A Trust in Alcohol.

New ork AmericanY.
 few months ago, when science discovered a way to convert decayed and decaying vegetation into what is now chemically known as denatufed alcohol, 1t was announced that the fluid would take the place of wood and coal for fuel in the cooking room. that heat could and would be had at a cost so low as to revolutionize the industrial world.
 Chemists. particularly Dr. Wiley's department at Washington. declare0 that denatured alcohol could be fur nished at about ten cents a gallon. Farmers. therefore. throughout the country began making arrangements for small engines with which to use 1t in creating a power for sawig wood. chopping millet. pumping water. etc. Housewives were eager for the new fuel for their kitchens because 1t was promsied to be not only cheap, but smokeless and odorless
 Denatured alcohol. which can be manufactured at a small cost, just as Dr Wiley says 1t can. has steadily increased in price until now 1t brings so cents a gallon In all the retail mar kets. The predictio is made that 1t will reach seventy-five cents before the end of the year.
 Do you wish to know the reason for the unnatural advance? It Is easily told. The manufacturers have creat- ed a trust.
