Safety in Filling "Gas" Tank
One of the frequent dangers of
fire developing in a car is static
electricity while engaged in filling a
gasoline tank. See that the metal
nozzle of the hose is kept in continu-
ous contact with the mouth of the
tank, thus preventing a spark jump-
ing from the nozzle ,to the tank.
A Helpful Suggestion
The vacuum tank on the car
should be cleaned out every three
months to eliminate sediment. Re-
move the top of the tank and take
out the inner shell. This will per•
mit access to the lower chamber,
from which rust and dirt can then
be removed. Also check the screen
• to see that the tank head is clean.
Cause of Burned -Out Globes
A loose battery connection is fre-
quently the cause of burned -out
head -light globes, especially when
this occurs consistently. Very often
the jar of the car will shake loose
the battery connection, allowing the
cmgent to flow from the generator
direct to thn lamps, which produces
a higher voltage than they will car-
ry.
Proper Placement of Spotlight
When installieg a spotlight on the
windshield of a car, either place it
at e. high or low point, so that it will
not obstruct the vision of approach-
ing cars. Adjust or focus the liglet
so that the rays converge into a
small distinct •point when it strikes
the road. This adjustinent will
Make the light more effiCient and
protect approaching travellers from
glare.
Getting Car Out of Garage
If it were not for the ever-present
clanger of death from poisonous car-
bonmonoxide fumes from the ex-
haust of the engine, no motorist
Would be justified in moving his dee
in cold weather until the engine was
thoroughly • warmed. AS; mattere.
stand, however, the average drivel:
cranks as quickly as he can and then
backs out of the garage without de-
lay, This problem can be solved,
however, by malting for the car
to run up a slight incline when it is
garaged. After releasing the brakes
the car coasts out to the driveway,
where the driver can take hie time
warming up the engine, yet without
operating it in the meantime.
The Overheated Engine
If the. engine in the car heats up 1
excessively, check the ignition sys-
tem for •a late spark or look for
poor water circulation, If the igni-
tion is set late, the engine will holt
and will lose power. It will also be
- impossible to get a spark knock
I with the spark control advanced on
a hard pull. Overheating may also
be caused by an air leak or by too
lean a carburetor mixture.
--
A Quick Start on a Cold Day
To start the engine quickly on
cold mornings, especially when the
battery, is low or the ear does not
have a starter, prime it by putting
about a teaspoonful of gasoline into
each cylinder through the relief
cocks or spark plug holes. Draining !
the radiator and refilling with het
water willalso make the engine
start more ereadily.
An exhause valve should have at
least two -thousandths of an inch
more clearance at the tappet than is
given an intake valve. 1
Every operator of a motor vehicle
should learn to drive in a straight
line. If changing the course Of the ,
car, clear signals should be first in- I
(Heated with the hand.
A ;trainer or trap installed in the
gasoline line Of the car will keep the
water and sediment out of the car-
buretor and vacuum tank, as thoy
are heavier than gasoline and settle
at the lowest point.
Always brush off an accumulation
of snow when bringing the car into
the garage after a storm, otheredse
snow when melting will remain on
the various parts of the car too long '
thus doing all manner of damage be- ,
fore filially dripping te the floor. I
When. it is found difficult to shift
into low for a quick start, try shift- ;
ing into sebond or reverse an
stant before trying again. Usually
this will put the gears in the right
poeition for a mesh better than by
letting in the clutch for an instant.
, An annoying rim squeak can be
stopped by running- the car for a
short distance with the lugs fairly
loose. This will permit the rim to
readjust itself and the noise will .
stop of its own accord. Repeat this
process if the squeak persists when I
the lugs are tightened again,

It Will Help You to Secure the
Higher Government Standard
Grading Price
Creamery Brussels Cary advises all
who produce cream to put in ice this
winter for the proper cooling of
cream next summer. The manager
says:
Probably the most important mat-
ter in the whole dairy industry this
Year will be that of cream grading,
and what it will mean to both you
and us in our business relations.
Not many people to -day will ad-
mit that they dp not deserve to be
paid for extra quality in an article
which they produce and sell. Dairy
.farmers have not always got that
extra value, but their good quality
was required (under our competi-
tive system) to help carry the loss
that their neighbor ought to have
shouldered alone as he was produc-
ing a poorer product.
Creameries hesitated to put their
ideas of right and wrong in this re-
gard into practice, because they
knew that if they de -graded a can
of cream their opponent in business
might get it, and pay full price for
it, taking the loss from some other
Patron—and they would have lost
a patron!
Now the Government has stepped
in, and commencing probably about
next April will make it compulsory
for every creamery to grade the
cream as it comes in, and to pay
for it according to its grade. We
are glad that this has been done. We
'WANT to pay what cream is actual-
ly worth, and next summer will be
able to give you a premium for
your ;good cream, and if we have to
penalize 'some shippers for sending
in poor cream, we know they can't
get a better grading in another
creamery, and thus be lost to us.
We KNOW this because the.grad-
ing is to be done in all creameries
'ander the eye of men trained and
directed by the Government, whieh
is determined to see that it is hon-
estly and fairly done in all cases.
The Government is anxious about
it because it knows that when •peo-
Ple are paid more for producing bet-
ter cream, they will. take more care
with it, and the quality of our but -
tee in the province will be improv-
ed.
There will be four grades of
cream, Specials, Fiest, Second and
Off Grade: Each grade will be paid
for according, to a set of differen-
tials outlined by the Dairy Branch.
We might not bother going into
this matter with you at the present
time, because all the details have
not been worked out yet, but 'the
fact is that the use of Inc to cool
the cream is an important matter,
if you are to get the top price dur-
ing the hot days of next summer—
and the top price is :just a nice pre-
mium, the use of ice g almost es-
eential.
The 'winter is the time when ice
must be leid in, and WO don't want
to "spring" this cream grading busi-
ness on yeti in the spring, when it
is tee late for you to get in ice if
You wish to. We want to play fair
with you, and we want you to be
able to send the best possible cream
to as next stmuner—the sweeter the
better.
If there is anything about the
matter of eream grading or ice ha, -
vest that you wish to discuss with
us, we will be pleased to have you
call or write. We are hopefnl of
having your Valued patronago due -
beg the coming season, and will do
all in otir power to merit your eon,
tinued support.

THE SANE DRIVER
They call me 'slow and pokey and
they :4ay I take no chancel,:
For I never race the signal of the
- busy. thoroughfare,
And I never pass a corner Oithout
taking both -way glancee,
Inv .4;ometimee lose a minute,
hut I've always- that to spare,
And I never see tt youngster :with a
hoop or ball or 'top
But I press the brakes a little and
get ready for a stop.
They laugh about my driving and
they call me an old lady
just because I never hurry when
a signal change I see,
But I've never paid a visit to Inspec-
tor Tom O'Grady
With a traffic violation slip some
col!) had handed me.
And night or day at street ear lines
I check my motor down
Because I think our city morgue's
the coldest place in town.
I've never missed a railroad train be-
cause of careful driving.
I've never hauled to hospitals the
victims of my speed,
I'd rather by a little care make cer-
tain of arriving
Than • flirt with death to try to
save a minute I don't need.
I may be slow and pokey, but my
friends will all agree
No one will be a nervous, wreck who
takes a ride with me.

only remedy many of these expen-
eive losses, but would insure the
benefits of a refrigerator to the
farm household.
The increasing demand for a
higher quality of dairy products
makes the story of ice a very im-
portant factor, and it beconies more
pressing each year if dairymen are
to reap' the full reward for the care,
labor and investment in the produc-
tion of dairy products; in the price
to be obtained for high grade pro-
ducts, and in the prevention of los-
ses which frequently occur from the
attempt. to manufacture over -ripe,
gassy and sour, yeasty cream into
butter.
As a means of relief from worry
regarding the keeping of cream in
good condition during week -ends
and over -night in the warm weath-
er, there is probably nothing whielt
gives greater satisfaction than to be
in a position to place the cans of
cream immediately after separating
in an insulated tank in which is
placed cold water and ice, and iind
that when required for delivery
they are in prime condition, sweet
and acceptable to the purchasers,
and fit to make the very highest
type of dairy products.
In addition to the importance of
ice in connection with the coolifig
of cream, its value in the household
must not be overlooked, With a imp -
ply of ice, the housewife can pre-
serve her butter, eggs, meats and
fruits for Et considerable length of
time. It will air enable her to
have a greater variety of food br-
ing the hot weather and to provide
ice cream and other refreshing des-
serts.
Cream sold during the winter is
worth more than that during the
flush of the season. It is produced
when work is more or less slack
about the farm, and it collies to the
market at a time when there is a
shortage of butter. The cows must
live all year around. Why not make
them pay,: for THEIR keep and some
of your, during the winter months?
In the future the slogan will be:
STILL SWEETER AND CLEANER
CREAM. When the creameries
start ALL paying foe cream accord-
ing to its cleanness and sweetness,
then it will be to everybody's inter-
est to give a little thought to keep-
ing the cream from going sour.
There's one thing to always re-
member when cooling cream. It is
to NEVER add warm cream to that
which has already been cooled. It
will make it alt sour. Cool the warm
cream first, and THEN add it to the
older cream. That is a little tip that
will mean dollars to a shipper dur-
ing the season.

Upon the tablr, and at times
That very worst of dinner crimes,
That very shameful act and rude,
Of speaking ere you've downed your

Too frequently, I fear is done,
So fast the little voids run;
Yet, why should table manners stay
Those tongues, which have so much

At many a table I have been
Where wealth and luxury were seen,
And I have dined in halls of pride
Where all the guests were digniaed;
But when it comes to pleasure rare,
The perfect dinner table's where
No stranger's face is ever known;
The dinner hour we spend alone,
When little 'girl and little lad
Run riot telling things to dad.

Protecting the Radiator
The practice of attaching card-
board or leather over a section of
the radiator coreduring cold weath-
er has led to the variation of at-
taching the protector covering to
the inside, so that the appearance of
the car is not marred. But while
this serves to keep cold air from
blowing over the engine, just as it
would if attached to the 'outside, it
greatly increases the chances of
freezing the radiator. When the .
cover is inside, the core of the radi-
ateor gets the full blastof freezing
.ozone, without even an occasional !
puff of warm air from the engine.

Legends of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec
Gol5LIM2 OP THE ST. LAMZEMCe
Volk tales and legends still cling
r to the shores of the St. Lawrence,
that first highway into the unknown
continent of North America. Legends
in which are mingled bits of Indian
4tperstition, French dustoms and
religious beliefs. In the time of the
early explorers, those brave hien 'who
dreamed dreams which led them on
and over the bright waters, past dark
islands, purple hills and shining
cliffs, until they settled in Canada,
these legends were reverenced. Now,
howevee, while large Canadian Pacific
steaenships crowded with tourists
ply up and down the St Lawrence,
the legends are no longer regarded
except as quaint fairy tales with
somewhat of a religious flavour not to
be disregarded or ridiculed, but to be
enjoyed as reminiscent of the olden
days when saints and demons assumed
mortal f °rms. 0
Katherine Hale, in an artistic little
book issued by the Canadian Patific
Railway recently, ably tippicts truoy
of these stories. One t)f the most
familiar of these Prench Canadian
legends is that of Loup-Garou,

Joachim Crete, a miller of Beausejour
was not really a bad man, but he did
jeer at church collections and failed
to try to convert his hired man merely
because he was such a good partner at
checkers. On Christmas night they
played, instead of going to church.
They even, in a mood of defiance, set
the mill going, as if it were an ordinary
night. Suddenly cracki and the mill
stopped working, Then the lantern
went out, and the two men were lett
hi trembling darkness! After that the
hired man tumbled down stairs, and
the miller began to drink fast and
furiously! Presently he heard a deep
moaning, and turned to see a huge
dog about to attack him, Then the
miller knew it was Loup-Oarou, and
he fell on his knees praying for for-
giveness. But he lunged at tho dog
with a reaping hook, and wounded
him. That was the saving of the hired
man, for according to the legend, if
you have been turned into the form
of a wolf or dog because of evil deeds,
only a bloody wound can restore you.
Loup-Garou is one 01 xntny such
legends,
