i Wonder if All Mothers Are !H! Every Pictiirt tells a S?or-),. I KIDE troubles are altogether too common among women. Their in- door life, anxiety for the children and the welfare of others, tend to weaken the kidneys. Moreover, there are critical times in a woman's life, when changes are going on which load the kidneys with much extra work. Attacks of backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness, despon- dency and urinary troubles often foltow, and prompt treatment is needed to ward off grave!, dropsy or rheumatism. Doan's Pills greatly assist weakened kidmeya. The medicine is not a cure-all but is solely for kidney and bladder troubles, and has no action on the bowel*. But it is a good plan to eat less, sleep more, rest oftener, drink plenty of pure water, and get more outdoor exercise. A BANGOR CASE. Mrs. K. Davies, of 7, Penchwii]tau Terr- ace, Bangor, says:—"I used to suner dreadfully from cruel pains across my back. These pains would se:ze me sud. denly, and almost drag me to the ground. I often -went about the house with a bent back like a very old womau. "I seemed to be much worse when I was lying in bed, and many a night I hardly got a wiuk of sleep. I had great dimculty in doing my housework, and everything seemed a burden to me. My head troubled me, and I used to come over dizzy. "Doan's backache kidney pills proved very effective in my case. I had been suffering several weeks when I started with the medicine, but one box cured the pains and strengthened my back. I shall always be grateful to Doan's pills for the good they have done me.

A LOT FOR A LITTLE. 1
A LOT FOR A LITTLE. 1 THE NEW MAXWELL CAR. DETAILS OF MODEL "25" AND ITS ROAD BEHAVIOUR. There are many things which are quite tinerent in reality—when one comes careiully to probe the matter—from what they appear on superficial consideration. For instance, one would be tempted to think that it was a more dimcult matter to design a .61000 chassis than it is to prepare on paper the drawings which will eventually see actual existence in the shape of a chassis such as the Maxwell. As a matter of fact this superncial impression, says The Jlotor, is erroneous, and when one cornea to consider the matter carefully it is seen that in so cheap a priced vehicle as the new Maxwell "25" car, where so much is pro- vided for eo small an outlay, extreme in- genuity must be expended in the design and construction, if the sale of the car is to be carried out as a commercial proposition. The designer has to call to his aid every con- ceivable artince for cheap production, and as many of the said artihces entail a large initial outlay, it is only when producing huge quantities of cars that such little luxuries can be indulged in. It is seen, then that in the production of the new model Maxwell, which sells complete with electrio lighting and starting outnt at .8185 for the iive-seater touring model, the designer's work has been most arduous, and he must have been beset on all sides with problems of great intricacy. It is only by the production of large numbers of cars that the problem can be solved (assuming, of course, that the car is of any real value when it is on the road), and in this respect the Maxwell Co. can be complimented on the enormoua cumber of cars which they now manufacture. They have come very largely to the front during the last twelve months, and arc considerably more prominent in America than they were even before. It is well, then, that we should review this chassis and see just what is offered to the English motorist in the way of a COMPLETELY EQUIPPED CAR FOR .2185., Taken as a whole, the chassis is designed on standard American lines. The engine and gearbox are built up together; three speeds and a reverse are provided with central change-speed mechanism. There is final }!ere! drive and both brakes operate directly en the rear wheels. The engine* is a four- < cylinder of the en bloc type, an extension of which construction is found in the fact that the upper hai.f of the cran}' wse is also case tategraJIy with the cyhnd' The bore and stroke are respectively 92 mm. and 114mm., M that the B.A.C. latixg of the Maxwell is 21 h.p., and as the engine will actually deve- lop very considerably more power than this, and as the weight of the car is kept within very reasonable limits, a very good proportion of power to weight is available. The engine is provided with a detachable head, which makes for simplicity if it should be desirable at any time to remove the carbon deposit. The valves are all arranged on the one side, and are completely enclosed. The tappet mechanism is provided with suit- able adjustment, and the vaTvea are of good me, as the seats are rather more than ii in. in diameter. The neat and compact way in which the engine and gearbox unit is ar- langed can be gauged readily enough from the illustration which we reproduce. As may be deduced from the dimensions of the water inlet and outlet pipes, the circulation of the cooling water is carried out on the t1at'l'mo-svDhonic system. The radiator is of the tubular type, with a belt-driven fan to .tasist in the cooling. The belt which is mployed for driving the fan also drives the ghting dynamo, the drive being taken from pulley mounted on the shaft employed for drning the ma-gneto. An automatic tension. ing device is provided, and the belt is a good width, so that under these ideal conditions long wearing attributes may be reasonably anticipated. The crankshaft Is a substantial one as the shaft is li in. in diameter and the front and rear beamings are generously proportioned. Both the crankshaft and connecting rod bear- <ngs are of the bronze type lined with Babbitt metal. The cauisha.ft is a drop forging with integral cams, and here. again, ample pro- vision is made so far as the wearing surface :s concerned. With regard to the question of lubrication, the splash system is favoured, a plunger pump drawing the oil jfrom the enmp and delivering it to the troughs in which the big-end scoops dip. The drive for the pump Is taJken from the camshaft, and the oil-well is integral with the lower half of the crank- case. This lubrication system has been found so reliable that it has not been deemed I NECESSARY TO HAVE A TELL-TALE. I The carburetter Is a well-knov.'n American pro. duction, namely, the Kingston, and the thrattio is oon.troU'pd by the usual acceler&toir pedal or by a lever mounts! on the steering wheel, accoi-ding to the diver's obo:oe. There is a va.ria.Me contro!! for hot or co!d air supply, whicth is easily adjustable from the driver's 6e&& The Bywheed is encased, whioli protecta the clutch from dust ajid mud. Coming now to the other portions of the chassis, the dwtùh itsetf is of the cone type, Uned with m:ultibe&t<M. The coupling between the oone fmd the transm;æion shaft is through six splin&waye, amd the pedal tfctr opeir'&ting the ctutch is mounted in euoh a way that onJy a sma,l preaa.ure is requisite to withdraw the clutch irom tm,gag-emen,t. Thjee "peeds and a reverse aj-e provided, of the sel'eotive type. the gearbox be'mg bolted di-rectty to the Hywheel houainjg', thus oonrlituting a unit with i!he motor. The main driving shaft :s mounted <Mi Hyatt roUer bearings &t the frort end. with & Babbit,t-1inoo bronze bearing at the rear. The gear. box is kept commenda-My small in external pro- portions. a-ithoutgh ample strength is allowed in fhe busmees parts." The chu)geope-ed lever ia mounted directly on top of the gea.rbox, and thja method oertaanly provides the designer Wt'.tth, an Otpportunity for simplifying the c-ha.nge- tpeed mechani&m. At the rear of the gearbox there Ls a ruLly-encloeed universal joint, which transmit the drive to the live rear axle. The 1'ea.r a.xle is of the three-quarter 8o&tLng type, the stMidtatrd ratio of the beve'l gears being 5.58 to 1. As previously n'oted, both the brakee a.ra opera.tive on the back wtheels, t'ha.t applied by the peda.1 being of the Dontraating type, whilst the emergency brajce, controjied by the centrally-placed brake levor, is of the expajiding' va¡;iety. The front springs aTe of the <Mfdinary pattern, 3§ina. -tong and lin. wide; a,t the rear three-qua.rter elliptical apringa aro employed. Instead of the usual forward insweep to the madn franie, in the Maxwell thera i.5 a .g'raduaj taper- in.g from the back to the front, the reepcctive width being 332ins. at the rea.r a.nd 23in*. at the front. It M stated that this ensures a be'tte.r and more uniform mounting for the body than the ord'Lna.ry type. With regard to the equipment of the Maxwcl!, there is everything on the oa.r that one can reasona<My expect, such aa hood, d-ouble wind- screcn, speedometer, electric horn, and also, aa pperio'u&Iy mentioned, &n electric lighting outfit and st&rtiiig appa.r&tus. The dynamo auto- maitioaJly stores the- current in the battery, which is situated under the front seat..

Havling now gtven die apect&oation of the new model Marwail oa<r, we may come to the co.n" mdera.tian of its perfofmaBoe on the ioa<d. We,. have no heaita't.ion in saying tha;t it ie a wond<r- fuliiy unproved model, and &Xhough good vaJue for money -was given in the previous Maxwell, the new one quite eclipses it in aU respects. One of the mast iMtioeaibie unp<rovementt waa in M'a<ttton. to the steering ye&r, whi<;h is ueMalLy a w-eoak podttt on cheap oafs, aa it ia v<fy hu4 to provide good steering geax at & low coat.

SOLDIER DIES ON ROADSIDE
SOLDIER DIES ON ROADSIDE CENSURE FOR ST. ASAPH INNKEEPER. A protracted inquiry infto the death of & WotaK soldtier was held in the St. Aaaph Undon Boards- room, on Monday night. by Mr F. LJeweUyn Jonea, the Flintshire coroner, before a jury, of whom Mr Mo&es Roberts was foreman. The deceased was Private Rd. Grimths, of t<he 2nd Ba.t+aSon of the Royal Welsih Fusiliers, who waa born at Cilv&y, neo.r 8-wanaoa,, where his parent.s at.iU reside. He e ridisted at Swansea, on Ma,rch llth. 1893, at the age of 18 years, a.nd went through the South African. War, subse- quently saw aervÍc() in Imd:i& amd Burma. a.D'd returned wounded fr<M'n the Baittle of Mons in the present war, haviThg boem shot through tho left elbow. For the la.t two montha he had bc,on en'tertained as a convalescent with other so'diera at Bryno&]yn, St. Asaph, the residence of Mr It E. Birch, J.P., and having made &n exceUent recovery he was looking forward to ret,llrrÙlg to the front in a.bo'u.t a fortnight's time. At daybreak on Sunday his lifeless body was found by the road&ide between St. Asaph a.nd Bode!wyd)dan, and investigations showed that he had b&Cfn "on the apree" with a com- rade, and had. succumbed to tiho eNects of aJco- hoiism and exposure, the night being a very frosty erne. The lioene&e of the Swan Inn, St. Asaph. g-ave evitdeaice to the e&'ect that deioeascd, with a corn- pa.TMon, had some drink at his hofuee. The-y wera not drttnk when! they were served. After hearing a.U the evidence, the Coroner said the Hcencee's conduct seemed to him to call for the strc-ng-cet. censure, a.nd he shou!d lay the whoJe of the evidence bsfofe the OhiefOon" stable, with a, view to other proceedings. The fury's verdt'ct was "Death due to coEapse, &oee'lerajted by thioobodiem antd exposure."

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY." NONCONFORMIST MINISTER'S APPEAL 1 TO LLANRWST METHODISTS. The Rev. LTugh Wil-jams, Ajniwoh, in a. re inarkablo war sermon, extending over an h<yur a.nd a haK, at Zion C.M. Ohapet, LLanrwst, on Sunday, declared he had witne-ed the sinking of the "Ca.mba.nk," on Amiwch, the previous mor.n- mg'. These were terrible ti.mee, but he had great hopes that the We'lsh Army composed of men who had been brought up in the Sunday Schools Md fea-red. Grod, would be instrumontAi in tum- ing the tideofbatHc, andi wouid become the toroh in the hajid of God to wither away that power which had risen &ga.i:nst humamty. But ne wa.rned his h.a.rer5 that even they had ctutic.a to perform.. If they were unaMe to join the ramks of uhe:r oompa.tnott?, they could oz%st to provide them with comforts—even to their la)et pe<nny. He saw the mighty wheel of God as it appeared in the vis'ton of EzekicJ, re<'ed!i.ng' for the moment to gather force for a. grea.te'r forward move.menjt than ever, a. movement which would transform the Continent of Europe from Hoody battle field3 into an eartHy paradise where t)he law of God ,tnd.t,he love cf Christ wcujd prevail. He would however warn every man that he had & duty to perform, aj)d he would advice them in the wofds of CroniwcH, "To trust in God, but keep your powder dry."

Don't you thrill with pride and glory, As all citizens should do, When you think that in her danger Dear old Englaud turns to you? Can't you trust your noble country To take care of child and wife, Whi!e for once you leave your nresitle And for England stake your life? P'raps you like your friends'and neighbor Working valiantly while you Sit at home and scan the papers, In between your sips of brew. Don't you wish to join the heroes Who so gallantly march by To the tune of Tipperary (England's latest battle crv)? Don't you think that if Lord" Roôerté At the age of eighty-two Could go and join the Indians That you might go there too? Instead of cursing your ill-luck, That you should be alive And well and hale and hearty And just under thirty-nve. Can't you feel that it's an honour That the Fates convey to few To nght for King and Country For. a cause that's good and true? Don't the visions of the trenches, With all the gallant slain, Call to you to fill the spaces That they ne'er can hold again?

t " CLIO " BOY'S ESCAPADE
t CLIO BOY'S ESCAPADE ) ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE IN A BOAT. At a ChMre'n's Court, on Tuesdiay, at Bangor, Thomaa Kirkwood (15) was oharged wfifth oom- mittimc a breach af ths rules and ebsoonctbig <!r<xm. tme Chi.o" traintintg-ship. Mr Ho<r.a.t;o JOI1lŒ, who presented for Hie Autihofitiea of the "C!o," appEed that the defen- da-Dt should be sent to a ref'cIl'IDa,tocy, u.nder the OhildrCtn's Act. He said that Kirkwood, since ho had been on board the "CLio, had proved a troublesome boy. On o.no occ-aslon he hid him- ae'!f in a ta.Hk In the ship's wat,r-boat, and whilst it waa moored alloqgsi,d the Badger Pier he mwde off, but was ca.Urght later in the day on the road betwe'en Ban'gor and Aber, and brought bajok to the ship. Oa.pt. Lan.gdon, R.N., comma.nde'r of fihe OMo," asked the Bench to sand. the boy to the H.S'wall Reformatory Sciho'o!. He had proved one of the moot troublesome botys on the ship, a'nd could not be trusted. In the absence of haJif the oBicejs einoe the outbreak Otf the war, it had been impoaai.Me to exercise the same super- vision over the &fendant. T,,Ile majority of the bo-ys had .behaved very we.U since war was de- oLared, out of pure patriotJem. They knew the gtaff hAd bæn i-,ed,ue-ed, and had tried to help the s.uthoritiea of the ship. No fewer tha,n 32 of tho big boys had entered tho Na.vy, a.nd nine tthe Army, since the outbreak o'f the waf. In fact, moat of the b-,g boys of tiho shi.p had gone. The Magistrates' Ctctrk (Mr Vincent) &sked wihethct- the defendant cou.Id not be given an- other chance. Ho might turn out a/'l right. Orupt. L/a.n'gdon sa.id the' detfendaint, with other boys, on January 50tih, attempted to escape in a. boia.t, in whiich thpy ahould have brought the night watchman .aibo'a.rd. They were sent to the Pier for the night watchma.n, but instead of going there they m&de for the ope-n sea, and were picked up next d<ay by & fishing-boat, and retu.rn!ed to the sh!jp. 'nicy had got between Puffin I.Pia,n,d and tihe Grc<Lt Orme's Head. Ho (Oapt.

The father wrote:—"1 sha.ll be' g'Lad o.f him going inito the Army or Navy." In reply to a Ma'gistra.te, Capt. L-anigdMt said thfat no boy v.'o.uld bo ae.oepted into the Navy from a reformatory gc'hoo], but the defendant mt'gh.t be a.b!'a to g-et into the Army if he bp- haved himseM. He woul.d remain at HeswaJl Bo'r t!weJve months. The Magidraitc'a' 0!erk thought it a. pity to spoil the' boy's chance to CMter the Navy. Capt. Laalgdon: I would never recommend him for the Navy. Mr W. P. Matthews (a. magistrate): I suppose if he behaves him<?pM lie wiU get on ? -C,b,pt. Lamgdon: Yes; tJwy are able to get good billets as wireless operators. James Sharpies (16) elated that on January 30fh he was in the bCt:ltt which wa.s sentt to fetch th.e night watchn-xain from the Pie-r. The boat was not taken to the Pier.

GARDENING NOTES. I (BY HORACE J. WRIGHT, F.R.U.S.). POTATOES. I In view of the moro than usual importance of ve-g-,tabler,, during the cnauing seaso'n it has been r<-9olved to devot'e the entire space at dis- poea.1 this week and next week to a co.nc?:d'era.tio'n of ths most va.'uab!e ki'nds, and in each instance the &a-Lie-nt points in successful culture will be given. It is natural In such o"reamsta,noes tha,t a commencement shall be made witti potatoes since theso are by far the most useful economic plants Oif British gardens. Tha.t they are compajatlvely easy to grow is per'fectty well known. and those who have had experience with them Njppreciate equally well the fact t-li,at they have marked peculiarities, oopec,iaHy in regard to soil. For c-,ainple, a vaj-iety will crop sple,ldidly, prove fairly resist- ant of disease, and cook admirably in one soil, while in another, perha.ps only a mile or two away, it wiH be a. dismal failure. It is for that reason that it is never really safe to recommend particula.r varieties, but in the present instance a few names will be given of those which cac be bought in nearly every village in the land. ajid oerba.inly in a.U towns, but glowers who have proved certain sorts will be well advised not to give them up, though they ought to try one or two fresh ones each season in the hope of nnd' ing somc'thing superior to the old favourite's. The es&entials to success are ground in perfect condition, excellent seed hubcrs, and suit. abLe va<rieties. Le.t us take. each point in turn. It is commonly supposed that the potato de- m'aji'ds a very rich ao''I, but stich is not the case. In the deeply and thorouighly cultivated quar- ters of the garden or a.Uc'tment a moderate dree- ing of rotted manure is pr&fer&ble to a heavy one if it can. be supplemented by an application of a oboeen. concentrated fertiliser. As far as the dung- is concerned work it into the lower spit, if poss.bl'o; if no't. put it at the bo't- torn of the top spit, while tho fertiliser ou)ght t.o go into t'h'e top eight inch&s, a fortnight or three weeks prior to pLa.ntintg. Soot, too, is very ser- v iceab le. but is rather a.pt to blaek&n the crop in strong Ia.n,d; the oooJdng qualitiea witi not, how- ever, he nm,paired. Wood aehes, where procur- aMc, are useful to put in the drills both under Mid qver the sets; they improve the catin)g' mMjIity oonsideKt.'bly. It is essential that they shall be stored aibsolutely dry until the time for u&e. For p1a:nrting drills are better than holes made with a dibber, and they should be R!bout four inches deep on sbron.g land and six inches deep on eajtdy soils. For nrst early variet'es draw them 20 inollea asunder, for secon.d cariy vane- ties 27 inoh.e..s aaunder, and for main crop and late varieties 33 inches to 36 inches asunder, according to the fertiHy of the aoil and the vi-g- our of the variety. In respect of seed tubcra one haa not the aLtglnteat he&Ltation in paying that it is quite im- poœbie to be too paj'ticul'ar because no care in cultu.ro c&n. ensure a b:;g orcp when poor s&ed is used. In aJmost all instances new &eed each year is m:ee; but certainly there should be a change e,ve,ry two years. Th.e bes't seed tubera are those expressly grown for the purpose in Scotland, Ire- land, and Lincolnshire, and the most <satisfactory 8IVerage weight is three curcee except in the case of a few str<N))g growing late varieties on very good land when &et6 weighing 2goz. are prefer- able. They must be guaranteed freo from d-ia- ease, while even more than ordinary care is im- perative in diatncts where the Black Wart dis- ease has appeared. The seta must be placed twelve irtdbea a<pa<rt for the nrst earhes and &fteen injcihfea for the eecond earlies and lat-ea- It is eXJOe.1lI1t practice to sprout every set beffore plajn'ting aa this rendena success almost certain and Bacilitatea any srteps which it may 'bo iwoewary to tak'e lat<r against disP.ase.
