"Tanlac brought back my appetite, set my stomach in order, stopped my aches and pains, restored my lost weight and strength and left me feeling as vigorous and energetic as if nothing had ever been the matter with me. And as for my health now, I never have had better. I eat fine, sleep fine and feel the same way." Tanlac is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute. Over 40 million bottles sold.

IN THE advertising columns of this paper, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has stated - repeatedly that the price of gasoline is low, and particularly so by comparison with the price of other products. To confirm the truth of these statements, your critical attention is directed to the table below compiled from statistics of the United States Bureau of Labor and Department of Commerce, showing the price level of various commodities in January, 1924, as compared with that of 1913 —taking the latter year as 100:
Gasoline 97.0 Flour 135.2 Potatoes 140.2 Farm Products .... 144.0 Milk 155.5 4 . Butter 168.7 House Furnishing Goods 176.0 Building Material . . ; 181.0 Sugar 196.3 Cloth and Clothing . . 200.0 Average for all commodities 151 The average man has come to accept the fluctuation in the prices of milk, butter, sugar, potatoes, and like products, as natural. This acceptance is so well-established and timehonored as to be a prosaic incident The buying of gasoline is relatively anew experience. The economical production of gasoline requires large investments which are possible only with big institutions of vast capitalization. Because of this, the petroleum industry has come in for criticism that does not fall to the lot of other industries. The above bulletin proves conclusively that the price of gasoline is low and that the dollar in 1924 will buy more gasoline than it could in 1913. This demonstrates the efficiency of the petroleum industry, in which tne Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its position as a feadet* This Company has earned its leadership by the every-day practice of fairness, equity and justice to all —consumer, employe and competitor—in such a manner as to have gained the confidence, respect and esteem of the thirty million people of the Middle West Standard Oil Company (.

GREAT COMPOSERS Bizet True Frenchman
GEORGES BIZET This is the third of a series of articles on the greatest musical composers of six nations. The story so Richard Wagner, famous German composer, will appear Thursday in The Times. By ERNEST BLOCH Noted Composer and Winner of Coolidge Prize, 1919 mT is difficult to find the musician who truly represents France, as do her writers, painters, sculptors. No French composer has ever lived who so wholly represents his country as did Rabelais, Moliere, Vol tairo, Balzac, Flaubert; or lloudon, Rodin. Corot, Delacroix. Ihe fact is that as yet music has never been the best means of expression of French spirit. For every nation at certain periods expresses itself in certain ways better than in others. England, like France in this respect, has had no musician who can equal Shakespeare. France, to be sure, has produced her great musicians. But Rameau and Coperin, for instance, represent a period; so after all does the romantic Berlioz, the "impressionist" Debussy. Chabrier embodies very much of the
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
characteristic French humor. But none of them represents France in a complete sense. Bizet, too, can not be called a complete representative of France. And yet there is perhaps more of the French ladscape, the French tem-perament,-\,in his music than in any other. “L’Arlesienne” has a color of its own which is unlike all other music. When one listens to it one is feeling the sun, the perfumed air of southern France. It is strange to realize that during his lifetime scarcely more than fifty >cars ago, Bizet was called “obscure.” Carmen was a lamentable failure at its performance. The critics called Bizet a, “Wagnerian" and accused him, as they accused Wagner of abolishing melody in his music! Nietzsche, the great German philosopher. who came to hate Wagner and German music in the latter part of his life, nevertheless adored Bizet —this latest genius who has seen a new beauty and anew seduction—who has revealed a piece of the south in music.

Carburetor Troubles and How to Prevent Them i The modern automobile is practically trouble proof and will rarely give any trouble at all if it is given a litlte care and attention at the proper time. Most automobile owners drive up to the filling station and trust to the strainers on the filling station pump to prevent any water or dirt entering the gasoline tank. It is almost impossible, however, to prevent a certain amount of dirt and water getting into the tank, even although the gasoline is carefully strained. The car manufacturers recognize this, and provide drain plugs and strainers at various points to trap the sediment and prevent it reaching the carburetor, where it can cause a lot of trouble. Even with these precautions, however, it is a fact that water and grit do sometimes get through these screens and cause trouble. If you are unlucky enough to get some water In the carburetor, your experience will be something like this—You may be driving along the road when all at once your engine will stop firing for a few seconds then suddenly start again, and at the same moment you may hear a violent explosion in the muffler. You stop and look around but apparently find nothing wrong and start off, when the same thing happens again, or the engine may stop altogether. Now if you ever do have this experience, you can blame no one but yourself, for this kind of trouble can be avoided very easily by cleaning and draining out the gr.soline system three or four times a year. If grit or dirt gets into the gasoline, it may put the vacuum tank out of order or cause trouble in .the carburetor. Suppose you are driving along the road, then all at once the engine starts to misfire and you hear the carburetor popping back. The trouble may be due to a small particle of grit in the jet of t<fie carburetor. If a piece of grit the size of a pinhead gets into the jet it will block it up completely and cause the engine to stop altogether. I have given you just a few of the troubles you may have if you do not clean out the gasoline system now and again. It i3 not a difficult operation, and should not take more than half an hour on the average car.
Start at the gasoline tank. First, remove,the filler cap and examine the hole in it. If this gets blocked up. a vacuum will be created as the gasoline is drawn out of the tank and it will be impossible to draw any gasoline out of the tank even although it is half full of gasoline. Make sure, therefore, that the hole is clear. Next take out the drain plug or open up the sediment trap at the bottom of the tank and draw off about half a pint of gasoline. This will remove any sedl ment or water that muy have collected at this point. The Vacuum Tank is the next part to attend to. First open the drain cock or screw out the drain plug at the bot-
tom of the tank and draw off about half a pint of gasoline. Now. trace the pipe leading from the tank at the rear to the top of the Vacuum Tank. , Un-

replacing any connection, be very careful to see that you do not cross thread it or draw it up too tight, or it will leak. If you find the connection Is difficult to turn after you have screwed it up once or twice, unscrew and make certain that the threads are not crossed. If you have cleaned out the gasoline system as described, the gasoline will flow through to the carburetor freely and everything is now ready to adjust and tune up the Itself. This operation will be described In detail next week. NEXT WEEK— I TUNING UP THE CARBURETOR (Copyrtsht. 1924. by 8-N I. Technical Syndicate!

screw the connection here and disconnect the pipe from the Vacuum Tank. Now, unscrew the fitting in the Vacuum Tank to which the pipe was attached and you will find a strainer. See that it is clear. When you have replaced the strainer and gasoline pipe, test to see that all connections are tight. Now we come to the carburetor. BE CAREFUL. Whatever you do, DO NOT alter any adjustments until you thoroughly understand what you are doing. Most carburetors have a strain er where the gasoline enters the carburetor. If there is one fitted on the carburetor to your engine, take it out and see that it is clear. Just a word about connections. When

Uncle Joe 88 By United Press DANVILLE. 111., May 7. “Uncle Joe” Cannon, patriarch of American politics, celebrated his 88th birthday here today. There was little departure from "Uncle Joe’s” regular program. He vetoed a “town celebration.” He was up at his usual early hour; had a slim breakfast; clamped a rather short, pudgy cigar between his teeth —he abandoned the long, famous stogies—and took a short automobile ride.
