NOT MOLLYCODDLES Dr. Wiley Denies Declaring the Teetotaler a
 Weakling. NOT NECESSARY FOR NERVE Docs Not Think 1t Sorry Thing for Nation if Booze" is Ever
 Banished

Washington March 5.-In signed statement tonight, pr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis- try of the department of agriculture vigorously denies statements he is al- legged to have made recently, one be- ing that "the man who never takes a drink is a 'mollycoddle.'
 The statements attributed to pr. Wiley in regard to whiskey and alco- hol were made in an address before the University club h. Washington on Sat urday night, Feb. 29th, which he de- cares "are wholly mwarranted by the facts
 pr. Wiley is credited also with hay ing said in effect that it will be a sorry day for this country if booze" is ever hanished from it's domain and that ht would have the young man drink whis' key not only for his stomach's sake but to give him nerve, self reliance etc. Here is what pr. Wiley states ht actually did say on the occasion re- ferred to:
 "I said l believed the general effec of alcohol on mankind was wholly bad that it was bad even in small quanti ties; that if distilled beverages, sucl as whiskey, brandy and rum. had any good effects they were due to the fac that aromatic and fragrant substance therein stimulated the digestive seere tions and this overcame, to a certain extent, the bad effects of the alcoho which they contained. I further sai' that I was in theory prohibitionlst but that there were practical dificul ties in the way of prohibition and tha the better plan would belto abolish tn saloons, and that if people wanted L l drink distilled beverages they shoul' do so quietly at their homes and wit i their foods and not in saloons. I di' not suggest. nor advise young man t drink liquor of any kind, but said tha l it was always bad"
