COMPROMISE ON THE COVENANT
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune,
Supporters of the covenant as it
stands say Senator Lodge is obstinate.
He is regarded as the rock Of obduracy
upon which the negotiations in the
Senate eplt. In truth, Lodge is the
compromised He does not want the
league OF nations. but he will accept it
with reservations which protect the
United States. He will not accept it
without these reservations. but he will
with them, and in this he leads a fol
lowing Of Republican Senators.
Ohstinscy may be found in other Re-
publicaus who do not want the league
at an, and Hitchcock and other Demo
Gratis who 90 not dare accept anything
except the hat wording Of the pact as
it came from Paris Hitchcock is I'M
able % corceda because Of the Wilson
power over him.
when compromise is urged and Lulg
is damned there is an inconsistency
which makes itself ludicrous. Presi-
dent Wilson will compromise if he has
absolutely his own way. The only place
10 ehch be demands absolutely his own
way the United States.
He compromised in Paris.

Last weeks Tribune, in an article on
"Britishers Rap Our President. was
quoted what Lord" Charwood said.
As wa do not believe in prefxing the
word Lord" to the name of any man
on earth, regarding it not only as auto

more or less sacrilegious, we beg the
pardon Of all our readers of true Ameri-

MEET ETHYL And
METHYL ALCOHOL
Two Most Prominent and Inter-
esting Members of the
Family.
MANY OFFSPRlNGS ARE KNOWN
Difference Between Grain and Wood
Alcohol Clearly Described-Fatal-
tiles Due to Amateur Attempts
to Make Grain Alcohol.

Chicago.-While there are seyenteeu
or more alcoholic products known 10
chemistry, there are two of general
commercial use in the cOuntry-ethyi
alcohol, or ordinary alcohol the kind
we used to be able to buy for medici-
nal purposes" and methylated spirit,
or industrial alcohol, which is popular
ly called wood alcohol" and which
does contain an amount Of that fluid.
Ethyl or ordinary alcohol is formed
by the spirituous or alcoholic fermen-
tation of saccharine juices. The fer
mentation must be completed before IL
Is distilled II is made from grain,
either corn, wheat, or barley. This is
also known as grain alcohol The
formula is c. H. Oh.
Methylated spirit or industrial alco-
hol, is made of ninety parts of ordi-
nary alcohol and ten parts of wood
alcohol-methyl alcohol.
Source Of Wood Alcohol.
Wood alcohol is obtained by the dry
distillation of wood. The common
method of obtaining this is to take
cordwood which has been seasoned for
about two years-beech, maple, and
birch are best-place it In iron or steel
retorts over a slow fire. The intensity
Of the fire is gradually increased as the
distillation progresses, until at the end
of from twelve to eighteen hours moth
Ing remains in the retort but charcoal.
The distillate is passed through a
condenser and the liquid thus gath
cred is allowed to set In tanks untfl
the greater part of the tarry matter
in it has subsidized. The lighter part is
then drawn off and saturated with
slaked lime TO fix the acetic acid. II
is then distilled second time and the
dstillate sent TO the refineries as wood
alcohol Sawdust or any woody fih@
or cellulose can be used in place OF
eordwood.
Wood alcohol, either in its pure form
or as an ingredient of Industrial alec
hol. is a poison, and has seIective
action upon the optic nerve, in which
it often induces a condition of perma-
nent atrophy which results In total
blindness.
Denatured Alcohol.
For some purposes completely de-
natured alcohol" is made by adding to-
industrial alcohol a little benzine or
pyridine to spoil the taste and render
1t offensive. Denatured alcohol may
be made more cheaply than ordinary
alcohol by using cheaper materials,
such as any starchy vegetable sub
stance, or a waste byproduCt, as the
poorest grade of molasses or the waste
of a canning factory.
ut is probable that a good deal OF
the wood alcohol that Is being distrib
uted as beverage is the result of the
attempts of amateurs to make ordinary
alcohol. In their ignorance they use
vegetable substances such as potato
Feelings, and, by using too intense a
fire and making the distillatlon with
ont having first allowed fermentation
to take place, produce methyl or wood
alcohol instead" said J. Ii. Nusbaum
a chemist
