The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its 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, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 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 entel
Convention Hall, where the technica
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, thu

According to statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis fully 1880
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 available statistics, shows that az
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 q
cure in any climate, under any cir
cumstances. More than this, at least
60 per cent of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not sufii
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means thai
ABS consumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
relief every year.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-

foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that 1t will

valuable to anyone interested in foods.

AS the train rolled steadily on its
way. Horace Leith leaned upon the
car window sill gazing out upon the
New England landscape. There was
nothing particularly attractive in the
prospect. but 1t was many years since
he had taken this route which led to
his old village home OF Chelsea. and
he was endeavoring to recall certain
features OF the journey which had
once been familiar. 1t was far cry
from those old days to the present,
when he had gained recognition as a
successful business man In New York.
Suddenly his musings were inter
rupted by jerk Of the car and the
sharp call of the brakeman for another
station. He turned arC4nd and watched
the passengers who we're entering and
with a baby in her arms, attired in
black, took the seat directly in front
of him and drew his attention for a

he leaned back In his former position
Presently the baby climbed back on
the seat, in one hand a rubber doll and
the other clutching the plush cushion
In her efforts to attract Leith's atten

red little lips issued an imperious
command:

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made 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-
nized that the use of the new fuel
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 Oh
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 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 t.
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. Thi
was certainly more than sufficient t
bring out any weaknesses, if such ha
existed. Still more important wa

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 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 lubri-

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 couple OF
minutes; but SO completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that 1T Is
