WOOD ALCOHOL
POPULAR DRINK

POCATELLO, Idaho, Nov. 26.--
Idaho revenue officers will put the
ban on all classes of liquids contain
ing alcohol in sufficient quantity to
make them intoxicating. they say.
Among the preparations to be re-
moved on January 16, the date the
National prohibition law becomes ef-
fective, are perfumes, BARRIERS sup
plies, flavoring extracts and liquid
medicinal compounds. These vari-
cites and others, the revenue officers
say, are used In all prohibition States
for beverage purposes. +;
Just how the department will over
come the iavoring extract problem
and keep 1t out of reach of those who
use It for beverage purposes and still
have 1t within reach of the housewife
for cooking purposes is a problem.
according to officials, that re-
mains to be worked out.
Wood alcohol, which, the officials
say, is a beverage common in Idaho.
has not been taken into considera7
ton, since they have stated the opins
ion that there is no law governing
the sale Of this liquid. Because 1t is
a highly poisonous product 1t is
thought the lawmakers did not rec
| ognize the possibility that 1t would
ever be used by tipplers as a bever-
age. It's sale is not regulated. as it
is regarded as a commercial article
and is sold without restriction by
druggists for mechanical use. .
A altering process is used by the
trafickers in wood alcohol, according
to ven officers, and much of the
poisonous element is removed by the
process. 1t is purchased for $3.50
per gallon, 1t is said, and u~ndergoes
a certain percentage of dilution be-
fore it is ready for the consumer. II
is then sold at prices varying from 81
to 50 q quart. e IL
