Starting Trouble

The starting motor receives its current from rthe battery through brushes. and/it sometimes happens that these brushes are not making

the proper ontact. for various rea- sons, and hen they_do not there will be a rtain amount of failure

in the functioning of the system. When - s ch ~trouble i is experienced. inspect tEn brushes carefully.

A third cause of trouble is that a grairr of grit or foreign matter has become lodtzed hat-ween the contact points of the switch.

‘ Contact Point

. The loosencss of ,1any connection in the ignition system will cause a cer- tain amount of trouble. but a con- nection that is seldom considered is where the timgsten contact point is riveted to the ititerruptcr arm. In practically all battery ignition sy- stems. the nrimtry current from the ignition switch flows through the in- terrupter arm. across the contact point-s and then to the ground. The rabid breaking cf the contact points induces a high tension current in the roll which is delivered by the distributor to the respective cylin- tiers. A loose contact at this ooiu! i= therefore a loose connection in iiie primary rircllit and will cause the same troubles as would be caus- ed by loos es: ir. any other part.

The character of a tappet knock is s brisk tap. and it is caused by excessive clearance. a ber’ valve stem sticking. flat and out-of-round rollers. or a valve. seat that is‘ not. square. Again. it may be caused by a combination of these troubles If it is discovered that excessive clearance is the cause. it can be re- medled very easily by adjusting.

Adjusting Brakes

If the brakes are adjusted too tikhtiy when the car is without its usual load. the brakes will bind just as soon as the car is loaded and the wheel base slightly extended. and of course they will not function as dc. sired. , A i-oueh road will increase the trouble. The brakes should be adlustod at a time when the car con- tains its average load.

PREVEN

T TRAFFIC FILM

Traffic film. that discolored sur- face that convinces the motorist that ‘the car finish is "gone." ‘collects more readily in Winter. It is a'com- binatlon of oil-laden exhaust fumes and the ordinary dirt and dust that

in the atmosphere. The sure preventive is to polish the car per- iodlcally.

EFFECTIVE CHOKE USE

‘There is but one way to use the choke effectively in starting. That is to pull it well out before step- ping on the starter.

HAND CRANKING HELPS

One good way to find out just what a terrific task is imposed upon the battery in cold weather starting is to take a turn or two on the en- gine with the handcrank. Incid- entally, the motorist who does so will find that it helps amazingly in assuring an easy start.

TURNING WHEEL SUDDENLY

Front-wheel skids, than .which there is no more dangerous variety. usually are the product ~of turning the steering wheel suddenly. Twist- ing ii: quickly on a dry pavement and on a slippery one is far different.

DELAY DECLUTCHING

Four-wheel brakes have not chant:- ed things so_far as using the engine as a brake is concerned. Contrary to this opinion. held by some motor- _ists .todav‘s engine is even a better brake. ‘That is why it continues to be a good practice. in stunning. not to touch the clutch until the car is dust about to come to a stpp.

WORTH ‘IEEMEMBERING

The more volatile the gasoline us- ed in r-old weather the less diluted the encine lubricating oil is likely to become.

CHECK SHOCK ABSORBERS

Winter with its cold weather does not change the fact that some hy- draulic shock absorbers need period- ic attention as to the amount of oil. and its quality. The greater rough- ncss of snow covered streets and highways gives the shock absorber more to do, consequently there is more friction or heat. and the likeli- hood of a greater loss of‘oil.

Influenza’s Victims

Left Weak. Miserable and a lfrey to Disease in Many Forms.

One of the most treacherous dis- cases afliictirig the people of Canada during the winter months is influ- enza. It almost invariably ends with a complication of troubles. Its vic- tims suffer with alternate fevers and. chills. headaches 'and backachcs. It leaves them an easy prey to bron- chitis and pneumonia. Indeed, the deadly after effects of influenza may leave the victim a chronic invalid. You can avoid influenza entirely by keeping the blood rich and red by the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. If you have not done this and the disease attacks you. you can banish its deadly after effects through, the use of this great blood-building. nerve-restoring tonic.

Here is proof of the power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills over this trou- ble. Mr. 1"‘. I-I. McMullcn. Bclicvilie. Ont.. says:—"Some years ago. fol- lowing a severe attack of influenza. I was left in such a wcak condition that my friends thought I would not gct better. - l developed nervous i,n- digestion. and my blood got thin and watery. In this weakened condition I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. and ihcse did what other medicine had failed to do-brought me back to health and strength. I can honestly say I think them thc best blood builder and nerve tonic known. and I shall always praise them." I

You can get the pills from your druggist. or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co; Brockville. Ont; "

Almost anything‘ can go into the soup kettle. If it isi different it will make a new flavor, and that is fine culinary avt. Some of the ingredients of soup are chopped parsey. parsnips. corn. tomatoes. turnips. cabbage. celery, onions, spinach, beans, peas. aspara- gus. mangoes and any other vege- tables. Ricc, barley. gumbo or flour are uscd far thickening. For season- ing‘, ti," meat sauces. pepper. corns. ginger. alspicc. bay icaf. mace, lem- on juicevincgar cc.cry seed or celery salt. Bullion is clear soup usually of beef or chicken. It is little more than flavored water. and is some- times made by boiling the bones. Of- tcn rice or bailey is added to it for substance. Delicate soups are made of creamed asparagus. corn or celery. Tomato soup is a universal favorite. Oyster soup is an elegance and very nutritious when made of whole milk and generously seasoned with butter. Common and old-fashioned though they are. there is nothing much bet-
