 REVENUE COMMISSIONER
 MUST APPROVE MEASURE Regulations, However. Are Purely Tentative and Must Receive Approv- al of New Internal Revenue Officers Amount Mentioned Above Applies to Individual Prescriptions.

Washington. April 23.-An arbi- trary limit of 47s gallons of beer and 3 gallons of wine as the maximum a physician may prescribe at any one time has been set in new prohibition regulations which must receive the approval of David H. Blair, the new commissioner of internal revenue.
 Kramer Gives Opinion.
 In making this announcement to- day, Prohibition Commissioner Kram- CT said that while under Attorney General Palmers recent opinion, the amount of beer or wine prescribed by a physician over a given period could not be limited, 1t was believed that the amount of individual prescriptions could be limited to a reasonable max imum.
 It would not be practical, he said, to require a patient for whom two or three bottles of beer a day might be prescribed to obtain a prescription for each day
 Regulations But Tentative.
 Issuance of. beer and wine regula- tions. Mir. Kramer emphasized, will depend entirely upon the decision of the new internal revenue commission. Regulations as prepared for his ap- proval. he said, were merely tenta- tive.
