehicle from Coast to Coast—to have won the Endurance test record of 30,000 miles in 26,326 minutes —and to lead all other tires in the world in mileage records on taxicabs, trucks, buses and owners' cars everywhere! So commanding is the lead- ership achieved by Firestone in the pioneering and develop- ment of tire engineering, that all world records for mileage, safety, economy and endur- ance are held by Firestone Guru -Dipped Tires. You pay nothing for this extra endurance—extra safety —extra economy—extra mile- age that only Firestone Gum - Dipped Tires can give you.

It is an easy matter to clean the plugs by filling the lower part with alcohol or equal parts of ammonia and water, and al, lowing it to stand for a Sew seconds. Then rub the carbon from the in, sulator, wipe the plug dry and clean sparking points with emery cloth, OIL IN THE CRANKCASE. While thepressure gauge on thu instrument board will indicaiite the action of the pump in the force,sys- tem of lubrication, it will not tell the proper amount; of oil in the crank- case. For the proper level it is necessary to look at the oil level in- dicator, and this should be done at least every time the gas tank is filled. Many an engine has been badly damaged, simply because the amount of oil in the crankcase has been mis- judged. OPEN ROADS DANGEROUS Stretches of highway which look safe produce most accidents, while dangerous places along the road cause the fewest smashes. Where the highway obviously is likely to invite accidents, drivers are extra cautions, and negotiate the difficult places safely. However, where the open road looms ahead apparently free from obstruction end danger, the re- laxation and carelessness of drivers increase the accident toil. ILLS of the ENGINE and CAR Lack of power and poor get -away in a car are usually due to the fol- lowing: Manifold gasket leak, leaks past piston rings, improper valve clearance, fouled or improperly gapped spark plugs, worn or impro- perly spaced breaker points, early or late ignition timing, dragging brakes, shortage of fuel, due to clogged line or screens, faulty carburetor adjust -1 gent, high or low float level. AUTO SLEEPINESS, The effect of driving a car at •night for several hours is really responsible for more accidents than defective construction. The constant vibra- tion of the steering wheel, the eon- , tinuous noise of the machine and the drone of the wind have the same effect as does the buzz of an electric Pan, Before the driver realizes it he 1 is gettinfi drowsy. The wheel is held more and more loosely. Gradually the carr takes the line of least re- sistance, aided by the slackening (but not totally abandoned) control of the driver. The next thing he knows he is off the road. Sometimes the car overturns, Sometimes the driver escapes, together with the oc- cupants of the car, oftentimes :the dereliction results in injury or death. if more drivers realized the danger of not keeping awake there would be fewer accidents. SQUEAKY BRAKES. Although not definitely dangerous squeaky brakes are the most preva- lent symptoms of brake diseases that reach their .crisis in slipping and grabbing. There are two direct causes: ' 1. Excessive wear, which grinds down the brake lining end leaves ex- posed the rivet heads, as well sas wires woven into the lining. These metal parts, when forced against a rapidly revolving brake drum, form a metal -to -metal contact under pres- sure, and when the brakes are ap- plied the resulting vibration makes the brake squeak and howl. 2. An out -of -round condition of the brakeband, which localizes the wear on certain high spots, thus sett- ing up a series of distressing vibra- tions. The distorted condition of the band permits only the higher spots on the lining to make contact with the drum when brakes are appleid. A snappy accessory will greatly improve the appearance of an old car. Here orad Therel (360) Locomotive Number 5900, one o a fleet of twenty monster oil -burn- ing engines for use by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway on passenger and freight service in the moun- tains of British Columbia, has been re'eased from the Montreal Loco- motive Works and was on display In the Windsor Street Station, Montreal, recently, It was viewed by a constant stream of spectators all day, who admired its 96 feet of length, its huge proportions and its ^.'n rally h:oidsome appearance.

Canada's wool crop, like the grain harvest, moves across the country in a great wave. not being a simul- taneous operation in all provinces. It begins in the sheltered valleys of British Columbia and mores steadily across the Prairies. The shearing is at its height early in June and is about completed bye the end of that month. The crop ranges from 15 to 24 million lbs. yearly ely ta through Canad is dian Co-operated tive Wool Growers.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7th, 1922, Kalil Your Doctor Early By 1)r. Gordon Bates (General Secretary, Canadian Social Hygiene Council) I had a very good friend -- leading proi;,essional man, in middle lite, "I had" — what a tragedy those two words can suggest, as they do in the present instance. Ily hard work my friend had earned a position of the highest standing. He Was a leading citizen, a gentleman. Ile was at the top of his profession. In terms of life generally, he had reach ed than broad, calm plateau which some fortunate men attain after the climb and the storms of youth are over, He seemed to be in the best of health; Canada had reason to ex- pect of him long years of mature work, and thought and guidance. And then one evening he dropped dead. What a shock to his family and friends. What a loss to the com- munity in which he lived—that this individual of ripened, matured judgment, of great force of charact- er and personality, this leader, should have been stricken down just when the star of his destiny seemed to be shining brightest. And the greater tragedy was this; this his death was unnecessary. There was no need for him to have died for another twenty, thirty years. . There are thousands of deaths like that, every year. For score of years, people have been saying : "an ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure." If we could appreciate its profound truth. only those who say that so glibly If only they would take the trouble to apply it to their own health and well-being. My friend died suddenly of a heart condition that was entirely un- suspected. He had never experienc- ed any symptons, so had no reason to •belive that anything was the mat- ter with him. To most people, that fact' is sufficient to indicate that the death was absolutely unprevent- able. But that is not so. SALADA quality never clr; ssgee while cheap brands constantly vary with ,r;,,arket prices 'Fresh from the gardens' areata may result upon the correc- tion of such defects and by the est- abliellment of proper hygienic and dietetic habits. Periodic health examinations af• ford the only systematic opportunity (a) To observe the development of the individual ; (b) To detect the earliest signs of change from the normal and of impending disease ; (e) To observe the effects of a hygienic daily regime ; (d) To note abnormal conditions arising from neglect of the laws of health ; (e) To recognize the benefits of following advice given to correct these abnormal conditions. (f) 'ro detect the early signs of local infection and the results of their persistence ; (g) To accumulate facts regard- ing early symptoms of disease and treatment ; (11) To investigate the possibilit- ies of cure in cancer, tuberclosis, venereal disease, etc. ; (i) 1'o study the importance of hygenie and dietetic treatment in general. From the forgoing, some idea of the advantages of periodic physical examinations, both the individual, and to society, may be gathered. It is up to those who desire to partake of those advantages to govern them- selves accordingly. CHECKERS! It would be interesting to know how the older generation wasted their time before golf became a na- Lioni'i, r;.'d: ale. Medical science lies progressed far beyond the knowledge of the lay- man. The X-ray sees things that are ' hidden to the naked eye. And if he had been in the habit of subjecting himself to a thorough physical ex- amination every year, or every six . months, that heart condition or its , case might have been detected long ago. He would have been warmed by his doctor, could have dealt with con -i clition which neglected result in - heart disease, or were the heart dis- ease already in existence could hare ' regulated his life as to impo,c- the least possible strain upon hi. heart— I so that up to a point, that organ would have overcome its disability,' and gotten better instead of worse. i There is no possibility of error I here ; it is recognized by leading ! doctors the world over, that kin per- son who has his system examined and `overhauled' regularly just as a sensible motorist has his tar over- 1 hauled regularly, has a far better chance of longer life than one who -- does not, No one doubts such a reasonably' claim. it isn't public skepticism that has to be over come ; it is public in- I difference. The averiae man is too busy trying to add a thousand dal-; lass to his ineome to bother about adding ten years to his life. A very large proportion of dl es- ses, if dealt with in their ineipieni. stages, will not become serious. Dur- ing those incipient stages, the symp• toms are so slight as to be scarcely noticed by a layman. In fact , no exterior symptoms may be present, whatever. Furthermore, there are many physical conditions that are forerunners of ilhtrss--.conditions ntay lead up to illness if not checked. It is the little things thnt Ila-^ eo be watched— the inconsiderable acorns that grow into great oaks of dis- ease,. Here the importance of re- gular physical examination loons large. High blood pressure, over- weight are examples. Or man's ha- bits may need to be corrected. Can. ter, Syphilis, tuberculosis are all diseases that it is supremely import- ant to combat early ---and whose earliest syneptons are not always manifest to the patient, In a pamphlet issued to physicians by the Dominion Department of Health, and compiled by the Canad- ian Medical Asso., the following. appears : "The average man habita- 'uatly accepts his variations from the normal as something to which he should be resigned. The army ex- perience demonstrates clearly that a very high percentage of supposedly. fit and active men among rich and poor alike, have some phy, ideal impairment whieh in mar,v,cas- e8, is due to preventable Causes. It ihae been shown further that improVo' Produced 15 tons of milk Strathmore Sylvia, prize pure-bred Holstein from the Canadian Pa'. isle I'.ailway Experimental Farm at Strathmore, Alberta, held the record of all Canada last year for her production of 29,371 pounds of milk and 1267 pounds of butter. She had her day -out at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede et Calgary recently, when with others from the herd of 601) at the farm she was admired by thousands of visitors. Just to impress on then what she had done, 370 eight -gallon milk cans were arranged around the entire Canadian Pacific Holstein ex- hibit, these being the number required to hold the milk Sylvia pro- duced, 1267 one -pound butter cartons formed an arch at one end, emphasizing her butter production, a ewIings re 6 VERY member of every family in this com- mnnity is interested in the news of the day.
