PALMER LEAKAGE"
 ISN'T NATIONWIDE

Washington, March 11.-fSpeciaI.)-- The opinion of the former Attorney General, A. Mitchell Palmer, that doc tors may prescribe beer with a 4 per cent kick, will not effect states with prohibition codes-and only nine, 1t is said, are without such codes.
 The opinion, therefore is not of such vital importance either to the brewers or the great bulk of American people, who would substitute beer for the strong liquor that is everywhere ob tainable.
 < But the Anti-Saloon League Is in arms, and it's legal representative. Wayne B. Wheeler. issues formaf statement of complaint ana protes, and criticism, While. he does not stress the point, it IS unquestionably true that the Anti-Saloon League is nettled because the law of the United States runs contrary to its oft-re- peated contention that alcohol pos> sesses no curative features.
 The law of the land, irrespective of medical opinion, holds wine and beer and even whisky is of medicinal value Therein is the main reason for the criticism of the Anti-Saloon League. 1t Is said today.
 The Anti Saloon League. incidental " OOeS not expect lniS aumlniStra tiOn to proceed more obediently in respect to it's commands than the preceding. The Attorney General is said to be "notoriously" wet, and the treasury head formerly owned the stock of the Overholt Distilling company And liquor still abounds with the bootleg gers becoming, if such be possible. more and more bold.
 In this connection, the Anti-Saloon League regards it as significant that even Uncle Sam is not regarded as by those who desire to serye the thirsty of Washington. Major Scanlon of the Boiling field air sta tion, reports that thieves have stolen 30 five-gallon wooden containers of pure alcohol reserved for professional and experimental use. The major es- inmates the value of these 150 gallons at $32S.
 The bootlegger, however, as result of expert dilution. will net many times that sum in return for his 500 quart. of alcohol
