Wood Alcohol.

Wood alcohol Is used largely as a
solvent and for various chemical pur-
poses. Beech. birch and maple are the
best woods for the production of wood
distillation products. Elm, chestnut
and cherry are not desirable woods for
the wood distillation industry, because
they contain too much tannin, gums,
etc.

MEXICO AND DRINK.

"Pancho" Villa, the Mexican leader,
has declared for prohibition. Person
ally he Is total abstainer and does
not even smoke. In an interview re-
Gently he announced: Mexico will be
without liquor when peace comes If 1t
Is in my power. Mexico is suffering
from it now. 1t is not only the effect
of the drink upon those who drink it,
but the effect upon those who are to
come. Most of the epilepsy is caused
by drunkenness. The children are the
sufferers and, as usual, the poor suffer
the most from it. The president of a
people might not be a drinker himself,
but so long as he permits his people
to play with poison he is showing him.

keepers have been executed for selling

For years we dry, teetotal cranks

THE SECOND GENERATION.

Ex-President Taft and his two sons,
Robert w. and Charles p, differ de-
cidedly on the prohibition question.
Shortly after Mr.. Taft vetoed the Ken
yon-Webb bill as unconstitutional,
Robert w. Taft, his Oldest son, pub
lished in the Harvard Law Review an
article showing that his learned faith
or was wrong in his conclusions. Quite
recently the ex-president has given
public expression to his opposition to
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
ton, but his son, Charles P. Taft,
member of the Yale trio which met
the Syracuse university team in a
freshmen debate on state and national
prohibition, stoutly defended prohibit
ton and took the stand that prohibi-
ton laws have been successful where
they have been given a chance, citing
especially Maine and Kansas.

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.

EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.
BY command OF King George of
England no wines or spirits will be
allowed to be consumed in any of his
majesty's houses.
The question Of drink and its effect
on the work necessary for the prose-
cution of war overshadows everything
else in public interest.
The press and the public favor some
drastic measures, majority of the
newspapers expressing the belief that
total prohibition, which would appeal
to all classes. is necessary.
King Georges example and appeal
is said to have had a most remark
able effect at Glasgow. The shipyards
of that city comprise probably the
hardest drinking community in Great
Britain, but after word was received
of the kings action by concerted
agreement the laborers are reported
to have Stunned the bar-rooms.
Government leaders have stated
that they are considering the question
not from a moral, but from an eco
nomic standpoint. They believe the
country will gain financially by any
movement shppressing the sale OF
liquor. A manufacturer, who is a
student of the drink problem, says:
IF the public saw the time-sheets of
Industrial concerns engaged in man.
ufacturing munitions of war, showing
the contrast between the work done
by teetotalers and drinkers, 1t would
be appalled,. The days lost by drink
ers reduce their working time on an
average to three full days week.
Britain's drink bill is twice as much
per capita as Americas, four times as
much as Canada's, and far the high
est of any country in the world"

CARING FOR THE BLIND
Auditor Rowland is in Receipt Of
Many Inquiries.

County Auditor Roy f. Rowland is
receiving number of inquiries con
corning the new law which the Both
General Assembly enacted concern
ing the relief for blind persons.
The law provides that the board OF
supervisors may give $4,000. a year
from the poor fund to any blind per-
son who is of age and who has lived
in the state at least FIVE years and
in the county at least one year. No
one who has a personal income OF
as much as $4,000 or over year
may receive a benefit.
To obtain this aid application must
be made some time on or before the
first OF the year and an examination
shall be made during the first week
in January of each year. AS no one
can be eligible to receive the support
until he has been examined and his
application approved, the county
officials believe, that no one can OBJ
tain the relief until after the first
week In next January.
No formal applications have been
filed with the county officials to date
Up to the present time no official
copy of the new law has been re
ceived by the officials.
