VARIED USES AND BENEFITS Obstacle to Production and Consnm tlon Gradually Disappearing; It Importance aa a ; Fuel. . Completely denatured alcohol In Ger many ta almost exclusively employed In providing heat, l'glit and power. . DurlnR 1?S7-S8 the amount of denatured alcohol consumed In Oermany for heat, light and power purposes waa only 7,200,000 gallons, so that the consumption for auch purposes lrxreaaed seven times In seventeen years. Thla field of hi at. light and power has rmrdly been "scratched" In thla country. Thin has been due, first, because Ameri can manufacturers were not prepared, until quite recently, to supply the requisite en gliea, lamps, stoves, heaters, sadirons and the thousand and one utilities In which In Qermar.y, France, Great Britain and Rus sia denatured alcohol la successfully used as fuel. Furthermore, loading manufac turers of similar utentlla In this country found themselves, at the Inception of the denatured alcohol lcgialatlon, atocked with coal, gus, kerosene, gatollne and electric V apparatus, and were raturally disincline-! to lend a helping hand to those articles which, however beneficial to the public, would displace goods alrtady marketable In which their capital was invented. With the Importation of foreign made utilities, however, and the dlHtrlbutlon thereof her, the Yankee manufacturers, with that keen "eye to business" and foresight for which they are famous, are now not only rapidly beginning the marufacture of alcohol using apparatus of foreign design, but. In many It.stancea have perfected lampa, Btoves, smoothing Irons, etc., that are far auperlor to those of the old world. Some Obatarlee ta the Way. Another obstacle In the pathwny of the new fuel waa found In the original Inter nal revenue regulations which surrounded the sale of denatured alcohol with such re strictions aa to practically preclude Ita handling through ordinary channels of dis tribution. TIiIj "red ape," however, has now been removed, mil dealers may sell and distribute same a freely aa any other fuel. The third and, perhaps, the greatest drawback to the Introduction of denatured alcohol aa a fuel fr.r hvat. light and power has been the attitude of the dealers them aclvea. The druggists, who were, at the outset, favored the government in the handling of denatured alcohol to the ex- Fat Women and nousework Housework la harder on the atout wo man than It la on her leaner alater fur Terr obvious raaaona.

The privileges, however, heretofore solely enjoyed by druggists have now been extended to the proper and natural distributers of denatured alcohol the grocer, hardware dealer and depart ment store and these latter are fast realiz ing that denatured alcohol has become a fornddable rival cf petroleum products, and must not be expected to produce a much larger percentage of profit than the latter. At no time since the enactment of the denatured alcohol law (regardless of the. present unprecedented high cost of the ruw material) should denatured alcohol have been sold to consumers In any part of the United States at a price In exceas of 90 lo tx cents a gallon. Valae aa a Fael. Denatured alcohol aa a fuel for cooking Is absolutely aafe, clean and odorleas. Aa the comb nation la perfect there la no smoke, ashea nor dust. By the use of proper appliances all kinds of food can be cooked rapjlly, eaal y and far-mo. e cheaply than the same cooking can be done with coal. Meats, fish, frul.a and v g tables can be cooked with greater precision than with coal, because the control of the alcohol gas flame admits of finer adjustment than can be possibly obtained with any stove oi range burning coal. Recent experiments have shown that foods cooked with dena tured alcohol have a more charactersti flavor, are more delicate, and that all foods (.an be cooked with less waste and laboi ind with fewer utensils. These exterl ments further demonstrated that cooking i 1th denatured alcohol can be done In cool and pleasant rooms, free from dust, smoke unJ bad air; that much of the finer cook ing, commonly done at great discomfort 'on a hot stove, can be done directly on the table at lunch, breakfast or sjpper, In the presence of the family, and done better, more neatly and at an Immense gain In comfort, convenience, good taste and good nature. The denatured alcohol stove which vaporlzea the alcohol and mixes it with the air and burns the gaa reauitlng from the mixture la comparatively unknown to the American public. It la the most economical method of burning alcohol, aa It produces un InteiiHely hot blue flame which, at .0 cents i er gallon for alcohol, has been found by actual experiments to be cheaper than ioui costing $t per ton. economical In the Kltcb.ee.

TOM JOHNSON AGAIN ATTACKED Knockers of Low Fare Policy Force (acstlon to Rcfcrcndam Vote, and a Warni Campalsa la On. Another chapter In the history of Tom Johnson's struggle for municipal operation of the street railways ot Cleveland conies to a close on the 22d Inst., when the cltlsens will decide by referendum vote the question whether the franchise will remain with the present holding; company or revert to the old company. Mayor John son Is In the thick of a vigorous camoalan 'or vindication of his 3-cent fare policy and la confident of routine the opponents ff mun'clpallzatlon fom their last ditch. For seven years Miyor Johnron fought 'o give the people of Cleve'anrt 3-cent f re. fter one of the bitterest struggles !n the history of city politics he forced the Cleve 'tind E'ectrlo Railway enmpany, which -"crated all the tract'on l!nes, to accept Is terms. Trree-crnt fare was etablisheil, and the flatterln aflalm of the country as accorded to the mayor. Put the country little knew what It had cost Tom Johnson to brine about the establishment of 3-cent fare. It sa'v only his struggle with the public service cor porations ami his own political enemies. Mayor Johnson's fight for S-cent far has cost him not only a la rice part of h's personal fortune and several years of Ms life, but, as some of his old friends de clare, Ms health, his wlfe'a health, if not his social position, at leaBt his social com fort and the happiness of his family. No man could aicrlfce more even for the aake of his political ambition. Troablea Forces Cricla. The mrrlta of the question are forced to trial before the bar of public opinion by a peculiar s"t of circumstances, mainly flnnnctal. which ths traction off'clals are now faclrg, and for which the referendum law itself and varloua aults brought to teat the settlement are largely responsible. It waa thought that the carefu'lv drawn uo lease r f the property of 'the Municipal had provided for all contingent-It a that fright arise, but two or three Issues have developed within the last thirty diys that have forced the administration' to a real ization that the referendum vote could not be longer delayed. The floating debt of the C'eveland rail way was the most Immediate considera tion and for the more distant future the nroblem of refunding; 12,026,000 of Cleveland city cable bonds on July 1, next year, muat be met in advance. A realisation that the sale of either stock or bonds In sufficiently large volume to meet these contingencies would be doubtful while the referendum, with Its possibility of an adverse vote, 'was hanging over the situation, was the direct cause of the decision to call for a vote at once. Floatiaa- Debt Makes Troable. Possible trouble for the Cleveland railway over its floating debt of $1, 288.000 ia threat ening; In the attitude of certain of the banks that are carrying thla debt. They willingly carried it for ths old company because the latter was able to carry with each of the banka a fair slsed depoalt account. The Municipal waa assured that the bankers would be willing to carry the debt along for a couple of years provided they were favored In the old way with a deposit from the company. In its effort, however, to make Improve ments and operate at low fare, the Muni cipal has been drawing down Its balances with the banks. The latter have given Inti mations to the Cleveland railway that there la no longer any reason why they should renew these notes and thers la probability that some of them will be called when due. Other notea are oo demand and may be called at any time. In case the Cleveland railway ahould be compelled to meet any part of thla debt. It haa no money with which to do so. Its only recourse would be to reduce the debt from rental money received. Thla would nectssltate the passing of dividends, a situ atlon that would make further sales of stock impossible, forestall the work of In stalling pay-enter cars, and defeat all ef forts to Improve the property or the service.

"The car servce In Cleveland," say. an opponent of the mayor, "has been so poor, however, that the majority of the people would gladly pay a 6-cent fare if they cou d only bo assured of the same number of cara as formerly. The Municipal Traction company has rerouted many of the lines, taking them off certain streets where they did not pay and playing havoc generally with realty values. It replaced Us striking employes with green men, and there have been more accidents in the last six months than the Cleveland Electrlo Railway com pany had in two years, and damage suits by the score have piled up against the com. pany." t On October 23 the public will decide what It wants. For the present the fate of the 3-cent fare hangs In the balance. COUNTY FAIRGETS MONEY Agricultural Society Is Awarded Five Hnndrcd Dollars Donated by the Commissioners. Complaining that the Douglas County Agricultural society had been Ignored by the Douglas County Corn Improvers' asso ciation In the handling of the (500 donated by the county board for an exhibit at the National Corn show, members of the board of managers of the former society appeared before the county board Saturday and asked that the donation be made to the Agricultural society. The discussion which followed showed there Is considerable feel ing between the two organizations, though the corn Improvers were organised under the auspices of the Agricultural society. John McArdle and J. W. Shumaker rep resented the Agricultural society and Charles Grau the Corn Improvers' associa tion. Mr. McArdle said It was the Agri cultural society that made the request for the appropriation, but in some way It had been made to the Corn Improvers' asso ciation. Mr. Qrau said the appropriation was made to the Corn Improvers' associa tion because the board had already made the full appropriation authorized by law to the Agricultural aoclety for the county fair. lie aald the corn improvera did not care who handled the money just ao all of It waa apent for premiums and none for Balarlea. After hearing both sides, th county board referred the matter to the committee of the whole. The county board authorised the opening of what la known aa the Procknow road, northwest of Florence, which haa been under consideration for some time. The hitch came because Mr. Procknow, a part of whose land waa taken, demanded pay for the fruit treea and produce garden, which would be damaged by the road. The board agreed to allow him 1300 for his land and $300 more for hla Improvementa. Frank Troxler and J. J. Barnes were al lowed $150 each for their land, which was taken.

DIVORCE CASES SCOTCHED Will Not Oo fflldlna- Throuah Court with Name Facility as Before. By a change In the rules of the district court Just made by the Judges It will be more difficult to rush default divorce cases through court than It was under the old rules. Formerly the rule applying to di vorce cases provided no case should be heard before the day on which it waa na slgned In the bar docket, but If a case wns filed after the bar docket had been made up It might be heard immediately after atuawer day. This gives a priority to casea filed after the bar docket had been mads up. Under the changed rule unaBslgned cases cannot be heard until after the last as signment day. I'nder the old rule a ense filed Just before the opening of the Octo ber term of court could be heard If there was no answer on October 20. Under the new rule it will have to wait until after October 30, and then tske Its turn. While the rule Is not a radical one It will affect a number of divorce cases. St. Loals Street Car Stolen. ST.
