NOVOKO SAVES PETBOL ON THE FAKM.' For the farmer's car, for his milkingmachine engine, for his tractor, or for his lighting plant, Novoko will work a wonderful saving in fuel. To outline Iho function of Novoko~briefly, it must be known that with just plain petrol every explosion in the cylinder does not give the full charge of power that it should. The combustion is not complete so that not ouly is petrol power being lost, but the engine becomes dirty because of uuburnt carbon which settles as each explosion takes place. But what a wonderful change is witnessed when just one ounce of Novoko is added to the benzine or whatever the fuel may be—only 21il. worth of Novoko. Novoko produces complete combustion, thus more power per explosion and a cleauer, sweeter-running engine result. For instance, take the case of Mr. E. Crombie, buyer for Dalgety and Co., Ltd., Wanganui. In a letter he states:—"My, car is a six-cylinder Buick, has run about M,OOO miles, and has not been cleaned since I bought it. On benzine I did 18.4 miles to the gallon. On "Novoko" the same car under exactly similar conditions and with air adjustment only, did 26.1 miles to the gallon. These figures speak for themselves." In the case of farm engines there is the reliable test conducted by Mr. Mason Bayly, of Bctt.and Bayly's garage, Palmerston North, together with Mr. Ernst A. Uhrbom. It showed that in a stationary engine burning Kaliff motor spirit, there was an increase of over 78 per cent, in' running time when Novoko was added. Owners of cars and farm motors should certainly avail themselves of those Dig savings. Novoko has been tried out in Ford cars, .Hover cars, Baby Austin, Buick, Dodge Bros., Chevrolet, Studebakor Allan, Hudson, also a Crusader, Koyal Ruby, Clyno, and other motor, cycles. It is interesting to note that iii addition to the above facts, Novoko is not injurious to metals-a bottle containing coins, copper plate, wire, steel, and iron parts in a mixture of Novoko and motor spirit reveals not the slightest (race of corrosion after nearly one year. The Company absolutely guarantees that Novoko will not injuriously affect tlio engine Save petrol and savo money. You can get Novoko at any garage at the following, prices;-ss. one pint tin, sufficient far 20 gallons; 17«. 6d halfgallon, sufficient for 80 gallons; 325. Gd. one gallon, sufficient for ICO gallons.Advt. '

As we watch America's gigantic picpnrations for an army of some 8,000,000 it is interesting to compare tlio position with that of the early menths of 1914, when the Mexican question was so serious. Only 7000 marines were landed at Tampico and 17,000 soldiers sent to the frontier, General Wood, the chief of Headquarters Staff, slatiiiji that that was the greatest, military effort the States was capable oil
