Lo AGA ECT AE Preparing for Winter. In another month or two a large percentage of cars that have been us- ed exclusively for pleasure, will be ~ stored away in buildings of some kind, sort or description. A small per- centage find lodgement in city gar- ages where they are always kept well heated and in excellent condition. A larger proportion, however, are put ~ away in barns or other buildings on the property of the owners. If you intend to do any work upon your "motor during 'the winter months, do not forget that there is a new disease called petromortis. This is caused by the injurious gases filling the air in any garage not properly ventilated.

This mixture will keep radia- tors frcm freezing at zero. If a cold: snap comes and there is danger of the mercury dropping to twenty degrees below, your radiator should have 38, 6, 9, quarts of wood alcohol or denatured alcohol for the small, medium and large sizes respectively. To prevent freezing at thirty-five and forty de- grees below zero, the quantities must be increased to one gallon, two gallons, and eleven quarts. It would also be well to remember that wood alcohol is more effective than the denatured pro- duct under ordinary circumstances, but that at lower temperatures there is very little difference. In using an anti-freeze, first drain the entire cool- ing system and wash it out thoroughly with clean water. When you have added the proper amount of alcohol, fill the radiator to the usual level with clean water, then be sure to run the 'motor a few minutes in order that the solution may be properly mixed. The aleohol has a tendency to evaporate 'more or less rapidly, even in the cold- Lest weather, and more must be added from time to time to keep the solution up to the strength desired. Perhaps a pint every fortnight will be suffici- ent, especially if when running the motor you do not allow the mixture to steam. Some people have secured very good results from adding three or four ounces of glycerine to the solu- tion, aml there can certainly be no harm in following such a course. Most of the good motors are equip- ped with vacuum tank systems. for drawing fuel to the carburetor, and after a season's running this very ex- cellent device may require a certain amount of attention. There are dan- gers to be avoided.--the collection of sediment in the strainer at the top of the tank,--perhaps too, the cover has become slightly loose, ad- mitting air, and the third cause for minor trouble may be the looseness of the connections on the suction pipe at the manifold end or where it joins the vacuum tark itself. Just to sat- isfy yourself that the vaccum system is in good running order, it might be well to give it an overhauling at your earliest. convenience. If everything is found ini satisfactory condition, you have the joy of knowing that the sea- son's work has been satisfactory and that your car, so far as its fuel trans- mission is concerned, is ready for an- other season's work.--"Auto" in Farmer's Advocate. = PROBLEM OF THE DISABLED SOLDIERS. ae The Mother Country Advised to Fol- low Canada's Example. "The London Daily Chronicle, the leading Liberal journal of the Im- perial Capital, gives the most promin- ent place in its issue of Oct. 4 to the following spontaneous and remarkable appreciation of Canada's method of restoring disabled soldiers to active and self-supporting citizenship. In this article the well-known writer, Mr. J. Saxon Mills, goes so far as to suggest that the Mother Country in dealing with this problem might fol- low the example of the Dominion. "We are in danger of thinking that our responsibility for the wounded soldier is fulfilled when he is no long- er fit for military service, and when he is pensioned and discharged from the Army. We may learn much from the admirable system which has been established by the Dominion Govern- ment." By an order in Council, dated June 80, 1915, the formed, at the instance of Sir Robert Borden, .a Military Hospitals and Convalescent Homes Commission, "to deal with the provision of hospital ac- commodation and military convales- cent homes in Canada for officers, | non-commissioned officers and men of | the Canadian Expeditionary Force who, return invalided from the front." The Commission has learnt much by experience, and is to-day undoubtedly working on right lines. At first, the general idea was that convalescent homes, where discharged -- soldiers would spend a short time for rest and refreshment, would be the chief re- quirement, and scores of houses and hundreds of workers were placed at the disposal of the Commission. But this idea was soon dispelled when it was found that the treatment of the disabled soldiers was a more serious and lengthy business. Months or even weeks spent in the atmosphere of such a home would tend to injure rather than strengthen the physical and moral fibre. On this subject Mr. J. S. McLennan, a member of the commission, said: be our convalescent homes into hos- pitals where, in the interests of the men, their time will be fully accupied, their physical restoration made as perfect as possible, and, from the be- obviated by employment." ~ At all these hospitals, schools are eld where training of an elementary | non-vocational character is giv- English, , arithmetic, wood-carving, &c.

Frenzy to be Rich Made Germans Insane, Italian Leader Says. This war will prove the tremendous failure of the German economic policy, says Lingi Leuzatti, former Premier of Italy. After peace she will be confronted. with tariff barriers and the revival of business energy in her hitherto lethargic competitors. The frenzy of gain that induced her to provoke war was absurd from this point of view, because she had only to wait, continuing her upward economic movement, to become one of the richest of peoples. Other Euro- pean nations would not have risked war by raising tariffs against Ger- many. It is the wonderment of the world that a people enriched by forty years of peace, and certain to have become one of the uncontested masters of the world's markets, should suddenly in- terrupt her progress in order to ob- tain a speedier, but problematic wealth. Impatience to hasten her enrich- ment induced Germany to make the 'gambler's throw, which has failed. a oO No Faith in Signs.

Ailment Affects Many Recruits -- Emotion is Chief Cause. A notable controversy is in pro- gress in British medical circles over the problem of "the soldier's heart." It seems that many recruits who pass their medical examinations develop functional heart trouble before they reach the front. One officer, Major Bradshaw, is quoted as saying that they ought to be invalided out of the service. Many noted physicians have taken part in the discussion, some of them attributing the heart trouble to a new germ. Sir James Barr, the distin- .guished Liverpool physician, main- tains, on the other hand, that "sol- dier's heart" is caused by either over- secretion or diminished secretion of the thyroid gland, conditions desig- nated in medical phraseology as_hy- perthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Dr. Barr has summed up his views of this medical problem of the war in rent issue of American Medicine. He expresses the opinion that a deffi- ciency of lime salts inthe soldier's ra- tion is a contributing cause. Emotion is another, and, perhaps, the chief agent in the causation of this condi- tion. % -------- oe eo g The Insect World. _ The insect world represents an unlimited field of life and activity.

Judge is used in two senses, meaning "decide" the second time, Stumblingblock--This is an obstruction put in 'the way, over which a man may fall, especially in the dark. The occasion of falling is generally taken to be practically the same thing, and the Greek word (whence our scandal) is commonly rendered "stumblingblock." More probably it means a trap or snare. The word or here is enough to suggest that the figure is changed. 14. Nothing is unclean of itself may be one of the quotations from these headstrong people who boast- ed their freedom from "feeble prejud- ices." So "all things are pure" (verse 20). "We have faith" (verse 22), "we that are strong" (Rom. 15-1). against their users by the great prin- ciple, ncblesse oblige. Am persuad- ed in the Lord--Paul's . convictions, like all his words, thoughts, and deeds, were "in Christ." Unclean-- Literally, common, as distinguished from "sacred." The inferenc: was drawn from a saying of Jesus that made a peculiarly deep impression, when he swept away tHe distinction between clean and unclean meats: see Mark 7. 19, where the evangelist gives us a solitary comment on his story. We see that the distinction between sacred and profane lies en- tirely in the soul: an act that in one man wculd be impious may be piety in another, and vice versa. 15. Is grieved--Because you eat what he regards as sinful--the prim- ary reference is to "meat offered to idols. Of course the principle vast- ly transcends this application. In these days it especially appeals to men of strong faith and strong minds who have no difficulty in combining mod- ern views with evangelic faith. Let such be very tender of the prejudices of the "weak" who fear all novelties! For whom Christ died--For he died for us all when "weak" (Rom. 5. 6). 16. Evil spoken of--The word of- ten rendered blasphemed; it is wider in Greek than in its English trans- literation. The good here is the Christian freedom which raised them above narrow prejudices. Paul tells them it will provoke grievous (and quite honest) misrepresentation. And as it is about an indifferent matter, not a great principle, the avoidance of such is wise. 17. One of Paul's rare references to the "kingdom." It is specially helpful as being impossible to square with that overstrained view which makes "the kingdom of God" always | future. Compare the great saying of Luke 17. 21. In the Holy Spirit-- The definite article is absent in the Greek. 18. Herein--The word may be gen- eral ("in all this"), or may gram- matically refer back to "your good"; instead of maintaining their rights in the "good thing,' they should "serve Christ" by foregoing it in the interests of the weak brother whom He is not ashamed to call brother, doing this we may win that hardest of all prizes, the pleasing of God and men at once. 19. Let us follow--Compare Heb. 12. 14. Psa. 34. 14 is the common origina! Edify--As in this Latin equivalent, the Greek word contains the metaphor of an "edifice." But it is wearing a little, and the idea of "help" and "advantage" is prominent. Our use of edify is much too narrow. 20. The work of God is the gradual preparation of a human soul for its glorious destiny. To risk the success of such a work because an emancipat- ed but obstinate reformer will insist on eating something which the other thinks wrong--how demnable a wick- edness!

That belief is enough to constitute it sin! 21. Compare: I Cor. 8.18, the climax of a very similar argument, hut concentrated on one particular ap- plication. .

He is mentioned here by his office, as is shown by the quotation attached from Psa. 69. 9--a verse the former half of which was also linked with the life of Jesus (John 2. 17). The speaker in that psalm is the oppressed people of the Jews during some time when pious men felt peculiarly that their trials were on account of their religion: the dark days before the Meccabees came would suit very well. New Testa- ment writers were constantly appro- priating to the Messiah words origin- ally belonging to Israel in its ideal as- By | pect.

OF THE GREAT FRENCH LEADER. Very Deliberate, Thoughtful, and Most Impressive in His Cer- tainty of Victory. lively Many photographs, many the direct gaze, the white moustache, the brooding smile of Gen.

He accompanied his words with a slight movement of his heavy shoulders, as if to give them additional weight. His voice was low, reflective, matter of fact, almost hesitating. " The measured confidence of Joffre is impressive. For him the victory of the allies is as certain as his own mathematics... The movements the planets are not more imevitable than the defeat of Germany--such, at least, is the certitude which emanates from this deep, taciturn, powerful personality. I ever met, Joffre impressed me as being absolutely devoid of personal ambition. I cannot imagine him in politics. One has the feeling, even as it is, that his successive advances must have been less sought for than thrust upon him, and that he had accepted them only reluctantly, from a sense of duty. This duty accom- plished, the sooner he escapes fom the public eye, the better, I take it, he will be pleased. Ambitious men, we are told, more dynamic power than others whose aims. are less exalted. But with such men their own desires come before everything else. Na- poleon was a good thing for France, just so long as France's interests coincided with his own. As for Joffre, every ounce of power that is in him, every volt of ambition, is for France. For himself, if I have understood him, he asks nothing. o, .

Then the inmates of the Perry Municipal Prison complained they were so well fed that they suffered from dyspepsia, owing to their lack of exercise, The men imprisoned for their part in the municipal scandals at Pitts- burg, Penn., presented a burlesque in which they guyed one another for the parts they had taken in the corrup- tion.
