SAWDUST and Other REFUSE Used TO Make WINES

A DISCUSSION OF the new tariff law in Con-
~ gress has brought out some very curious
l. facts concerning wines and their adultera-
ton. A clause requiring all alcohols made from
fruits and used for fortifying sweet wines to be
taxed sl.1O per gallon brought out some sharp
debate and some information that was not well
known before.
