Yet. became the march of Time leave? its Inevitable traces on the (ace and form of man, most people are resigned to that tact. But we should not blame Time If we grow old in thought and Spirit. That is our own fault. Age is, lor tne most part, a state of mind. With the approach of mld de.age. most people think it is time to "settle down." They fear to do any thing that might be called undigni-. fled and so- they give up everything in the nature of exercise or sports. They take a back seat and watch the world go by. They lose their interest in other people. They become careless of personal appearance. They coddle themselves if the weather is incle ment or take, to their beds with every twinge of pain or digestive dis turbance. They refuse to accept any ""hew or radical idea, believing that "the old way is best." They often give up some lifelong ambition, saying, "It's too late now?I'm getting old." Then they begin to indulge in self pity. And those are the things that make people grow old before their time. Those things also bring ori many of the ailments associated with age.

Tke majority of items to be watch ed are rather obvious to the average automobile owner, but through an in adequate appreciation of tlfeir impor tance. are commoply overlooked. -The survey sets down specifically a number of factors, which, if observed, should Increase your mileage two to ?five miles to the gallon. They are: 1. When standing or waiting for the light to change, don't race your motor. 2. When you are to make a stop of more than a minute, turn off your motor. S. Don't drive at excessive speeds unless the occasion demands. High spfeed travelling burns more gas. 4. Remember that the faster you drive the more gas you consume. So when you find that you are about out of gas and are heading for a gas sta tion. take it slowly and your -chances for negotiating this distance' will be greater. 5. When starting watch the choke. Don't drive with the choke out a mom ent-more than necessary. - ------ 6. Be sure that yourjbrakes are not dragging. This cuts down your mile age. Get your brakes inspected fre quently. T 7. Ha.ve your valves ground when they need it. 8. See that the idling adjustment on your carburetor is set at the proper- point so that the mixture is not too rich. If it is not at the proper point it gives you inefficient idling performance and wastes gas. ?. Don t Ml your |X tank full to the cap, some will escape through the Test is the cap. it.
