A Word for Wine
From One Near Eighty

Any one who has passed life's
meridian will find that wines "will
make his heart beat stronger and
warm his swelling veins to renewed
action and stimulate his brain to
deeds OF Kindness" veteran sug-
gests in the following letter:
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Having known the good quality
OF wines for nearly half a century. +
heartily indorse the letter of r. S.
Dewey in The Tribune. Those Of
US who have known the cafes and
gardens OF Dresden and Paris, with
thelr good light wines and wholesome
peers, appreciate what useful and
peasant gathering places they were for
whoie families. And we feel Mr. Dewey
is right when he advocates regulation
rather than prohibition "in the inter
est OF true temperance" Although I
am nearing my eightieth milestone, |
am no oone-dry prohibitionist, but a
Ilrm Dcnever IN the value Of the prod
ucts Oh v!tlculture. Let any who have
passed life's meridian make trial Of
wholesome wines and he will find thew
Will make his heart beat stronger and
warm his swelling veins to renewed &C.
tlon and stimulate his brain to deeds
OF kindness. Our hurried and vastly
overcrowded life in New York compels
at times OF overwork and stress the
use OF useful stimulant and tonic to
calm the vexed nerves of our ceaseIess
toilers and tide them over their fre-
quent hours of heart and soul fatigue
ana restlessness. j. G. PUMPELLY.

Why Quarrel Over
Drink and Drinkers?

What l.. 3. LaVake had to say
in The Tribune of May about those
who drink brings the following
reply from f. A. Moffett, of 81
Clark Street, Brooklyn:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: According to L.. B. LaVake's
contribution to your symposium on
prohibition the taking Of but single
drink of beer or wine, much less Of
whiskey, begins the moral let-down It
may be slight, he says, but it is there.
He adds that the partaker's moral
sense becomes rerverted: CHS care for
his neighbor ard for right is blunted
he nov sees only his own purpose and
with little scruple as to the wrong or
injury he may do to others, pursues
his object relentlessly if only he can
play safe for himself" And then pro-
ceeds to characterize the presence of
those who use intoXicants as "un-
pleasant, often insulting and danger
ous' to non-users, making. no distinc-
ton whatever as between the moderate
drlnker and the drunkard

are obliged to eat, drink, sleep and
fight with men whose daily rations in
clude beer. wine or rum. What would
those other fighters think, drinkers nt
home as we'll as in the field, as were
their fathers before them, if as users
Of alcoholic beverages they were to
hear themselves spoken Of in such vile
terms?
What must our own fighters think
OF US here at home quarreling among
ourselves, over prohibition and other
matters having no necessary relation
to the war. while they and their drink
ing comrades of other flags are risk
ing their lives to preserve the liber-
ties of the Allied peoplese Doubles.
II they could express their opinion Of
US, they would remind us that our
liberties had for the first three wears
Of the war been in the keeping Of ale
drinking Britishers, drinking Bel
gi3asns: and wine drinking Frenchmen.
Al OF which doubtless shocks our pro.
hlbltlonistS, who seem incapable of
understanding that men who drink,
however moderately, can be efficient
unselfish, brave and honorable.

Distilled Liquor Could Be
Made Harmless, Asserts
A. de Focatiis
Ilabit-F orming Evil
Is in "By-P roducts =
Brooklyn Dealer Warns That
Prohibition Will Cause
More "Moonshining'

Now comes a distiller of seven
,een years experience in the United
States with a proposal to take the
"kick" out of whiskey and to make
!. rs harmless for moderate con-
sumption as beer and wine. A life
time spent in the alcohol industry
has taught A. de Focatiis, engineer,
chemist and expert in alcohol manu-
facture" that most distilled hever-
ages now on the market, especially
the so-called sour mash" whiskcys,
are the greatest danger to the hu-
man race.
"They have.n no reason to exist as
beverages" he declares. "Their in
sidious and baneful nature create
an ever-increasing thirst and quick
intoxication.
But for the men who have fallen
victim to the habit he proposes a
fractional redistillation process,
which removes from whiskey all it's
harmful effects, while retaining its
beneficial properties. Used moder-
ately, it is harmless and even bene-
fetal, he contends. Five times the
quantity Of the new liquor must be
consumed to produce the intoxica-
ton of the commercial whiskey now
in the market.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: For the solution of the alcohol
problem in this country the main vital
step is the removal of the so-called
"by-products" found in certain kinds
of distilled liquors, whether domestic
or imported. These by-products are
the direct cause of intemperance and
alcoholism.
Scientists have already fully estab
lished that ethyl is the only alcohol
which exists pure in its nature, and
it only may be allowed in beverages,
because when moderately used it is
harmless and sometimes beneficial.
Other alcohols and volatile substances.
generally called by-products or sec
ondary products of fermentation, are
IN the human organism eHClIeiy VI u'i-
fere1t effect from ethyl, being in their
nature injurious and poisonous, affect
ing greatly the brain, blood and ner-
yous system.
1t is settled that by-products are of
high Intoxicating power and Of the
utmost deleterious and insidious char
aeter. They, in distilled liquors, create
an irresistible and Unsuitable craving
and facile inebriety, which generate in
temperance and large extent of we'll
known alcoholic diseases-for instance,
dpsomania, which leads very fire.
quently to criminality, pauperism and
other evils mainly due to the effect
of the by-products.
Therefore. if distilled liquor con-
tains only ethyl its alcoholic strength
is scientifically pure and fit, but if it
contains both ethyl and by-products it
is an impure and unfit beverage. Thus,
science has absolutely prohibited by
products in distilled liquors, being not
only not of any beneficial effect. but,
on the contrary, harmful even if mod
erately used.
