L
This doctoring process Is called dena-
turing. Thus we have denatured alco-
hol, which chemists call commercial or
Industrial alcohol The other kind is
just plain alcohol, used in the manu-
facture of intoxicants.
K The free alcohol law went into effect
Jan. L. That date may be remember
ed as the birthday Of a new and glor-
ious era for American Industries. Such
was the expressed opinion Of many
persons who supported the measure
when it was before congress and who
+ have looked forward with high antici-
pations to its going into effect Some
men grew SO enthusiastic over the
prospect Of tuntaxed alcohol that they
dreamed of national utopia. They
/ foretold all sorts of marvellous ameli-
orations to result from the abolition
OF the tax. The poor man was to lie.
come independent. The Standard Oil
trust was to be smashed y to smith.
Greens. The octopus was to be severed
OF several Of its most wriggling legs
and rendered a cripple for life. Par,
ticularly was the small farmer to bene.
tft even to the attainment Of opulence
and town house on Easy avenue.
Rosy Outlook.
1t appears now that a large degree
of extravaganza entered into these pre-.
dictions Consefva tive opinions of ex-
perts like DR.. H. w. Wiley. chief Of
the national bureau Of chemist do
not Justify any. \. such; serene and
snowy attitudes Of hope Yet the out
look is very promising even rosy. The
taxless alcohol age IN this country has
|Sjust begun. In what ways and to what
degree it will benefit the people must
he left in d large measure to- the slow
results Of time. Rome required more
than one day in building. The benign
effects Of the free coinage Of alcohol
may require several years before max
ing very great showing "a d, t.l.
All the authorities seem to agree
that the removal Of the tax will have
