Company Insure Against Sickness London Firm Offers New Insurance Policy

Due to the enormous prevalence of appendicitis, a firm of insurance men have evolved a scheme whereby people can insure the appendix against the cost of its removal by operation. This removes any anxiety regarding the expense of an appendicitis operation, but does not. of course, remove the worry or possible chance of loss of life. A Treacherous Disease. Appendicitis attaeks at any moment even persons seemingly in good health. Usually, however* it is preceded by socalled stomach trouble, constipation or similar disturbances. Often when mere is a warning feeling of uneasiness in the abdomen, appendicitis can be guarded against in the same manner in which one guards against the spread of throat infection, because that is just what appendicitis is—an infection in the intestines spreading to the appendix. When one has sore throat, one can often prevent further trouble by using an antiseptic wash or gargle to fight the germs and a laxative to carry off the poisons from the body. The same procedure is necessary to fight the intestinal germs and guard against appendicitis But instead of an antiseptic wash for the throat, an INTESTINAL antiseptic is aeceasary Intestinal Antiseptic. Ther. is now offered to the public a preparation having the DOUBLE action of an intestinal antiseptic and a COM PLETE system cleanser. This prepara tion, known as Adlerika. acta as follow* : It tends to eliminate or deetrov harmful germs and colon bacilt i n she tnrectinrl canal, thus guarding against appendicitis and other diseases having their start here.

Take Out Spark Plug and Examine Carefully Spark plug trouble is not nearly so frequent as it used to be a few years ago. I have known drivers who have driven their car for nearly a year and never removed a spark plug from the engine. Toward the end of this period, however, they began to complain that their engine was getting hard to start, and was beginning to misfire when pulling hard. Os course it was getting hard to start, and was beginning to give trouble. Few drivers realize the amount of wear the spark plugs must resist. Do you know that when the average touring car has traveled 5,000 miles that over 1,000,000,000 sparks have passed

across the points of every spark plug in the engine? Every time a spark occurs it burns away a small portion of the electrode, and gradually makes the gap at the plug point too wide, the engine is hard to start and will misfire on a hard pull. The spark plugs should be removed and examined carefully every 1,000 miles, even although the engine appears to be running all right. On Ford cars the gap should be one-thirty-second of an inch, or about the thickness of a worn dime. On all cars but Fords, the gap should be just a TRIFLE LESS than a WELL WORN dime. Examine the shape of the plug elec-

trodes. especially if you have trouble with the plugs fouling. The illustration shows a common mistake made by many drivers. Set the plug points so that the oil is kept away from the firing points. The color of the porcelains of the

jar and fill it with alcohol, and let your plugs soak overnight, you will find you can rub the carbon off easily with a piece of cloth. After cleaning a plug, examine it carefully to see that the porcelain is not cracked or broken. • If it is, the plug must be replaced.

How many different kinds of plugs have you in your engine? Some drivers have a different kind of plug in every cylinder. The thickness of cylinder heads varies in different motors, and for this reason some engines require a plug with a long skirt, and others one with a short skirt. Examine the illustration carefully, and you will quickly realize that if you want to secure maximum power and efficiency from your engine, you must use the proper plug. The large spark plug manufacturers have a chart which specifies the kind of plug to be used in your car. Ask the accessory dealer to show it to you.

plugs will give you a very goody idea as to how your carburetor is adjusted and the condition of the piston rings. If the carburetor is correctly adjusted and compression good, then the porcelains will be a dry reddish brown color. If you find they are covered witli a dry black soot, then the carburetor is adjusted too rich, and should be cut down to deliver a leaner mixture. If, however, the plug points are covered with a soft gummy black deposit, then either your pistons are leaking, cylinder walls scored, or you are keeping the oil in the crankcase too high. Most drivers, when changing plugs, put the dirty plugs away and forget them until a spare Is needed. It Is a dirty job cleaning plugs in the usual way. If you will procure a Mason jam

A number of drivers are afraid to test out a cylinder for fear they will receive a shock. This is because they do not perform the operation properly. If you touch the top of the plug FIRST, you will get a shock, because the current then goes to ground through your body. If you touch the top of the cylinder, THEN bring the metal shaft of the screw driver to the top of the plug, you will avoid all shocks. When testing an iglnition wire, make the spark Jump from the end of the wire to the metal base of the plug or any metal part of the engine, NOT from the end of the wire to the terminal on top of the plug.

JOINT OF THUMB USED BY MARBLE KINO IN SNOOTING Contest Editor Doesn't Let Weather Man Get His Goat With Snow, By KARLIN M’COY First National Marble Champion There are two ways to hold a shooter, but most good shots hold It the same way. Some hold the shooter between the thumb nail and the forefinger. This is the way I learned to shoot when I started playing marbles. But I soon changed over to the style used by most of the boys today.

% M'COY'S SHOOTING HAND That is, holding the agate between the tip of the forefinger and the thumb joint, instead of against the thumb nail. I think it is important to arch shots instead of rolling them. If a fellow has been shooting the old way very long it seems awkward for him to change to the other style. After ho practices rolling them off with the thumb Joint a while he will find out that he can hit 'em better. Then, too, he gets more force in his shots. He la more likely to knock 'em out of the ring when he does hit the ducks.
