Impression That intoxicating

ing Cereal Beverages.

Washington. clear up the mis-
taken impression held throughout the
country that manufacture of intoxicat
ing wine is permitted to heads of fam
lilies, Prohibition Commissioner Roy
A. Haynes has made his promised
statement on whats what"
notwithstanding fruit juice can be
made in the home" it says. "1ntoxi
eating wine, home brew and distilled
spirits may not be made"
There is a widespread impression
that it is legal to manufacture with.
out a permit, in the home or else
where, beer, ale and porter containing
less than one-half of 1 per cent OF al
cohol by volume.
Manufacturers of malt extracts
and similar material endeavor to take
advantage of this supposed condition
of the law to sell extracts or material
for the manufacture by persons in the
home of beer, ale, or porter ostensibly
to contain high alcoholic content.
"Such persons seek to hide theil
fraudulent objects by putting the re
cipe for the manufacture Of liquor
containing high alcoholic content in
the shape of a warning not to follow
a certain course, because such course
will produce a high alcoholic content
without, of course, deceiving anyone
as to the real intent"
After further discussion of the tech
nicalities of the law, the commission
concludes:
"It is a violation to manufacture
sell or possess for sale, except to a
person holding permit under the ma
tional prohibition act, malt extract
with hops and clarified for the manu-
facture of cereal beverages or malt
liquor.
"This office has not issued permits
for the manufacture of wine, home
brew, distilled spirits, or any Other
Intoxicating liquors for beverage use
in the home or elsewhere, and under
the law cannot issue such permits"
