Question Arouses Interest.

Health and police officials are deeply
interested in the question of termi-
mating the use of the poison, and AS

thinks the law should be amended SO

to the provision of the Sheppard law

Make. Sales in Good Faith.

Persons who are engaged in the sale
of ethyl alcohol for mechanical pur-
poses, it is pointed out, effect their
sales in good faith. They are unable
to trace the fluid to the mixing pot,
however. and officials say a more
stringent law thrown about such
sales seems to be the only remedy.
AS long ago as December 8, 1914,
when prohibition states were few and
the question of using wood alcohol as
q substitute for whisky had not been
discussed. the official publication of
the National Association OF Retail
Druggists urged that "methyl alcohol
by whatever name It may be known
and in whatever state it may be sold,
is poison and its sale should be reg
ulated in the manner with reference
to the sale of other poisons."
Not only did the druggists take up
the question of safeguarding the
handling Of the wood alcohol, but one
of the largest firms engaged in the
preparation Of barber supplies and
toilet articles started campaign of
publicity to educate the people not
to use any preparation containing
wood alcohol.
Tells of Deadly Effect.
: 'sThe destructive effect of wood al
cohol upon the optic nerve appears
to be well established" was stated in
the publication. "It operates in such
a way as to cause a wasting away of
the powers of the nerve until it is
completely atrophied..

Little did the trainers Of the Shep-
pard law imagine their document con-
tanned SO complete a letting down of
chase q substitute for whisky with a
few cents as the only requisite. Such
appears to be the case, however, &C
cording to legal representatives. of the
District, who say they are powerless
to prevent 1t.
Reference is made chiefly to wood
and denatured alcohol of the kinds
that are found in wholesale paint
stores, and it is these kinds that are
being largely used by certain classes
of persons in making an intoxica ting
drink known as blackjack"
Effect Extremely Harmful
It's effect upon the system is in
hammation of the optic nerve, causing
defective vision or total blindness,
often followed by delirium and uncon-
sciousness and sometimes endlns IN
death, doctors say.
But hundreds of residents Of this
city, unable to get bottle of whisky
or less harmful intoxicant, are re-
sorting to the blackjack" beverage,
and reports are to the effect that serl-
Gus consequences have followed It's
use. The harmful ethyl or wood alco-
hol is not taken straight, nor is 1t
used in highball form, but in mix
ture that is carefully prepared over
the fire.
What are it's ingredients? To an
swer such question would only mean
putting wrong notions in the heads OF
some of the men and women VINO
might willingly chance going blind or
even death for what they would term
the pleasure of an indulgence in what
the dry law was intended to banlsn
from the entire country.
