Profits by Experience. V'o experienced motorist remcni-t,rr- troubles of otlier years and sets n!i. nit lo profit by it. He takes his car into the service station and has it checked over and whatever work nec-t- 'ary done. Next he visits his bat-lory bat-lory in. hi, if the s'Tvice station does not operate a hailory department, and i noes liial his battery is In good con. tliiion. A flood battery is more essential essen-tial dtirinj; the winter months than liny other lime of the year.

It is estimated esti-mated that in ordinary service tho buttery Is called on to do 50 per cent more work than during the summer. In the matter of oil care should be used. A lighter oil Is recommended lor winter. Likewise It should be changed more often because the frequent fre-quent use of the choke in starting a i old motor means that there is going In be more or less crankcu.se dilution, which destroys the lubricating quail-ties quail-ties of Ihe oil. Use Antifreeze Mixture. I-'. very motorist puts one of the nu merous antifreeze mixtures in Ids radiator. ra-diator.

It is well id lids time to examine the hose con i eciinns, and if the car has had con-(idt con-(idt ruble service it might not be a bad I. let, to replace them, because the rub-I rub-I er has n tendency to disintegrate, lints impeding the circulation. Trakes should be adjusted, for during dur-ing bad weather more dependence iiiii-t be put in them than at any other season. Tires, if worn, ought to be replaced, fni the water, snow and ice will work Into tlie tread cuts and perhaps cause I rouble at u most inopportune time. |
