ALCOHOL FOR FUEL.
With Tax Removed, 1t Would he Far
Cheaper Than Coal, Petroleum
or Fuel Gas.

Since q Chicago professor has pro-
pounded the theory that alcohol has
a scientific value as food a Detroit
chemist has discovered that the fiery
liquid could justify its name even
further. and prove to be cheap fuel
that would relieve all danger of a
coal famine if the government would
only remove the heavy internal rev.
enue and import taxes.
The chemist is j. F. Ingram, who
has made deep study of the cost
and methods of manufacture, in con-
necticn with the agitation in the
senate for the removal of the taxes
on alcohol. He has found out that
alcohol can be made for ten cents a
gallon, and that at that price more
heat can be produced for the same
money than from hard coal at nor
NAL rates. Naturally the mine own
crs and coal roads oppose the change.
The federal tax on alcohol now is
$40 a gallon. Its market price is
$2.40, showing that makers can sell
it for 80 cents under present condi-
tions. In Germany and France,
where there is no tax, the selling
price is Is cents, but the chemist de-
clares the fluid could be made much
more cheaply in this country, because
of the greater natural resources.
Alcohol is made from all vegetable
substances containing starch or
sugar. Corn is one great source. All
roots, such as sugar beets and pota-
toes, also contain alcohol. If the
tax were removed the thousands Of
ton! of waste from the beet sugar
factories could be utilized for fuel.
In the great districts of the west,
where fuel is so scarce and high that
corn is sometimes burned, the chem
list says apparatus could be installed
in every house at cost of $25 which
would turn out fuel enough for tho
family from the waste products of
the farm.-Chicago Journal.
