A TRAINED NURSE

to heed such advice from
such a source.

FROM COTTON STALKS

The recent act Of Congress which
removes the internal revenue tax
from denatured alcohol has devel.
oped new industry IN the South,
and promises employment for mil
lions of dollars of capital In this
fertile field.
New York and Southern capital.
lists have just completed in Wall
street the organiza tion of a $751;
600, 900 company to make dena-
tured alcohol from the fiber of the
cotton stalk. Still more interest
ing is the announcement that the
company is in possession of a pro-
cess for the manufacture of white
paper from the same fiber, and
that 1t has every reason to believe
that it will revolutlonize paper
manufacturing in this country and
eventually deprive the paper trust
of its monopoly.
1t the claims of the new COM
pany are justified by the facts, the
thousands of acres of cotton stalks
IN the South, which are now plowed
under or burned, will form the
basis Of great industry, and will
make the cotton crop more profita.
BILE than ever. The discovery that
oil could be made from cotton
seed many years ago brought mil
lions of wealth to the Southern
States. The fact that the entire
plant, from the boil to the stalk,
will become a commercial staple is
regarded as a discovery of great
importance.
The new company is to be known
az the Cotton Stalks Products
Company, aud has been incorpor.
ated in Name. Of its stock, 3d.
900, 200 is 7 per cent preferred and
$12, 900, 900 common.
