TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 1907

New regulations respecting the manu-
tsciure and use of denstured alcohol,
which went into effect Monday, are ex-
Decled to so increase the output that the
real birth of the industry as an impor-
tant addition to the production of the
country will really date from that time.
Under the new conditions, any farmer
or act of farmers or other individuals
can establish still for the production
of alcohol to be denstuTed and can con-
duct it without interference from the
government and almost without super
vision. But so long as the business Is
honestly conducted, or conducted In
such manner as to arouse no suspicion
on the part of the revenue agents, there
will be no governmental interference.
Neither gaugers nor storekeepers nor any
of the other members of the army Of
government employees who watch the
manufacture OF whisky will be employed
to supervise the making of denatured
alcohol. There will be no bonded ware
houses nor other obstacles or embarrasS-
ments in the way of the agriculturisIs
who wish to turn the refuse products OF
their farms into alcohol. Under the
new regulations they will be SIS free to
do this as they now are to make cider
or vinegar To help the development
of the industry the Department OF Agri-
culture has just issued two very impOr-
taut pamphlets, one showing the great
variety of substar ces from which alcohol
can be made and the other the wide
range of uses to which it can be put.
Not only is it a cheap method of heat
ing and lightning, but its use as motor
power can be made as general as that
of gasoline or steam. Flows, respers
and other agricultural implements can
be run with alcohol motors, while in
light manufacturing and as motor power
for small boats and automobiles it Is
believed that it can be used much more
economically than gasoline.

IT has trsnspired that Emperor Will
liam on Saturday, in the course of his
visit to the Muenster Museum, made a
most striking speech, which is regarded
as being a direct appeal to the socialists
to work together with the other classes
of the population for the good of the
Fatherland. The emperor said: | in
herited from my grandfather mission
TO care for the working people, and
would like to see a cOnciliatory spirit
extend all over the empire. During my
long reign of 90 years have often had
TO endure humiiations, inflicted intent.
ionally or Intentionally by Others.
When | have felt anger overcoming me
/ have asked myself what Was the best
means of suppressing it. The only way
l have found was of saying to myself
they are all men, as am, and although
they humiliate me, they have souls illum-
mated by heaven, whittier we shall all
some day return, and in their souls there
is portion of the Creator. Whoever
thinks thus will always judge his fellow
men cbaritsbly.
Socialism has for some time been g
menace to the Kaiser. The words at
tributed to him above are all right, but
they are likely to prove pearls but
little appreciated by the class with which
he has TO contend.

JUDGE BALLINGER, Commissioner oil
the General Land Office, who has just
returned from an extensive trip in the
public land area OF the West, says;
The acreage of coal lands already 10
private ownership is sufficient, ii devel-
voloped, to meet the requirements OF a
vastly increased population for many
wears to come, but it is not being devel-
oped in proportion TO the increasing de-
mand. Some people charge the govern.
ment with being responsible for the coal
shortage of last winter, bnt the actual
cause of the shortage was the failure OF
the mine owners to anticipate the in
creased facilities. am convinced that
If The United States had parted with
every acre Of lis vacant coal lands we
would today be confronted with SUBJ
slantially the same problem of mad
oquacy of mine supply. Experience
shows that as fast as it is attempted TO
open new mines they are controlled by
the strong companies, who have SUI
ficiont capital to control the cars and the
rates-and | speak somewhat from I'M
fortunate personal experience and there
fore with greater wisdom. The dormant
or speculative holders of coal areas will
contribute nothing to he general good.
On the contrary, they make possible the
enhancement of the price of fuel by
limiting the supply. Under existing laws
there can be no restriction imposed on
the titles patented by the government to
the coal lands. Hence there is nothing
10 prevent their falling into the hands OF
big spectators or big companies, and
their uses as public necessities are great
ly impaired.
This calls to mind visit paid by q
number of Alexandrians to some rail-
railroad officials in Washington few
years Ego when the former urged the ex-
tension of one of the railroads centering
in this city to the undevelOped coal
mines in West Virgins. The Alexan-
driaus we're politely informed that there
were plenty of coal mines in operation
aud that it was not the policy of the rail-
roads to develop more at that time

THE "Rivista Italiana OdontoJatrla"

Professor Cali in which he says that
modern dentistry is simply revival oil
an old science. ga skull which was
found in the Metropolis Of the Elruscan
city of Faleril," he says, 'shows that
dentistry was practised by the Etrus-
cans" The skull shows on one OF the
jaws four gold pieces, two Of which were
used to cover natural teeth, and the other
pieces served as false teeth, or, In other
words, bridgework. ''This shows that
the Etruscans, like the Americans OF TO-
DAY, did not object to show gold covered
teeth. That all this should have lasted
1900 years shows conclusiVely that the
work was good. Dentistry has certainly
made great progress, but the foundation
was laid long sgo and the modern Ameri-
can bridgewolk is without doubt novelty
