TAKES PLACE OF GASOLINE
Mixture of Alcohol and Benzoi Has Been Found to Be a satisfae-
 tory Substitute.

The high cost of gasoline is becom- ing such a problem that governments and scientists all over the world have attempted to find-a substitute. In Ger many, where gasoline is almost unob- tainable, it is understood that a new mixture of alcohol and benzoI has proved satisfactory. A writer in the Scientific American gives the following table as an indication of the results achieved: .<--
 With one part benZOl and one part alcohol a touring car equipped with an ordinary carburetor made 42 miles an hour and ran & distance of 4.66 miles upon one pint of the fuel. With one part benZol and two parts alcohol the speed was fl miles. and the distance covered 4.47 miles. This shaded down to 36 miles an hour and 3,72 miles on a mixture of one part benzol and five parts alcohol.
 The same car, operated with pure benzol, acquired speed of F miles an hour and ran a distance of 3.79 upon one pint of fuel. With pure gasoline it made Al miles an hour, running 3.60 miles.
 Alcohol is easily obtainable, and ben. zol in large quantities is now being dis titled in both the United States and Germany from coal tar. So the mix tures as worked out by the Germans, can be had cheaper than gasoline, and the results are almost as good. In the case of Germany, the discovery has been boon of inestimable value.

URGED ONWARD TO SUCCESS
According to Writer ef Note, individual Winner Is Not Always Entitled
 to All Credit

Mary Roberts Rinehart, writing for the American Magazine, says:
 'Back of every success there is some one person, or group of persons, uRheFalded and unSuus. to whom much of the credit is due. My husband has st0nd Squarelys behind me. always. Ills belief In me, his steadincss and his sanity and his humOr have kept me going, when, as has happened now and then-my Underworld Of letters has shaken under my feet
 ''I sometimes think, if were adyis- Ing young woman as t0-R career, that I should say: First pick your hus- band
 ''It Is impossible to try to tell how I have attempted to reconcile my pri- Vate life with my public work without mentioning my husband. Because, aft CT all. it requires two people. a map and a woman, tO organize a home, and those two people must he in accord. It has been a sort of family creed of ours that we do things together. We have tried, because of the varied out side interests that pull hard, to keep the family life even more intact than the average. Differing widely as they dO, my husbands profession and my career we have been compelled to work apart. But we have relaxed, rested and played together.
 And this rule holds good for the family, although I am afraid our play time is over for q while. Not alto gether. I will not let myself believe that"

PROLIFIC CAUSE OF CANCER
Prominent Surgeon Points Out Danger in Taking Teo Hot Foods Into
 the Stomach, e

Dr. William J, Mayo of Rochester,, Minn., now major in the United States army, says that 90 per cent of all can- cers of civilized man are in the stOm- aeh. and this condition is uncommon among primitive men and animals. He believes that many such cancers are caused by chronic Liberation of the stomach.
 Doctor Mayo told the national ses- sion of the Clinical Congress of Sur- geons Of North America that men had cancer of the stomach more frequent ly than women because man Is in the habit of taking his food hotter than the average woman takes hers. Won- an sits at the foot of the table and pours the tea and coffee, serving the men of the household first and drink ing hers after 1t has cooled somewhat. Among the Chinese the same rule holds good of ealing rice, for the wom en eat at the second table.
 Doctor Mayo said food and drink should not be taken into the stomach hotter than can be borne comfortably in the mouth, for the mouth has seRsi- tive nerves expressly to protect the doorway to the body, while the stom- ach has not.

HISTORIC TOLLGATE IS GONE
End of Landnaark In the Shenandoah Valley RecaIIs an interesting
 Civil War Story.

The raging of the Hillman toIlgate house takes away historic landmark in the lower Shenandoah valley. It was constructed in 1s40, before there were railroads in this section, and 1t was part of the thoroughfare from Tennessee to Alexandria, Va, and often. 20 to 30 wagons could be seen in line making the trip to and from the boats at Alexandria.
 The first toll was collected at gate No. 1 by Simeon Hillman, and he con- tinued to collect toll until his death in 1860. From 1860 to 1862 the gate was kept by his widow, Chaflotte HILL man, when, an account of war eopdi- tions, the gate was abandoned until 1865. The house was struck by a shell just before the Battle of Kerns- town.
 It was at this gate that Charlotte Hillmau held up General Sheridan and his staff. The general paid the regular toll for himself and his staff followed his example. t
 ''But," said the general as he passed through, 'T cannot vouch for my army.''
 When the soldiers came up Mrs. Hill- man raised the pole, but stood at her post all day long and kept tally and after the war she sent the bill t9 Washington and it was promptly paid.
 General Sheridan passed thFppgh this gate again on his famous ride from Winchester. Gen. stonewalI Jackson, in his valley campaign, frequently passed through 1t, always paying toll,

SAY eooDBY TO DoUeHNUT
soal<s Up Fat Which Can Be Put to Setter Use, Is Judgment
 cf Hoover.

The dOughnut Is doomed, says the Indianapolis News Recent intima-
 tiOns Og disapprOval by the food ad- nliniStratiOn of this matutinal confee- ton might have been regarded as spur to conservation snd threat that would not be carried out unless as a last resort. Bakers are prohibited in making bread Or rolls from adding sugar or fats to the dough during the baking or sfterwsrd. Some difference Of opinion ss to what are rolls has given the doughnut respite, but it is tO be shortliyed, according to the state food administrator, who brings this significant news from Washington:
 This ruling gives sweet dough goods a temporary lease of life only. Mir. Hoover has 8 special grudge against dOughnutS. They soak up fat which we do not need and our allies are sui fering for. So dOughnuts and frying pan foods will shortly he taboo and we must not eat or make them until the war is over.
 Thus is the fate of the doughnut sealed. Mir. Hoover is known as a de termined man who cannot be moved from a course which he thinks will serve the interests of his country. The statement. however, that the food ad- ministratOr has grudge against the dOughnut win pain many who have peculiarly strong fOndnesS for it as an accompaniment of the morning meal, though Mr. HOOyer's animus may arise from motives of patriotism, not prejudice.
 If the government says the dough nut must go out of our lives, then go it must. But there will be some natu- rsl regret at parting with an old and fried frlAnd. The doushnut, like pie, has become part of our common life. Many will find breakfast without sink CTS an incomplete and unsatisfying re- past. But perhaps the abstinence will bring better digestion and more eQua hle temnerS. ...4

GREAT SERVICE
 RENDERED STATE
 BY AGRICULTURE
Report of ]. G. Davis, State Lead CT of County Agents, Shows Production and Conservation Facts of Past Year.

The County Farm Bureaus in Con-
 necticut, ably seconded by the Con-
 necticut Agricultural College, have
 rendered remarkable service to the
 state in the field of food production
 and conservation this past year, and
 they are prepared to give much greater Service during the year, are facts
 brought out ill report just issued from the Connecticut Agricultural Col lege by l. G. Davis, state leader of county agents. Among, the accomplish
 ments reported are thH placing of 1,795 laborers on farms, conducting over 1000 educational and demOnstPatiOnal meetings, with total attendance of 46,000 farmers; assisted the farmers of the state in perfecting a state wide milk selling organization, which has saved the dairy industry of the state; demonstrating canning and drying to 23,OO0 housewives at demonstrations and providing organization supervision and instruction to 13,175 boys and girls in producing approximately S250,000 worth of product.
 The most significant feature of the years work of the farm bureaus was the vigor with which every bureau in the state adapted itself to meeting the needs of the war situation. Realizing that 1t is just as important to save bread as to grow wheat, every bureau very soon after the outbreak of the war organized 8 home economies or food conservation department, with representatives reaching into every part of every town and city in the state. By early autumn the farm bu reaus had a special conservation dem- onstratOr in every county and large city in the state. The agricultural force was strengthened all along the line and the workers in the state near ly doubled during the year. During the late autumn of 1917 an OrganiZa- ton and staff of workers for boys and girls work was built up similar to the home economies organization. The beginning of 1918 finds the county farm bureaus equipped to organize and assist communities in handling prob lems in agricultural production and food conservation with both adults and juniors.
 The work of the members of the farm bureau staff is largely educa- tional. The increased capacity for service of the farm bureaus is shown by the statement of the report that the farm bureaus during the current year are ready to meet demands to help groups of farmers provide them selves with the materials necessary to production, to help organize and in- sure the success of cooperative or ganizati0ns and to conduct timely money saving demonstrations and meetings to-, reach 5O,OOO people. In the field of home economies they are ready to give demonstrations in can ming, drying and conservation in gen eral to reach 100000 women and in other ways to reach at least 100000 more. With the boys and girls they are prepared to organize and provide individual written instructions and supervision to at least 50,O0O boys and girls in producing and food.

How. Patriot Soldiers suseered,

In all the camp sites of the RevOlu- tion g surprising quantity of broken black bottles are found, indicating that the allowance of liquor must have been liberal, The elaborate pFepara- tions made today to protect the sol- diers against the cold contrast oddly with the equipment of the men at Val ley Forge, One of the surgeons who served at Valley Forge has left the following description of one of the Continental soldiers who was brought in to camp hospital:
 "His bare feet were seen through his worn shoes-nis legs nearly naked from the tattered remains of an only pair of stockings-his brooches not sufficient to cover his nakedness- shirt hanging in strings-his hair di- Aheveled- -his face meager-his whole Appearance pictures a person forsaken 'end discouraged"

Set His stnndard Ainh

One big trouble in this world is that we do not set our standards high enough. We content ourselves with little performances. and do not pick our critic with care. We suit our selves.
 All this cannot be said about a cer- tain little boy in this town, who got a big blackboard and plenty of crayon for Christmas. Whatever the ability of that embryo artist may he, certain ly his ambition is boundless.
 He went to Sunday school. and while there was much impressed, as usual, with the pictures of Biblical characters shown him.
 That afternoon he stood before his new blackboard and meditated deep and long.
 Then he turned to his mother and said
 I'm gOine to draw q picture that win surprise God. Star.

RED CROSS AIDS ITALIAN
 HOSPITAL WRECKED BY BOMBS

A Rome cablegram received from Robert, Perkins, chairman of the Amer ican Red Cross Commission to Italy, says in part:
 During. recent air raids by Austrian avfators bombs were thrown 7OM the hospital near Castel, France, nOt far from the Italian line. To repair the damage done to the hospital equip ment and to enable the hospital to con tinue it's care of wounded soldiers, the American Red Cross is sending much material, including an X-ray outfit, sterilizing apparatus, many surgical and twenty five beds"

ana dissatisfied mood. He had trav- eraed about three squares and had turned into dark side street, when three men who had followed him since he left the hotel sprang upon him.
 Ben was knocked senseless. He came back to consciousness to find himself lying on a couch in the smok- ing room of the hotel. He caught the words: we brought him here be- cause all we found on him was one of the hotel cards" and, staring about him, Ben noticed man wearing suit that was prototype of his own-Hal Morley.
 sHe's the man I gave the envelope to. and who returned It," spoke MT. Archer's secretary.
 "I hope he is not hurt seriously" spoke Morley, in a solicitous tone. why, there is only one solution to this mystery. Someone must have been watching out for me to get that money and followed and attacked him, taking him for myself"
 The mystery was wholly solved when Ben learned the identity of Hal Mor- ley.
 Blessed little woman!" exclaimed Hal. 'But for her generous gift of that suit the bank might have been eight thousand dollars short"
 So Ben had to go back with him, and the bank made opulent returns to hum- bIe, honest Ben for his bruised head, and when he resumed his journey to the city-riding in flrst-class railway coach with the best of them-Nina Morley's pensioner was more fully equipped than ever for his new start in life.

There Can Be No Doubt About the
 Results in Stafford Springs.
 Results tell the tale.
 All doubt is removed.
 The testimony of Stafford Springs citizen
 Gan be easily investigated.
 What better proof of merit can be had?
 Mrs. s. P. Reynolds, Benton St.. |, Stafford springs, says: 1T was never without a dull. constant pain in the small of my back. It bothered me all of the time and I was very nervous. If I stopped over, sharp pains seized me and it would be hard to straiGhten up. When doing any work my back became weak and aohy. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and bought some at Jacobsen g (now McCoImic's) Drug Store. The first box helped me and as I continued taking them,I was greatly relieved. "
