The seeds are used by druggists and rectifiers of spirits, and form many of the cordial drinks. The quantity of seed and produce are similar to those of Caraway. ERVUM Lens. LENTILS. Once cultivated here for the seeds, which are used for soups; but it is furnished principally from Spain, and can at all times be purchased for less than it can be grown for. HORDEUM distichon.

How better could they dispose of their stuff than by dumping it on to rectifiers?" "You distinguish between distillers and rectifiers?" "Certainly; there's less check on rectifiers.

In the new order of things these difficulties have all but vanished and while a wireless telephone transmitter still requires a high voltage direct current to operate it this is easily obtained from 110 volt source of alternating current by means of vacuum tube rectifiers.

The pipe is the best scheme from the operator's point of view, and one may remain undiscovered for months, but the difficulty usually is to lay it in the first instance. "A third method can be used only in the case of rectifiers and it illustrates one of the differences between rectifiers and distillers.

The check required by the Excise authorities is therefore different in each case. With rectifiers it is only necessary to measure the stuff that goes into and comes out of the works. Making due allowance for variation during treatment, these two figures will balance if all is right." Willis nodded, and Hunt resumed.

Every permit for the removal of liquor from a distillery must be issued by the excise surveyor of the district, whereas rectifiers can issue their own certificates. Therefore in the case of rectifiers there is the possibility of the issuing of forged or fraudulent certificates. Of course this is not so easy as it sounds.

The next morning, therefore, the two detectives again engaged a taxi and ran out along the Ferriby road until they met a large blue lorry loaded with barrels and bearing on its side the legend "Ackroyd & Holt Ltd, Licensed Rectifiers." When it had lumbered past on its way to the city, Hunt called to the driver and ordered him to follow it.

The reverend Hugh C. Love walked from the old chapterhouse of saint Mary's abbey past James and Charles Kennedy's, rectifiers, attended by Geraldines tall and personable, towards the Tholsel beyond the ford of hurdles. Ben Dollard with a heavy list towards the shopfronts led them forward, his joyful fingers in the air. Come along with me to the subsheriff's office, he said.

Am I not right in saying that while the regulations for the measurement of spirit actually produced from the stills are so thorough as to make fraud almost impossible, rectifiers, because they don't themselves produce spirit, but merely refine what other firms have produced, are not so strictly looked after? Rectifiers would surely find smuggled stuff easier to dispose of than distillers."

Hunt nodded and drew slowly at his pipe. "The principle of the thing," he answered, "is simple enough, though in detail it becomes a bit complicated. The first thing we have to remember is that in this case we're dealing, not with distillers, but with rectifiers.
