that the attorney generals opinion
on labelling whiskey showed DIS
crepancy with the report of the com

the report to which reference had
been made was formulated by the
physiological section, in whose dellp-
erations he took no part as he was
a member of the section which had
under consideration the legal cues
tions involved. He stated that he mad
not only taken no part in the formu-

had not even read it, and IN any
event his personal opinion as to the
hygienic properties of different KINDS
Of whiskey was not relevant since III

Of President Roosevelt since the adop-

Of comfort, but there have been none
