was 480 with total producing capacity of
25S,000 gallons daily, an increase of $4,000

is estimated that those now in operation
are manufacturing nearly 100000 gallons
daily. In Illinois seventeen dis.illeries
were in operation November 1, making
100000 gallons per day against sixteen
distilleries making but Sc, 200 gallons daily

the course pursued by the German and
French governments, it is sufficient to
make the creation of a special commits

only be accomplished by the appointment

and the appropriation of sufficient sum
to enable it to pursue the investigation
