Sweetness and Purity of Its Appear-
ance Intimately Associated With
Length of Its Life—Don't* for
Caretaker.
The life and health of a motor ear.
like pidllness in men, is closely ukin
to rlig^iilluess, writes I)r. Leonard
Keerie Hirshberjf of .Inldis Hopkins
university in American Motorist. The
sweetness und purity of its appear-
ance is intimately associated with the
length of its life, the friction and
well being of its component anatomy.
You cannot keep your car too clean
or the sheen on its body loo well
polished.
Motorists ere now are familiar with
the axiom, "Spread yourself in oil und
save your metal." This Is only the
application li> the motor car of the
overworkPfUaml ntfc-old allusion to
medical mlM^o, "An ounce of preven-
tion will save a pound of cure."
Show me a dust-filled, dirty, soiled
machine, arid 1 will make tire prophecy
of a short shift and rapid depreciation
of the car. I>lrt, lack-luster and a
dulled car body spell worse than rapid
loss of value.'
Don'ts for Caretaker.
Among the don'ts for the caretaker
of a car are these:
Never run ilkf car In the mud If
ou to escape It
foo of machin-
ery.
Never use rough cloths with which
to wipe, dean or polish your car.
Never fise an excess of oil or body
polish. It collects dust and turns Into
grit. i
Never use muddy or soiled water
with which to wash your cur.
Never fold a top down when It Is
wot.
Never allow mud to remain on n
car one moment longer than Is abso-
lutely possible.
Never allow mud, if possible, to dry
on the our. Wash off Immediately with
cold water.
Never dig. scrape, chisel or shovel
mud from the polish. It destroys the
varnish and paint.
Never use force for any purpose.
A weak solution of soda will cajole
the toughest mud and grease from the
body.
Never dry the surface with soapy
water on It. Rinse all soup and soap-
suds off before drying.
Never employ a roundabout circu-
lar rotary motion in polishing the car.
A straight out. hack und forth, piston
thrust Is what should be used.
Polish for the Body.
Never accept Tom, IHck und Harm's
"sure restorer" of the original factory
sheen and luster. Mark Twain said
that everybody has a "certain cure for
colds." So almost every driver and
garage keeper Implicitly avows his
body polish to lie the best for ffie cur."
I>end riicii tell no tales; nofmor fiooa
the Injured finish on a car. .
Shun all such as Billy Sunday flees
Old Nick. Instead buy sonie boiled
linseed oil; never use the unboiled. It
will not do. Also some furniture wax,
rind let elbovy grease do the rest. The
varnished part Is first washed, clean-
ed, rinsed nnd dried, then the boiled
oil Is lightly applied and rubbed com-
pletely off. The lighter metal parts
can be still further finished with the
furniture wax massaged to u highly
lustrous finish.
ltough, heavy soap, full of alkali,
also eats Into the varnish and coats of
the body. You will avoid this in mani-
curing your car by heating a gallon
of water into which is stirred a pound
and a half of soap. This is your stock

DIM HEADLIGHT WHILE IDLE
| Waste of Current Drawn Direct Front
Battery and Wasteful Use of
Lamps—Glare Not Pleasant.
Wear and tear on the storage bat-
tery of a car Is too much of an Item
to be Ignored, and everything that
tendsTO keep it down is worthy of con-
sideration. One very good thing not
to do Is to leave the headlights burn-
ing at full Intensity when the car Is
standing. Not only js It a waste of
current, which Is drawn direct from
I lie battery, and a waste of the life of
the lamps, but the glare Is apt to have
an unpleasant effect upon the eyes of
people forced to face it.

SAW HIS ERROR TOO LATE
Misfortune Convinced Tommy He Had
Used Salt Water on Wrong Por-
tion of His Anatomy.
Tommy Tonkins was keen on baseball
and particularly ambitious to make Ida
mark ns a catcher. Any hint, however,
swall, was welcomed If It helped on
his advance In this department of the
game. When he began to have trouble
with his hands, nnd somebody suggest-
ed soaking thorn In salt water to hard
on the skin, he quickly followed the
ndvlcc. Alas! a few days Inter Tommy
had a misfortune. A hit at the bot-
tom of the garden sent the bull crash-
ing through a neighbor's sitting-room
window. It was the third Tommy had !
broken since the season began.
Mrs. Torklns nearly wept in anger !
when Tommy broke the news.
"Yer fnther 'II skin yer when he i
comes homo tonight!" she said.
Poor Tommp went outside trembling
to reflect. Ills thoughts traveled to the !
punitive strap hanging In the kitchen '
and he eyed his hands ruefully.
"Ah!" be murrtiured, with a sigh. "I '
made a big mistake. I ought to have [
sat In that salt and wafer."
