"Nine days without a drink is
nothing to a storage battery," says
Mr. Mansveld, the local Willnrd ex
pert at the Inland Auto Company's
garage. "I've seen batteries go thirs
ty two or three times as long as that."
"But the wise man who makes a
point of giving his battery a drink of
distilod water every time It needs it,
to keep the level 1-2 Inch above the
top of the plates, will be served with
better lights and quicker stnrt and a
longer run. There are not many
things that a battery needs in the
way of care, but distilled waltr is one
of the few necessities."
