WILL INSTALL WOOD
 ALCOHOL PLANT
Penn Lumber Company at Bierne Under Management of J. G.
 Greene, to Work Timber Into
 Denatured and Wood Alcohol

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-The Penn Lumber Company at Bierne is making preparations to install the first wood alcohol plant in the south in connec- tion with its veneer factory. J. G. Greene, general manager of the con- pany comes from the section of Penn sylvania where most of the wood alco- hol is manufactured, and we'll knowing conditions under which the fuel is manufactured, he knew that the busi- ness would be profitable in Arkansas.
 A cord of Arkansas gum was shipp- ed to Pennsylvania and worked up to get figures on material of this kind. The cord of wood resulted in 156 pounds of acetate of lime, SAP gal Ions of wood alcohol and 66 bushels of charcoal, with a total valuation of $10.13. Since that time acetate of lime, which is factor in the manu- facture of gun cotton and other explo- sives, has more than doubled in value, and is now considered the chief pro- duct of the process.
 The Penn Lumber Company accord ing to MT. Greene, who spent Saturday in Little Rock, has recently purchased the hardwood timber belonging to the A. c. Clarke Lumber Company along the Little Missouri river, paying for hA l. ,el, ha,. from this great tract was immediate ily resold to the Mclean Hardwood Company of Memphis, for delivery at the Argenta plant of the concern.
 In Pennsylvania the timber used in wood alcohol manufacture is taken from land that is unfit for cultivation The timber that is being cut by the Penn company is from land that is much more valuable when cleared than before. In cutting out timber for fac tories, there is a great waste, for the limbs, small trees and stumps cannot be utilized. This prevents the land being cleared cleanly in order that it may be put into cultivation. The class of timber that is left is just the kind for the manufacture of wood alcohol, and instead of it going to waste, Mir. Greene figures on turning it into a profit of about SIP cord.
 If the alcohol plant is successful, other lumber companies are expected to follow the example of the Penn company. The first plant will be of 25 cord daily capacity.

How 20 XIII Files,

To clear rooms Of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat shovel
or any similar article and drop thereon
twenty drops Of carbolic acid. The
vapor kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichromate Of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram, which
can be bought at any drug store, in
two ounces of water, and add little
gugar. Put some Of this solution In
shallow dishes and distribute them
about the house.
Sticky flypaper, traps and liquid poi.
sons are among the things to use in
killing flies, but the latest, cheapest
and best Is a solution Of formalin or
formaldehyde in water. A spoonful Of
this liquid put into quarter Of pint
of water and exposed in the room will
be enough to kill all the flies.
To clear the room quickly where
there are many files, burn pyrethrum
powder in the room. This stupefes
the flies, when they may be swept up
and buried.
II there are any flies in the dining
room of your hotel, restaurant or
boarding house, complain to the pro-
prietor that the premises are not clean.

JUST THE SAME KIND OF GIRL

ton has been asked since the timo
Of Noah and will be asked until the
end.
Mary Lyon, when she provided for
the establishment of Mount Holyoke
college for girls, stipulated that all
the household work in 1t should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to a recent date.

ing that the practice might have be.
come outworn, made the domestic
tasks of the institution optional for
the undergraduates.
But when the girls of Mount Holy.
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject, 74S Of the 500
elected to continue in the tasks OF
sweeping corridors, washing dishes,
setting tables and making up beds.
There is no need to worry about
the American girl, even If she does
wear gowns the sight Of which seems
to preclude all idea of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
It, but she is in all essentials the
same kind Of girl our mothers and
grandmothers were.
