NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the Od-T ime
"AppIe-Jack."

twenty-five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned. until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog"
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of a century in the use
of alcoholic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year. is a good habit. and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use Of well-made Postum in
stead Of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a SEN
slble daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
My daughter and ! have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
Il shall not only recommend it TO
my patients, but my daughter will be

Uses of Mas SKIS.

among the North American Indians
the origin of the use Of masks lay"
says writer in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether Of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"

Nothing was disturbed in the garage.

TO ESTABLISH DISTILLERY
FOR SUGAR BY-PR0DUCTS
DENATURED ALCOHOL COMING
INTO GENERAL USE
Gasoline Engines, Ether and Fuel
Cause New Demands on Beet
Sugar Factories and Develop a
New Industry

Thomas r. Cutler, general manager
of the Utah Sugar company, was here
q day or two ago in connection with
the distillery to be built by the Utah
company for the manufacture of oe-
natured alcohol from the molasses
made by the sugar companies of this
state, IL be established in Salt Lake
or Ogden. The distillery will give en-
ployment to a large force and will re-
suit in the expenditure of from $3.50, 900
to $250,000 within the next year for
plants and equipment.
Manager Cutler says the company is
examining statistics looking to the eS-
tablishment of a great central distil-
lery to manufacture denatured alcohol
from the molasses manufactured as a
by-product from the several sugar
plants of the state.
Sugar By-Products
1--WE have determined that it will be
more economical to build one large CEN
tral distilery to handle the molasSes
from all the sugar factories than to
erect several at the various factories.
We are now looking for the most de-
sirable location for this distillery. Two
things must be taken into consider
ation-the location of the plant with
regard to facilities fer shipping the
molasses to the factory. and the mat
ter of distributing facilities for the fin
ished L-oduct.
"The new law regarding the manu-
facture of this alcohol is not effective
until the beginning of next year, and
nothing can therefore be done just now.
We will have our factory completed
and in operation, however, one year
from now, and will handle this years
output of molasses.
1--WE will have an enormous district
in operation next year, and from pres
ent indications it will be the greatest
year in the history of the sugar busi-
ness in the west.
eve will distribute more than $2,-
900, 900 to the farmers this year for
beets. We are on the eve of the big
gest ampaign that was ever known in
the business. We have contracted for
nearly one-half million tons Of beets
for the next year.
at believe that the distillation of de-
natured alcohol will develop into a
great industry. The uses of this pro-
duct are growing, and 1t will fill a
large field when 1T becomes better
known. 1t is largely used in the
manufacture of other and fer fuel
"It is being applied to gasoline en-
gine work, in specially constructed en-
glnes for automobiles in France and
