WHITE PlMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, nl.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for a few months, then II
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had q
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores we're horrid to look at
It lasted until he was about two and o
half years old. Then we saw an co

we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticurs

tight hood or so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clear
with Cuticura Soap and warm wateI

making it tax-free was such as to pre-
vent it's use in engines and motors,
consequently very little was done
toward their adaptation to it's use. 1t
is. however, being successfully used in
both ~statiosary and traction engines
in other countries where it can be had
at a moderate price, and under similar
conditions of economic manufacture
would undoubtedly be so used in this
country.
Potatoes have been successfully
used as a source of cheap alcohol in
other countries and conditions in this
country indicate that large quantities
of potato culls with the necessary
starch content are available for this
purpose at a price which would permit
of the profitable manufacture OF ALEC
hol therefrom. Experimental work of
the agricultural department distiliery
has shown how potatoes can be
economically handled and practical
instructions In the method of nan
facture can now be given. This work
has been done In a small distillery
such as would be suitable for large
farms or communities Of farmers
working in cooperation. Farmers
may, il they 80 desire, obtain from the
government data which will enable
them to convert frosted or inferior
grades Of potatoes into a source Of
revenue, as it has been shown by ex-
periments that these may be made
into alcohol at a fair profit.
The percentage of starch In pota-
toes may me easily determined by
means of a specially prepared instru-
ment. An average sample Of the
potatoes is washed and thoroughly
dried. Exactly ten pounds are placed
In the wire basket Zone potato may be
cut IL necessary to get the exact
weight. The instrument with the
basket attached is fioated I'm a tank
containing clear water at 53.5 de-
grees FAHRENHEIT. The stem is so grad.
uated that the percentage of the
starch IAN be read directly from it.
Potatoes average from Ia to 20 per
cent. of starch and n pound OF
starch in practice yields about 0.071
gallon Of absolute alcohol, or 0.079 gal
lon OF deuatured alcohol at $50 degrees
proof. One hundred pounds of an av-
erage grade Of potatoes containing IL
per cent. Of starch would yield approx
imately 1.3 gallons Of denatured alco-
hol.

ALCOHOL FROM POTATO cULLS
ADenatured" Liquid Suitable for Man.
'ufacture Of varnish and Other
Commercial Articles.
(BY A. o. wENTE.)


Alcohol is a substance produced by
the fermentation of sugar. In practice
there are two possible sources of sugar
for this purpose: First. plants natur-
ally containing sugar ready to be con-
verted into alcohol by simple ferment-
alton, such as sugar cane, sugar beets,
sorghum, fruits, ETC.; second, ma
terials containing starch which may
be changed into sugar by the action of
malt or acids and then fermented,
such as potatoes, grains, etc. Alcohol
has been and is o being made from
sawdust, but as the processes EN-.
ployed are trade secrets this material
will not be discussed.
The so-called 'denatured alcohol
is prepared by the addition of such
ingredients as will make the alcohol
unfit for drinking purposes. It is used
extensively in the manufacture OF
varnish, explosives, chemicals, and
many other commercial, articles. II
