LESSON No. 32. The Storage Battery. Since the introduction of the starting and lighting systems, the storage battery has become an extremely important unit of the automobile, and it is one which needs a certain amount of attention. The work it does is tremendous in comparison to its size, while the enormous sale of autos in ihe last few years can be assigned to it perhaps more than to any other feature. I told you in an early lesson that a battery is composed of cells; thus a dry battery is composed of two or more dry cells, a storage battery of two or more storage cells, or as they are also called, accumulator cells, and, sometimes, secondary cells. Each accumulated cell, no matter how small or how large, will yield a current having a voltage (electrical pressure) ov very slightly over two volts. The cell will give almost the full pressure even though it be nearly discharged. Of course, two volt3 is not enough for practical purposes ; we must have six or more volts. In order to get the increased voltage, a number of rplls are connected logether in "series," that is, the positive pole of one cell is connected to the negative pole of the next cell, and so on. Thus if a six volt battery is required, three cells are so connected up, while, if a twelve volt battery is required, six cells are used. In a booklet furnished by one of the storage battery manufacturers, It is S3 id that the battery does not store up the electricity. I think this is a misleading statement, because as-you fan send electricity into the battery, then carry the battery around for

oxygen, to decompose into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The oxygen will, however, combine with the soft lead paste, and so change it to peroxide of lead, and this peroxide will then leave these plates and be deposited on the positive or peroxide plates. This will continue until the plates can give off no more lead or hold no more peroxide of lead, when the battery is fully charged. The battery is then disconnected from the charging current. When it is desired to get some of the current out of the battery, a cir

cuit is made outside, and then the soft lead plates, sort of say to the others, "give us back our lead," and the others say, "we will, if you will give up some electricity." This is agreed to. and so electric current leaves the battery, and the plates gradually change back to their original form. The peroxide of lead changing back to soft lead and the oxygen going away as a gas. Note how the water changed to cxygen and hydrogen when charging and the hydrogen left the battery as a gas, while the cxygen left when discharing. Thus the water is constantly leaving the electrolyte. (To be continued)

"I had such awful pains in my back

that sometimes I felt like a ton ot ,

brick was bearing down on me, and I could find nothing that gave me relief." That is how Mr. James Rice, the well known man at the National Soldier's Home. Dayton, O.. described his suffering. "But the new medicine, Dreco, has made a new man of me. "In addition to the kidney pains, I also had constipation aand headaches; pains in my limbs. I was so nervous that I never got a night's sleep, and my appetite fell to almost nothing My work is pretty hard, and I know a Trian in my condition was liable to have a breakdown. I had bought several kinds of medicine which I had seen advertised in the pa'pers, but none hit my case. I have always had faith in the old time root and herb medicines though, so when I read about Dreco, I got a bottle, and my improvement began almost with the first dose. It relieved the constipation almost immediately; stopped the headaches; my nerves became quieted, and I began to sleep the whole night through and wake up refreshed. The pains in my back grew less day by day and now I have no pains at all. Any medicine that will do that kind of work should be told about to every one, and that is why I am willing to have you publish my case". Dreco acts on the bowels and relieves constipation the cause of many troubles. It will be noticed after taking Dreco, the headaches fail to appear; the nerves are soother; sound sleep is induced; the appetite increases; no more dizzy spells; the stomach digests the food without having gas to follow, and the kidneys perform their duty of straining impurities from the blood, thereby putting a stop to rheumatism and other disorders. Mr. Powers, the well known Dre-

s co expert, has headquarters at the Con f I key Drug Co., to meet the local public

and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him today. adv.
