One other use of corn may be
mentioned at* In all probability hav
ing an important bearing on future
induHtrial pursuits. Denatured al
cohol Ih already extensively manu
factured from corn, both at home
and abroad. Despite the advancing
price of the grain it Ih at ill one of
'lie most economical sources or u
product which under different le
f gal rentrlct ions may become Impor
tant an a source of heat, light and
power In homcH, especially farm
homes.
lOxperimouis conducted here and
abroad demount rated that bulkheads
constructed of corn stalks were
nearly liupervlouH to water when
a shot passed through them. Home

Pyroxylin varnish, another mate

useful product manufactured in con

mentioned,
From time to time the attention
of the country haft been directed to
ward the vanishing Httpply of wood
for the manufacture of paper pulp
Various attempts have been made to
manufacture paper from other mate
rials and a good many yearB ago
samples of new paper were produc
ed from cornntalkH. 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.

The "Bargain Hunter"
Always Ha? 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.
