HOME Is Nor A House.

But there is, perhaps, one thing
you haven't done and that one thing
is the goal of all your courtship, all
your love, all the happy days of the

home for which they will battle

What will that home mean to your
wife? Is it hard to see? Put the
answer in words. 1t will give her a
sence of security that means a heart
at ease. 1t will mean to her that no
matter what storms arise she need
not fear the chill and echoing streets.
1t will mean that she can enter down

that you told her the truth when you

She believed then, and she believes
now, that your love will find express
sion not only in words but in deeds.
That you will do all that is human
ly possible to make her happy, to
keep her in health, to make her
motherhood, if such should come, a
glory.
Have you done that? Have you
kept your part of the agreement that
is ust and binding whether it was ex-
pressed in words or only in infer
ence? You have sheltered her, fed
her, clothedh er. Is that all your
duty? You have taken Quit nsur-

Spirit Motors.

EOR some years the chemists of
Europe have been busy working
out the problem of spirit motors and
lights. Some time ago there was held
an exhibition, when automobiles and
power motors of the best type were
driven by energy from alcohol.
One very interesting exhibit was
the large class of spirit motors for
business and farm work, for thrash
ing machines, for express and freight
wagons, for ambulance and field sup
ply, for household and dairy ma
chimes. as well as for the road and
pleasure vehicles of the finest class.
The spirit motor stands accepted from
it's first demonstrations.
Some European farmers reap and
thrash by aid of their spirit engines.
These do the hauling UP to twenty
horsepower for the towns. The large
creameries run their churns with the
engines. In Germany the housewife
attaches it to her laundry and it
works the washing machine, as well
as the sewing machine afterward.
The small housekeeper puts a few
cents worth of alcohol in her nickel
plated. self-heating fiatiron and uses
it over two hours without it's losing
heat. Alcohol cookers prepared the
food in restaurants at the exhibition
in question.
Burned in lamps of the best con-
struction. with the mantle Of well
known type. alcohol produces an in
candescent light of intense power,
hardly second to the electric light
itself.
All objections to the use OF alcohol
are met by requiring the spirit for in
dustrfal purposes to- be denaturalized,
as the process is called-that is, mixed
with per cent Of any chemical that
destroys 1t as q beverage.
