JOINT Ex-SOLDIERS' HOME.
Phares Bells Proposition to Estab-
Hsh Institution In Florida

PhareS Bell who fought in the Union
army during the civil war and who
now resides at Sumpterville, Fla. was
in Pittsburg recently to stir up senti-
ment favorable to the establishment of
a large institution in Florida where
survivors of the Confederate as well as
the Union army may be cared for in
their declining years, says Pittsburg
special to the st. Louis Republic. Mr..
Bell intends to carry his project to
Washington and present it to Presi-
dent Roosevelt with a view to getting
federal aid for the home
Mr.. Bell said that the ex-Confederate
is poorly cared for In comparison with
the man who fought on the northern
side. Soldiers homes are rare in the
south, and it Is a feeling of amity and
the fact that union Is again completely
established which have prompted Mr..
Bell and others to undertake the pres
ent movement.
Mr.. Bell said that as the south has to
bear an equal burden with the north i'm
the payment of pensions to the Union
soldiers, her veterans. whose present
day loyalty to the Union is not to be
questioned, are entitled to certain as
siStance.

The Sacred 40 Tree.

On the night of Oct Z. 1887, the tree
worshipers of Ceylon met with an ir-
reparable calamity. During one of the
worst storms that ever ragged on the is
land their sacred DO tree was thrown
to the ground. The oldest written de-
scription of this wonderful tree known
to exist is that by Fa Ham. Chinese
historian and traveller. who visited the
tree in the year Ala \. ID. According to
the learned Chinaman. it was then 102
years old, having been planted by
King Devinipiatissa in the year 2SS be-
fore our era began. If the above data
be correct. and there is no reason for
doubling il. the DO tree was more than
., 40 years old when the storm ended
its career on the date mentioned above.

MUST "GUM SHOE" NOW.
why Flat DveIIers In Washin ct on
Have TO Wear Rubber Heels.

Rubber heels at the expense of land
lords for fat jewellers is the latest
innovation of renting agents in Wash
fngton. says a special dispatch to the
New York World. There Is a clause in
the more recent leases of apartments
that every member of n family must
wear rubber heels on shoes while in the
apartment. The innovation IS for the
purpose of securing some manner of
quiet in the crowded apartment houses.
In apartment houses where go-carts are
permitted it is specified that the wheels
must be equipped with rubber tires.
On moving in tenants are sent to a
nearby shoemaker who has n contract
with the landlord to equip their shoes
with the noiseless heels. and conse-
quently there is never any complaint of
the racket overhead in that house.
Agents say few tenants make any
objection to the rubber heel clause.

DENATURED ALCOHOL may Be SOLD FOR 81 A TON

from which alcohol can be made. They
also expected ii to
Supplant gasoline and naphtha in
generating power for automobiles,
launches and small engines.
Supplant kerosene as an illuminant,
because it does not vitiate the air, and
there is less danger of explosions.
Cheaper naphtha, gasoline and iilu-
minating oils.
Cheaper paints, varnishes and per-
fumery.
Increase the manufacture and sale OF
alcohol lamps and chatting dishes.
Cheaper the cost of alcohol used in
the arts.
Experts say that denatured alcohol
will either force the Standard Oil mo-
nopoly to reduce the price of gasoline or
will dispIace gasoline altogether.
Alcohol is a much cleaner fuel and
is very much less dangerous. Gasoline
mixed with a certain amount of air
forms low gas which is highly ex-
plosive. Denatured alcohol will burn,
but il will not explode except under
compression. Over 500 gallons may be
made from an acre of potatoes. 1t
may be denatured by the application
OF any one of a half dozen cheap chem
zeal elements.
There has been a great deal of COM

A man is compelled to harden his
heart while running or riding in an au-
tomObile in the city streets, according
to the latest story, or take chances of
an attack of heart failure, says the
Philadelphia Record. The tendency of
pedestrians, particularly of little chill
dren, to dart unexpectedly into the
path of the machine gives many a
heart q sudden wrench.
Children seem to spring out of the
ground" says an auto driver. Unless
one is always keyed to the top notch,
ready to swerve away from pedes-

The denatured alcohol bill recently
passed by congress and sent to the
president for his signature is more far
reaching in its effect than the public
generally imagine.
Denatured alcohol is alcohol mixed
with sufficient quantity of methyl
or wood alcohol or other materials or
mixtures to destroy its use as bev-
erage or basis for drinks or medicinal
purposes, says u Washington special
dispatch to the New York World. 1t
cam be made from any grain, the ref
use of sugar beet factories, potatoes
fruits. cane and cassava. Grain alco-
hol now pays an internal revenue tax
of S2.OI u gallon. Denatured alcohol
will pay no tax. Its advocates expect
that 1t can be manufactured and sold
as low as 81 ton. One bushel of
corn. costing not more than 40 cents.
will make five gallons of alcohol. Illu-
minating oil costs from II TO IL cents
a gallon. and denatured alcohol can
be manufactured TO sell at from S TO
10 cents Il gallon.
The first bill for denatured alcohol
was introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Murdoch of Kansas. who
was elected Oh a platform OF red
headed men are needed in congress"
The advocates of denatured alcohol
expect that 1t will revolutionize heat
