WHISKEY DEFINED.
Harmless CoLoung or FlaUoring Not
InlarfuI. Solicitor General Holds.

Washington. June Lloyd W Bowers Solicitor
General of the United States to-day submitted 10
President Taft his opinion as to what ''whiskey''
means In law. He holds that the public does not
consider that added coIorfng or favor4nr matter
can make whiskey out OF what otherwise Is not
whiskey
There is more reason for wing that alcohol
becomes whsltey because coIored and IA vored like
some true whiskey than for saying that alcohol
becomes brandy because colored or Favored like
some brandy" Re says. "On the other hand. the
mere addition Of harmless cooring or nsvoring
matter what is previously vhiskey does not
destroy whiskey character unless such addition
unduly dTutes or otherwise affects the essential
properties Of the whiskey-
''Whiskey having been IN all its history eXten-
sively and varousy colored and favored by add
ton of extraneous matter such coloring and ia
ing cannot be considered illegitimste incompati
bic with the name whiskev. The United States
pure food law also provides in that the
addition OF harmless coloring havoring in
gradients used for the purpose OF colorins and
havornz only is consistent with the term blend,
and therefore of course. may be done without Gre
ating a compound article"
A mixture Of whiskey with alcohol or neutral
spirits is entitled to the name whiskey. Mr.. Bowers
holds provided the mixture retains substs ntial
Of by-products in proportion TO the volume
OF the mixture. giving distinctive flavor and prop
critics The addition Of alcohol TO whiskey is not
the introduction Of foreign substance, but merely
an enlargement OF the proportion OF proper
stitueut.
Solicitor General wers holds that the name
whlskey has dihereQt scope. whether it be used
a drug beverage. and declares the
tention that whiskey may be made from molasses
incorrect.
whils the opinion or Mr. Bowers is not final IT is
a victory for the contention Of the blended whskey
distillers and reversal Of the position heretofore
taken by the Department OF Agriculture.
President Taft announced opinion himself be-
cause he desires TO hear further testimony from
what are known straight whiskey" distilers.

they would receive dressing down" from Mr..

sbcut 81. Then Mr.. Bailey came TO the con-
clusion that the Importance OF the incident had
teen exaggerated. The three Democrats. all of
whom were standing. smiled at one another and
est down.
An incident on the Republican side doubtless
ronuibuted to the acerbity of the debate and
sed Mr- Aldrich 10 express himself more point
edly than is his custom. Senator Hale had
ssken the Senator from Rhode Island to task
privately, Of course for answering the pro
sgressives-" He had urged upon Mr.. Aldrich

edge especially gloried in the prominence af-
foried them by Mr.. AIdrch's attention; that
they would infinitely prefer being excoriated by
Sr. Aldrfch TO being ignored; that every reply
Of member OF the organization afforded an
excuse for further defamation by its oppo-
nents wasted time and accomplished nothing.
Mr. Hale declared that the proper policy to pur
for the chairman OF the Finance Com
-nittee 10 explain clearly and briefly the reasons
which had actuated the committee in recon-
mendng the changes in a schedule, TO ignore
ahe charges and criticisms OF the Insurgents
IEnd soon as they ceased talking to demand
vote This course was not an easy one to fol-
f1or. the Maine Senator appreciated. but he in
Fsasted that * was the only wise TO pursue.
So urgently did the Senator from Maine. than
whom ore is more successful in guiding an
appropriation bill through the mazes OF debate
with the maximum expedition, press his views

lEerted him and the clash with Mr. Beveridge

the germs of the white plague to the human be-
ines who their milk
We have the perfectly feasible method OF saving
the babies by pasteuriZng all the milk that does
not come from tuberculin tested herds. chicago IS
the oniv city i'm the world that takes such pre-
cautions to save it's people from tuberculosis.
