BENATCRED ALCOHOL.
At a time and age when every broad
minded cltlien of Union county . Is
scheming and turning over In his mind
tha most practical steps to procure a
denatured alcohol plant somewhere In
the county, anything- that sesVes to
Instruct the public In the practical
points of the new fuel Is Interesting
reading. In thin county, where con
ditions are so highly inviting to de
natured alcohol plants, the following,
by James H. Collins In the Saturday
Evening Post, Is Intensely Interesting
lid Instructive reading:
Until very recently It has been Im
possible to buy In this country the spe
clal stoves, heaters and lamps suited
for burning denature! "alcohol. A
New York company, said to be the
first In the field, opened a shop lust
December to sll such appliances. " By
New Year It wns pleading for breath
ing space to take care of orders. Yet
j per cent of the apparatus It hnn-;
dies .Hther come direct from Ger
many or Is manufactured here on Ger
man rights.
So this Industrial alcohol problem
begins, first of all, with the Inventor.
Ten years from now we may have
pointed out to us certain affluent me
chanical geniuses who, obscure and
poor In 1908, had the acumen to get
In on too ground floor with an alcohol
stove or lamp. ; ,
Much Heat From Utile Fuel. ;
Again, the comparison of cost be
tween a gallon of rannllnr. nnrl nn nf
denatured alcohol has misled a lot of
good people who haven't looked into
the matter further. In Germany hta
product is sold by the barrel at 27
conts a gallon. In the United States
It may be had at wholesale for 28
cents, and tho Whlsky jrust Is putting
out gallon bottles of the new fuel un
der patented trade names at 45 cents.
If gasoline and alcohol were equal in
nuatlng value, gallon for gallon, the
former would be cheaper. But they
are not equals The first feat re of an
alcohol stove or lamp ttiat' "impresses
the observer Is the small size of Its
fuel reservoir. One of the German
stoves, for Instance, with two humor.
rw w nt m. ni stove, la capable of
cooking a meal, consuming onty two
fifths of a pint of alcohol an hour. It
will heat water and do other work of
light character at the rate of one
sixth of a pint, bringing cost down to
about a cent and a quarter an hour.
One quart of alcohol In a special lamp
gives a ISO-candle Incandescent light
for II hours. A S25-candle lamp
burns 11 hours with a gallon, lighting

Alcohol Is intensely hot as a fuel, so
that In a family of three persons all
the cooking has been done for an en
tire month with three gallons, at e
wholesale cost of $1.10, as against $
for the same work from anthracite'
coal, '
Congress has thought of a bounty
of IS cents on each gallon of this fuel
produced by a farm distillery, a a
means of helping the young Industry
cut Its teeth. Theorists say that the
wasteful methods of the American
farmer stand In the way of develop.
ment that nothing can be done until
he learns to be as thrifty as the Ger
man. Editors cry for a second Rocke
feller to come along and build up the
new Industry as Standard was built up.
And so forth.

point when he says that appliances
for burning denatured alcohol are not
yet on sale In this country.
When the great American Inventor
shows the housewife that she can
iron .clothes in summer with a small
self-heating sadiron, having a fuel
reservoir attached, holding only a
wineglass of alcohol, and burning less
than a cent's worth of the Juice an
hour, there will be little need for a
Rockefeller or a bounty. Vhcn that
happens, many a young fellow In the
country, Instead of starting a cream
ery, will open up a dlUlllmy lo handle
cornstalks on the co-operative plan.
And before that advanced stage of
the Industry Is reached, many another
young man In this country and wo
man toois likely to grow comfortably
well off as selling agent for denatured
alcohol appliances. . , .
From several standpoints this In
fant Is healthy and worth watching.
Gentlemen of the theories, stand
back from the cradle and give It air!
REMARKAM.E FILM STOIIY.
Sherwood Electric 1I Two Changes
of Exceptional Worth TliU Week
Tiler are two especially
V
strong
numbers In Sherwood's Electric
change this week. The features are
"The haunted Castle", and "The Gen
tleman Burglar," the latter being a
1000-foot film by Edison. The last
named film is a sad story of a man
who commences to ateal In time of
adversity and goes from bad to worse.
The entire tale Is one that is pathetic
and ends in a tragedy.
"The Haunted Castle" Is also better
than anything 'seen here " for gome
time. These two features alone are
worth more than the price of admis
sion. They enn be seen tonight for
the first time.
