TlllC NOltimK NKWS : 1'MUDAY ' , OtTOM ItMl. . ! ( ) [ GOVERNMENT EXPLAINS HOW PRODUCT MUST BE MADE. IS UNFIT FOR CONSUMPTION Rules Require the Use of Methyl Alco hol and Benzine to Make the Stuff Unfit for Drinking What It Can be Made From. Tax free denatured alcohol and the rulea and conditions governing its manufacture , under the law , passed last winter , have been the subject of a great many Inquiries of John W. Yerkes , commissioner of Internal rev enue at Washington , and copies of replies to the Inquiries have boon printed In the treasury decisions and went to the olllclals lu all parts of the country that may Inform these Inter ested without their writing the depart- ment at Washington. A copy of rulea iaa been received in Norfolk. The replies of Commissioner Yurkcs regarding the sources from which reg ular alcohol has been made in the United States , ho states that grain , fruit and molasses have played the most prominent part , about four-elev enths of a bushel of grain , four and one-half bushels of fruit and a llttlo more than two gallons of molasses being necessary in eacli case to pro duce a gallon of alcohol 188 proof. The grain used consists of about 85 per cent , corn and 15 per cent , malt nnd rye. Only for Commercial Use. The fact that the tax on alcohol de natured for commercial use has been removed does not necessarily mean that it may bo manufactured indis criminately , for the same apparatus used for its manufacture might also be used for the manufacture of whisky and other distilled liquors In general , It is for this reason that preparations for the manufacture of denatured al cohol has been delayed that the regu lations might bo issued. The states with the largo harvests of cereals are Ideal places for manu facturing establishments of this sort and many inquiries have been received by the Internal revenue oilices regard ing the rules to be put in force and asking about the terms under which the plants might bo set up. The reg ulations as given below will govern the industry after the denaturing law goes into effect January 1 , and will nnswer the Inquiries according to the rules that have been made by the In ternal revenue department.
