Ht'X ills Changing Tires Improves Service Changing tires nrnmitl from llmo lo time will result In longer lire life and better all 'round service, 'according to W, (.'. 1'orkins, Fire stone dealer in l.d Orunde. I "When a motoric buys a new Hpu.ro, wo recommend thut ho put It on tho right rear und give thnt tire u rest lor a while," he stated. "Tho tipier tirei should bo changed, loo, left front to left root. elc. Kuoh wheel puts certain straln on u tire dilferent from that of tho 1 other wheels, and by .using the tire j on each in turn tho wear is even ly distributed und the tiro lasts longer and gives bet for service. "It is also important to haveJ 1lre looked over, frequently for minor culri and bruises, etc. and to have small repairs made promptly. Tires should be Inflated to tho oor reef pressure as under-lnflatlon of a few pounds will often result In the loss of hundreds of miles of useful scrlee. Valve caps, screw ed down tightly by hand, should always be used to prevent air leaks.;.

"Now Just a mluule," I Inter rupted. "Vou are an orehardlst oneof the beat arotind here. You have fine. trees and produce good fruit. Mow do you do It? Do you, when you want to protect your trees from pests, go to. the store nnd ask what they havo to sell, or do you buy certain ingredients and mix up your spray aeconling to ihe pesis which threaten?"

"I remeniher n few years ago n djseaxo attacked your fruit trees. It was a new disease to you and your uelghhors. No one seemed to know anything much nhout It.

Forthwith ymi used the remedy ami your 'trees have hewi Tree or that dlseaso ever since. Now if we used the same sort uf huslness reasoning In tho care of our bodies that we do for our fruit trees what would you do about your good wife?" Without waiting for a reply, I lidded; "It. happtMis that. Within a radius of a few ml It's you have as good doctors as you will find in this state. Would it not be good judg ment to send your wife to one of them for a diagnosis and for an outline of treatment, and give her physical well-being as much con sideration as you do your fruit trees?" Harvey pot the point with sud denness that was startling, lie rose from hie phiihv wpnl ItiMlrle the eonl tlvliiK room to the telephone. He was calling the doctor.
