"international drinkers" when America adopts pro hibition in July has not been deter mined, despite some leanings in this direction. - ' .- ' '. v A movement recently was started . to have passport restrictions remov - ed, throw open the, international : bridge and run week-end excursion . trains into Mexico. It was proposed to establish .big gambling houses. cockpits.. bull-rings and pretentious - drinking emporium's. American bus iness men vigorously protested on the ground that the trains passing thru American towns would bring only a reputation for, lawlessness. : Medical authorities predict that unrestricted border traffic would have a serious affect on- the army's campaign against disease. AH- suspicious visitors from Mex- lco are searched by customs officers for contraband liquor. As a result . of this strict supervision, mezcal, a highly Intoxicating Mexican drink that formerly sold for 50' cents a quart, now brings $10 a quart here when obtainable from illegal dealers.

(1-3: Daily Health Talks What Jot;tor Pierce Has Pone;U . ij For Humanity! ;. r v . ; BY DR. CR1PPS. - It has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,. N, Y.,, should be placed near the top when a list of America's great benefactors Is writ ten. He' studied and conquered hu man diseases', to; a degree that few realize. " Whenever he found a rem- edy that overcame disease, he at once announced' it. in the newspapers and told where it could foe bought at a : small price. He did not follow the usual custom of lieeping the ingre- . dlents secret; so that the rich" only could afford to buy the medicine, but openly printed the name of. each roof and herb ho used. And so today the names of Dr. Pierce and his med ic! nea are widely known, and .they Btnnd for better health and tietter citizenship. '-:'. One "of this great physician's most successful remedies is known as Doc tor IPierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are . little, sugar-coated pills, com posed of 'Mayapplo, leaves of aloe, root' of Jalap things ? that nature grows in the ground. . These Pollets are safe becauso they move the bow . ols 'gently, leaving no. bad' - after effects, as so many pills do. Very often they make a peraon tyho" takes them feel like a new man or woman, for they cleanse the intestines of hard, decayed and polBonous matter that accumulates when one Is costive If you are constipated, by all means ko to your druggist and got some of Dr. Ploree's Pleasant Pellets.

On July , 31st, 1918, President Wilson ordered a committee appointed under the United States Fuel Administration to establish' specifications and standards of test for gasr oline supplied to the Government.' This committee consisted of the United States Fuel Administration and representatives of th War and Navy Departments,, the United, States Shipping Board, the Director General of Railroads, the Bureau of Mines, and the Bureau of Standards. Standards were adopted for aviation gasoline ' (export, fighting and domestic) and for general motor use on land and sea.' , ' 'i ' The Gravity Test Discarded i ' The Government's Committee on Standardi sation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its "report : "It will be noted that there are no grav ity limitations in the specifications for aviation gasoline,- nor in the specifications for motor " gasoline which are given' later, for it has been, . found that gravity is of little or no value in de termining the quality of gasoline." The stand ards adopted by the United States Government are based on boiling points. ?. Boiling Points the Real Test " Gasoline is known to the refiner as one mem ber of the petroleum family. He. distinguishes teach member of the family, not by gravity, but Dy bomng points : Oravtty is a fleeting stand ard of test, but boiling points are .unchanging irr their value and always determine tnc quality of the product. Knowing them the refiner can . krtp his product uniform and reliable. ' "N storage by evaporation would be great.' , There must be juBt enough low boiling points' to va porize freely and give easy starting. The higher boiling points are necessary for quick accelera tion, high power and long mileage. As combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas, the con tinuous chain of boiling points from the low to the high Is necessary for instantaneous, full-powered combustion. Only a straight-distilled, all-refinery gasoline can have the contin uous, uniform chain of boiling points. ' The United States Government 'S?! Standard Soccifxcations "for Gasoline ' iji'.What Is a Boiling Point? 1 1 'X A boiling point is the temperature at which' s ' a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.. " ' Y. In distilling a given quantity of gasoline the ,'tefiner. ascertains at what point each . 10 per . cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap orated or distilled... In this way he determines iswhat is known-as the initial boiling point, as i' , well as all intervening boiling points in- the chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point. Boiling Points Tell the Story Boiliner points determine the vaporizing and ' ' combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide the action of the' gas developed from gasoline. They arc the pnly true measure of gasoline- ..value... ... - ; .- .. . An ideal gasoline has boiling points in a con tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too .many low. boiling points, otherwise the loss in The United States Government Standard specifications for gasoline are based oh boiling points not gravity. Drafted as they were by imnartlal Government eimerta. thv cm crnnr !a ' ally considered, in the light of conditions today, , as the most, practical standard for gasoline.
