Denatured Alcohol.

1t is evident that the American
people, and more especially the farm.
ers who expected to take deep in.
terest in the distillation and use OF
| alcohol for heating, lighting and
| power, are disposed to be very con-
sentative. There has been no dis
| position shown to rush into the eX-
pertinent. In the first place the law
as originally enacted, placed such re-
strictions upon the production of de-
| natured alcohol, that there was little
encouragement to undertake it.
Then there is up to the present time
a lack of suitable devices at a reas-
enable cost and what has probably
been more effective than all else is
the covert but no less powerful, OPP
position of interests that would be
affected by a general distilation and
use of denatured alcohol for light
and fuel.
In a recent report Consul General
Skinner at Marseilles tells of the
successful manufacture Of alcohol by
the farmers in the south of France.
These French farmers make use of
damaged potatoes, grapes, grain and
other products of the farm. They
sell the best of all these products and
only the unstable portions are used
in making alcohol. The equipment
necessary for making this alcohol
costs, in France, from $50 to $3.50,
I'M 70 fo hnfr
outfits If they wish to do so. There,
are also travelling distilleries, which
go from farm to farm, as threshing
machines and ensilage cutters form
erly did, and to some extent do now
in New England. The advantage
Of some such method of producing
heat and power from waste material
is so obvious that some such practice
will undoubtedly become common in
the United States sooner or later.
The original restrictions have been
greatly modified and 1t is now under
stood that no farmer desiring to man
ufacture denatured alcohol will be
molested by internal revenue officers
unless he gives them grave cause to
suspect that he is deliberately going
beyond the laws provisions. Consul
General Skinner says that eff Amer
lean manufacturers will provide first
class stills of moderate price, and
encourage farmers to make use of
them, the latter will have a new
rainy-day occupation that Is both in
teresting and moderately profitable"

Good Advertising Story.

The following tale is told as H.
Illustrating how advertising counts
A duck which faithfully stuck to
business during the summer laid
several large fawn-colored eggs
complained that she wasn't appre-
ciated.
"See that hen over there" said
the duck, ''she hasn't laid as many
eggs as have, nor as big, but she
has books Written about her and
verses Written composed in her honor
while nobody is saying word about
me-"
''The trouble with you is" said
the wise rooster that was standing
near, that you don't tell the public
what you have done. You lay an
egg and waddle off without saying a
word, but that sister of mine never
lays one without letting everyone
in the neighborhood know about it.
If you want to cut any ice in this
community you must learn to adver-
tise."

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepare It at Home by Shaking Well
In Bottle.

In a Bottle.
What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the artical taken
from New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, as formulated by
a noted authority, who claims that
he has found a positive remedy to
cure almost any case of backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement. in the
following simple prescription, if taken
before the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one. half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarssparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless. and can be obtained at
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up If asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and urin-
ary troubles and backache, as it has
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those of our readers
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it trial.

Deafness Cannot Be cused

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness. and that Is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by ar
infiamed condition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed. deafness Is
the result, ard unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
