Buy Aluminum Ware—It Pays
ALUMINUM cooking utensils Speak
for themselves---prove their worth
if given a fair trial. They do not rust,
do not contain and cannot form with
fruit or vegetable acids any poisonous
compound-—they are as pure and sate
as glass or china. They require very
much less fire to heat than other cook
ing utensils.
Let your next cooking utensil pur- •
chase be Aluminum. We would be
pleased to show our assortment to you.
Prices will be found very reasonable.

Some Soap
NEW YORK, May 4.—“I want a
cake of the best toilet soap you have”
a shopper in one of the big New
York department stores said to a
saleswoman the other day; “how
much it is please?” “Two dollars and
ninety cents.” was the staggering re
ply as the clerk brought forth from
a case a small, daintily wrapped pack
age; “and you’re lucky to get this,
for we're not getting any more of
them now.” It was a French soap,
and the high price, it was said, was
due to the exquisite perfume used in
its manufacture.

FUEL FOR AUTOS
COSTS 134 CENTS PER GALLON
Long Island Chemist Demonstrates
New Discovery will Work in In
ternal Combustion Engines—Rev
olutionize Transportation.
Louis Enright, a chemist of Karm
ingdaie L. I., claims to have discov
ered a substitute for gasoline, as a
motor fuel which promises to revo
lutionize transportation.
Enright nas been working on the
plan for several years, and now pro
nounces it a complete success. Sev
eral demonstrations of the new pro
duct in tlie propulsion of automobiles
has been made for members of the
press and others, and in o\r!3rv in
stance tlie engines have been run
with apparently ail the power and
smoothness as is possible with gaso
line.
[n a recent test made for a news
paper man. the spectators saw En
right take his ordinary runabout and
empty the five galion gasoline tank.
The tank was partially filled with
water from a garden hose ar.d a
small amount of the green powder
was dropped into it. An electrode
connected with two dry batteries was
then placed in the solution and tlie
car was cranked up. The car ran
with Enright and a passenger for
four miles.
When a representative of the New
York paper asked Enright if he would
duplicate the performance with one
of the paper's automobiles he agreed
but refused to put his compound into
t lie tank, saying secrecy was his only
protection.
The newspaper driver uncoupled
the gasoline tank and drained the
carburetor. The son of the inventor
coupled on a short section of small
copper pipe and slipped it over one
end of a rubber tube: the other end
of the rubber tube led to a long glass
laboratory tube about three-fourths
of an inch in diameter and about a
foot ill length. From the barn hyd
rant the pitcher was filled and a dash
of green liquid added. Then he pour
ed the mixture into "the tube.
The driver cranked the car and the
engine started off as regularly as
though it was feeding on gasoline.
The liquid in the tube began sliding
down as it fed through the carburetor
and into the cylinders. There was no
other substance turning the engine.
Enright states that the new fuel
can be produced for about 1 % cents
a gallon.
