WOOD ALCOHOL IS BEST DENA7URANT
Sec. Mellon Discusses Methods
 Before Senate

Washington. Jan. II P,-Wood alcohol is the simplest denatur- ant for industrial alcohol meeting the requirements of the law. and veal q substitute. Secretary Mellon today informed the senate in re- sponse to it's request for information on the use of poisons as denaturants.
 Wood alcohol as denaturant," MT. Mellon reported, labels the ing to drink it as dangerous, and therefore constitutes the most ef- fective means of plishing the requirements of section 10 of title Ill of the national prohibition act that the denatured alcohol shall be unfit for use as an intoxicating bev- craze"
 The secretary also transmitted to the senate a letter from Health Commissioner Harris of New York city, reporting on the alcoholic deaths there, which said that only some of 750 deaths in that city during 1926 from alcoholism were possibly due to methanol (wood al cohoD or other substance employ ed 10 denature or medicate alcohol'
 Mir Harris added that New York city hospitals had 337 cases of al coholism under their care between December 24 and January 4, but 'only one was definitely attributed to wood alcohol poisoning" there were also seven deaths during the year from use Of straight wood al cohol, he said.
 "The simplest denaturant meeting these requirements" Mir. Mellon de- clared. lis wood alcohol as speci- fled in the original law. The dena- turing grade of wood alcohol has definite and disagrceable taste and odor. II carries with it it's charac- teristic taste and smell in the orig . inal mixture or in the treated prod

uct, and therefore serves as notice and warning that the product is not a beverage"
 The output of industrial alcohol in the United States last year was re-
 ported as 105 million gallons. The dye, artificial silk. paint and other | industries as evidenced by their communications to the treasury, Mr. i Mellon said,'s feel that to remove wood alcohol as denaturant in the present stat of scientific knowledge would destroy them and would 1 render impossible the duty imposed on the treasury requiring the com- missioner of internal revenue to pro- mote such industry"
 The health commissioner con- 1 plained that the information given 1 in death certificates was very meagre with respect to certain inn portant points" and said other ques- tions were involved in studying the fatalities which I am not pre- i pared to answer in a scientific, dis passionate spirit"
 1 Answering the senate's request for any correspondence exchanged with Wayne B. Wheeler relative to the denaturing of industrial alcohol, MT. Mellon replied there had been no correspondence with Wheeler or any other national officers of the anti saloon league on this subject. He enclosed a copy of a recent telegram 1 from Atticus Webb, Texas state superintendent of the anti-saloon { league. protesting against the re- moval of poison" from wood al- cohol.
 | The secretary explained that In l 1906 congress first provided that de- i natured alcohol be rendered unfi. | for beverage use, Fin the aid of in- i dustry," by a denaturant consisting of wood alcohol or other suitable 1 ingredient"
 The prohibition act further stip- ulated. he showed, that the de- maturing material be such "as to render the alcohol or any compound ir which it is authorized to be used unilt for use as an intoxicating beverage"
 Another provision of this act re- quired that the commission of in- ternal revenue issue regulations in
 respect to non-beverage alcohol so as to put industries using such al- cohol as a chemical raw material or
 for other lawful purposes upon the
 highest possible plane of scientific and commercial efficiency consistent with the interests of the government, and which shall insure an ample supply of such alcohol and promote its use in scientific research and the development of fuels, dyes and other i lawful products"

 MAKING SWISS CHEESE

From Lone Siding, on the Alaska Railroad, subscriber writes to ask for a recipe for making Swiss cheese.
 According to the latest Bulletin (No. 7-11-Swiss Cheese Psychology issued by the Swiss Cheese Bureau, Department of Meddling, the process is as follows:
 First get as many goats as you can, preferably those of rival politi- ticians. Feed your goats on a diet of chloride of lime sulphuretted hydro gen and asfoetida, alternating with wild thyme and skunk cabbage. Se- lect a rough country full of craggs. It is necessary that the goats leap from crag to crag to curdle the milk.
 Build a strong pit, with iron doors and strong locks, fill with decayed vegitation, preferably gourd vines. After the goats are be-chloride or lined, sulphuret of hydrogened and skunk cabbaged, milk into a bucket lined with shoemaker's cement. Place in pit, lock and bar the doors and wait until the pit begins to get up and walk about. Then send for the Board of Health, and a company of good wing shots.
 After all have signed waivers for what damage might result, have a good Texas two-handed gunman, able to protect himself, shoot the locks off the pit.
 As the cheeses fly out the soldiers open fire dropping the cheeses. This gives them the proper number of holes.
 Care should be taken to see that no wounded cheeses escape This often happens along the Swiss-Ger- man border where the cheeses take refuge in the dense cover and die. The Germans gather them and sell them for Limburger. A wounded Swiss cheese is very ferocious,' and 1 if not mortally wounded will grow up into Roquefort and have to be hunted from the back of elephants.
