Never poke the delicate cores of a radiator with a wire or tool to re- - move mud or dust which is plastered t e red •c M the tiny chamber.. The best way to remove these accumulations is `o wash them out by raising the hood and applying a hose stream of mod- . erate force from the hood space out- wardly through the core. 'COLOR-BLANDNESS''—A Menace With the constant increase in traffic, the value of good eyesight to the driver is becoming recognized as one of the most important needs of the road. So-called "color-blind• ness," it is declared, has become a grave source of peril with the system of light signals a ruling factor in the regulation of traffic. DISTANCES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. The distance covered by cars at various speeds per second are as follows: 15 miles an hour -22 feet per second. 20 miles an hour -25 feet per second. 25 miles an hour -36 feet per second. 30 miles an hour -44 feet per second. 35 miles an hour -51 feet per second. 40 miles an hour -58 feet per second. 45 miles an hour -66 feet per second. SEASON FOR DEADLY GAS. Once again warning given to au- tomobile owner, who attempt to start the engine wihin the warm, closed enrage during the winter months. Carbon monoxide gas is a trtatcherous poison, and strikes with- out warning. Lack the car out of the atrage to work around it or at least open the doers wide and . that tb• re i panty of ventilation of tines.

With the coni :_ of cold weath:r it i; important that the radiator should be. perfectly clear in order to avert freezing. There is. always trouble in store for the motori>t who operate,, a ear with a clogged radis- tor. A radiator is designed to funs. tion properly on the car. It' part of its radiating surface i- cut off thro- ugh clogging it is not functioning properly, In the winter, if a radia- tor is clogged the sections through which water cannot circulate are more likely to freeze. The water, passing through a much more limited space than provided for by the en - gineE,rs in de.signing the radiator, i not reduced to the proper tempera tor, before it reenter, the water jac kat. This naturally causes the water to boil. If this should take place, there is cerrous danger ofdamaging the engine. Burned -out bearings, , scored cylinders, fouled spark plugs and excessive carbonization may be looked for, due to overheating of the engine. In addition to being an un- sightly thing in itself, a leaky radia- tor is bour to build up expense. If taken in hand when the leak first develops the expense is small, but if neglected, in addition to causing a more expensive repair bill, it is bo- und to build up a repair bill on the engir. e. FOR EFFICIENT ENGINE OPE. RATION. The operating efficiency of an en- gine depends on the condition of the interior of the radiator. Make It a rrgular practice of flushing out the cooling system with water or an al- kaline solution so as to keep the in- side surfaces clean and allow the hot water to deliver its heat readily to the metal of the core. OVERHAULING THE CAR. The complete overhauling of a car —that is, the taking apart, cleaning, adjusting and replacing worn parts of every mechanical unit and auxil- iary in the car each season, which was customary in the old days, is un- necessary in the modern car, pr'o• vicled the machine has been properly lubricated and minor adjustments e d nianded then. made when thene d P.attl: s or knocks may develop. but will be diu•overed as soon as they occur if a weekly inspection is given b;; the motori,t and should be attend. { +,, and remedied at once. Of co. ::r.,•, when the car is very cid and reached itsdimit of service, gen' ,:1 overhaulin • may be necessary, a?ti eu rh even then there may be fart- in fair condition. Leakage around the spark plug is d: tested by hissing sound and the _acation of the leak may be found by -,a it•ting a =mall quantity oil or the suspected points. The oil will bubble at the leak. The pr'inripa1 parts w•hkh nave o r{!rett bearing on the starting of an engine are: Battery. starting' motor, carburetor, spark plugs, ignition system and valves.

Phone 22 Lirriited Nasimmenmammaismommassr It may seem a little early in the season to talk of selecting next spring's breeders, but this is of such importance that is must be borne in mind early in the season, if best res• ults are to be secured. Early in the growing season the poultryman should have marked "for the block" till those chickens that hail shown the character for slow fea- thering or any constitutional weak- ness. There will thus he reserved for breeders, only cockerels from high laying dams that have laid large eggs, This latter is of great importance as there is unquestionably a tendo• ncy to diminution in the size of the egg, where selection has been follow- ed for high production, without due care to also select for size of eggs. During the latter part of the sum- mer and early fall it will have been noticed that there were cockerels that had -developed sexually ver early. These cockerels almost inva- riably finish up as "ponies". in other words, although they look large early in the season they be - conte set in their growth, and do not make birds of normal size at matu- rity, Cockerels of that kind should not retained as breeders, as their offspring will have a tendency to mature in the manner. They will lay early, before they i -each proper body growth, and consequently lay small eggs throughout life, To summarize, the breeding male should be the son of a high laying, large egg hen, He should be well grown, of good size for his breed, and above all should be vigorous. While vigor may be denoted in every pert of the bbd, in the broad back - sleep body, the well set legs and gen- eral action, and in the nervone force, the, paramount requirement in Mt egg breeding male, is indicated by the bright. prominent, piercing eye set- in a clean cut file. This is the kind of male that will give results. .44 3 y n y h �� 7 ��. drtx i t of 3 ,-wHH�H�4,�,1NHH�H�H�H- _ .{:�3:»';�+:»; «: a!q»:»'c.Mt:_:7:3;7; » �2»;�I+;�:+; «:»'.H»;» ;t;[di+;•+' .,.................... o,k��3�?HP+k+I�+P+E»I 2�2»2�$' Honey is one of the few uncooked. pure and natural foods in its class that remains. But because it is too frequently allowed to go the market in an unclassified or ungraded man- ner, it is often overlooked by the purchaser. Since there are so many different kinds of honeys, and so many indi- vidual tastes, it is important that, when buying honey, the purchaser should know what he or she is get- ting. For example, buckwheat as a table honey, is disliked by many people, while on the other hand, many people prefer it to any other. It is perfectly good honey but it does not stilt the palate in some cases. The only way to make sure that the pur- chaser is getting what is liked best, is to have the quality or grade mark- ed on the container. Because in these days so much of the food -stuff consumed is graded and labelled, any commodity, such as honey, that is not graded, is fre- quently overlooked by the housewife when purchasing her provisions. When purchasing a can of peaches, one can see the quality marked on the label, or when buying jams one can see the kind clearly marked on the label, leaving no doubt in ones mind concerning the quality of such purc- hases. When it comes to buying honey, unless it be graded—and much of it is not—one must make a stab in the dark, hoping that it will prove to be good white clover honey (should that happen to be the kind preferred). Now if honey were to be graded, the purchaser would be assisted in making his choice of, kinds. Furthermore, he soon gets to know what kind he prefers, and will return for more.

THE AGED GOLF BALL He was a very painstaking golfer, and it took him three hours to reach the fifteenth hole, where he drove into the rough. After a long search the caddie located the ball which the played examined. "No," he said, "this isn't mine. This is a very old ball." "Yes," said the boy in exhausted tones, "but i don't forget it's a long time since wo started out, sir." IMAGINARY General: "Look here, my man, why don't you be careful?" Army Clerk: "What is wrong, sir?'- General: "Why, instead of addres- sing this letter to the 'Intelligence Officer,' you have addressed it to the 'Intelligent gent Officer,' You should know there is no such person in the army."

And where, one may ask, is the pro- per Chrisimas spirit 'novo truly observable and more thoroughly enjoyed than in England, Back in the dim middle egos Christmas was an English institution and it came down the centuries losing nothing of its charm although customs of celebra- tion changed a little now and then as time went by, But Christmas remained ~English and Is to -day as English as ever wherever English people are gathered. Outside the British Isles there le no place so English as Victoria.

States, II the Sale 5 Lo, the people of the earth do me homage. 1 ase the herald of success for men, merchants, manufacturers, municipalities and nations. I go forth to tell the world the message of service and sound merchandise. And the world lis- tens when 1 speak. There was a day long ago, when by sheer weight of superior merit, a business could rise above the common level without me, but that day has passed into oblivion. For those who have used me as their servant I have gathered untold millions into their coffers. Sell More Merchandise per dollar of salary paid me than any other sales- man on the face of the earth. The fabled lamp of Aladdin never called to the service of its master genii half so rich and powerful as I am, to the man Who keeps me constantly on his payroll. Hold the B shiess of the seasons in the hollow of my hand, I com- mand the legions of fashion, mold the styles and lead the world whithersoever I go. I drive unprin- cipled business to cover, and sound the death -knell of inferior merchandie. Frauds are afraid of me be- cause I march in the broad light of day. Whoever tikes Th-'`ir Servant for life takes no chances on drawing down dividends from my untold treasures bestowed with a lavish hand. I have awakened and inspired nations, set mil- lions of men to fight the battles of freedom beyond the seas and raised billions of dollars to foot the bilis. Nations and kings pay me homage and the business world bows at my feet. I sow broad fields for you to reap a golden harvest.
