Some cars employ a vibrator which is actuated by a magnet that becomes active when an excess rrent is passed through the circuit. This magnet tracts the vibrator which in turn breaks the cir- uit. When the circuit is broken, the magnet again mes inactive, the vibrator again returns to its ermal position and the current again passes on its war Uf the cause of the overload in this circuit till exists, the vibrator will continue ope t only producing a sound which will call the sttention of the driver to this improper condition, ‘also breaking the circuit so frequently that will occasion no damage. instead of fuses on the electric none in the meantime. This $520, how- r, represents the limit that we can withdraw during the year without re- ducing the amount below the point at which we started. Thus, it is with the storage battery. HE generator itself uses a certain amount of current whenever the car runs, averaging what is known as ten or twelve amperes whenever the engine is driven at a speed corresponding to ten or fifteen miles per hour. The horn may require ten amperes; the lights, eight the ignition, three; and the starter a possible 300. With the exception of the ignition, however, these depletions on the storage capacity of the battery will be only intermittent. On long runs we may use our horn but seldom, our lights not at all and our starter but two or three times. There is the possibility, therefore, under these conditions, that we may overfill our battery or charge it to an amount beyond its capacity. This is certainly not a bad idea for a bank account, but it does not work quite so well in the case of the bat- tery, for when every cell is fully charged, the excess amount of current turns into heat which evaporates the water in the battery and warps and bends the thin plates which constitute its very life. The battery should not become warmer than a temperature which be with- stood easily by the hand. A battery which feels hot to the touch is in danger of serious damage if overcharg tinned. The hydrometer or battery tester also furnishes an excellent means of giving the condition of the battery and if this indi- cates that each cell is charged to its limit of 1,280 or 1,300, continued daylight driving should be done only with the lights turned on in order that the e: current which is generated may sorbed by the headlights and will not serve to operate the battery beyond its capacity. Bu: like the average bank account, the usual trouble with the battery isunder- charging. We attempt to draw out more power from our battery account—which ng is con-¢ would probably be dubbed currency by the poor punster—than we put in, with the result that our once ample margin is reduced to the point where our checks are no longer honored. If we keep no record of the withdrawals from our bank account, a $10 check will be honored as readily when there is but $10.50 in the bank as when there is $100. The next $10 check, however, will not be honored unless, in the meantime, an adequate deposit has been made. Thus it is with the battery. The fact that it furnished sufficient current to start the engine the night before is no indication that it will | have enough strength the next morning to perform the same work. We must go over our account semi-monthly in order to determine what our results may be. If the hydrometer shows a charge of be- 50, we must use our y sparingly in the ende in more current than we withdraw. But in comparing a battery with a bank account, we must not carry the analog far as to see the necessity for watering the latter. Water is as nece: toa battery as it is harmful to a bank account: and a sufficient amount should be added each week or two to cover the tops of the a depth of at least half an inch. er used is important, for the various acids, oxides and other chem- icals found in city water will soon ruin even the best battery. For this reason, pure distilled water or rain water caught in an earthenware container, is the only liquid that should be used. When your battery fails to indicate sufficient reserve, even after continued runs at a charging rate, take it to a doctor in the form of the nearby batte rvice station. He will be able to save | your battery from the undertaker if you have not abused it, and, in fact, such regular medical consultation is as neces- sary in the case of a strong storage bat- tery as with the average individual. tat kneed and his wife is bow-legged,” remarked the aunt. “Who do you suppose their boy will take after when he is older?” “Probably after some girl,” uncle. so “John is knoc replied the “Engine’s missing.

There is a vigor, an alertness, a commanding appearance much’ admired and coveted by the man who knows he is much younger in years. Perhaps the most common cause of ebbing strength is a disturbed con- dition of an important gland. Even men of iron constitution are not exempt from this serious and common irregularity. Our plainly written, interesting, educational FREE BOOK Why Many Men Are Old at Forty may bring a priceless message to you. It will tell you much you wish to know about the prostate gland and its functions—and how a disorder here may cause sciatica, backache, aches in toes and heels, mental depression, interrupted slumber, frequent micturation and other disturbing conditions. It will tell you of Thermalaid, a simple means by which the essential of an old hygienic principle, done into new convenient form corrects this prostate gland condition and its attendant health faults—a method that is being endorsed by prominent Physicians, Physical Culturists, and other leading health authorities. The book will be sent free, to anyone upon request. Physician’s inquiries especially invited.
