Show German Alcohol Stills. An authority on alcohol stills says that there are 20,000 farm stills in operation on as many farms in Germany. Ger-many. The German government per- mits the farmer to produce a certain amount of grain or potato alcohol, the amount depending upon the size and location of the farm and the annual demand for the product, upon the payment pay-ment of a reduced revenue tax. Alcohol Alco-hol distilled in excess of the quantity allowed is subject to the higher rate of taxation. Denatured alcohol, however, how-ever, is not subject to any tax. Of course it was an old bachelor who said that women ought to hold their tongues occasionally in order to give their thoughts a chance to catch up. |
