Want Very Narrow
Restrictions Adopted.

AsHEVILLE, N. c., Sept. 6-The
American Pharmaceutical Association
yesterday decided to make an attempt to
secure very narrow restrictions as to the
free-alcohol clause in the new Tariff bill.
1t was agreed that with the reduced tax
there would be danger of promiscuous
selling of the intoxicating drug disguised
as bitters and the like. A resolution was
adopted, requesting the Secretary of the
treasury to limit the provision regarding
iree alcohol TO cases where the drug is
to he used in the manufacture of com
pounds In which 1t is so changed as to
lose absolutely its chemical and ph ysical
properties. including the classes OF com
pounds known as others, choral and
chloroform.
This would make the remission of the
tax of little benefit to the retail d q =
Sist. and there was vigorous objection to
the resolution before 1t was finally
adopted. The Association indorsed the
constitution of the Interstate Druggists
