The insular treasurer. Jose c. Bene-

the house OF representatives to enact

Mr.. Benedicto pointed out that It
was legally permissible to use alcohol

regulations, so that any individual
could prepare a formula. have it APP
proved by the treasury and health de

the island Theoretically. these prep

sumption and were harmful to the
health, but in practice 1t had been
found that they were being drunk in
alarming quantities. he said. Their
sale could not very well be stopped as
they were permitted by law.
Before prohibition went into force
here" said Mr.. Benediicto. "the alco-
hol used for Industrial purposes IN
Porto Rico amounted TO between 7oo0
and 5000 quarts month. whereas
during last March no less than $4,000
quarts were used. and in April $4,000
quarts"
There are two methods Of dealing
with the question through the legisla-
ture, said Mr. Benedicto. Either by
Selling all these preparations which
are being used as a drink. although
manufactured under insular permits
or BY increasing the quarterly license
TO manufacturers TO $500 instead OF
the SIS now being proposed, which
would enable only the larger firms to
manufacture such preparations and
would take them out Of the reach OF
the general public.
Dr. del Vale informed the house Of
the measures which had already been
to prevent the use OF such
tones for drinking purposes At first.
he said. wood alcohol had been intro
duced into these preparations, but in
view Of the terrible effects 1t pro-
