RESULTS OF "TONlC TESTS
r1r. Dales of Washburn College, To-
peka, Kan, shows that "rlaIt Tom
ics,' except Anheuser-Busch's
MaIt-Nutrinea and Wyeth's,


are really Beer.
In a recent issue of the Topeka Journal
Mr.. Dales proves that Malt Tonics sold
in that city. with but two exceptions,
contain more alcohol than does the aver
age beer, according to Investigations
made by him. He had been making O
series OF tests in the college laboratory
| over period OF nearly a year and has
submitted his findings as a thesis for
graduation.
Kansas being prohibition State, his
paper has created a sensation, as many
OF the prohibitionists were not aware
OF the large percentage of alchohol in
many OF the malt extracts they were
using as tonic.
Any drink containing over two per
cent. of alchOhol is under the ban of pro-
hibitory law, as it is interpreted in Kan
sas. Mr.. Dales tried eleven different ton
les in preparing his analysis Two of
these ,Anheuser- Busch's Malt Murine and
Wyeth's, were real malt tonics, rich in
| nutrient properties and showing less
taan two per cent. of alcohol The re-
| naming nine "tonics' actually contain
| ed more alcohol than the average beer
| and were deficient in malt extract.
| ELEVEN malts, all that were on sale in
| Topeka at that time said Dales, "were
| purchased and determinations were
made on them for aichohol and extract
i've material. The results of the ANALYSIS

Taking them up more in detail. An

best and Wyeth's second The others,
however, are quite popular, probably
because of their low price and high per-

In explanation of the high percentage
OF alcohol found in SO many of the Malt
