REAL BEER MAY Be
PRESCRIBED UNDER
NEW FEDERAL RULE
UNDER PALMER RULING DEPART.
MENT OF JUSTICE WILL HAVE
SUPERVISION OVER DIsTRl6U.
TloN OF 2.75 OR BETTER RREWs
ALLOWED As "TONICS."

Washington, March 1.-TWO sweep
ing changes in prohibition and it's en-
forcement in Chicago and elsewhere
were made known yesterday at Wash
ington.
Under the first ruling said to have
been the last official act of eX-Attor
ney General Palmer, the manufacture
and sale of beer is permissible when
1t is to be used for medicinal pur'
poses.
Under the second ruling, prohibition
enforcement offices throughout the
country are to be abolished and the
entire question of supervision put in
to the hands OF the department OF
Justice. This means the abolition OF
the lob now held by Frank d. Rich
ardson and its consolidation under the
local department of justice The per
NIT department is expected to come
under the internal revenue depart
ment.
The ruling on beer had been eX,
pected for many months. Brewers,
strangely are fighting the move on
the basis Of discrimination against
former saloonkeepers in favor of drug
stores.
Ralph W. Stone, regional director
for Illinois, said he had expected the
ruling, but had not yet received a
copy OF It from Washington.
1T means that the fellow who wrote
that song;
Hush. little barroom, don't you cry,
You'll be a drug store by and by,
evidently knew whereof he wrote"
Mr. Stone said. 9Tha return of
beer, if the report is correct, may
minimize our troubles, but at the
same time it certainly will open the
food gates for beer consumers
The manufacture of beer is prohib-
tied under the Volstead act. Under
this ruling it may be resumed. This
brings the question of distribution to
the fore and offers the enforcement
department its troubles
1t is planned to limit beer to per
sons needing it as a tonic. Prescrip-
tons viii be written by physicians
through control of the permit depart
ment the same as whisky prescrip.
tons are now issued
a patient may leave his physicians
prescription with the neighborhOOd

The druggist relays The prescrip.
tion to his fayorite brewer and the
beer is delivered to your door.
