ROBIN HAS EVEN CHANCE
OF OVERCOMING POISON
Accused Bankers Attempt at
SeIf-Destruction May Not
Be Successful.

NEW YORK. December 31.-Physicians
said today that Joseph G. Robin, the
bank director who swallowed hyocya-
mine just before the hour of, his ar
raignment yesterday on an indictment of
grand larceny from the Washington
Savings Bank. had an even chance of
recovery. The indicted banker lies q
prisoner in the prison ward Of Bellevue
Hospital, and constant watch is MAIN
tanned to see that he does not swallow
any more poison.
Suffers From Illness.
Robins physical condition is run down
by illness, and the One-tenth grain of
hyocyamine took potent effect. No date
has been set for his arraignment on the
larceny charge, but with the assembling
of the January grand jury the district
attorney will lay the varied transactions
that Robin effected as the controlling in
terest i'm the Northern Bank, whose fail
ure was followed by the suspension of
the Washington Savings Bank, before
the grand jurymen as a basis for further
indictments.
Regarded as Proof Of Sanity.
Word was received at the district at
torney's office that Robin showed decided
Improvement during the morning hours,
and that the chances for his complete re-
covery are good. Officials OF the prose-
cutor's office today were discussing
Robins remark to his sister when he
was brought to after taking the hyocya-
mine.
Robin told his sister he had taken
poison. This, the lawyers argue, showed
his mind was very clear. and that he
smoke in an unguarded moment, thus aid
ing the state to shatter defense OF in
sanity.

Beer High Grad. and Low Grad

Beer High Grade and Low Grade
The old beer question is an interesting
one. d. T. Alexander MacNicholl, vice
present of tho American Society for the
Study Of Alcohol and Narcotics, says in
The National Prohibitionist, that a
chemical study Of high class beer when
ready for the market shows water, glyc-
crime. bitter and resinous products,
starch, dextrin, aoetic, succine. Tactic,
malic, carbonic and tannic acids, aka
line and earthly phosphates and alcohol.
The value Of the water as beverage
is destroyed by the chemicals it holds in
solution, and alcohol as an active poison
is present in sufficient amount to work
permanent changes in the vital centers
Of the regular drinker. he says that all
the other elements contained in tum-
blerful of beer, except water and alco-
hol, would not fill teaspoon, and yet
in this small masa we are supposed to
find the nutritious properties of beer;
but instead Of being nutritious these
elements are in such combination that
the system cannot appropriate thom to
its usei that any nutrient value possess
ed by starch and dextrine is neutralized
or destroyed in the presents Of the acid
elements; and that the bulk Of ths ele-
ments are Of such nature or in such

combination that when ingested harm
is likely to result. Even the bitter prin-
cipal of hops. he affirms, increases the
narcotic effects Of alcohol-trebles the
power of alcohol in dulling the intellec-
tual centers and slowing all the vital
processes.
DR.. MacNicholl shows low grade,
cheap beer TO be even more harmful, in
that:
Instead of barley-malt, various grains
oats. rye. rice. and even refuse of grains
and Vegetables. and syrups Of glucose
obtained through the agency of CONNER
cisl sulphuric acid are utilized in beer
manufacture. Hops are replaced by
quassia. aloes. gentian, leaves of the fir.

ica, strychnine, coculus. indicus, colo
oynth. etc. Preservatives. such s
oxalic acid. salioylic acid and salioylates
sulI lI'hurous acid and bisulphates, and
coloring matters, such as carbonate of
amonia, fat and caramel mixed and su-
per-heated. are used.
He concludes, however, that:
Whether the beer be high grade or
low grade, the alcohol contained is, for
one reason or another. active enough to
poison the protoplasm Of germ cells and
project through generations of drinkers
children untold misery and disease,
