Harmony is the Perfection Of relation

a NATIONWIDE CALAMITY.

That Americans are protiIgate IN their use
Of natural resources is once more proved by the
recently issued statement OF the committee for
the application OF forestry of which Clifford Pin
ellot is chairman In brief, the figures present
ed SHOW that the consumption OF forest products
is two and one-haif times the growth and that
I'VE have less than half as many trees now
standing as would be required to produce timber
ut the rate we are using it, and that there are
10 forests in the world from which we can i'm
port lumber enough Of suitable kinds at reason
able prices to meet our needs.
The timber-producing states no longer can
supply their own demands; within ten years the
hulk of the country's lumber'will come from
the Pacific coast and eastern buyers will pay
the freight on hauls of two or three thousand
miles III addition to the high prices OF the pro
duct at the point of shipment. This review Of
the situation is discouraging enough, but as
remedy IS pointed out there IS no occasion Tor
taking it for granted that in a short time the
country must get along without wood.
There IS no reason to dispute the statement
Of the committee that If cut-over lands, vaIu-
able mainly for forest growth, but cow barren
and idle in the east, the lake states and the
south had been wisely handled, they would be
growing, each year, much timber az they
produced IN the year Of their greatest yield, and
that timber would be available at half the pres
ent prices The problem is in the profitable
use Of the idle land devastated by the lumber
men who were too ignorant or careless to cut
only the mature trees and let the small ones
grow; it was so muh easier to destroy every
fling on the wooded area. Relief cannot be af-
fercled by timber produced on public lands. for,
las the rel sort says:
National and can furnish at heat
but a fifth OF supplies. Four-fflhs OF our re-
naming timber IS privately owned, and private
commercial timber lands furnish ninetyseyen Der

VOLSTEAD OPPOSES VETS
WINE AND BEER PROGRAM
Judiciary Committee Chairman De-
clares Enforcement Must Cover
Liquor and Substitutes

Congressman Nolstead, chairman of
the House Judiciary Committee and
author OF the national dry enforce
ment law, assures his dry friends in
that he is quite we'll sat
ished with the operation of the law
and contends that it is not drastic.
Mr.. Volstead is opposed to permitting
the manufacture or sale of light wines
or beer. On this point he is quoted:
Each state that has had to en-
force a Prohibition law has found
it essential to prohibit not only
liquor that is recognized as intox-
icating, but all forms of such
beverage that can be used as
subterfuge for stronger drinks,
unless the alcoholic content is so
low that it can be readily distin-
guished from the ordinary intox-
icating liquor.
Congressman Volstead denies that
there is any indication that a reaction
against Prohibition has set in.

Glycerine Substitute for Alcohol
Flavoring Extracts

Glycerine Substitute for Alcohol in
Flavoring Extracts
Flavors can be extracted from the
vanilla bean and other substances
without the aid OF aleohols as a
solvent. This announcement was
made by Melvin De Groote of the
Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-
search, University of Pittsburg, be-
fore the Division of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry of the American
Chemical Society in session recently
at the University of Chicago
Due to the enactment of the
Eighteenth Amendment" said DR.. De
Groote, another problem has pre-
scented itself in connection with van
lila favors. Alcohol is still obtain
able for the preparation of flavoring
extracts--but is by no means assured
for the future. Furthermore, there is
considerable sentiment against the
use of alcohol in any foodstuff, and
finally alcohol is expensive and adds
nothing of value to the havoring ex-
tract. Chemists have been asked to
find a substitute for alcohol-espc-
cially in the various vanilla favors.
Reference was previously made to the
delicacy of vanilla bean extract. The
extract maker is careful in the prep
aration of vanilla extract so that it is
not heated above 120 degrees Fahren-
heit, in order that the delicate aroma
will not be injured. Naturally when
this extract is employed in a cake
batter and subjected to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, the delicacy and strength
is affected. However, vanilin and
coumarin mixtures seem to withstand
the higher temperatures-and similar
ly the cold temperatures of an ice
cream freezer. Thus they are i'm
portant to the baker, the ice cream

maker, and the confectionery maker"
Mr.. De Groote developed the fact
that vanillin and coumarin, the active
principles OF the vanilla and the tonka
beans respectively, could be extracted
in glycerine solutions, so that ex-
tracts of flavors could be prepared not
only equal to federal requirements in
strength, but even stronger-and
without the use of grain alcohol in
any manner.
Such extracts" he said, will with
stand freezing weather and arc low in
cost. They can be prepared with the
same equipment as is employed in the
manufacture of alcoholic extracts,
and are entirely acceptable from a
hygienic standpoint. Glycerine ex-
tracts have been tried on large scale
and tests have proved them to be en-
tirely satisfactory.
This illustrates clearly, that as
problems develop in regard to the use
of food products, they Immediately
have the attention of the proper au-
thorities. Eventually the solution is
made public, not only as matter of
education, but also as matter of pro-
lection to the consumer. In fact, it
may be said that this instance is typ
ical of hundreds of other similar
cases, with which the general public
may not be acquainted, but which is
the result of scientific investigative
efforts on the part of American chem
lists to solve our national problems,
and thus promote the public welfare"
