Unfortunately." however, there Is a tendency on the part of thousands of people to conclude that with so ninny people Interested In the other fellow's welfare that little.

Even afiet the establishment ot ade-quate water and milk control, the do velopinent ot proper sewage facilities Slid efficient communicable dlsaase regulntlon, the biggest Job In health remains for the Individual himself to do. Health departments and officials can eloquently and even vigorously sug gest that one oeeils sufficient sleet' sll the fresh sir he enn get s proper amount of wholesome food snd dully exercise But then they have gone as far as they can go.

Federal and state officials sre extremely solicitous for the man and his family on the road. Well do these authorities appreciate that no mntiet how, fine the wenther. how Inspiring the scenery, or how good Hie road these things will amount to little If. as a result of the trip. Illness follows In Its wnke. It,ls therefore not enough that can tlon signs nnd signals are to be found at every crossroad and curve. Health departments have gone farther by at-tempting to regulate the sanitation ot the wayside camp. It Is plain, how ever, that even, with regulat Inspec-tions on the part of the offlclnl per sonnel. the real key to the proper oh servance of the low. so far as these establishments are concerned. Is held by the tourist himself. Many Jurisdictions In this connlrj require that snfe water be supplied at these places, thnt the grounds be maintained at all times In s sanitary condition, thnt 8 prompt disposition of the garbage be made, and thnt comfort facilities are properly kept It 'will pay the traveler to be finicky on this camp question If the place dies not meet the fundamental require-ments, then move on. Far better Hint n few more miles be sdded to the trip than to run the risk of typhoid fever which at its ve. , best is an exceert ihcly risky malady And In this connection, do not for get thnt the tourist also bus s duty to perform which can be summarised under three "don't s." .1. Don t tlin cnrhnRe Into streams. 2. Don't pollute running water In any manner 8 Don t drink from creeks or rivers no mallei how poelicnl their setting or how cleai nnd coid the water may be.

AUTO FIXED FOR WINTERJRIVING Good Advice on How to Pre-pare for Cold Weather. The motorist can take advantage of the pleasant fall weather to check over bis car or have bis service sts-tlo-do so In order that It will be In proper condition to withstand the rigors of winter driving. The following recommendations on putting the car in ahape for winter are gleaned from an engineering bul-letin: Clean Chassis First The first step In the procedure Is to clean' the chassis, engine and body, as dirt can hide many defects. Tighten all bolts nnd nuts. Check front wheels for proper align-ment; remove caps and adjust wheel beurtngs and replace hub caps. Check steering gear for proper ad-justment Drain the old oil from the trans-mission and differential and pour Into both about a quart of kerosene. At the Same time put In the radiator a few handfuls of sal soda and then drive the car two or three miles. The kerosene should then be drained from the transmission and differential and water drained from the radiator. A winter grade lubricant recommended by the car manufacturer should then be put In. the transmission and dif-ferential. Inspect the rubber hose connections, replacing If necessary, after which the radiator should be tilled with clean water; and at the first appear-ance of cold wenther an' antl-frees-solution should be added. Next, drain oil from the engine; flush crankcose and put ,ln a winter grade oil. If the oil filter has been in use for 10,000 miles Install a new cartridge. Examine Wiring. ; Inspect wiling and clean contacts; oil generator and starting motor and clean the armatures and brushes; set generator charging rate ahead for winter driving; check breaker points for proper spacing; replace spark plugs if used more than 10,000 miles; If used less than this, cleun them; adjust gaps; clean battery with ammonia water solution: tighten ter-minals and grease with vaseline; In-spect water level and If gravity Ing Is low. recharge. Oil and grease all parts that re-quire it. Adjust brakes and rellne If nec-essary. The motorist should also examine the top of his car and will do much to preserve It If he will spend a few minutes In going over the top with a good grade of top dressing. Many car manufacturers nre now equipping cars with a summer and winter driving adjustment on the carburetors end the proper adjust-ment to the carburetor should be made nt this time. The fuel and carburetor strainers should also he taken out and cleaned. With these simple but highly essen-tial adjustments, a winter of carefree driving should be enjoyed. u ," '."!: MOTOR QUIZ Bow Many Can You Answer! Q. Does an oil filter remove crankcose dilution?

What causes discoloration of the oil even though the car Is equipped with an oil filter and Is It harmful? Ans. Extremely small particles of carbon In the olL No, it is not harmful. a Is an oil filter bag likely to rupture? Ans. No. Engineering tests have proved that It Is able to withstand a pressure of 150 pounds to the square inch which la much higher than the pres-sure attained In the engine. L.

Stray Stories. Temporary Repairs Made on Broken Tire Chaina If a driver should be so unfortunate as to break so many cross pieces of the tire chains that they will not re-main In place around the wheel, the chains should be removed and wrapped around the tires as one would wrap a rope. This, of course, applies only when .the car is stuck In the snow or In deep mud, for after getting under way, the cumbersome "lump" should be removed. Owners should get Into the habit of repairing tire chains, the work requiring little effort The garage makes a charge of 10 cents, even for one new link, which the owner can install In less than one minute with a chain tool which most supply stores offer, or which can be had from the chain man-ufacturer.

For over 50 years leading physicians have recommended It, and Its overwhelming sales record of over four million bot-tles a year shows it gives satisfaction. Nothing compares with It as a gentle but certain laxative, and it goes fur-ther than this. It regulates the stom-ach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they con-tinue to act normally, of their own accord. .

Traffic Jams and Joy Riders in Olden Days There were traffic troubles and tolls nnd Joy riders 100 years ago, when the automobile and bicycle belonged to the far future and the "Iron horse" and train were gazed upon in curi-osity.
