whether there was any way known To
science of producing without the aid
OF nOXious chemicals a genuine wine
wholly free from alcohol. And NJ.
Duclaux answered him that there
was not.
And yet it was the Pasteur InSti-
tute that all unawares gave NJ.
Peyron the key to his problem
Pasteur himself had invented what
he called the 'Pasteurization" of
wines, which by gentle heating pre-
vented in fermented wines the de-
yelopment of various Objectionable
germs, which produced the many and
well-define1 diseases" of wines. 1t
was the principle of the steriliza-
tion of milk-which has probably
saved the lives of uunumbered thou
sands of babies-applied to wine.
Peyron, following the lead of Prof,
Muller Thurgan, OF Waedensweil
decided TO apply this discovery to
his wine at an earlier suage-before
fermentation had set in-and prevent
the worst of all Wine diseases-fer-
mentation itself.
This has solved, theoretically at
any rate. the probIem of keeping
unfermented grape juice sweet for
an indefinite period Most of those
who have tried to manufacture the
product on a commercial scale have
either spoiled their wine by practi-
cally boiling it. or have tried to make

Alvin Peyron, Ike most who have
tackled IL. found the problem of the
unemployed a knotty one. Seven or
eight hundred men passed through
his hands during the three years
that he maintained the relief works.
Winter naturally brought the food

such wreckage as It was. In il VI.

professors, men of reputation. most
of whom had been brought low by

the granary, where they slept in
heaps of straw-after. of course. be-
ing made acquainted with soap and
water and disinfectants. Later, if
they were good they were promoted,
and lodged in specially constructed
dormitories. They were fed and set
to work in the vineyard, being paid
60 centimes day.
This raised an outcry. The peas
ants objected to the competition in
what they considered their rightful
field of labor. The neighbors-many
of them also vine growers-tamted

der the cloak of charity. So Peyron
put all his ''tramps" on full wages.
paid them as he paid his other
hands-but even so, things did not
go quite smoothly There were from
eighteen to 100 of these castaways
in the relief works-perhaps an
average of sixty. 1t Is not good
business to be paying sixty men
full wages for work with which they
are unfamiliar Moreover. Mas-de-la-

the strain and worry of it all NJ
Peyron fell i'll, and during his
absence in Switzerland the relief
works we're gradually closed and the
orphanage transferred to Paris and
handed over to the Salvation Army.
Peyron decided that he must do his
work for the army in some other
way-and since this experience had
taught him how much OF the misery
and degradation with which the
army had TO deal was due to alco-
holic drink, he set himself to pro-
