Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Scotch
Oats; conceded by the experts to be
the ideal food for making strength Of
muscle and brain. The best and cheap
est of all foods. The Quaker Oats Com
pany is the only manufacturer of oat-
meal hat has satisfactorily solved the
problem of removing the husks and
black specks which are so annoying
when other brands are eaten.
For hot climates Quaker Scotch Oats
is packed in Theoretically sealed tins,
keeps fresh and sweet anywhere. l

AS FUE 0 N H RECENT 1850 NILE GIDDEN TOUR.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
dOubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while ON the road under the supervi-
sion Of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any me.

}. MILE GLIDDEN TOUR.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature Of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, OF coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not one during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1909-09-10

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car In
other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv.
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of com.
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were Tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
f1icted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
mentS so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple OF
minutes; but SO completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it Is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars
both the $2000-model and the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT their most an
guine expectations. 1t is evident that
the combination of steam-the pow
er which everyone understands and
has confidence in-with kerosene
the fuel which everyone has on hand
and can handle without any danger
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo-
biles.

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED.

Used Cuticura: No Scar Left.

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full OF
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side Of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and thought
the baby was disigured for life. 1
used about three boxes Of Cuticura

it healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't a mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, eve since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach l would wish | never had to
eat anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it l do not have to starve
myself any more, but l can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and I I'M now strong and well.
my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns SO fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it.
am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"

from wheat and barley which combine

ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
It is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.

VainIy Seek Health in Southwest.
According to a statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis fully 7,1S0
persons ~hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most OF
them by order of their physicians. The
statement, which is based upon the
testimony of well-known experts, and
all valuable statistics, shows that at
least so per cent. of those who go to
the southwest every year for their
health are so far advanced in their
disease that they cannot hope for a
cure in any climate, under any cir
cumstances. More than this, at least
60 per cent. of these advanced cases
are so poor hat they have not suffi-
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means that
4,315 c~onsumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
.elief every year.
