Washington. Oct. 2+.-Seeretary
OF the Treasury Mellon lifted the
lid today on the manufacture and
sale OF beer for medicinal purposes.
Deciding not to wait longer for
the passage OF the pending anti-beer
bill by congress. Mr.. Mellon issued
rigid regulations for the manufac-
turc of beer by authorized brewers
and its sale by druggists upon an au-
'thorized physicians prescription. Not
more than two and one-half gallons
OF beer may be prescribed at one
time for use by tho same person.
The revised regulations limit the
prescription OF whisky and brandy
to one pint for the same person
within 10 days. OF wine to two
quarts and OF alcohol for external
use to one pint at time. Druggists
arc d rectcd to refuse to fill pre-
scriptions if convinced they are is
sued for other than medicinal pur-
poses.
Protect Legal Rights.
"The issuance of the beer regula-
tions," Mr.. Mellon explained, was
delayed originally because it SEEM
ed probable that Legislation would
be enacted whereby the action Of
the department would be Of no prac-
tical advantage to those interested;
and this view appeared to be ac-
quiesced in by them. since there was
at that time no urgent demand for
the issuance of the regulations.
However, for some time past, it
has been strongly urged by those
interested that this department had
no right longer to withhold these
regulations, and that in so doing the
department is denying to those inter-
ested their clear legal right and
thereby imposing serious loss upon
them. The legal rights of the par
ties concerned being plain, the de-
partment is unable longer to delay
the issuance of these regulations"
In some quarters it is predicted
that the action of the administration
will strengthen the opposition to the
anti-beer bill and cause its eventual
defeat. The bill is pending in the
senate in the form of conference
report, but has been laid aside un-
til the tax bill is passed when its
hackers assert it will be brought for
ward again. ..s---vs--
Drys Flabbergasted.
Representative Volstead was so
flabbergasted when he heard Mr..
Mellon had tilted the lid on medic
inal beer that lie gasped II don't be-
lieve it." and would say no more.
THE same reasons for withhold
ing the regulations now exist as have
existed for several weeks past" was
all that could be elected from Wayne
B. Wheeler. counsel for the Anti
Saloon league.
The regulations require the sale Of
beer in bottles only, which shall be
labeled with the name of the manu-
facturer and the legend "For medici-
nal purposes only. Sale or use for
other purposes will cause heavy pen
alties to be inflicted"

ASK CONGRESS- AID
Action Completed on Bill to
Extend Emergency Tar

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Con-
gressional action was completed on
Thursday on the bill TO extend the
life Of the emergency tariff until
permamenent tariff legislation is
enacted while the senate finance
committee was hearing appeals for
protection from livestock and paul
try growers.
The final legislative action on the
bill to extend the emergency act,
which otherwise would expire by

of the house in amendments added
to the senate. Ths senate amend
ments were accepted 233 to SO,
most OF this opposition votes being
cast by democrats.

The poultry growers, through the
American Poultry association, told
the senate committee that the Am

her foreign sister under rates on
eggs as contained in the FOrdney

asked a duty of eight cents a dozen
on eggs instead of the six cent rate
of the Fordney bill
The requirements of the cattle
men, as submitted by Judge Samuel
II. Cowan of Fort Worth. represent
ing the American National Livestock
association. are for a 20 percent ad
yalorem duty on hides and an equal
rate on fresh and prepared meats
but the provision that the 20 per-

alton asked that a basic duty Of 20
percent be established rather than
on a per head basis with a specific
duty as provided by the house. Hides
are now on the free list, while the
rates on cattle ranged from one to
one and one-quarter cents a pound
and the beef and veal duty is two
cents a pound.
Mr.. COwan contended, as did Joe
II. Mercer. Of Topeka, representing
the Kansas Livestock association
and Z. 3. SLiller. Of Fort Worth. for
the Texas Cattle Raisers' associa-
