24n moonshine stills were raided. There
are only 923 registered distilleries in the
country. so the prevalence Of the practice
Is obvious in point Of numbers, at least.
The majority Of these raids. however, were
upon coffee pot stills Of very Indifferent
capacity. so the total output Of liquor from
them could not have been large.

also given Uncle Sans conservators In the

EXPERIMENTS IN ADULTERArloN.


Occasionally Uncle Sam perpetrates, for
his own enlightenment, some OF the
tricks that others attempt TO deceive him
with. One of them-common but interest
ing-is that of artifcially aging liquors
In a few minutes. Legitmately aged
whskey must stand in wood for number
of years: thus does it obtain its rich color
and tang" In the experiment, fixed pro-
portions Of raw alcohol and water arc
mixed to form a strong whiskey. To this
is added tiny bit Of caramel colorins,
practically the same as the burnt-sugar
caramel used to color and flavor cakes,
soups and gravies. The transformation II
wonderful.
Instead Of the perfectly colorloss alcohol
and water there is now perfectly colored
whiskey, the depth Of the coloring, or tho
age, depending upon the amount or
color used This is the method generally
in vogue for making the far-famed "squir-
rel" whiskey. two drinks OF which are
/ guaranteed to make a man climb trees.
The most picturesque and dangerous part
OF the work OF the revenue officers Is tho
breaking up OF Illicit, or "moonshine," stills
| in the mountains of such states as Ala
bama North and South Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia But 1t is scarcely the most
important, financially, for even the COM
bined output Of all these mountain "stills'
| Is far, far less than that OF even q few OF
the large distillerles should they run
crooked" for a short time-ths, OF course,
| I'm terms of revenue loss.
| The majority Of these Illicit stills are no
| larger than a coffee pot or kettle. and
| require full twenty-four hours TO turn
| out gallon OF raw white mule" as their
! product is called. Practically all OF them
must be located along watercourses In or
der TO operate and they all burn wood.
/ Both these facts aid the officers materially
in running them down. Nowadays. once
detected, the mconshiner offers little IL
any resistance. though a decade ago many
desperate encounters were had in the noun
famous regions of Tennessee and Kentucky.
Occasionally very large stills are capt.
ured. Not 80 very long ago one with a
| capacity Of $50 gallons was seized In the
North Carolina mountains. near the West
Virginia line. Its owner had purchased 1t
from licensed distillery that went out OF
business The tremendous task Of hauling
I the huge affair up the mountain roads In
such a way as to avoid suspicion was ex-
citing in the extreme.
