' The Human Automobille "All rules of success overlook the most es sential element Getting started, therefore use a self-starter on your human automobile. "Use the brakes of patience and self-Control. "Put large quantities of Hope in the groase cups. "Use the perseverance brand of gasoline as motive power instead of hot air. "Have the timer properly set Early. "Have the carburetor properly adjusted admitting- a mixture of equal parts of earn estness and will power. "Use the primer of enthusiasm. "Best results can be had by using the four cylinders of knowledge: "The knowledge of self. "The knowledge of company. "The knowledge of your goods. "The knowledge of men. "Advance the sparker of ambition for more speed. "Open wide the throttle of faith in your self, your company and your calling to secure more power. "Polish with powder of Courtesy. "Use stick-to-it tires on non-discouragement rims. "Use the Golden Rule steering wheel. "Put on Search-lights of character. "With the foregoing equipment the hu man automobile will take every hill of dis appointment and discouragement on high gear." The above is O. K.

' In tlie use of wnx polishes the flrat j step la to clean the body of the cur thoroughly. The polish Is applied to , the lurfure with a piece of cheee cloth and then another clean cloth Is osed to distribute the wax evenly all over the surface. Cnr owners com monly mnne the mlstoke of thinking thnt the more wa applied the better. As a matter of fuct a very thin film ta all that la needed. Washing the car Is not the casual Job some owners seem to Imagine. To beidn with, the car should be washed Immediately after It has been dirty. If mud Is allowed to remain on the var nished surface more than a day It la difficult to eradlcnte It. For the wash ing plain wuter should be used, neither too hot nor to cold, nbout 60 degrees Fahrenheit being tlie proper tempera' ture. A large spongo soaked In clear water and then sopped against the aur- fuce so that the water trickles down Is best. Never turn a stream of water at high pressure on the body. Use Chamois for Drying. In doing the body a clean chamois skin should be used, rubbing being done In straight lines. If spots of tnr or roud oil are found on the body It Is best to trent them with salt butter or kerosene. The butter softens the de posit so Uint It may be wiped of easily. Kerosene should he applied locally and wiped off within a minute. To keep puce with the improved ap pearance of the body It Is necessary ro give some attention to the top and the upholstery. A weekly brushing of tlieitop, Inside and out, will aid mn- rlnlly In Its life. Fabric tops should never be cleaned with gnsollno, kero rene or other oils, us they tend to le- tm.v the rubber In the top. Custlle soap and water applied with a stilt brush Is the best cleansing medium for 'the top. Fundamental Fea tures of Electric Storage Battery lly W. It. Ilroun. There iruhnlily Is no otp.cr pImkIc electrical device In general use about which there Is ho much popular mis conception as the storaxe haitory, or accumulator, as It Is morn technical ly known. It docs not within Itself create, a current of electricity - as does a prl mury battery, such ns the familiar dry cell, In which a chemical procrrs actually generates a current of elec tricity, and for this reason tlie stor age, buttery Is called a secondary battery. The word storage. In connection with this type of battery Is really a trade nnmc, as this process by which It absorbs electricity and re delivers It Is not mm of storage In any sense iff the word, hut consists of chemical conversion add re conversion upen a reserviil of conditions.

It Is the new foot disease. liut don't be nlurined ; It Is not at all serious. The disease la always acquired In the accelerator foot, the appendage that shoves the car over the road tit fast clip. Continued pressure of the foot on the iirrelorutor button causes a dlNpliicenient of the metatar sal bones, declare physicians who have diagnosed cases that hnve been brought to their attention. Its effects are not serious. Ite.st Is the only cure. One Day Turns Trick. More than one motorist returns home limping In one day, doctors aver. ong trips cause strains on the car and the driver. The strain on the accelerator foot sets up n nervous Ir ritation that results In pain, and as result tlie driver ohnnilous his car with a limp every time be walks. The disease Is commonly known ns the "motor foot," but Is terhnb allv called the "metatarsal displacement." The limp usunlly develops In the right foot, for few drivers are "left- fooied." The disease usually follows long overland trip, through which the driver has remained steadily at his post, nml never has thought to give the pedal extremity a rest. Swell Doctors' Coffers.
