The easy Common-Rense method
Unit costs so little that is so quickly

v."..y it is hard to say. One of the
specialists of the Swift Specific Com-

ting and national reputation because of
Ms knowledge of blood disorders made

("atarrh sufferers would buy and faith-
fully take S. S. S. they could effectu-
i llr get rid of Catarrh.
S. a S. goes straight to the seat of
trouble the blood. It spreads its in-

less than an hour is at work through-
out the body in process of purification.
S. S. S. is made from barks roots
and herbs that are food and tonic for
the blood. It stimulates gives the

Here Is a heater which the manufac-
turers claim will hoat a car during the
coldest weather while traveling within
city speed laws and has no cost of
maintenance. This is due to the fact
that the heater utilizes the waste ex-
haust. The passase of the gas through
the heater is free and unobstructed
providing an additional outlet for the
gas which ordinarily causes back pres-
sure in the exhaust line on account of
muffler-existence. The degree of heat

COST OF OPERATION
Great Disagreement as to the
Expense of Maintaining
a Car.
FEW KEEP ACTUAL' FIGURES
One Who Has Done So Gives His Ex-
perience and It May Well Form a
Basis on Which Intending Buyer
May Form an Estimate.
One of the actual necessities of the
farmer of today is an automobile of
some sort writes A. F. Tenney in the
Orange Judd Farmer. The expense of
maintaining a car after it is bought is
a question much more serious than
the first expense of the car. I find
there is very great disagreement
among those who are using cars even
if the cars are of the same clr.ss. Cue
man I know maintains that he knows
It costs ten cents per mile to run a
light car. He owns one but I have not
seen his figures to prove this nor do 1
believe he has such figures. Another
man thinks I ought to run my car for
2Vi cents a mile. The truth of the mat-
ter is very few people keep an accurate
account of the cost of maintenance of
their cars. I have always done this
and have a friend w;ho has kept an ex-
act account of all expenses since he
first had a car some six years ago. Be-
tween the two of us I think we can got
at the average expenso quite accur-
ately. .
My friend has always owned a light
four-seated touring car which he
drives a little less in mileage each
year than I do my car which is a light
runabout. "For the past two years I
have used a light car made over into a
truck. The yearly cost to him runs
from about $200 to $250. Last year
mine cost for ordinary upkeep and
repairs $156. In addition to thlj I paid
about $37 more for things that could
hardly be counted necessary such as
shock absorbers and other things for
my own comfort rather than necessary
for the operation or good of the car.
I have no exact data of mileage that
year but it was not over 4000 nor less
than 3500 miles. The tire cost was
about $45. The cost for repairs that
year was very light while for the year
Just past it was very heavy. The
total expense necessary to running the
car the past year was $1S3. In addi-
tion to this I built a truck body the
material costing me about $5. Since
I had a good truck body before and
built this for a special purpose and
have not yet sold the old body I did
not count in this expense nor did I
include a fire extinguisher at $6.53
this being properly of more value as
a mental comfort than a necessity.
In general the expense for the past
year was divided about as follows:
Gasoline $43.50 oil and grease $15
tires $25 repairs $74.50. The above
do not Include some miner expenses
and are hardly a fair sample of the
ordinary yearly expenses of these va-
rious items but as a whole the varia-
tion from this would not be great I
think. Since my car was never before
thoroughly overhauled in the three
years it has run repair expense is
much above the average. I bought 55
gallons gasoline Just after the year be-
gan and at its close had on band quite
a supply of gas and oil.
My mileage the past year was 4700
nearly 1000 miles more than the pre-
vious year I think. The average cost
per mile was about 4 1-3 cents. While
I would not advise the use of "second"
tires I found thus far my tire cost has
been lowered by using "second from
firsts" which are seconds thrown out
from high grade tires because of
slight blemishes that do no great harm.
A new car coBts very little to run the
first year and any car weighing net
over a ton ought to make 4000 miles
yearly at an average expense of $200
or 5 cents a mile. A very light car if
loaded light will do even better.
USEFUL MOTOR TRUCK
IS SERVING TO SOLVE PROBLEM
OF THE RAILROADS.
By Its Means Short-Haul Freightage
May Largely Be Made Thing
of the Past.
Freight transportation by commer-
cial vehicle instead of by railroad is
one of the most interesting develop-
ments of motor haulage of recent
times the Commercial Vehicle ob-
serves. As freight terminals and city
trackage become more congested by a
growing volume of traffic without pos-
sibility of adequately expanding the
space available it becomes increasing-
ly difficult for the railroads to trans-
port small lots of freight for short
distances with speed or economy. As
experience and confidence in the mo-
tor truck grow Its usefulness in the
general transportation scheme be-
comes correspondingly greater.
liepeatediy have the railroads com-
plained to the interstate commerce
commission that these short hauls do
not pay and yet they are obligatory
On them as common carriers. No end
of trouble has been stirred up by the
continual complaints of shippers on
Blow delivery cf goods which have to
be shipped but a few miles. The re-
tardation and congestion which result
from the intricate switching and trans-
ferring operations in our cities have
materially affected longhaul traffic.
Merchants who have been used to
making shipments from suburban
plants and warehouses to more cen-
trally located warerooms and stores
supply firms which habitually ship
their consignments to local buyers by
rail and others who are consignees of
gcods from so-called foreign rail lines
have had to put up with more and
more delay as conditions became more
Intolerable. Many firms which should
long ago have moved into larger quar-
ters less centrally located have hesi-
tated because of the delay incident to
having freight transferred through the
city.
The motor truck has come to the
' rescue by hauling such lots of freight
direct either from their point of orig-
inal shipment to the ultimate con
signee or else from a central receiving
terminal the whole haul taking only
a few hours and being accomplished
In many cases for les3 than the rail-
road charges unprofitable as they are.
With the development of tractors
larger loads can be safely and eco-
nomically handled on the highways.
When business men have become real-
ly awake to the advantages of motor
haulage for everything less than what
amounts to overland transportation
the railroads short haul problem will
have been solved by extinction.
Doors That Fit Rigidly.
Motorists are often annoyed by the
rear .doors of the car coming open
when rounding a turn at speed. This
Is caused by the strain on the body.
A new type of body construction has
been introduced this year for which It
is claimed the body is so rigid that the
doors fit perfectly at all times and do
not rattle or fly open. In this type of
construction the body Is made in three
j pieces fir.'t the cowl; second the
front seat and third the tonneau seat.
! Storage Battery Care.
Cold weather will not injure stor-
age batteries if they are treated right.
A storage battery fully charged will
not freeze in most parts of the country
but the temperature at which the elec-
trolyte will freeze rises as the bat-
tery becomes discharged and that Is
where the danger comes in. Make
Bure your battery is fully charged and
be sure you keep it very nearly fully
charged during the cold weather.
Make frequent use of a voltmeter and
a hydrometer. They will be good In-
surance against a run-down battery.
Watch Your Car Tires.
After a car has been idle for sev-
eral months the tires are likely to be
weak though they may look perfectly
Bound. Then is the time to provide
the extra tires.
Will Use Plenty of Steel.
This year's consumption of sheet
steel at one prominent automobile
plant will total over Bn.ono.OW nounds.
Willie's Difficulty.
"I never Baw a case like this before"
mused the physician who had been
called In a hurry.
He thumped the child who was the
object of his call. The child of a pro-
ligious roundness gave forth a hol-
low "boom" like unto that of a drum.
"He doesn't seem to be in any pain.
Did you let him overeat at dinner?"
"No doctor" explained the anxious
mother. "Willie got a toy baiioon
imong his other presents and when
it deflated he blew it up too much
nd the balloon blew back at him and
