The processes as followed were, however not eco nomical. ho that the work was aban doned. More recently new light has been thrown on the subject through improved methods and processes. Like the grain the stalks contain a number of products which can be Heperated under proper chemical, physical and mechanical processes. It has been demonstrated that a form of low grade molasses can be taken from cornstalks without in any way detracting from their valui for the manufacture of paper.

Money H AVEN' I you noticed the strange co-incidence that, although accused of im providence and extrava gance, and of buying things not need ed simply because they are cheap, the "bargain hunter" seems always have enough money with which to make all of these extravagant purchases? It is the woman who is "too busy to read the atta" who is too busy to buy wisely! and who can never "afford" to buy even the very best of bargains! To know what it ought to cost? and to save a worthwhile portion of that sum when you buy it, is the priv ilege of the ad-reader.
