The Republican prosecutor has made no
defense to this charge.
This is only one of many instances
where The taxpayers money has been ap-
propriated In direct conflict with the

Q. How may ethyl or grain alcohol
be distinguished from wood alcohol?
NJ. r. C.
A. There is a simple test known as the
iodoform test which may be performed
by any chemist in q few minutes It
consists Of putting some iodine in the
alcohol and heating the mixture. If the
alcohol is wood alcohol the solution will
be stable, but If it is ethyl or grain alco-
hol white precipitate will form. This
does not show whether the alcohol Is
pure.
