HOMEMADE BOOZE
{ SURE IS DAMGEROUs

A reader OF the Silver State has
asked that the following article he
published, not as an endorsement ~
nome-Drewing or the violation of any
law, u as showing the dangers
thereof. This newspaper regrets that
II cannot give proper credit:
Homemade distilling In the next
three years will, at the present rate

men and women. take the toll of

Ing. The best policy IL not to drink
any "moonshine" which you did not
make yourself. because you cannot
tell from what 1t Ii made. Fusil oil
is commonly used. and is as deadly a
poison as wood alcohol.
The warning explains the deadly
fusil oil and its danger in home
whisky-making. Remember how in
the "old days" the bartender, when
he opened up a fresh bottle of whis-
ky. would pour OF the top? That was
the fusil oil.

chemists. the oil is bound to be

together with putrefaction, in wild
fermentation, threatens deathto every

drink Of homemade liquor"
This is not the only danger, how
ever. Home distillers think because
they distill in copper their product
will be pure.
Copper in itself-the stills and
coils-is not poisonous" scientific
men say. But ignorance of their
use often leads to production Of poi
son. All the salts of copper, science
knows, are poisonous. Blue vitriol
and virdigris are the most common.
A half-ounce OF the former will pro-
duce death in an adult. 'Moonshine'
drinkers are often heard complaining
of the rapidly increasing intense head
ache suffered after a jag. This is
copper poisoning.
Another complaint OF the moon
shine drinker is evere pains In the
bones. Blue vitriol, II 1t does not

Investigation by local Psychologists
reveals that a great majority of house

This Is the most dangerous practice
of all. The spirit contained in the
potato has more mayl. or fusil oil.

whisky can be made.

HARDWARE BURNED

The Willow River Hardware
Company building and barber
shop at Willow River was burned
to the ground Thursday night Of
last week. Both businesses were
conducted in one building. the
barber shop being q small addi-
tion to the main building.
The entire building was owned
by Hamm's Fidelity Co, Duluth.
while the Hardware stock. etc.
was owned by r. II. Price and
A.'E. Hintz. and the supplies and
fixtures Of the barber shop was
owned by VIM. Weekly.
The fire was first discovered BY
Harry Woods, who lives near tho
hardware building. and II was
Just II o'clock. midnight. when
he sounded the village flre bell.
Assistance came rapidly. hut u
was soon seen that nothing could
possibly be done to Save the
burning building so all effort was
bent on saving the surrounding
ones. The chemical engine was
used to extinguish small fires
that caught in nearby buildings.
A six man water pump. part OF
THE fire fighting apparatus was
soon manned but somehow was
out Of working order and hence
useless. A bucket brigade was
however enough TO save the en-
dangercd buildings.
The fire spread very rapidly IL
appears. as a passerby had not
noticed any Are at II r. M. but.
by A. M. the entire building
was in ruins. When the first fre
fighters arrived on the scene it
appeared that the fire was in the
roof Of the barber shop. but in
a few minutes it was over the
ientire building.
One barber chair and electric
clipper was saved from the BAR
ber shop while the hardware
stock burned completely.
The hardware store also car
ricd a line Of groceries and in all
had about a $1,000 stock on hand.
This they had covered by one
$1,000 and one $1,000 insurance
, Ipolicies. This was Of course not
enough. but to make things worse
, the $1,000 policy had expired
. just two days before the fire
and had not been renewed. Con-
siderable cash and checks were
in the cash drawer which Of
course went up in smoke. So all
lin all the hardware company pro-
. Iprietors have a heavy loss. They
are undecided as to whether or
not they will start up again.
The barber business was contin-
ucd the next morning in the no.
tel building by Mr.. Miller, the
local barber. Mr.. Weekly owner
Of the barber shop was visiting
