What have you done about the storing of your
starting and lighting battery?
Nothing?
If so, our Service Station can be of service to
you. We can tell you what you should do for your
battery when you lay up your car for the winter.
A battery out of service needs attention. Don't
be misled regarding this. To be sure, it does not
require looking after every day, but it does need
a certain amount of attention from time to time.
It might be a good thing to arrange for the
storing of your battery at our service station this
winter. Your battery stored with us is money in
your pocket, for we will give it attention all win
ter long and deliver it to you ready for another
Summer of hard work when you put it in ser
vice again.
Winter storage at the Service Station costs
very little but means much to the motorist who
appreciates a sure start when he puts his, car i
use again.
Let none but experienced men take care of your
batter/ in n ijriinjein this linemay complete
ly destroy the battery.

to, hundreds and thousands of
women and girls sell the seals
year, and stores in the
past w years have been doing
their share by keeping the
stamps stock and selling them
the same as they would any oth
jer line of holiday seals.
The beginning of the sale of
the stamps is so far in the dis
i eiety with her plan. "I know I
am not a Red Cross member,"
she sasd,*"l ut I believe this Nor-
1
?an »dea can be made of val
ue here."
The Wilmington Red Cross of
ficials were not so sure about it,
,1'v i enthusiasm is contagious and
Miss Bissell was so sincere and
so enthusiastic that they agreed
to try it that season. The late
Ilowarjl Pyle made the design
for them. The stamps were
put in stores and otherwise dis
tributed for sale. The idea ap
pealed the one-cent charge foi
the stamp made it possible fo
everyone to help according tc
his means and when the 190r
holidays were over, the sale o
the first Red Cross Christmar
stamps in America amounted to
$3,000, and this sale was limit
ed to Wilmington and its envir
ons!
Miss Bissell was happy, the lo
cal Red Cross people'were bot'
amazed and happy. They report
ed in full to the National Rer5
Cross and asked Miss Bissell
who had meanwhile become a
Red Cross member, to go to
Washington and tell the story ir
person. She was a very happ:
young woman when she made
her report to the officials of the
National organization.
The 1908 season sales were
miraculous. It was the first gen
eral sale through the United
States, it had not been adver
tised, and people who saw the
stamps had to hunt up informa
tion about them yet. those sales
netted $135,000.
SEVERE PAIN.

to try Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain

ARE Christmas a
jolly time.
The whole signifi
cance of Christ mas
is generosity, charity, good
fellowship and consequent
happiness, and we must stand
in with this spirit of joy ful
ness or admit ourselves as by
no means belonging to the
highest types of humanity. If
we adopt the Irishman's well
known and philosophical dic
tum, that "one man's as good's
another and some a deal sight
betther," then we want to be
a "deal sight" in most every
thing, anil good fellowship
proclaims that loudest and
longest.
So, go in for a good time in
any old first-class, fine-edged
way you can get it, at home or
abroad, outdoors or in, upstairs
or down, with or without the
best means for enjoyment, for
the means can be made if
you're determined to make it,
then is always a way. If you
lack dollars, use pennies if
you lack pennies, use your
wits. There are many other
things that you have in abun
dance to spend, and you can
spend them by transferring to
others and the general atmos
phere your optimistic joy ful
ness over vihat you have, be it
much or little.

FAMILY OF FOOD PATRIOTS
In an open letter to Herbert
Hoover, U. S. Food Administrat
or, the editor of the American
Co-operative Journal tells of
food conservation practiced by a
family of five on an Indiana
farm. In addition to operating
160 acres, doing most of the
work himself, the husband help
ed with the garden and the
heavier part of the housework.
The wife managed the house,
doing all her cooking, sewing
and washing, raised 125 pure
bred chickens and put up canned
goods as follows: 141 quarts of
rruit, 84 jars of jam and jellies,
126 quarts of relish, 72 quarts
of vegetables. An abundant win
ter supply of potatoes, squash,
cabbage, beets, turnips, popcorn
and apples was also stored away.
This work was the result of
an agricultural 8-hour day eight
hours in the forenoon and eight
hours in the afternoon. The ed
itor states that when the true
record of the nation is finally
written, when the last battle has
been fought and the Stars and
Stripes come home victorious,
great praise will be due those
who have fought the battles in
the kitchen and in the truck
patch.
