AT THE COMPETITIONS.

How One Performer Scored. At the Musical Competitions which were recently held in Christchurch one little girl rather amused her family when she insisted upon taking a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver with her in her handbag. "Well, you know, mother," she said, "I feel that my throat is ever so.much better when I take a doso of 'Baxter's.' I am'suro that it will help mo in the contest." "Whether her faith in " Baxter's" had anything to dp, with it. or not, the. fact remains that she was-among the prize-winners: For over seventy years Baxter's Lung Preserver has been the favourite cough and'cold remedy in New Zealand homes. This rich, -warming compound relieves the-worst cough, strengthens the lungs, and because- of its tonic properties, builds .up the system ensuring new health, increased strength, and vitality. Be prepared for those winter ailments ! Obtain a supply of." Baxter's' • without delay. Tou can get a generoussized bottle from any chemist or store for 2s. 6d, while there is a smaller, size at eightoenpence. Economical mothers [purchase the family size at 4s 6d.— Advt.

infinite variation of construction: (a) Inertia type; (b) centrifugal type; (c) filter type.

The inertia type is of simple construction, for it consists usually of a plain tube placed immediately behind the fan: connected to the carburettor intake pipe at one end and open at the other, except that a mushroom shaped cap is fitted over it in such a manner that the ingoing air is forced to make two abrupt changes, of direction to enter the pipe. The heavy dust particles, owing to .their inertia or resistance to change of motion continue in the direction of the rapidly flowing air before it, turns around the cap at the end of the tube. '

The centrifugal type cleaners usually embody a, device or devices which cause ingoing suction air to take a circular or spiral path inside a cylinder, forming the body of the cleaner, resulting in the heavy dust particles being thrown to tho outside by centrifugal force, leaving the air in tho centre, from which the supply to the engine is taken,, comparatively clean. In some typos a removable pocket is provided, into which! the falling dirt collects, thus enabling, the device to be rapidly aud easily cleaned.

The filter type embraces those cleaners in which the air on its way to the carburettor is (a) drawn through an oil soaked wick which necessitates periodical cleaning; (b) through: small bore oil covered tubes having a number of bends to deflect the course of the air;- (c) through water or oil which must bo kept at the proper level and renewed periodically; ' (d) through a large area of woven fabric or wire mesh, or both- in conjunction, the vibration of-the vehicle shaking off the dirt which collects on the outside layer.
