forms of still, there are always
more or less water and volatile
substances. such as essential oils
and acetic acid, present in the

then be purified by other pro-
cesses. The most common OF
these processes is successive dis
tillation being again and again
distilled until the produce is pure.
Thus, to give theoretical ex-

The necessity for this redistilla-

American Agriculturist, of the

alcohol from the refuse of his

to warn farmers that it would
hardly prove profitable to under
take the manufacture of alcohol

industry, so will central distiller

stories that strike pretty close to
the core OF American life. The
fiction of the day has been run

impossible adventure, cropping
through mazes of intricate but
artificial psychological analysis,
reveling in the mire and muck of
the underworld, touching now
the fantastic and bizarre, now the
the slushiest limits of sentimen-
tality. 1t is both a rest and a
treat to be surprised with four
stories in single magazine that

What is Denatured Alcohol.

Denatured alcohol is simply
the commercial grade of pure
alcohol to which is added wood
alcohol or some other material
that makes it entirely unfit for a
beverage or for medicinal pur-
poses. Alcohol is a product OF
the disposition of sugar or, more
properly, glucose by the action OF
ferments. such as yeast. Any
substance which contains sugar or
substances such as starch. vegc-
tables, fiber, etc, which can be
converted into sugar can be used
as A source Of alcohol. The most
important sources used CONNER
cially are grapes, potatoes, beets
and other root crops and grams,
especially rye, barley. corn and
rice. Many other fruits besides
grapes are used-for example
apples, peaches and cherries
Fibers such as cotton, linen ano
hemp. after chemical treatment
to change the woody fiber into
glucose, have also been used sue
ccssfully.
In commerce the process is
simply an improvement on th'

fruit Juices. A vat is filled will
