The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were we'll 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 2650-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 enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its 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 once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

scare 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 perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before the
enactment of these laws as 1t 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 cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
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-
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 we're 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, il 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 contrasting cars
Therefore, 1t would have been impos.

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-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score" D
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 win
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars
both the $20OO-model and the
0-model-exceed their most san
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
lis thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo-
biles.

sisting of a wire or carbon of suitable
resistance, and in this way is con-
verted into an electric heater more
satisfactory than those hitherto tried.
Too great local drying of the air is
usual fault of electric heating. With
the new arrangement the air circula-
ton produced by the stove rapidly
distributes the heat and at the same
time gives ventilation and prevents
excessive drying. The ordinary cur
rent consumption warns an average
room in about an hour. With the large
tile stoves so common in Germany the
heat is retained a long time, and the
cost of keeping the room comfortable
is moderate.

On Equality with Men.

Women postal clerks in Norway
have been promised equal pay with
the men clerks as one of the first re-
suits of their obtaining equal political
rights. In the seventeenth century,
when Englishwomen we're still recog-
nized as possessing an economic and
political status side by side with Eng
lishmen, there was written an interest
ing entry in the church warden's ac-
counts of ST. Martin n's-in-the-Fields,
proving that one Elizabeth Bartlett
was intrusted with the casting of the
second bell, and that all the women
employed thus were paid at the same
rate as men for the same work. An
other instance is to be found in the
records of the Fleet prison, of which
the first female warden, appointed in
1217 on the death of her husband Rob
bert, received the same salary as the
said Robert had been accustomed to
during his life" There was no talk
then of confining the woman's sphere
to work that was paid badly.
