Motorists Must Save Oil or the Price Will Soar Beyond Reach A Waist of One-Half Gallon per Touring Car per Day Means Million a Year

Some persons think that what they do with their money or what they purachase with their money is any person's business says Richard Spillane In the Philadelphia Public

Ledger.

They are mistaken. A lot of persons are buying gasoline. Through gross waste this shortage is made more acute than it should If not checked the price of gasoline will he forced to a heigh' that will compel many persons to lay up

their cars.

The automobile is of great utility.; It gives opportunity to many millions of person.*—men. women and children —to get «ut Into the country to have recreation and pleasures that otherwise would be difficult for them to obtain. It Is a g -eat agency in the promotion of goes' roads. It is a great agency, too. in the promotion of good health. Anything tha> restricts its use is of public concern. Those who Lave studied the subject say one-half a gallon of gasoline per car is wasted today through carelessness. throur 1 oven «e of cars and thn-agh useless mileage. This means y.000.000 gallons a day. This has to be stopped or toe price of gasoline will stop the ust of tens of thousands of cars. It will atop

A waste of one-half gallon of gasoline per passenger car per day means 1.095,000.000 gallons a year. Wow! One gallon ot gasoline will provide the energy .. move a one-ton track 15 miles, or to put It another way. It will move 15 tons of freight one mile.

Emus Here Nest in the Winter

“Many emus have been in the New York Zooologlcal Park, but it it is only in recent years that they have been Induced to bre-d here." writes Lee S. Crandall. Curator of Birds of»the New York Zoological Park, in article on “The Troubles of Father Emu," in a recent Issue of Boys' Life. “In 1914 new quarters for our emus became available. Including several acres of |>astnre. divided into two three large corrals. They had not been there long when the deep-tones booming of courtship wxs heard. In Australia we find our seasons reversed. Summer is the antipodes and spring being correspondingly upset.

Fighting Insects in the Home 1 inject pests in the home are a uace to health and life and the sooner and more energetically the campaign for their extermination lr. carried on the less work there will lo do. Emma Gary Wallace in May Good House*«ep!ng says: ‘If for any reason, the family cat or dog has brought flews Into the house, which have found a pleasant habitation In the nap of your fovor ite carpet, vacuum-cl rwn it thoroughly, close up the room, and place a fresh sheet of sticky ay-paper in the middle of the floor with a little chunk fresh meat In the middle. Or, if you wish, you can cut the sticky flypaper Into quarters and pit them in different locations in the room with the bait in the middle of each. Fleas are attracted by the odor of frewh meat and will Jump to reach it. If the fly paper is large enough so that they do not make the island of food at a single bound, ib-y will be canght In the sea of the stick} surface about it A few days of this treatment will be sufficient to catch them all."

Baths for the Eye For the daily care of the eyes there ■ should be two baths. The body ; 1 have Its bath. The face must have It* cleansing. Why not the eye? Especially as the eye , with ita thick lid and the fringe of the eyotaahes is a dust rap, and the slightest speck of dus; allowed • > remain beneath the lid may Irritation of the lid and !nflamaUon of the eye. For the eye's daily bath I offer you the choice of several lotions. My fv vorite Is: Ten ounces of pure* troi-e-water. Apply with an eye cup, tuning the eye cup upside down so that the half open eye is completely washed by the contents of the cup Hold It thus for 30 seconds, or. If not uncomfortable. for a full minute. Throw away thls rosewater. Rinse the glass and give the eye a second bath. If the eves arc unduly Irritated the bath can be repeated several times. Ordinarily a bath In the morning on rising and another at night on retiring

are enough.

Some of my friends who have beautiful eyes prefer elderflower to rosewater. It Is equall.- rood and should be applied In the same way. Another excellent bath is one-half p.n ouce of with hard: one-half an once of distilled water. Shake well In bottle and apply with an eye cup. One other bath I must tell about that is most excellent for strengthening the eyes: 8!x drops of boracic acid, one wineglass of distilled water. A bath in borax water 1* highly beneficial and has the advantage of being always convenient. Even while traveling one may always carry a box of borax. Moreover. It Is safe, because borax will only form a 4 per cent solution, that Is only 4 per cent of it will be absorbed by water. A borax bath Is very strengthening. If the eyes are delicate or the person so prejudiced against experiments thst she Is not willing to Introduce thi* substance directly into the eyes, a silk handkerchief or a soft clath dipped in borax water and pressed upon the eye- i lids Is both efflcacli as and soothing. The old-fashioned remedy of cold tea leaves pressed opon the lids has value, not from the tea leaves intrin ically, but from the cool, moist contact. Cloths dipped in wstcr are quite as good.—New York Americ.vn.

The Most Exclusive Club in America The most exdusiv. value In America Is the least known; It never meets and Its members are always present. This paradox Is explained In an silicic “The Lifers' Club" In the May Good Housekeeping. “The Ltfera’ Club consists of men who must walk lock-step to the grave. The grizxled gray beard wbo has spent a quarter of a century behind thick p.lson walls and the eighteen-year old murderer wbo Is Just oeglnnlng upon the bleak stretch of vears that He ahead of him are its members. 'The Lifers' Club was established by the Salvation Army three years ago in behalf of the men and women “up for always." “The club is in essence an expression of the feeling shared by the most advanced penologists and welfare workers about all prisoners, including lifers, at the present time"
