f As the air passes through a refrigerator
once it absorbs food odors that
make it unfit to circulate again.
Yet in the ordinary refrigerator it
does re-circulate; passing over the
food again and again, contaminating
milk, butter, etc., and making food
compartments smell musty.
In the "Odorless" this odor-charged
air is not permitted to flow through
the box twice. The fresh air enters
the ice chamber, and freezing cold
drops to the bottom of the box; passe?

THE DIET QUESTION.
Eat What Too Like, What Agree*
With You, but Eat Slowly.
That instinct is a much better guide
to diet than faulty reasoning is the
conclusion of Dr. Woods Hutchinson,
writing on dietetic fads in McClure's
Magazine. Here are some of his findings
condensed:
Men should eat what they like and
a Kood deal of it. "Given our age, sex,
t-ize, horsepower and the work to be
done, the suitable fuel is only a question
of cost and accessibility."
Fish is no richer in phosphorus than
uiuuy uiuci iuuuw. xiiveii 11 it weie it*
would uot therefore be "good for the
brain," as 9ome suppose.
Spices do not "beat the blood."
That notion confounds the "hot" taste
with actual heat. Spices are antiseptic.
The Egyptians preserved mummies
in spices. In tropical countries
people eat more spices than in cold
ones, and the diet does them good.
Pork is all right. It digests slowly,
but that is an advantage. The more
: rapidly digested foods are not the
i most healthful. The digtstive mach;
inery must have work to do like the
1 rest of the body.
Vegetarianism is "the diet of the en1
slaved, stagnant . and conquered
i races." A diet rich in meat is that
i of the dominant races.
1 Few people who eat much meat

culosis sweeps like a pestilence
? through the grass and grain eaters?
> cattle, antelopes, chickens, pheasants,
I turkeys?but is decidedly rare among
i meat eaiers?dogs, catB, tigers, lions,
civets, badges, hawks, eagles, crows."
Breakfast foods are well enough if
you must have them, but "be sure and
eat your breakfast flrst."
White bread is the best, most
healthful and most nutritious food
which the sun has ever grown from
the soil." Wars have always been
fiercest for the possesion of the great
wheat growing plains. No 'nation
eats brown bread when it can get
~ white. Instiuct is here alpo correct,
j Whole wheat meal, or "graham," contains
more nitrogen than white but

gen"Mush
makes a superb 'sour mash'
in a weak stomach.1' "The tortures
of the chronic dyspeptic are aggravated
and in many cases chiefly caused
1 by the very foods which he takes for
their cure." The chief value of "mush
aud milk" (meaning also other coarse
cereal foods) is in the milk aud sugar*
8 Eat slowly, eat what you like, wba1
agrees with you and as much as you
p need, seems to be JJr. Hutchinson's
I idea.

Denatured Alcohol.
The denatured alcohol bill recently
passed by congress and sent to the
president for his signature is more far
reaching in its effects than the public
generally imagine.
Denatured alcohol is alcohol mixed
with a sufficient quantity of methyl
or wood alcohol or other materials or
mixtures to destroy its use as a beverage
or basis for drinks or medicinal
purposes, says a Washington special
to the New York World. It can be
made from any grain, the refuse of
sugar' beet factories, potatoes, fruits,
cane and caeniva. Grain alcohol now
pays an internal revenue tax of $2,07 a
ga Ion. Denatured alcohol will pay
no tax. Its advocates expect that it
can be manufactured and sold as low
as $4 a ton. One bushel of com costing
not more than 40 cents, will make
five gallons of alcohol. Illuminating
oil costs from 16 cents a gallon, aua
denatured alcohol can be manufactured
to sell at from 8 to 10 cents a gallon.
The advocates of denatured alcohol
pvnpof thnf if urill s_- > 1
?-w ?? .?jh icvuiuuuujze Dealing,
lighting and power generation.
They expect it will give farmers a new
and better market Jfor grains, sugar
beets, cane and other products from
which alcohol can be made. They
also expect It to?
Supplant gasoline and naphtha in
generating power for automobiles,
launches and small engines.
Supplant kerosene as au illuminant,
because it does not vitiate the air, and
there is less danger of explosions.
Cheapen naptha, gasoline and illuminating
oils.
Cheapen paints, varnishes and perfumery.
Increase the manufacture and sale
of alcohol lamps and chafing dishes.
Cheapen the cost of alcohol used in
the arts.
Experts say that denatured alcohol
will either force the Standard Oil
monopoly to reduce the price of gasoline
or will displace gasoline altogether.
Alcohol is a much cleaner fuel and
is very much less dangerous. Gasoline
mixed with a certain amount of
air forms a low gas which is hiehlv ex
plosive. Denatured alcohol will" but
it will not explode except under compression.
Over 500 gallons may be
made from an acre of potatoes. It
may be denatured by the application
of any one of a half dozen cheap cbemlical
elements.
It is as pleasant and natural for a man to
smoke Speeds Clnco cigars as It Is for a goose
to go barefooted.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
At last through the Indefatigable energy
and perseverance of the ladles we are to have
a Confederate Monument In our old historic
city and as the foundation Is being laid we
presume sngtresilons are In order. We are
giad It was moved Into the center of the public
pquare Just where we think It should bo,
and now that Is settled, we would most
respeouully suggest that a nice park surround
the Monument say 40 or50 feet from Its base
on each side making a square with four gates
and enclosed by a neat wire fence, what say
the ladles; or tbelr committee, don't you
think this would be pretty?
