Little Soldiers
In your blood are the million*

To make and keep these little soldiers
healthy and strong, is simply to make
and keep the blood of the right quality
and quantity.
This is just what Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does — it helps the little soldiers in your
blood to fight disease for you.

“Fighting Bob” Evans, during his
last stay in Washington, was one even
ing a guest at a house where be met a
number of the younger spt of tbe capi
tal.
As the admiral was leaving he
chanced to pick up from the floor a
very dainty handkerchief, edged with
lace. He was gravely inspecting this
"trifle, light as air.” when a rather
effenilnnte-looklng young man hastened
forward to claim it.
"Ycur sister's, no doubt,” said the ad
miral, as he handed it over.
"Oh, no,” said the young wan, “It’s
mine.”
Evans scrutinized the young man
closely. “Would you mind telling me

HUNTERS’&TRAFPERS’GUIDE,?;^
ByC. E. Bradley, ( regon Agricultural College
C orvaUu.
On June 7, 19)6. congress passed a
law removing the internal’revenue tax
of $2 07 per gikn on grain alcohol
which had been properly denatured or
rendered unfit lor drinking purposes
by the addition of certain materials,
such as wood alcohol, benzine or py
ridine. It was hoped that by the re
moval of this tax alcohol could be ob
tained cheaply enough to qompete
with petroleum for light and fuel. The
demand for such alcohol can be read
ily seen when we note that approxi
mately 3.000,000 gallons of gasoline
are consumed daily in the country and
that the increased demand for it, due
to the development of the modern ex
plosion motor, has doubled its price
in the last ten years. Indiana and
Ohio oils contain only about 5 per
cent of gasoline and the per cent of
the lighter distillate in California and
Texas crude oil is very low. The
supply of gasoline therefore seems to
be limited, but the demand increasing.
Alcohol, it has been demonstrated,
can meet this demand. Furthermore,
the annual consumption of kerosene
in the United States approximates 1.-
000,000,000 gallons, three-fourths o1
which arc probably used by the far
mers. Since one galkn of alcohol is
equivalent to two gallons of kerosen«
for lighting purposes, 375,000.000 gal
lons of alcohol could be used on the
farms of this country each year. This
would require for its production 140,-
000,000 bushels of corn, or 5,000,000
acres, an increase of 5 per cent over
that now grown. If made from pota
toes, this 375,000,000 gallons of alcohol
would require 450,000.000 bushels, or
5,000,000 acres, an increase of 60 per
cent over that now produced. The
present consumption of alcohol
amounts to but 16,000,000 gallons per
year.
Ethyl or grain alcohol is a natural
product, formed by the fermentation
of various kinds of sugar through the
agency of yeast organisms. Since
starch is readily convertible into su
gar by either natural or artificial
means, materials which contain nota
ble quantities of either starch or su
gar may be utilized for making alco
hol. The more important sources of
alcohol are the cereals, potatoes, mo
lasses and fruits. In France alcohol
is chiefly made from the sugar beet, in
Germany from the potato, and in
America from corn. A bushel of corn
will yield approximately 2} gallons oi
95 per cent alcohcl; a bushel of pota
toes three-fourths of a gallon and a
bushel of apples one-third of a gallon
In the large distilleries it costs
about 17 cents t? manufacture and
place on the mark ft one gallon of al
cobol. and the cost of the raw material
used brings this o dinarily to approx
imately 30 cents. Allowing for the
necessary profit, alcohol will reach the
consumer at about <0 cents per gallon
But alcohol at 40 cents can compete
with kerosene at it cents for lighting
purposes, since alcohol has twice the
illuminating value of kerosene, and in
competition kerosene can never de
mand more than one-half the market
price of alcohol.
For making cheap alcohol a cheap
concentrated raw product and a well
equipped plant are necessary. The
plant should have a capacity of at
least 100 gallons per day, the ccst of
such a plant being in the neighbor
hood of $10,000. No such plant can
operate successfully on waste pro
ducts alone, especially if such are to
be obtained for only a brief part of
the year, as, for example, waste fruits.
There must be some more stapl: pro
duct as a basis, with the waste ma
terials handled as a side issue. For a
staple in the Northwest we must look
to potatoes or sugar beets, and dam
aged grain when it can be secured, on
which materials, together with various
waste products, a plant could- be op
erated throughout the year.
