new TELEPHONE DIRECTORY
CONTAINS Improvements

An important change has been made In
the 69th directory of the Providence Tele-
phone company which was distributed
among subscribers today.
The directory is divided into three parts.
The first contains the names of subscri-
bers i'm the Providence district, served by
the Angel, Broad, East Providence Union
and West exchanges. The second part
covers Attleboro. Bristol. East Greenwich,
Greenwood. North Attleboro, Pawtucket. {.
Valley, Warren. Warwick and Woon-
socket, Part has the toll exchanges
Block Island. Narragansett Pier, Hope
Valley, James town, Newport, Pascoag,
shamrock. Wexford and Westerly.
The company believe that separate list
ing will be more satisfactory than the coll
lective listing in previous directories. One
reason for the change is the increasing
number OF subscribers having local ser
vice.
A new central exchange, Greenwood.
covers the territory of Apponaug, Pontiac
Norwood, Hillsgrove, Greenwood, War
wick and Lincoln Park.

SQUARE DEAL,
SAYS YERKES ON
FREE ALCOHOL

Washington. Nov 19.--John w. Yerkes
the commissioner of internal revenue. has
replied TO a letter from a New York mar
who wrote to him, expressing the fear
that the farmer would not be given a
square deal in the enforcement OF the
denatured alcohol act. and that "the
whiskey trust and other special interests
would probably be given the best of it,"
The writer wanted to know If farmers
would be permitted TO make alcohol on
their premises as they manufa cture
cheese" This brought forth a ruling from
the commissioner OF internal revenue
that there is mo objection TO a farmer
manufacturing alcohol I'm his backyard, IL
he wishes 10 establish distillery there"
Commissioner Yerkes replied that the de-
partment does not make the law, but en-
deavors TO administer IL as enacted by
congress.
las TO what congress proposes to pass
| am not advised" he said This office
knows OF no processes by which alcohol
can be manufactured except by distilla-
tion, and as regular distilleries are the
only kind recognized by law, alcohol
manufactured under the supervision OF
this department must be manufactured at
regular distilleries For your informa-
tion. however, I will state that there Is
nothing mysterious or complicated about
a regular distllery and that the manu-
facture OF distilled spirits at a regular
distillery is probably simpler than the
manufacture of cheese
! Commissioner Yerkes declared that the
law does not favor one class of distil-
leries as against another. and II there is
such thing as a monopoly In the whis-
KEY business II is not because OF internal
revenue laws or the manner in which they
have been administered.
