Most people. when informed Of the
fact that alcohol 10 being manufactured

tbA product Is the so-called wood alco-
hoi' of commerce. This is not the case,
and Q statement of the two processes
Of manufacture makes the distinction
clear. True wood or methyi alcohol is
produced by the destructive distillation
of wood. Cord wood II placed in q re-
tort, which IL heated until the gases
and liquids are driven or and only
charcoal remains. The liquid distillate

which II wood alcohol. In the production
OF methyl alcohol from sawdust the proc
ess at certain stages IS very similar to
that used with grain, molasses. pota-
toes. ETC., and the product Is exactly
the same. Tho sawdust 10 cooked with
dilute acid to produce sugars from the
wood substance. These sugars are
leached out and the liquor 10 fermented
and distilled. producing grain or msthyl
alcohol.
