It Will probably be news to the av-
erage ablutionist that the metal nickel
Is used in making his soap. And fur
ther, perhaps, he viii be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely ground,
is mixed with the other soap fngredi-
ents, the finished product contains none
of it. THIS is so because the nickel
acts as what the chemists call cata-
Iyst-that it, its presence causes GER
tain desirable changes to occur, al
though it takes no part in the chemical
reaction. Offensive oils and those too
thin for satisfactory use, when mixed
with finely divided nickel and subjected
to the action of current of hydrogen,
become deodorized and harder and suit
able for the soap makers use Cotton
seed oil, for example, after the nickel
hydrogen treatment, makes & satisfac-
tory soap.-New York Post.

Only Complete Cabinet

Every device that is practical for work
saving in kitchen has been tested by the
Hoosier Company. The Hoosier Cabinet is
the scientific result of all these expert
ments. It is the most important and COM
plete labor-saving machine SO far invented
for women. 1t is the only kitchen cabinet
that is complete.
Amazingly Low Price
After seeing it, you will marvel at the
price, as does every cabinet maker. Yet
the explanation is simple. Four thousand
agents take the output months ahead-seIl-
ing expense saved. The factory runs all
year on one product-factory overhead cost
saved. The Standard low price is quoted all
over America by the Hoosier Company to
give you full benefit of the saving. And

WORK ON BLUE MESA ROUTE
MAY NOT BE FINISHED 5c 23D

While the work along the embank-
orously and the force there promises
TO get autos over on the Esd. it does
not appear to the onlooker that they
will be able to do so. The bridge
across Lake fork, which is yet prac-
ticaIly to be built. is a small matter
compared with the blasting down of
the rock dyke to get a road bed COM
pleted along that section OF the road.
A canonading is being kept up from
morning to night. but on Wednesday
there was still much to do before an
auto could get along. and one stretch
OF hundred feet or more presented
an untouched surface of jutting dyke.
The auto trip OF Montrose people
who wish to attend the good roads
convention on the 24-25. need not be
spoiled. however, as. in case their
rainbow route is not passable, they
can safely go over the Black mesa
route via Delta, where our people will
welcome and cheer them.
Gunnison workers are putting the
finishing touches on the Sapinero end
of the Black mesa road this week,
completing the cut off down to a level
with the railroad track. and autos are
daily making the trip over Black mesa,
as, in fact, they have been for a num-
Der OF weeks.
