them. Probably the criticism comes
from persons who expected a sudden

the heavy tax off denatured alcohol

small plants we're passed Whether
the farmers can make great profits
from such distillation or not is Ger.

utilize many Of their waste products

which has proved SO important a fac

French and German experience Will
apply.
Consul General Skinner at Marsell-
les, has been making an exhaustive
study Of French methods, and his re.
port has recently reached Washing

own small stills. otbsrs employ an
ltiaerant distiller who comes with his
plant, much as the American thresh.

crops are never distilled with any
profit, but poor or damaged crops.

very low. A damaged crop, poor
grade crop, or crop in time of such
low prices that the cost Of gathering
is prohlbitive, as is occasionally tho
case with our apple crops, could be
used to advantage by the farmers OF
this country. especially when the ma

The lsthmian canal officers In Wash

made to secure laborers. But they
have deemed 1t advisable to call for
further detailed information regard

Spaniards come and whether there is
any dissatisfaction among those now
employed on canal work.
Dispatches from Madrid Intimate
that the Spanish authorities are
alarmed on account of the exodus Of
laborers, which has depleted the sup.

to pass legislation that will in effect
be prohibltive.
