Therefore, these in where se producing conditions prevail, the proverbial ounce of prevention is worth erably more than the pound of eure. Human sickness is largely caused by consi disease germs carried in dust-laden air.

Such immunity ean only be partial, however, for with the decidedly lower quality of fuels now available and with the too- frequent: manipulation of the choke or other means provided to insure easy cold Weather starting, a gummy residue is hound to collect sooner or later on the eylinder heads and piston heads of even the best-designed motor—and_ this even though the car be driven only in high altitudes where purest and cle sir is supposed to be the ‘arest. ‘There are some motors in which the formation « a small amount of carbon is not in itself injurious. A rather astonish- ing fact will be discovered, however, upon analysis of the carbon removed from any average gasoline engine. While this is popularly supposed to be the asphaltic hard-baked residue of unburned gasoline and oil, it has been found that’ such residue acts principally as a binder for dust, dirt and other foreign matter which is sucked in through the breathing appa- ratus or intake manifold of the engin ‘Tur rarer who operates a tractor will tell you that it would be mechan- I suicide to attempt to run that er for any length of tinic without some form of air cleaner attached the intake manifold.

It was hard to get away from them without buying a few shares, and some people in town invested thousands of dollars. Then, a little notice appeared in the newspaper saying that the Gusher Oil Company had gone into bankruptcy. It was estimated that it would pay its debts 10 cents on the dollar. “Well, that salesman didn’t sell me any stock,” remarked Tom Hughes to a friend. “I didn’t have any more experience or wis dom than those people who got ‘stung,’ but I have a set of rules by which I invest my money safely. Every time I am asked to buy a security I apply a few simple tests, all based on common sense. If the proposition doesn’t answer those tests, I turn it down. “Why should anybody take a chance of losing his money when it is dead easy to get a safe investment paying a good rate of interest?” “I Don’t Guess—I Invest’’ Have you ever been confused a when urged to buy securities that promised you a big profit? Have you ever wished there was some way of answering the eloquent arguments of the enthusiastic salesman—some simple but sure way of really finding out whether his proposition was a good one or not? There is a way of finding out, in advance, before you have invested a penny. All you have to do is to apply a few common-sense tules. These rules form the basis of all sound investing. “Thousands of people all over the country are to-day satisfied owners of Miller First Mortgage Bonds, paying up to 7% interest, because these people have applied these tests and discovered that Miller Bonds meet them fully.
