MORE ABOUT ALCOHOL
Flavoring Extracts All Contain Alcohol In large Quantities-Non Alcohol Flavors Will Take their Place
 and are Much Cheaper.

News comes from New York that alco- hol is no longer necessary in fiavoring extracts and housewives do not need to use extracts unless they want to.
 This will be good news to the house. wife who practices economy, for she can now obtain five times as much pure food flavor for her money as she could before.
 The discovery of non-alcoholic food 1avors was made two years ago by c. A. Stuart a manufacturer of Newark, N. N., and since that time the sales have been tremendous, amounting to over a million tubes during the past siA months.
 MT. Stuart has named his pure food havors No-Al and they are exactly like the best alcoholic fiavors, except that they contain no alcohol and have five times the strength.
 The economy of using No-Al favors is apparent when one stops to consider that a 25 cent tube of No-Al will last just as long and give just as much satis- faction as five 25 cent bottles of f1avoring extracts.
 No-Al food f1avors are packed in collapsi- ble tubes and any reader of The Age-Her- old can procure a full size tube (equal a pint of any flavor, all charges pre- paid, by sending 25 cents in stamps or silver to c. A Stuart & Co.,, Newark, N. Y. This firm will also send full di- rections for using and a 4S-page cook book free. Write to them today. After you have tried No-Al you will have no use for the alcoholic kinds.
 MT Stuart would like to secure few capable agents for Birmingham and towns nearby. No-Al is a big seller wherever introduced

MONEY RAINS IN

Ill Wind Blows Good to B.
 ManIey Rice
RIGHT OF WAY SECURED
Jasper Land Company Gives Right for Extension of Alabama Central Through Property Toward De-
 catur-News of Jasper.

Jasper, May S.-(Special.)- )-After the re- cent storm B. Manley Rice, one of Wal
 ker's efficient and wide-awake county
 commissioners, who is ever on the alert
 for the good things of life which come
 in an honorable way, was working around
 his farm and home premises when sud
 denly his eyes fell upon two or more crisp looking scraps of paper, slightly
 mildewed and dishgured by exposure to
 the weather, and on close examination
 found them to be real United States money-Yes, national bank notes. They amounted to $15. Later in the day Mrs. Rice, the good wife, found another bill.
 This was a s10 note.
 Now, where did this money come from?
 is the question which may present itself
 to the mind of the reader. MT. Rice
 seems to think it was the "ill wind that
 blew" 1t to his home and into his pos
 session, an 'ill wind" that gives him and his wife needfuI blessing
 Talk about your showers of blessings"
 Elijah being fed by the ravens, mama from above, and all that kind of things but here In Walker county has thus been
 presented demonstration of the truth that
 tits an i'll wind that blows nobody good.'
 No room to talk about hard times in
 Walker; money just blows in. The Jasper Land company has deeded to the Alabama Central railroad full
 right of way through all it's lands north
 of Manchester, for an extension of the
 road on toward Decatur. and said deed ho in 10 a of this county.
 This looks like business and encour-
 ages the hope that work on this very important extension win not be long de- layed.
 Albert Russell. general manager of the company, seems much interested in the
 subject, but says that plans for the work have not yet been definitely arranged. The
 people at both ends of the line and those intermediate are extremely concerned and are gratifled to hear of any movement
 that looks like going ahead. Clifton Dozier a white boy, was in Jasper the other day and while officials
 from the Banner Mines prison were here after prisoners, walked up before the law and equity court, without passing through jail doors, pleaded guilty to vio- lating the prohibition laws, and joined the chafngang immediately Tor the tr1p
 to Banner Mines. Quick work and no expense to the state.

Within eleven hours of the opening OF

NEW FRAUD IN BUTTER.
Watering Scheme That Greatly Adds
to Weight of Product Exposed.

DIR. $. j. Crombine, secretary of the
state board of health i'm Kansas, and
some Of the pure food inspectors Of
that state, have unearthed new
scheme whereby the farmers can
double their money on butter. 1t was
recently found that Kansas City
firm was selling a preparation that
made il possible to add 100 per cent.
of water to butter and still made such
tell that it was watered A pound Of
real butter, a pound of water and u
few drops of certain emulsion churn-
ed together will make up two pounds
of butter. The emulsion has the APP
pearance of glue, it being sticky and
rather thick, but is transparent.
The chemical experts of the health
board have declared the emulsion
harmless. 1t is cheap and it in
creases the cost, Of the butter very
little. Butter increased in weight by
the use of the emulsion and water
has been bringing the farmers from
thirty to thirty-fve cents per pound,
so that they have been making a big
profit.
1t is said that the Kansas farmers
have been selling butter OF this grade
for some time and it is thought that
their product has been shipped to a
number of other states during the past
year. In view of the fact that there
is nothing injurious in the prepara-
ton, it Is question whether its man
ufacture can be suppressed.
Eight births and no deaths have
been reported I'm the village of Lauri-
um so far this month.

AUTOMOBILE COMPLETES
UNUSUALLY HARD TOUR
c. e. Hankwitz Of Merrill( Wisconsin,

A letter was recently received n

Hantwitz is probably the first auto

When Mr.. Hankwitz, who was ac-
companied by his wife and family ar
rived in Calumet I'm their Buick au-

the longest tours ever attempted.
Starting from their home at Merrill,
Wis, they went south to Chicago
then east TO Three Rivers and Sagi-
nav, Mich. From that section they
went south into Indiana, and returned
to Chicago. coming from that city di
rect north to Marquette from where
their machine was shipped to Calu-
met by rail. While i'm this city they
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Mercer for about two weeks.
ON the return trip to their home, |
Mr.. Hankwitz determined to attempt |
TO make the entire trip out of this
section in his machine. He went first

Mr.. Bushnell and other numbering

woods this season will be heavy, as in

forest products next season, causing
better prices. Several mining com

Through the centuries the stars have

that the end Of the world was at

Is only by the progress of many years
that the alteration of the period

This shower has period roughly

spread over three years, the peak of
its magnilicence in 1866, a heavy fall
in 1867, and what might be called a
smart shower even in 1868.
However, the 1888 rain of the heav-
ems was the most astounding. on the
nights of November 1918 the stars
fell as thick as flakes of snow on a
winters day. Prof. Olmstead reck-
oned that no less than 100000
cleaning trains were visible I'm the
course of nine hours. To the ignor-
ant it presaged the crack of doom.
