POOR grade of fuel is false economy The
money you seem to save on cheap grade
oils and gasoline is later spent on motor
repairs and shortened life of your motor
Poor food means poor health— and poor
fuel means poor service
Best Quality Qt Low Prices
Considering the high quality of our gas
oline and oils our prices are the lowest that
you can find
Scores of auto owners have found that
they can get more mileage and better motor
performance by always using the same grade
oils and gasoline— and that grade ours

The Iris or the fleur-de-lls Is the
national flower of France It was
originally called the flenr-de-Louis
The ancients valued It highly for me-
dicinal purposes A powder made from
the root mixed with honey was used
for broken bones and It was also con-
sidered beneficial for snake and scor-
pion bites A valuable perfume and
oil was also obtained from the Iris
The legend as to how the flower re-
ceived Its name goes back to the
Greeks Iris was the messenger of
the gods and the rainbow was dedi-
cated to her On her birthday Juno
Invited nil the flowers to celebrate
the occasion They all came In
their prettiest frocks Among them
were three sisters gorgeously
dressed In gowns of purple yellow and
red and who were unknown Since
they had po name they were called
Iris because their gowns were the
color of the rainbow
Since Iris was the messenger of the
gods and conducted the souls of desd
women to their final resting place the
Greeks decorated the graves of their
women with purple Iris
This flower was widely used In old
Egyptian architecture It signified
power and eloquence to the Egyptians
and was therefore carved on the brow
of the Sphinx aqd upon the scepters
of their kings
HEART REVIVED BY MASSAGE
Dr Petti of Buenos Aires Performs
Remarkable Feat on Woman Patient
Who Recovers After Long Fight
Doctor Petti of Buenos Aires was
shocked on making an Incision In a
woman’s abdomen to find that no
hlood flowed and that his patient was
pulseless She hail collapsed under
the chloroform Artificial respiration
had no effect Caffeine was Injected
both under the skin and Into the veins
with no result
The Rurgeon then extended the In-
cision lie had niHde Inserted Ills hand
and took hold of the woman's heart to
massage It He squeezed the heart
with both hands but at first It did not
respond All at once a powerful con-
traction was felt followed by others
The massage was stopped but bad to
be resumed at once The contractions
reappeared but the massage was con-
tinued and inhalations of oxygen were
given At last the patient was out of
danger
She remained uticAnsclous for a
long time and when she recovered
had no Idea how close she had been to
passing out Her recovery was very
slow being complicated by violent de-
lirium but she got well at Inst
Great Statesman’s Hobby
Gladstone in his day was quite an
axman The great Englishman used
to slip away from the cares of state
and lile himself out to his estate at
Hawarden seize the haft of his trusty
ax and let the “chips fall where they
may” To lilm the exercise afforded
the most complete mental rest that lie
could find With coat off and shirt-
sleeves rolled up the prime minister
would tackle a tree several feet in di-
ameter and keep at It until lie had re-
duced It lo cordwood He was forever
consulting Ills friends as to the ad-
visability of cutting down this tree
or that one on his estate So proud
was he of his wood chopping ability
that he even had himself photograph-
ed with his favorite ax at his beloved
pastime and an great was Ills reputa-
tion and so ardent bis admirers that
he was frequently being presented
with an ax as a mark of estepm At
one time lie had more than 30 axes

It Needed Attention
He had been sent to a certain ib-
urb to tune a piano He found the In-
strument In good condition and not In
the least need of attention
A fciv days later hls employer re-
ceived a letter from the owner of the
piano a lady of would-be musical pro-
clivities stating that the piano had not
been properly tuned It was no better
than before
After receiving a reprimand from hls
employer tbe- hapless tuner made an-
other trip and again tested every note
only to find as previously no fault
with the Instrument This time be
told the lady so
“Yes" she said "It does seem all
right doesn’t it when you play It but
as soon as I begin to sing It gets all out
of tune" — London Tit-Bits
Proper Shade for the Eye
While better working conditions can
be attained by properly shading and
Installing the lamp much can be ac-
complished by shading the eye But
like lamp shades eye shades may be
good and bad To the latter class
belongs the curved opaque shade with
Its edge made conspicuous In the field
of view by a dark lining Such a
shade nctlng ns a distracting object
not only disturbs tbe adjustment of
the eye blit by darkening the upper
half of the field of view causes glare
on working surfaces on which there
is no glare and Increases the glare on
surfaces on which glare Is already
present medical men assert
