Housewives Placed
On Sugar Rations

Household consumers, as we'll as cam
ners and manufacturers, are put on
sugar rations by an order of the Fed
eral Food Board yesterday.
Retailers are forbidden to sell more
than five pounds of sugar at time to
consumers in towns and cities. The
limit in rural communities s. ten
pounds.
Home Gamers may purchase twenty
five pounds at time, but they must
file certificate showing that it is to
be used only for canning or preserving.
Canning clubs may purchase hundred
pounds at time, certificates being re-
quired.
Following an Investigation of reports
that protiteering in sugar is going on,
the Federal Food Board yesterday sum
moned Louis Lindner, grocer and baker,
76 and II Lewis Street, accused of
charging Is and 18 cents a pound to
consumers. He is also charged with
doing wholesale business without a
license. The case will be continued
neSt week.
Four bakers, who violated the regu-
lations, were ordered to close their
stores for three days; three were
warned and one paid S25 to war char
tiles. The charity donation was ac-
cepted, because the offender, Bernard
Gintel, 231 South Second Street, Brook
lyn, had sold his business and could
not be punished by suspension of
license.

Hylan's Aids Seek
Evidence Against
Brown i'm Records
Hope to Substantiate the
Charges Made by MacBride
by Investigation

IL developed yesterday that the delay
IN formulating the charges on which
lr. Lucius Polk Brown. director of the
bureau of Food and Drugs Of the Board
OF Health, is to be tried is due to a
nuht through the records of the bureau
Mayor Hylan's aids hoped that this
search will justify James f. MacBride's
charge of favoritism.
Mr. MacBride, in his letter making
charges against DR.. Brown, declared
E1own had shown favors to the Borden
MIX Company, intimating that inter
ests connected with this company We're
large contributors to various social
welfare organizations friendly ito DR..
Brown and other chiefs of Health De-
partment bureaus. He also charged
tayoritism to Dr.. William Jay Schief
ielln, president of the Citizens Union,
IN tina: no drug samples had been taken
from Schietfelins firm for examination
as to purity. etc.
The decision TO rely chiefly on the
accusation of favoritlsm Is understood
to nave been reached after it had been
found that the only possible basis for
charges that might sustain DR.. Brown s
dismissal from the public service lay
IN the manner in which complaints
reaching the bureau had been handled.
thousands Of these go to the bureau
III the course of the year and it is pro-
posed to show that not all Of these
were investigated, and that among
those not investigated were some re-
ferring to Bordens and other COM
panies usually described by Mr.. Hylan
as food, milk and drug trusts"
Friends Of DR.. Brown said that in an
open hearing in which he was permitted
to meet squarely the charges against
him it would appear that with the
inspectors at his command it was phys
ically impossible to investigate all of
the complaints received, that he had
repeatedly asked for larger staff and
that under the circumstances the only
course open was to investigate those
complaints most likely to show viola
tions. Otherwise any attempt to con
fine inquiries to so-called trusts would
be to allow lawbreakers of whose guilt
there was small room for doub to
escape altogether.

THE main reason is that times are
good. When prosperity hits the coun-
try people flock to New York, and the
newcomers want apartments, not
houses. Building has almost ceased;
certainly it is not commensurate with
the increased demand for fats.
Landlords haven't been making
much money lately, and everybody else
has. Landlords are losing money to-
day on houses. Two years ago some of
them were losing money on apart
vacancies. They have got to make up
this loss somehow, and, frankly. they
think they are entitled to share in
the general prosper rity."

For a Solution
Between Extremes

The following impartial discussion
Of liquor attempts to sum up the
arguments on both sides and to find
a solution in compromise:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Up to the present time the pro-
hibition controversy has been conduct
ed exclusively with shillelahs. Each
side has seemed bent on clubbing its
opponent out of existence. But un-
der such blows each opponent has
gained strength. They now face each
other better organized. richer, more
determined than ever.
l fear the respective partisans have
sought the annihilation of their op-
ponents rather than the truth. A
searcher for the truth will sincerely
seek to evaluate the weight of the ar
guments on both sides. And even wise
partisanship, l think, will show the
same desire.
Both parties to the prohibition con-
troversy, venture to say, have lost
the confidence of thousands Of poten-
tial adherents because OF their hys-
terical unwillingness even to look at
/ do not remember ever to have seen
an ex-parte statement on the subject
of prohibition which discussed the
claims of the other side with evident
fairness. Rarely, indeed, except in
some. such impartial poll as The Trib-
| une' is now making, are the two sets
OF arguments made to confront each
other.
Perhaps, with an impartial search
Tor the truth that may be on both
sides, some light might break on the
ment, brief summary Of these op-
posing arguments? They are old and
familiar, but perhaps there is GER
| tain quaint novelty to be found in
their nesting costly together.
The prohibitionist's case rests, per.
haps, upon four types of data:
| l. The large quantity Of crime, pow
erty and venereal disease directly
| traceable to intoxication.
2: The physical degeneration Of the
| individual and OF the race resulting
| from inc excessive and possibly even
| from the moderate use of alcohol
| 8. Tho economic waste involvad in
diverting great quantities Of food and
money to the manufacture and pur-
chase OF alcoholic beverages.
| 4. The evil influence which orssr-
| lied liquor interests have too often
exerted IN the fostering of prostitu-
tion and political corruption.

| data have never. l believe, been suc.
cessfully controyerted. Merely to state

Insanity and
Prohibition

The Rev. Merle-Smith submits the
following figures on insanity in pro-
hibition Kansas and "wet" New
York:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: May I correct an inaccuracy in
statement made recently as to the
percentage of insane in New York and
Kansas? In 1910 Kansas had 1922 in
sane per 100000 of population and
New York 1892. Hence, New York's
insane were approximately 200 per
cent of Kansas.
When you consider that, according
to many alienists, farm life with its
hard work and loneliness, is one Of
the most powerful of the predisposing
causes Of insanity, those statistics

Habit-F orming Liquors
Contain Poisons

To-day it is an automatic scientific
truth that to eradicate alcoholism by
products must be eliminated. first of
ALL from distilled beverages. In fact.
by-products are found in the habit
forming liquors; hence they arc the
lows that if by-products are eliminated
the habit-forming cause is destroyed.
Raw materials producing these
liquors contain in their nature ethyl
and by-products.
By the simple distilling process with
which this kind Of beverages arc gem
orally made the elimination of the by
products is absolutely impossible.
Moreover, such liquors are scientif-
ically unfit when viciously fermented.
The discoveries of eminent scientists
OF different nationalities, including
those of the great Pasteur, have es-
tablished that to make from raw
material large percentage of ethyl
mentation must be conducted under
rigorous hygienical conditions, with
pure and selected yeast, technically
called "saccaromyces," which are mi
croscopical monocellular plant organ
sms. but if fermentation is viciously
or impurely made, by-products are pro-
duced in larger quantity. to the great
detriment Of ethyl. which has proper
uonately less percentage.
A technical analysis discloses if
substance is purely or impurely fer
mented. However, whether or not fer
mentation will be scientifically pure,
the Preventative sugar of the raw ma
terial, by the action of the "saccha-
fomyces," is transformed or uncoupled
IN two principal elements; namely,
anhydrid carbonic and alcohol. Anhydrid
earbonic for its gaseous nature goes in
the atmosphere. Alcohol, which is a
compound of ethyl and by-products. re-
mains naturally mixed in the ferment-
ed substance.
AS soon as fermentation ends the
next process is distillation. which can
only separate, but, bound together,
ethyl and by-products, form the fer
mented substance.
This liquid, technically called raw
alcohol" or "crudc alcohol" is dis
tiiicd at the average Of ITO to lao and
represents mass Of poisonous i'm
purity, in which are naturally mixed
ethyl and by-products.
Habit-forming liquors. in fact. are
nothing more than raw alcohol, and
they are scientifically unfit, espe-
cially when containing large per-
eentage Of by-products generated by
improper fermentation.
The "aging in barrels" is a process
added to the simple distillation pro-
!during this kind OF beverages, to OBJ
literate in some degree a certain raw
ness Of favor and smell, which are
Characteristic Of the "raw alcohol"
and to give them taste more or less
smooth, but If analyzed they will be
ethyl.
Besides establishing how and why
fermentation must be made under
rgorously healthful conditions, as
above expressed, the great scientific re-
seesehes point out how "by-products"
nsst be eliminated from ethyl con-
ened in raw alcohol.
