FASCINATED THE FAIR SEX
Marat, Repulsive in Person and Man-
ners, Was Noted for His At-
tractiveness to Women.
Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading
and most infamous figures of the
French revolution, waa described by
a coo tom oor ary as “hev-ond any ques-
tion the ugliest man m the whole of
France—and not merely ugly, but pos-
itively repulsive in person, habits and
manners.” And yet, in his early yqars,
he was the most popular physician in
Paris, not because of supposed pro-
fessional skill, but. on account of his
attractiveness to women, the most
wealthy and beautiful women of
France daily crowding his consulta-
tion rooms, pushing, almost fighting,
to get a word or perhaps, a single from
him. That he turned a cold shoulder
to their allurements seemed only to
Inflame their ardor, and at one time
he contemplated flight, so embarrass-
ing became their attentions. Even
when he contracted a loathsome skin
disease while hiding in the sewers of
Paris, fair women continued to adore
him.

Beginner's Luck.
“Stranger,” said Piute Pete, “you’ve
won quite a little money since we be-
gan to teach you this game known as
draw poker.”
“I’ve had what might be called be-
ginner’s luck.”
“You sure have. And me and Three-
Finger Sam here has decided it’s abodt
time to change the entertainment to
some kind of a game that you know
and we don’t.”
Safety First.
Mrs. Smith and her daughter attend-
ed the movie. On entering they found
it very dark. The daughter, taking the
lead, found yseats No. 2 and 3, about
Inidway In the balcony. The man in
seat No. 1 stood up to let the two pass,
and when they had entered the row
the mother thought she was falling
and reached her hand forward to catch
herself. The man, still standing, said
to the mother: “Lady, you have your
hand on that man’s head.”
Drawing her hand back with sur-
prise, she turned to the speaker and
said: “Oh, I thought it was a post, for
it shone like that post up there.”
After seating herself she addressed
her daughter in a loud voice, and sard;
“I put my hand right on that man’s .
head,” pointing to a man in the row i
below. Much laughter followed and
many lost interest in the rest of the
film.

When the Brazen Hussy moved into
the house next door, the “Uplifter”
said: “Of course, I can’t exactly call.
But if she comes out on her veranda
to sit, I shall smile at her. The only
way to get a hold on people like that
is to be friendly.”
And the Brazen Hussy looked at the
“Uplifter” next door and said to her-
self : “Poor fright! I suppose I
might as well speak to her. Perhaps
after a little she will let me show
her how to do her hair.”—Life.

SOME TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
First Question to Be Decided Is Wheth-
er There Is Any Part of Mechan-
ism Needing Repair That
Owner Cannot Give.
It used to be the fashion for village
debating societies to discuss at need-
less length the thrilling question of
whether the pleasures .of anticipation
are greater than those of realization.
We need not enter into this now, but
certainly the present season, with its
anticipations of the joyous time just
ahead, is not the least pleasurable of
the motorcar owner’s year.
But if the full enjoyment of these
coming days of spring is to be realized
the car owner must give his vehicle
some careful attention at the present
moment.
The first question that must be de-
cided in undertaking the spring over-
haul is whether there is any vital part
of the mechanism that requires atten-
tion which the owner does not feel able
to give. Does the rear axle need over-
hauling? Is the transmission good for
another season? Do the engine bear-
ings require adjustment? If the car
must go to the service station for some
replacement or repair, take it today.
As a beginning of the work that you
intend to do yourself make a careful
list of all parts and equipment that
you are going to need. Gather the vari-
ous things you expect to use, cotter
pins, nuts, bolts, valve-grinding com-
pound, patches, cement, waste, gas-
kets, grease, graphite, oils, kerosene,
valve spring, lifter, etc.
Cleaning Comes First.
With the materials all gathered and
ready to hand, the first step in over-
hauling is a thorough cleaning. This
should include not only the body, but
the upholstery and the running gear
underneath the vehicle. The engine
should be thoroughly cleaned, all
gummy deposits being removed with
kerosene. All oil compartments, crank-
case, gearset, differential, etc., must be
drained of their old oil, and after be-
ing flushed out with kerosene should
be refilled with fresh lubricant.
It is best to begin with the engine
and gradually work back thi’ough the
mechanism. Unless the cylinders have
recently had carbon removed this; is
the first step.
The carbon having been removed,
the next step is to grind the valves.
For this operation a valve spring lift-
er is needed and some good grinding
compound. A grinding tool is extreme-
ly handy for the work, but a screw-
driver may be used
Put Back Cylinder Head,
With this work done the cylinder
head should be put back. It is not
advisable to use the old gasket in re-
assembling. A new gasket should be
ready to install. The seat should be
perfectly clean and the gasket should
be covered with a iittle shellac and
then be put in place. After applying
the cylinder head tighten the nuts,
drawing down first one a little and
then the opposite one. Do not draw
one nut down all the way and- so on
around, as this may spring the cylin-
der head.
The inlet manifold will next require
a little attention. The gasket he#
will probably need replacement and
sheet asbestos will be used, liberally
covered with graphite. Finally give
the engine a general tightening up.
Use the wrench on all nuts; tighten
the pump packing nut if a pump is
used. . Give the fan any adjustment
it may need. Tighten all the ignition
wire terminals. See that the magne-
to, if one is used, is tightly bolted
down. Do the same for the generator.
The Starting and lighting system will
require an overhauling, and this had
best be delegated to. the service Sta-
tion.

Interesting Possibilities Offered
to Car Owners.
Many People Apply Light Oil to Side
of Spring, Trusting to Luck That
It will “Creep” in Between Dif-
ferent Leaves.
Many people try to avoid the disa-
greeable job of greasing auto springs,
by applying a light oil to the side of
the spring, trusting to its tendency to
“creep” in between .the leaves. Some
of it usually does, hut not enough to do
much good. Of course, the body of the
car is first jacked up, so as to let the
weight of wheels and axles open the
spring as far as possible.
If coidpressed air is available, or
even a helper to work the tire pump,
a\ blast of air against the side of the
spring will usually carry a part of the
oil in where it belongs. The sketch

A little fine-flaked or powdered
graphite with the oil will make its ef-
fect much more lasting.—John A. Prior,
New Haven, Conn., in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
Singerton, 111.—“For fifteen years
we have used Thedford’s Black-
Draught, and have not as yet found
anything that .could take its place,”
writes Mr. W.\F. Bister, of this town.
“I have used it for indigestion a num-
ber of times, and it gives relief,”
continues Mr. Bister.
“For sour stomach, a heavy, bloated
feeling, it is splendid." And when the
liver gets torpid, so that when you
stoop and raise up suddenly you feel
dizzy, a few doses will set you straight.
. “We keep it and use for consti-
pation and the above troubles, and
find it most satisfactory. I can recom-
mend it to others and gladly do so.
For the number of years I have used
Black-Draught now, I ought to know.”
In its 70 years of usefulness, Thed-
ford’s Black-Draught has relieved
thousands and thousands of persons
suffering from the results of a dis-
ordered liver. And, like Mr. Bister,
many people feel that, after using
Black-Draught nothing can take its
place,
