The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
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 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-
tion 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
tance covered on the Gidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 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 tightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.
The Holly chieftain., 1909-09-10

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 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf We're 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 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

showed tnat kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
Tor 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 We're tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 2090 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

4000-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
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo-
biles.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when 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: 81
had suffered with indigestion for about
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 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 l am now strong and we'll.
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..
I am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"
1t contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
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 sticl. to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med.

consumptives Need Not Leave Home

Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested, in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
of cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing Of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At.
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to eX.
clude INDECENT consumptives or to
send them back to the east.

HOT SPRINGS THE LOSER.

In the event that merger of all lines associated with the Lion Noun tain Railroad Is brought about Hot Springs will be hard lcser through the transaction.
 But few years ago Hot Springs people paid a bonus for short com. peting line between Hpt Springs and Benton, which later extended to Lit tie Rock Hot Springs people looked on the road as a paft of It's own property. in so much as the line would be opeated for local benefits.
 In the city now the Hot Western maintains full organization of em- ployes and operates a railroad shop. In the event Of that merger antici- pated through the press. all officials of the comnane will be cut off here. the line will be directed from St. louis and the shops removed to Lh- tle Rock
 The ch0nge will. in brief. be a diff ference of ahout s60,000 a year in pay rolls in this city.
 Ii may be that protest against the merging of this road with the Iron Ntdhfititill NSutu Dr NftfcSSi but teh protest should be forthcoming, just the same Hot Springs. through the Business Mems League, should show its disappfDval of the merger.
 If the matter were properly agitat- ed The local short line organization might be saved when the directors of the big corporation meet at St. Louis. The time to art is now, if anything is io be done in the matter.

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim Dyspepsia to be Pre-Disposing
 Cause of Consumption.

The pos mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are due, at least indirectly to unchecked dys- pepsia, especially when the victim was pfedisposed to tuberculosis.
 Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain. The weakened, irritable stom- ach being unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment. and the victim becomes thin, weak and haggaid As a result the body becomes a fertile field in Iwhie hthe germs of disease may lodge and flourish.
 Therefore, the person who permits Dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the de yelopment of one of the most insiG- icus and fatal diseases known to man. kind.
 Dyspepsia may be completely eradi. |oated if properly geated We sell a Remedy that we positively guarantee will completely relieve indigestion or dyspepsia, or the medicine used dur ing the trial will cost the user noth- ling.
