icornstalk at the time when the grain is
hardening contains from IL to 10 per
cent of sugars and other fermentable
matters. IF these. sugars could be fer
mented at this time, it ia easy to see
that they would produce an amount OF
alcohol far in excess Of all that is used
in the world for technical purposes and
beverages.
cit is evident that as natural gas,
oil and coal become scarcer, some other
source must be found for fuel and light.
Tt seems probable from careful study
of all the conditions Of agriculture that
alcohol is destined to be the fuel Of the
future. It is the part of wisdom, there
fore, in those connected with the agri-
cultural interests of the country to ex-
plot as far as possible all the vs-ieus
sources of supply. In this country the
stalk of Indian corn, the yam and the
sweet and Irish potato are promising
sources of alcohol in the futures

Sul1shine's Loss.

II The Minnesota Sunshine society has
lost one of it's most valued members
valued not alone for her effective and
earnest work in the good cause, but her
sweet and sunshine PERSONAL---VERY. the
resignation of Mrs. Grace Tubbs, the
city organizer. Mrs. Tubbs is spending
the winter in Cleveland, Ohio, and in
the spring will make her home in the
far west. Almost from the beginning
4of the society in Minnesota, Mrs. Tubbs
has been member and the good work
the society has accomplished is due in
"a large measure to her enthusiastic and
: untiring efforts. -lsa 90
= She could always be depended upon
to be the first to answer a needy call
and there are many, Woodworking
women who will miss her CHEEKY calls
and friendly sympathetic words as well
as the material assistance she so, often
carried.
Mrs. Tubbs is too thoroly imbued
with the sunshine spirit to give up the
work and what is Minnesota's loss will
be some other states gain.

Who Will Help?

Sunshine wishes to relieve a family
In the deepest trouble. There has been
such run of bad luck, illness and UNI
expected Affections that could the full
story be told it would read more like
fiction than truth. The family consists
of father. and mother and four small
children, the eldest only years old.
Sunshine cannot tell the details of
all they have endured silently and
bravely, until, for the children's sake,
1t could be borne no longer, because
they are refined, proud and sensitive
and have never before needed help from
anyone.
The father is at present i'll in bed
with blood poisoning and the physician
in charge cannot yet predict the out
come. The leg is dreadfully swollen
and it will be two weeks before it can
be lanced; in the meantime the mans IS
suffering torture. His whole sickness
has been brought on by working be-
fore he was able, but he could not lie
In bed and have his frail, delicate little
wife go out to work, or see the little
family want. s=z.t.s5
A few months ago he broke his leg,
but in three weeks he was at work
again, going around on crutches. Then
the mother and little children had dip
liberia and for weeks they were all
quarantined, except the father. The
mother had light attack and was able
to nurse the children.
The unusual strain and friction of
using the leg before it was properly
healed, brought on the blood poisoning
and now the father must stay in bed
for several weeks to- come, and the
mother devote all her time to the care
of her husband and children, SO that
every source of income is shut off.
The father lies there and worries SO
over the care Of his family that he is

Pennsylvania Sunshiners heard Of an
aged clergyman, who had been in &C
tive service for thirty-fve years, and
was now not only stricken by disease,
but was in need Of many comforts. A
rolling or swinging chair was most
needed, and some of the officers of the
state board decided to invest in an
other invalid chair as all the others
were in use. The grateful tone of the
note of thanks sent by the sympathetic
wife was evidence of the influence for
good which the little sunshine deed
might achieve.
