NEW HELP FOR RESEARCH.
The Medical Research Council is about to establish what amounts to a storehouse of bacteria for the use of research workers. It is often necessary to use what are called "authentic strains "of various bacteris and protozoa, and so far it has often proved difficult to obtain these. The Lister Institute did much in the part. from its own private collection, bùt British workers had often to depend on the courtesy of colleagues at home or abroad. The Pasteur Insti- tute in Paris, for example, had a col- lection maintained by M. Binot. Ab- other collection, on a commercial DAIRY FARM PRICES INCREASED. basis, existed at Prague, from which

MORE POWER
Correct lubrication makes for maximum power and minimum fuel consumption.-
You know the exhilaration of driving a car that is fairly tugging with power. You take a pride in the ability of your car to pass others on the road.
...
Are you sure you are getting maximum power from every gallan of fuel you use?
Maximum power is more than a matter of correct mechanical adjustment. If the fuel charge escapes down past the piston rings during the compression stroke of the engine, power goes
to waste.
If, on the power stroke, the force of the expanding gases escapes past the piston rings, power again goes to waste.
You cannot sustain full power unless you maintain a proper piatzu ring- seal. This demands an OIL of the CORRECT BODY and character to suit the piston clearance in YOUR engias.
The grades of lubricating oil scientifically specified for your oat are shown in the Chart of Becommendations. This chart is included in our 1920 booklet, Correct Labrication," a copy of which -will be gladly sant on request.
