WHEAT STRAW MAY BE GASOLINE SOURCE SAYS STATE OFFICIAL

(By Associated Press). TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 15. Kansas, now the greatest wheat producing state, may become the greatest manufacturer of motor fuel from wheat straw, thus adding to the farmer's income and utilizing a product of the soil which now is virtually wasted, according to J. C. Mohler, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. Based on estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture that one ton of wheat straw will produce the equivalent of forty gallons of gasoline, Kansas in 1919, with an acreage of 11,640,000, could have produced the equivalent of 46,560,000 gallons, according to Secretary Mohler. Wstill New Gasoline. Experiments made by the federal department Bhow, Mr. Mohler said, that a combustible gas can be obtained from the destructive distillation of wheat straw. This new product has been used for operating an automobile, for illuminating purposes and for cooking, and tests are in progress to determine its exact value and cost of production. "If these experiments turn out satisfactorily," said Mr. Mohler, "it may not be many years before every farmer will throw the straw from his threshing machine into a still, from which he can draw all the fuel he will require to operate his farm machinery." May Check Vast Waste. Farm experts have estimated that enough wheat straw is going to waste west of the Mississippi River alone to produce in new fuel the equivalent of Dne-fifth the driving power of all gasoline now manufactured. Experiments so far have extended only to wheat straw. Corn stalks are said to be richer in carbon that wheat straw, and if they can be used, fuel more than equal to all the gasoline now produced can be manufactured, it is believed. ' "Some geologists have predicted a serious shortage of gasoline in the next few years because of increasing demand for motor vehicles and machinery," said Mr. Mohler. "This new gas may solve the problem of how power farming and transportation are to go on if the shortage becomes a reality. Whether or not this new product will be commercially valuable, depends, of course, on whether the cost of production can be made low enough. The value of the product at present gasoline prices would be about fl2 an acre."

A perfect substitute for radium can be produced through a chemical process which purifies mesathorium, according to G. F. Breckenb ridge and Dr. Herman Schlundt of the department of chemistry of the University of Missouri, who have been conducting experiments in conjunction with Dr. R. B. Moore, of the United States Bureau of Mines. Mesothorium is a by-product in the manufacture of mantles for gas lamps and is found in the monazite ore of Brazil. The radium substitute can be used effectively for medical purposes, it is said.

Late varieties of cabbage may be stored in outdoor pits for use duting winter er early spring. The pit is usually made narrow and as long; as Is necessary for the quantity to be stored. Place the cabbages in rows with heads down and cover with dirt. Nothing else is eeded and the pit can be opened and a part removed at any time without injury to the remainder. Some people prefer to place the heads, in a barrel and place the barrel in a small excavation and then cover with dirt. If cabbage is well matured and a late keeping variety, it may be stored in cool but frost proof cellar. They should be placed in single layers.

The Man in Fine Health Always Holds the Best Jobs Learn Here How To Increase YOUR Earning Power Thousands of men and women are being held back from the better things of life, failing to make most of the opportunities constantly thrown in their path simply because they are lacking in srength, energy and power, and yet do not know how to build up the robust health and mental vigor that would make them win.

Old time tonics, druss and stimulants have only acted like a whip to a tired horse and left them more flagged out and rundown than ever, and were it not lor the more reet'nt discoveries of modern Science, many such a man or woman might easily go down to the failure find defeat which follow in the train of illhealth. But in certain raw vegetables and grains eminent medical authorities have at last found certain life-giving, healthbuilding substances called vitamines, which seem to represent. Nature's long-hidden secret for helping to build nerve force, physical energy and keen, active minds. In the words of Dr. John J. Rudolph, a former Health Commissioner, late of New York Hospital Staffs and a Graduate of the LTniversity of Baltimore: '"It is i-afe to state that nine out of every ten people in this country today would probably be far better off physically and mentally if they would get more of these life-giving vitamines into their systems. But not until the introduction of a tablet combining the concentrated vitamines with other health-builAing ele

ments, in the form known to druggists as VITAMON, was there- any means, as far as I can tell, by which the average person could derive anything . like the benefits which this places within their reach. So rapid, so pronounced and so amazing are the results 1 have seen produced by VITAMON, that no matter what anyone says I do not believe there is anything whatsoever to which this discovery can be compared. Not until you have taken VITAMON yourself and watched its effects in your own case, can you form any idea of the vast difference it may make in your health, strength, mental vigor and appearance. VITAMON may be taken with benefit by either men or women, at all seasons and surprising results are produced in many cases within a remarkably short space of time." NOTE: In countless disorders associated with weakness, anaemia, lack of energy, loss of weight, nervous troubles, sallow skin and a prencral run-down condition, the aston isliins healthbuildiiiK power of - vitamines has been clearly demonstrated by medical research of the world's most eminent authorities.

If after lining VITAMON you are not entirely ntifled with the reanltn find are uot convinced that it lias not beeu worth to you far more than yon paid for It. your drngeUt will refund your money and the trial will rnal yon nhxolutely nothing-.

This year's hard winter wheat crop is like stage scenery not what it seems. The grain looks fine and there's lots of it, but it's weak.

Instead of being solid and full of gluten, it is puffed up with starch and water. Plenty of moisture and warm weather made it outgrow its strength. In a few localities this was not the case. The soil was drier and the wheat developed more slowly into thinner, harder grain, full of gluten. We have to have such grain or we can't mill Enterprise Flour. Its strength is necessary to produce the fine baking results that you expect of Enterprise. There was only four per cent of strong, glutenous wheat in the whole crop and we had to pay the highest premium we have ever paid for every bushel we bought. But we have the satisfaction of knowing that at least you, who use Enterprise Flour, will not have trouble with your baking this year. Enterprise costs more, as you'd expect it's worth more. It will give you better, more uniform bakings and more of them per sack. The wisdom and economy of paying for quality in flour has never been so apparent as it wiu be this year. Entepise Flour
