tificial liquor sweetened with sugar,
t,lored with caramel and favored to
resemble apricot brandy.
q will not here enter into an ex-
planation Of the methods of analysis
used. as such explanations must as Il
necessity be highly technical, and
would probably be of little value to
you. I will, however, take pleasure in
answering any special question you
may ask, to the best of my ability.
"The work has been carefully done
and is correct, and 1 am perpared to
stand by the conclusions drawn from
the results" .#="
Mr.. Lyon explained that he had sent
to Dr. McCandless a number of bot
ties bought from the South Carolina
dispensary and these were numbered
by a third party. There were also
bottles of identical appearance bought
in bar-rooms in Atlanta. There were
lettered a, B. {. etc. DR.. McCand-
less did not know which was which.
There were only four exhibits from
the bar-rooms in Georgia.
Georgia Gets Better Liquor.
AS to the relative "proof" or per-
centage Of alcohol DIR. McCandless ;
invcstio ations showed:
Disp. Bar
Congress Hall :. :. $3.50 0S.O4
Lewis 'G6 :. go. >. 92.10 93.40
Three Feathers E. :. 95.40 96.40
Mt. Vernon :. :. :. ..90.14 10000
The ''proof" shows the relative
commercial value. Therefore the
Georgia whiskey is a better whiskey
than the dispensary whiskey by from
2 to 10 per cent. Last winter Mr.
Lyon showed where retail dealers in
Georgia had received lower prices on
better whiskey than the State of
South Carolina had paid for whiskey
in large orders.
Another comparison which DR.. Me
Candless' letter shows is that "therc
Is nothing in common between' the
Congress Hall" sold in this state
and the "Congress Hall' sold in
Georgia; that there was enough ami
line in one bottle Of gin cocktail to
dye piece Of cloth. and aniline dye is
poisonous as it is an indigo product
generally; and that the cold Joe"
whiskey sold by Bluthenthal & Bick-
crt is regarded by DR.. McCandlesS
''as being wholly artifcial.'
The conclusion was derived, there
fore that DR.. Burney has perhaps
noted an improvement in dispensary
whiskey since the days of the pur-
chascs from the Mill Creek listillery.

| sample ana snip instead an artificial
case goods" asked Mr.. Lyon. Wit
ness admitted this.
He found one pint sample which
had i'll it enough poison to kill 40
people with the whiskey in one bottle
That was contraband whiskey, he af-
terward said.
Mr.. CASTOR asked if DR.. Burney
could tell the difference, in chemical
analysis, between corn and rye whis-
key. Witness explained that the diff
.'erence is in the fusel oil and in no
other ingredients and can be detected
in the taste and odor.
He is satisfied that so far as his
tests go, he has not passed any arti-
fetal whiskeys. The chances are that
the tests would expose the fraud in
manufactured whiskey.
Witness said in reply to Col.
Spivey. that it is not a part Of his
duties to assist the board in determin-
ing the grade.
Believes in the Dispcnsary.
When the members of the commit
! tee had asked all the questions they
wanted, Mr.. w. Boyd Evans began to
ply a few to DR.. Burncy. In response
to Mr. Evans he said that he believes
South Carolina gets better whiskey
than any other state. He stated that
in all distillerics there are United
States gaugers and if there should
be any effort to concoct whiskey they
would find it out. Mr. Evans wanted
to know if the State dispensary
should be done away with if the
county dispensarics would have the
same protection from impure whiskcy.
Mr.. Spivcy arose to point Of OF
der. Unless Mr.. Evans represents a
client who has been injured it is bad
precedent to let an outsider ask qucs-
tons intcrminably.
Mr.. Evans declared that it was sole
ly from patriotic motives that he was
asking these questions.
Mr.. Christensen objected to the po-
litical flavor being given the questions
and Mr.. Lyon in jesting manner
proposed that DR.. Burney be asked to
return after dinner and answer qucs-
tons from all who cared to come. Mr..
Spivey thought the committee could
very well represent the people Of
South Carolina without Mr.. Evans
assistance.
Mr.. Lyon then had DR.. Burney to
repeat his declaration that South Car
Dina has the best whiskey in America.
I DR.. Burney came off the stand.
Proof Of the Pudding.
! Thcrcupon Mr.. Lyon put in cvi-
dcncc a statement from DR.. McCand-
less, state chemist Of Georgia, show
ing that there arc chemical impurities
in some of tic stuff sold III the dis
pcnSary and that a lot Of the whiskcy
is manufactured liquor.

an underground passageway, through
which members of Congress may pass
back and forth from the legislative
hall to their Offices. There are 4l0
Office rooms. providing room for each
Representative in Congress and Dele

rooms for future growth in the mem
bership of the House through a reap

and the Senate office building, also
under construction at the opposite end
of the plaza, are being put up to pro-
vide for the members of the National
Legislature. quarters absolutely needed
for the efficient transaction of public
business. The great growth in size
of both branches of Congress has
caused the Capitol building to be en-
larged but this was only sufficient to
provide the necessary space for the
assembly halls of House and Senate
and the committee rooms. the latter
in many cases being small and badly

Work Progressing Rapidly.

Although the digging of the trenches
for the House Office building was be-
gun less than a year ago, the structure
is now up to the first floor line. To
hasten the work Elliott Woods, super
intendent of the Capitol, directed that
construction begin before all the speci-
fications and contracts were complete
This was done through letting out the
stone contract first by authority of the
House Building Commission. 1t is cal
culated that both buildings will be
ready for the Sixtieth Congress-
In accordance with Masonic tradt-
tions, the ceremony was conducted in
the open air, in a simple, unostenta-
tious manner. In every detail 1t CORE
sponded as nearly as practicable with
the historic ceremony in which Presf-
dent Washington participated. The
articles placed in the cornerstone were
largely identical in character with
those deposited in the original Capf-
tol stone by Federal Lodge and, as
both President Roosevelt and Speaker
Cannon are members of the Masonic=
order, the occasion in every way har
monized with the spirit of the cere
mony directed by the Virginia jurisdic
ton in laying the cornerstone of the
Capitol.

THE SURGERY OF THE An
CLIENTS.

What is known to modern dentists
as bridge work was familiar to the
Etruscans, as eXtant specimens attest,
according to an interesting article in
he British Medical Journal Plaster
ears, noses and lips were common
among the Indians. where the cutting
off of these features was a punishment
much in use, and Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in war tried to make good the de-
dciency by artificial substitutes. 1t is
stated further:
What is said to be the oldest artifi-
cial leg in existence is now in the mu-
seum of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England. 1t was found in a tomb
at Capua. Pliny speaks of a Roman
warrior who. a century and half be-
tore the birth of Christ, wore an arti-

Ages artificial limbs sometimes re-
haired the disablements of war. The

A century later an artificial hand was
