Water minerals might damage the battery or at least interfere with its proper ac- tion.” LESSON IN GENTLE BRAKING No Quicker or Certain Way of Sending Tire to Junkman Than to Stop With Jerk. Apply the brakes considerately and the car will soon show Its gratitude, because gentle brake application re duces the strain on tires, wheels, springs and other parts. If the brakes are applied with full force at least one, if not both rear wheels are likely to lock, and in sliding along the ground a noticeable amount of rubber is scraped from the tire at the point where It contacts with the ground, There is no quicker nor more certain way of sending tires quickly to a rub bish heap or the junkman, Harsh brake application wears the brake lin- ing unduly ahd pulls and racks the whole ear. Much greater economy will be obtained and much less trouble will be experienced if the brakes are used as sparingly as possible. v PABA AAA AIA PA IA bE Ol El YOU AUTO KNOW That ordinary soap should not be used on the highly polished surface of the body of the car, because soap usually contains free alkall or lye which enables it to cut the dirt and grease loose, but, at the same time, io- jures the varnished surface and wears off the attractive gloss which is the pride of the new car owner. The best method Is to use a hose alone, removing the nozzle so that the flow of water comes out-slowly and does not tear the grit against the gloss of the car, If a hose is not avallahle, a large sponge and a pail of water may be used, but care should be taken to rinse the sponge after practically every stroke, In order to avold scratching the finish. A mixture of a gallon of linseed oil with a half-pint of good var- nish makes an excellent renewal agent for a surface which begun ,to dull.

SHEARS NEEDED IN KITCHEN More Efficient for Shredding Lettuce, Peppers or Celery Than Ordinary Knife, A pair of shears of medium size, not necessarily new, have a very definite place in the kitchen, For shredding lettuce, peppers, or celery, shears do the work better and more quickly than a knife.

Hot-water products can hardly be expected to be as good, either in texture or in flavor, as are those canned in sirup. But fruits canned in thelr own julces are often high- ly satisfactory for jelly making, pie filling, salads and other uses, particularly if they are very ripe and sweet, For instance, peaches, naturally high in sugar content, may seem as sweet when canned without sugar as do acid peaches canned in a 40 per cent sirup. * & ee - * All Around Ze House Dull filles are sharpened when laid in dilute sulphuric acid. . * =» When cutting che straws, make a few rings and put a half dozen straws through each ring. se ® @ 1f a pan of cold water Is placed un- der cake when ng in the gas oven it will never burn on the bottom. . 8 @ Let water run for a few minutes before filling the kettle in the morn. ing, as the water In tie pipes is un wholesome, i - » i Kentucky's senility freak, who had not the driveling old exploited him as the “oldest man on earth,” the normal accidents of worn-out Individuals of any species.
