ALCOHOL FREE OF TAX
Revelation i Cost of Heat, Light and
Power Expected from New
Law.

At various times during the last fifteen
years attempts have been made to secure
legislation providing for the sale of alcohol
for technical and other industrial purposes
free from the internal revenue tax of Sl.10
per gallon. The recent passage of such a
measure by both houses of congress is es-
timated to be likely to effect revolution
in certain economic conditions.
Burned I'm suitable lamps, alcohol is
better illuminant than kerosene, and its
intense heating power would make it serv-
iceable as a fuel of the highest order. To
the farmer II would be invaluable as
power generator for the motors coming
into use for baling hay. Smelling corn, saw
ing wood threshing, churning and driving
various kinds of farm machinery. In this
connection 1t is to be noted that its cheap
ness is combined with an absolute safety
that cannot be guaranteed In the use of
gasoline, which, when in flame, becomes
spreading menace under a flow Of water.
II has been demonstrated that alcohol
yields a greater per cent Of the heat It de-
velops than any other fuel, the scientific
data being; Alcohol 80 per cent; gasoline
q per cent; petroleum, Is per cent. And
what marks II out as serviceable in the
most isolated corners of the country is the
ease with which It may be produced from
all STRENGTHENING plants, such as corn, in
Guiding the stalks; potatoes, sweet potatoes,
waste molasses from the sugar cane and
sugar beet, at a cost not exceeding cents
per gallon. Central distilleries in farming
sections would be able to dispose OF guam
titles OF products which are at present en-
tirely Improbable, and the farmer would

mand for what ne raised, and by an abund-
ance and a cheap supply OF valuable ma

processes which make it poisonous TO a GER

without impairing the efficiency OF the fluid

membered that there are two kinds OF al
