MAKE ALCOHOL FROM coRNcoss.
Tests Made at Iowa Agricultural Col.
leoe-cost But 3 Cents a Gallon.

Ames, Ia Interesting experiments
which have been conducted at the ex.
pertinent station OF the Iowa agrl.
cultural college show that alcohol can
DO made cheaply out OF corncobs
One OF the great problems OF can
ners has always been the disposition
Of the cobs from the corn, which soon
become sour and must be hauled
away The discovery that alcohol
can be extracted from the cohs means
that what heretofore has been a
source OF great expense now can DO
converted into valuable byproduct-
The tests show that there are II
gallons OF alcohol In ton OF green
eobs
The process OF dlstillaton is simple.
A conveyor carries the oobs to a grind.
ing machine. where they are reduced
to pulp This pulp is mixed 10 the
proper consistency by the use Of wa
ter. and the mass Is then brought to
boil After being boiled a short
time yeast is put into the pulp and the
whole mass is allowed TO fermont
After that the usual process OF distil-
lation is followed
The cost OF manufacture is stated
10 DO about three cents gallon When
the alcohol is denatured this means
that alcohol for fuel purposes can DO
sold at 20 cents gallon. and still
leave good profit to the distiller
and handler.

Fond du Lac, Wls.-Habitual drunk.
ards In Fond du Lac are hereafter to
be photographed. and their photo
graphs will be posted in every saloon
in the city. A resolution to this effect
has just been passed by the common

The resolution was introduced by

says. Is that a man whom the council
might declare habitual drunkard.
might be known to only two or three
saloon-keepers. and after being post
ed" might 90 to any saloon where he
was not known, and obtain drinks.
The police would then arrest the inno-
cent saloon-keeper II every notice

sell liquor to certain person. con.
tanned a picture OF that person. the
dealer could post II In conspicuous
place and he would then know In.
stantly II that man applied for q
drink.
The task Of securing pictures Of
drunkards and sending the notices TO
the saloons is placed upon the police.
No photographs have yet been taken

Announcement was made that threJ
insurance companies, the Washington
Life, the Provident Savings Life and
the United States Life, which have
been operating in part on a mutual
plan. win write only nonparticipatng
insurance after January l. The new
insurance law forbids an insurance
company after the first of the year
to write both participating and
nonparticipating insurance. 1t must
make choice, therefore, between
the two plans
Their decision TO adopt the nom
participating plan exclusively has
had the effect of taking the three
companies out OF the competition for
annual dividend business and of put
ting them in a class by themselves
as representing an entirely distinct
form OF insurance.

Route Agreed On.

The third survey of the electric
line route through Rathdrum was
made yesterday by the company
surveyors. The original survey
of the company was believed by
the citizens to be too far to the
south. The citizens right of way
committee, therefore, had route
surveyed more directly through
town. This survey was rejected
by the company, but the latter be-
ing anxious to make things satisfac
tory to the people agreed upon a
third route as compromise. This
matter is now practically settled
so that the right of way can be
secured and soliciting of subscrip-
tions can be proceeded with.
Work on the line is to begin short
ly.
