La Science Francaise, in an article on the "Industrialisation of Alcohol," says : " Ihere is, perhaps, a means of saving our race— it is the industrialisation of alcohol. The day when alcohol can replace petro leum in the heating and lighting industries and in the cheap production of energy, the day when we shall gain more by emptying it into our stoves and motors than into human throats, will bs a day when just so much material will be taken from the drunkards, and it is my belief that the i death of alcoholism will then be very near. From this point of view, which is not at all paradoxical, in my esti mation the example of Germany is encouraging. Like France, Germany pro duces alcohol in enormous quantities, for from her 12,500 rural distilleries came in 1897 no less than 60,000,000 gallons of alcohol made from apples alone ! But that which is the ruin of France has made the fortune of Germany. Why ? Because the Germans, instead of getting drunk ou their alcohol, have decided to make it work for them. Thus they have gained the acknow ledged control of the world's market of chemical products and dyestuffs, of which, thirty years since, France had a monopoly. Hero is something to remember and think about. But who could have foreseen that tho automobile, as a great consumer of hydro-carbons, may somo day have a role to play in the tight against alcoholism ?
