Washington, May 13.-The good old elixir known as apple jack was eulogized in the Senate today by Senator Maritime of New Jersey and Senator Nelson of Minnesota was moved to make Q few remarks about whisky straight during consideration of the agricultural bill.
 You can always tell whether man has taken whisky straight or a whisky blend by smelling his breath" declared Mir Nelson. He said he was opposed to determining so fine point by gross scien- tific standards. Senator Maritime thought the main point was being lost sight of.
 "What difference does it make" said he, If the whisky is pretty good? What does it matter if the deliciousness and the delirium of flavor are there? Come to the glorious commonwealth of New Jersey, where they brew rivers of an elixir known as apple jack, whether col ored or uncolored. It is rich in aroma, delirious as an intox6ant, promoting happiness, health and longevity. Why, MT President, after a couple of drinks Of New Jersey apple jack they would not be able to detect the colors in rainbow. But. MT.
