O VER 300,000 Ford cars are runningr today on Hassler 
Shoclc Absorbers. Over 300,000 Ford owners say that 
they would not sell the Hassler at any price if they could 
cot replace their present sets. With such tesiiuiony before 
you* doesn't it seem that you ought to investigate the 
PATENTED 
Shock Absorber Cars 
And find out what It would mean to you, your family and 
Vour Ford? 
The Hassler has achfeved phenomenal success where scores 
oJ contrivances designed for the same purpose have failed be¬ 
cause the Hassler actually does the three things a shock ab¬ 
sorber should do. It absorbs jolts and jars and provides a 
irentle springy action. It prevents rebound. It eliminates 
Sidesway. And along with this greater comlort goes in¬ 
creased tire mileage, reduced up-keep and quite a saving in 
gasoline-

Left Hand Plows 
If it is true that the manufacturers 
have agreed to make no more left-hand 
jilows- it will prove a grievous state of 
affairs to the men who use the left-hand 
plow, and to all other men who value a 
plow for the work it will do. If it is true 
that the majority of men have never seen 
a left-hand plow, I should think we have 
in that fact the only rational explanation 
for the use of the right-hand plow. They 
cannot know a good thing if they have 
never seen it. The consideration that 
should govern in either the manufacture 
or use of a plow should be the fpiality of 
the work dom*. We want the best work, 
and that cannot he done with the same 
uniformity with a right-hand plow. They 
ciuinot cut the uniform furrow slice of the 
left-hand plow, unless the off horse is 
made the lead horse. This action of the 
manufacturers is dictated by conveninenee 
and economy to themselves; it was not 
based on the work. It seeks justification 
from the men who have never .seen a left- 
hand plow and who to that extent are ig¬ 
norant men. w. ir. ARXor.n. 
“Cider Bees” and “Tonic” 
.\n article in a recent issue of TifK 
R. N.-Y. on the curative and feeding value 
of honey has brought to my mind some¬ 
thing I liave h(>en wanting to kno\v for 
a long time, and as Tiik R. N.-Y''. seenrs 
to be headquartei's for anything yon may 
want to know about I am writing to yoii 
to see if you can give me any information 
on the subject . A friend of mine gave 
me .some Ix'os. cider hei's he called them, 
and they are the strangest-looking bees 
you ever saw. Those hei's do not recinire 
any hives to live in, nor any flowers to 
gather nectar from, and they are the 
busiest bees yon ever saw, as they work 
unceasingly day and night the whole year 
through, but instead of making honey 
they make a tonic liquor which is report- 
(‘d to he a sure cure for indigestion. The 
way of procedure is as follows-: YT)u take 
a handful of bees and put in a bottle or 
other Container (an ordinary fruit jar is 
best) and add one tablespoonfnl of mo¬ 
lasses, one tablespoonfnl of sugar and one 
• piart of water, and then add one table- 
spooufnl of sugar every day for a week, 
when tonic is made then strain off in bot¬ 
tle or other vessel, then repeat operation. 
Yon will have to divide hi-es every two 
weeks, as tlu'y grow very fast. It makes a 
very pleasant drink, hut as to their cura¬ 
tive properti(*s I cannot si)eak. never hav¬ 
ing been tronhhal with indig«‘stion. The 
person who gave them to me said his 
inotlu'r got them from the sisters in a con¬ 
vent at IMttsfield, Mass. Now can you tell 
me anything about them, what they are 
and whenet' tlu-y come from? 0. w. J.

I have read the letter from O. W. .T.. 
and I think there must he .some mistake 
somewhere. I do not know of jiny bees 
of the kind de.seribeil. The sample was 
so badly nmtilatod that I could not tell 
much about it. hut I doubt if ,‘i liquid 
could he niiide that would cure indigestion 
of the stomach in the nuiimer explained. 
I am ready to admit that, possibly it 
migbtl make an intoxicating liquor, but 
I do not believe the pre.senee of the bees 
would have anything to do with it one 
way or the other. Rees are v(‘ry fond of 
sweet <-ider. as they are of anything else 
sweet, and tlu'y will sometim<*s cause a 
great deal of trouble at a cider mill. Bees 
might gather intoxicating liqiioi-, they 
might take a cider that had a little alcohol 
in it, hut as a general thing they are pro¬ 
hibitionists when it comes to alcoholic 
li(luors. Should they at any time help 
themsi'lves to Ix-er or any otlu'r sweet in¬ 
toxicating li(|Uor, it will he beeau.se of the 
sweet and not because of the alcohol.
