WINE SUPPLY Up
TO FAMILY Doc
Prohibition Commissioners Kfa-
mer Takes Off Lid in
Latest Ruling.
PRESCRIPTIONS ARE 0. KID
Predicted in Washington That Decree
VIII Soon Be Issued Permitting
the Manufacture of Beer ard
Other Malt Liquors.

Washington. Feb. IA ruling that
physicians may prescribe vinous IL
quors in any quantities they see III,
issued BY Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer, contains more comfort for
thirsty Americans than has been dis
covered in many dry day.
"Vinous liquors" described by the
commissioner are OF various alcoholic
content. from or 20 40 per cent, or
even more. Unless the necessity of
such ruling should develop in prac-
tice no attempt will be made to regu-
late tie alcoholic cop.ea. of wines
Dispersed under . physicians pre-
scriptiou, prohibition officials assert
They refused to either confirm or
deny report that decree Will soon
be issued permitting the manufacture
Of beer, stout and other malt liquors,
to be dispensed under prescription
from physicians.
II Is believed, however, that such a
ruling permitting the manufacture of
malt liquor on a limited scale VIII be
the logical outcome of the ruling.
Wines. in many cases, are superior
to whisky as tonic, physicians as
sert. 1t is especially valuable during
cohsaIescence from debilItating dis.
eases and as tonic for the aged.
Pressure by reputable physicians
upon tile prohibition commissioner is
understood 10 have been largely re-
sponsible for the lifting of the ban.
The order issued TO ali prohibition
directors is as follows:
"Some confusion has existed as to
the quantity of wine (vinous llquors)
that may be prescribed by a physician
In his practice for medical purposes.
In order TO remove this confusion you
are advised that until further orders
physicians may prescribe In their prac-
tice such quantities of wine as they. in
the exercise of their sound and honest
judgment, may deem necessary in the
particular case, If they In good faith
believe that the use of wine as a medi-
cine by the person for whom II Is pre-
scribed is necessary and will afford
teiiel " uiiu lIoih soihe hhoWh hif
ment.
The quantity 10 be prescribed is
thus placed in the sound discretion of
the physicians that they should use ex-
traordlnary care not to abuse the right
given them and the directors should
guard this matter most carefully to the
effect that the said privilege Is not
abused by any physician"
