WHISKEY CAN'T BE
USED AS MEDICINE
BY THE u. S. NAVY

Washington, Sept. 9.-Spiritous
LIQUORS received their final and COM
plete divorce from the United States
Navy in an order made public today
by the bureau of medicine and sur
gerry prohibiting their issue to naval
vessels for medicinal purposes. Not
only are medi9i, supply depots pro-
hibited from issuing whiskey except
to hospitals, but when their present
supplies have become exhausted,
the order states, 'no further pur-
chases will be made and whiskey
will be stricken from the supply
table of the medical department of
the navy" 1t is estimated that the
supply on hand will last not more
than two or three weeks.
May Prescribe Ethyl Alcohol
when whiskey is no longer avail
able" the order says, and a medi-
cal officer deems alcohol stimulation
absolutely essential for the preser,
vation of human life, the ethyl alco'
hol obtainable from supply officers
may be prescribed. This alcohol con-
tains in all respects with the re,
quirements of the United States
pharmacopoeia."
The order directs that no further
purchase from any source be made
of distilled spirits, wines or alcohols
preparations which are designated

A large quantity of alcohol Tor
chemical purposes is stored at the

and because of thefts of the liquor

sonne1 who fell victims to the pol

SEVEN ARE DEAD FROM
PARTAKING OF ALCOHOL

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 9.-The
list of fatalities among civilian en-
ployes of Edgewood Arsenal result
ing from drinking some form of
poisoned alcohol was increased to
seven today by the deaths of Nelson
Lucius of Rochester, N. Y, and
James Davis of Salisbury, Md. Mi
chael O'Leary of Baltimore, the
last one of the known victims, is eX-
pected to recover. He was reported
as improving today, but was too
weak to talk.
Thus far, the military authorities
at Edgewood have been unable to
find out where the liquor came from
by the refusal of the men to tell
where they got it.
An official board of inquiry will
be convened at Edgewood today,
and the local police authorities are
continuing their investigation.
After an inquest held yesterday
over the three who were dead at
that time, the coroner's jury render
ed a verdict that the men had died
either from wood or denatured alco-
hol poisoning.

trary is absolutely false. My opponent

proof that it was drawn for him is that
every low country county went for hin,

divided.

speech or private conversation during the
