in the wood"

Aged in the wOod'' is a familiar expression, but few people really know how important a part barrels play in the maturing of whiskey. Some time ago we wrote a little piece entitled BARRELS" but we could only scratch the surface of this subject in an article of 800 or 400 words. So this is-more of the same.
 As you know, whiskey is colorless when it comes from the still. At this stage it is drawn into charred oak barrels. Then the casks are placed in bonded warehouses. (All whiskey is so stored. In the ware house the whiskey usually remains for four or more years, under con- trolled conditions of temperature, humidity and ventilation. The min ute the whiskey gets into the bar rels things begin to happen-sloWly of course. Color gradually begins to appear, and the color of whiskey is derived exclusively from the charred oak slaves. At first the liquid appears yellowish, then it bG1hG5 OA GD dIllDCI SlldIGs dA1u later, when it is properly matured, 1t has a deep reddish-brown color.
 While whiskey is in the wood" it also undergoes definite and in- tended changes in aroma and taste characteristics because of continu- ous reactions occurring in the bar rel. For instance, the liquid takes certain extractives from the wood; then there is oxidation of the or ganic substances in the whiskey and of the materials extracted from the wood. Some new products are formed in the whiskey as a result of a reaction among the various organic substances. AL O. these "constituents" in whiskey, pro- duced by nature, contribute to the weu-known havor-so easily rec ognizable by you as "whiskcy taste"
 And may we remind you again that nature does most of the work; man controls the natural processes -lnportdHtiy.
 Sometime soon, in another arti- cle, we will tell you more of these scientific controls exercised in our very modern distilleries. "Men in white" are constantly working ob- jectiUely to keep our Industry under the canopy of the slogan-AMERI- CANS MAKE THE BEST OF EVERY THINGl

 Although loosely orgeNized, through lack of both funds and central command, our military predecessors functioned contin- uously until 1851 when the trag- edy of Civil War struck the na- tion. Loca ed as it is, the city of St Louis could not be termed correctly either North or South. Strong sentiment for both sides existed. Al the outset of the war an attempt was made by the Southern inclined Governor to send the 1st Missouri Brigade into service with the Confederate Army This attempt was thwart- ed through the prompt action of Generals Lyons and Blair. The situation was further complicated after that abortive attempt, by ordering the brigade disbanded, whereupon the Southern sympa- thizers joined the forces of the Confederates Those who did so. of course, were exiled from their homes. Many of them gave their lives for their convictions, as did many men with Northern leanings.
 After the Civil War the records are scarce, and only occasionally are definite references made to regiment In 1869 reference is noted concerning a "Col. Sam uel A. Lowe, as commander of he First Regiment of Infantry. In 1874, because of lack Of funds, all units of that regiment were mustered out except Company A, which continued as a separate company.

 From the close of the War of 1912 until 1929, the chief field duties of these units were to com bat Indian depredations. Then the interest in military organiza- tions apparently waned until the beginning of the BlackhaWk War in 1892. After the war quietude prevailed until 1846. During that year the 1st Regiment, Mis- souri Volunteers, was organized for service in the War with Mex leo. This regiment was com- posed of units from various sec tions of Missouri. Company E of that regiment was organized at

 After the financial difficulties of 1887 had been alleviated, trou- bles of that nature ceased. The regiment continued to function. During the war with Spain, in re- sponse to President McKinley's call for volunteers, the regiment was mustered in to Federal Ser vice. This took place on May 13, 1898, and the unit was called the 1st Regiment, Missouri Vol unteers. On May 18th the regi- ment left Jefferson Barracks, Mo, and proceeded to Camp George H.

In St. Louis, soon after the United States took formal possession of the Territory of Louisiana in 1894, occasions arose when an organized force was necessary. In accordance with this necessity, various mili- tary units were organized from time to time as the local and na- tional situations required.
 As a rule, the tactical situation dictated the nature of the units organized In 1908, for example, requirements brought forth a company of infantry and troop of cavalry. During the War of 1872 some of these units were sent to the aid of Governor Ed wards, of Illinois, where the British and the Indians had as- sembled a large force. Other units participated in the Battle of Tippecanoe. A Battery of Ar tillery was sent to the north of St. Louis 10 guard against cross ing of the Missouri River by hos tile Indians. Another unit, a

The first Government prosecu-
ton on charge of prohibiting Ne

with Negro voting, 1t Is possible to
narrow the list of States where the

The charge probably will involve
