WOMEN WANT PURITY
AND QUALITY IN WHISKY
Thousands of GentIer Sex Urge
Taft to Enforce Food Law

WASHINGTON. July 19.-By reason
of the briefs from the lawyers and let
tiers from women whose attention had
been directed to the fight over what
is whisky" President Taft is forced
TO remember the subject even when
wrestling with the tariff. Purity and
quality in wet goods are what the
women, who are writing the president,
want. They do not set themselves up
as rule, as consumers of the COM
modify, nor are they prepared TO sub
scribe to the sentiment that all whisky
is good
What they seek is to have the pres
ldent adhere TO the ruling of former
President Roosevelt, that straight
whisky, made from distillation Of
grain, is the only form In which it
meets the requirements Of pure food
act Another form of whisky, under
the law as construed by Mr.. Roose-
Welt, must bear a label proclaiming il
TO be adulterated.
The crusade of the women was
started by Mrs. Beulah Amidon. chair
man of the food sanitation committee
of the general federation of women's
clubs of the United States She sent
circulars to every woman's club in the
country. asking that the members
write the president.
