the definition. for they are all under
one title. whisky" Why ara tests
given in the text, if they are not 'es-
sentially parts of the Jaw?
He states that they do not seem to
be parts of the definition, but are rath-
er points Of distinction between sur
perior and inferior whisky. They do
not obliterate the fundamental requisite
Of whisky as given in the definition it
self"
Why, Of course, they do not The
tests confirm the definition and furnish
a practical. concrete method Of proving
whether the whisky conforms 10 the
definition. or, in fact, whether it is en-
titled to the name Of whisky under the
Pharmacopoeia or not. The Solicitor
General further fnds that what IS
whisky for drinking is equally whisky
as medicine, so far as the popular
acceptance of the name can determine
The last of the questions put to me IS
whether the name whisky has a diff
ferent scope, according TO the fact
whether the article whisky is used as
a drug or as a beverage; 1 have an

for the well must be the same as

and actually they possessed no remedy
TO cure this evil.
Now. why could not another name
than Imitation whisky" be devised.
Everyone must admit that imitation

THE NEW WOMAN SEEMS TO
BE HERE TO STAY.

There is evidence on all sides that
woman, whether or not she has the bal
lot, and whether OF not she ever gets it.
has left the old and the beaten path for
good. In the world of work she elbows
man out of a job, doing it cheaper,
and, she says, better In the schools
she has left him hardly foothold In
a dozen other fields, where few years
ago she hesitated to venture, now she
walks with assured step Even in the
realm of sport she Is beginning to push
her way. A rich young California
woman is playing polo and wears just
what man wears when he enters the
game. She says it is nobody's bust
ness what she puts on. In the news
paper one constantly finds instances
that surprise him-if he happens to be
at all old-fashioned-o womans &C
tivity. The papers of central New
York of the last few days Fave been
heralding the journey OF four women
who have started for the Seattle Elk

they left the men at home because they
would be in the way. One of the party
said;
We are Just out for good time.
and as we are all married women
what care we for our looks? We have
no one to please but ourselves. and
we are not trying to break any rec
ords. Get along without man, did
YOU ask? Well, I guess yes; there
is nothing a man can do that we can
not do, so what's ne use OF carrying
excessive baggage2
Thus far they have been arrested
once for speeding, but when they faced
the justice of the peace he did not
have the nerve or the heart TO fine
them, and they went on their way re
joicing.
1t has not been long since trip of
this sort by women would have been
considered foolhardy thing. Even
now it is possible the fair tourists may
think man is worth something before
they finish their journey. But the
matter-of- fact way in which they start
on trip that might daunt men is apt
illustration of the fact that woman's
sphere is a great deal broader than it
used 10 be.

LUCIUS P. BROWN,
Food and Drug Commissioner of Ten,

In reply ~ your telegram regarding
recent decision Of Solicitor General
Bowers. we are not called upon in
Tennessee for whisky standards. but 1
regard the principle OF this case as very
important In the fight for purity.
Mixture of neutral spirits and whisky
ought to be so labeled. The use of arti-
hciaI cOloring is very objectiona bic. and
1t is added primarily to deceive. II
Bowers decision stands, II viii have q
very bad effect upon the pure food fight
in this and every other State, because
1t seems to allow unlike materials to be
blended, and this principle is a bad one,
IN my opinion.
The Mackinac standards do not allow
such labelling, and we should have no
backward step in the fight for the
square deal IN food trade now
