teresting to know how many other pharmacists
In the country could make such a mistake.
The incident also illustrates gross ignorance OF
recklessness on the part of the persons VINO useo
the alcohol a beverage, but their case mas
many precedents. Perhaps the similarity OF tne
names commonly adopted for wood Spirits ana
grain spirits may be misleading. There are
few persons at any rate, who do not vet appre-
efate how different are the properties or the
two fluids For this reason the fact that wood
alcohol will kill IL taken in considerable guam
titles. and when 1T does not kill may rob man
of hfs powers Of vision deserves to be empha-
sized In the future more than II has been In the
past
When the law removing the tax from grain
alcohol used in the arts in this country goes
into effect as il will next January, two results
NAV be expected with confidence. Much less
wood alcohol will be devoted to the uses which
IT now serves. but considerable quantity Will
be employed for denaturizing purposes-that Is,
if the practice of foreign countries prevails here
In Germany 5 per cent is added to make grain
alcohol unfit to drink, and in England 10 Per
cent the product of the latter degree OF aduter-
alton being known as "methylated spirits
Other substances may be combined with this
one TO secure the object in view, but the very
name of wood alcohol ought 10 be sufficient 10
deter people from taking the mixture into their
stomachs. In any case. the denaturiZed article,
when sold at retail. should be marked as to
make the buyer realize the peril of such an ex-

President Butler reminded his auditors that the

number of men and women interested in Industrial

Dr. FenolIosa was introduced as having been
Commissioner of Fine Arts TO Japan for nineteen

The disturbances in Guatemala appear to be

neighboring republic of Salvador has trans
gressed the obligations of neutrality or whether
the rebellion is likely TO prove a revolution
Neither can we say whether anything would

ment. Every such insurrectiOn is made on the
assumption. or the pretension that the existing
government is everything that is evil and that
the insurgents are everything that is good Ex-
perience and memory will probabl; impel the
thoughtful observer TO discount largely both the
denuncatiOns which are hurled against Presi-
dent Cabrera and the promises which are made
for his wOuld-be successor. Such utterances
have been heard many times before and have
generally been found 10 be largely the emana-
tionS of overheated imaginatiOns
The disturbances also display some other
familiar features. They have been ''superby
organized" outside of that country by for
mer Presidents and would-be Presidents. Then
as the tilibuStering bands have crossed the
frontier. resOundng prOnunclamentos have been
issued, making IL appear that, instead of Guate-
malas being invaded by number of outs
who seek 10 become "ins." there is spontaneous
uprising of the people for national regeneration
Et cetera The probability is that the only in
tereSt the average Guatemalan of intelligence
and substance takes in il is expressed in feel
ing OF wearneSs and disgust AT the prospect of
another war which will disturb business in

One feature of the case. however. is of more
than passing interest TO the governments of this

pianters-to wit, German, British and American
have been offering drilled troops and in other
ways promoting the revolution" 1t is sincerely
