DEATH Turks In
BOOTLEG HOOCH
Continued from Page IL

alcohol from druggists, all Of this be-
ing for external use. This contained
either bichloride of mercury, formalde-
hyde or carbolic acid. 1t was sup
posed that the addition of the white
of an egg would mitigate the evil eff
fects. but the persons who drank it
were taking an awful chance. l have
found mercury in some of the liquor
analyzed.
Bootlegger's Schemes
! Another scheme was to buy sweet
spirits of inter and pour hot water
into it. This would vaporize the ethyl
nitrate, but it was impossible to get
/ it all. Such a drink had very serious
effects upon ones heart.
Most of the bootleg whiskey now
on the market is a green distillation
from cornmeal. dried prunes and sug-
ar. Some manufacturers add creosote
to give it pungency and body. No bo-
gus whiskey has the real whiskey
taste or flavor and being green it is
likely to prove toxic.
Considerable quantities of synthet-
ic gin are being sold. This is manufac-
tured from alcohol, water and the oils
of juniper, anise and coreander If the
alcohol entering into this is not highly
rectified-and most of it is not-the
product is sure to be vicious.
Home Brew Dangerous
Il wonder there have not been many
deaths from drinking home brewed
beer. The fermentation of the grain
is as likely to produce poisons as not.
If the grain spoils, as it often does,
this will be the outcome.
"On large scale alcohol can be
made for 80 cents a gallon. l imagine
it costs the bootleggers from 81 to 50
to manufacture theirs. They sell it for
$40 a gallon.
There are on the market dozens
of flavorings for synthetic WhlskeE,
the sale of which is legal. Nothing
has been discovered, however, that
gives the whisky flavor, other than
aging in wood.
Il doubt If there is much wood al
cohol being sold for beverage pur-
poses, as it is SO simple to make the
other kind. However, wood alcohol
may be rectified to a point where prac-
tically all the bitterness disappears,
but never the poisonous effect.
Most of the claret on the market
contains tannic acid and a strong as
tringent.
Il am constantly being asked by
persons to pass upon formulas for
making liquor. | know Of no way of
producing anything Fl, to drink other
than bv the ?ld-time method in which
age was principal factor.
The manufacture Of bootleg whisky
has become an established Business,
with stills, statesmen and delivery de-
partmeHts.

tom WALLACE TALKS
FOR BETTER ROADS
tBy Associated Press)

Pineville, KY, Apr. ia plea
for good roads throughout Ken
lucky and conservation Of game
and timber was made by Tom
Wallace, associate editr-. of the
Louisville Courier Journal in an
address here today before the
Kiwan,s Club of Pineville. Mir.
Wallace pleaded for doing away
with sectional lines in Kentucky
and praised the work OF State
Senator White l.. Moss, of P;tic
vile, Tor good roads, and Of the
Game and Fish Commission of
which Nay B. Ross, of Pineville,
is chairman.
Recalling how the old division
al lines once divided Kentucky
into the Bluegrass. the Bear
grass. the Pennyrile and the
Purchase, with what he said W.
no regard. for the Mountains,
and how now the sectional line;
are designated as Eastern, Ger
trail and Western Kentucky, Mr..
Wallace declared what is need
ed in our richly lowered, but
little developed state, is state
mindedness, supplanting party
mindednes, narroW-mindedness,
and shallow mindedness. We can
not get, for example, the foun-
dational factor in state improve
ments,, a statewide system of
-44ards roads, till more OF lis have
a statewide angle of vision
Referring to the recent fight
for re- fifty, million dollar road
bond issue in the Kentucky Cen
eral Assembly for the purpose OF
building good roads, Mr.. Wal
lace said that he did not intend
to make a political speech and
that lie would go no further than
"to express the hope that time
will prove roads the irrepressible
issue in Kentucky and that be
! fore too much time has been
lost. issues of politics will be
made subordinate to the issue q
roads. Ir that event kentucky
! will be Oh the road to welfare
We can keep the water ont Of
the roads if we can get the pol
tics out OF tLem.'

The Who'll. Country /. interested

1t primarily, but not only for the benefit
of the farmer that the agricultural conference now
being held in washington was called Perhaps il
the condition OF the farmer alone were to be con-
sidered, the country would not be agitated in his
behalf. He has gone through lean years before
farmer though has plugged along. taking the little
good with the bad until he is considering a
revolt The consideration of it is forced upon him.
He is the victim of over-production and conse-
quently low prices, with railroad rates making the
depression complete The farmer of the middle west
engaged IN the growing OF wheat. corn, oats and
barley about all he raise, finds that he make
money will lose little less by not raising
than he needs for his own use.
And here is where the interest of the country
comes in. II a sufficient number Of farmers should
feel that way about It, the country might well trem-
BILE or the future of its food supply.
The farmer could live pretty well after a fashion
II he raised but little food beyond what he needs for
himself and family. His forbears did that and got
the name Of being independent. They did without
luxuries but had abundance Of the necessities
II considerable number OF the farmers should re-
vert for year to the practice OF the period
when there were few markets and little money this
country would be in a bad way. and the farmer
would suffer less than anybody else. The farmer
is still the independent farmer.

Privacy and NeighborIiness
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

Myron T. Herrick, the American Ambassador to
France made speech the other day at dinner given
in Paris to the Marquis de Peraa, Minister OF Costa
Rica to France in honor Of the latter gentemanS fifty
years of diplomatic service in France In his speech
Mr.. Herrick said:
National privacy like family privacy, in no sense
excludes or need even diminish public service We may
still hold fast to the old English doctrine that house
is castle and nvolate but that does not diminish
our desire to offer wide hospitality to friends
join feow-ctizens in public places for the public
good. Isolation, eXcuslveness whatever you may call
it, is thus term whose significance lies wholly in the
method of its application.
"In their family affairs the people of the United
States like to be let alone much possbe but there
is goody undertaking set foot by their neighbors
in which they do not ask to take their share Monsieur
de Perala instinctively felt this"
With his usual sound sense Mr.. Herrick indicates
here the eventual issue and settlement when it coos of
the hot question which is boiling throughout the
United States That question is whether we Shall with
the irreconcilabes carry to its rigid conclusion the
policy of America for Americans and have nothing to
do with other nations except to go out and fight with
them in WHILE and to load the country with taxes
between times getting ready to fight the other
hand whether shall adopt plan Of getting along
with neighbors that would be cheaper and to
our mutual advantage.
And the way out in this question as in most ques-
tions is not to be triumph of idea another,
but compromise between the two That is to say, we
shall not abandon nationality and merge into SUI
perstate, nor shall maintain utter isolation be-
tween two oceans bristlng with battle fields.
We shall do neither because we shall do little of
BOTH
We are going to keep on being the United States
of America and nothing else We going to mind
own business and not meddIe with the affairs of
other people try to regulate them. At the same
time are going to unite with them enough so that
we get along with them with minimum of friction.
And the way to do this is quite simple. 1t is
ly to extend the principle of Federation.
The central idea of Federation is that each state
is independent and superior in its own concerns and
yet is allied to all the other states to the
necessity of being ready to fight them.
To be good citizen does not imply that one should
not maintain his proud position member of the
Jones family
In fact, the eventual World Government is not to
be gluey mass of one kind of people, but rather an
ordered edfice made up of distinct and Independent
parts.
To this unity the awkward and quarrelsome world
is slowly numbering.

FIRST NEWSPAPER HuMoRIsr

1t is interesting to trace American newspaper
humor back to three familiar humorists who
longer living
The first was George Horatio Derby, army
officer born Of good Massachusetts, family in 1928,
who spent much OF his time in the west particularly
in California Here under the title of John Phoenix
he took to writing whimsical letters for the news
papers, two volumes OF which had been collected
and published before his death in 1861.
In their day "Phoenixana" and the "Squibob
Papers" which grotesquely satirizes life in Cafor-
MIA during the early days of American control there
were popular all over the country. Today one feels
their extravaganza more than their fun. John Phoe
nix, however, was undoubtedly, told, among
the earliest humorsts Of school which has tended
to produce better and better work.
The successor in the field was Charles Farrar
Browne-Artemus Ward At first a printer, then
newspaper man, Charles Farar Browne in 1858
drifted to Ohio, where he bacem reporter on the
Cleveland Plain Dealer writing over the signature
of Artemus Ward humorous articles which carried
his pseudonym all the country.
Another characteristic newspaper humorist and
satirist OF considerable power David Ross
Locke, born in a country village of New York in
1888. Like Artemus Ward he was a printer later
reporter and later still, editor of a local newspaper
in Ohio
At the beginning Of the Civil war, Locke began
to write political satires the signature of Petro-
leum " Nasty. Nasbys work had in it's day, we
told political Importance really helped to
soldify and strengthen union sentiment. His work
a humorist however belongs to the Civil war
and to the disturbed ensuing administration Of Pres
ident Johnson against whom OF his most pitt
less satire was directed.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
