The city council voted last night

BLAIR PLANS To
CARE FOR BEER
Will Issue Regulations For
Its Use as Medicine if
Senate Fails to Act

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Collector
of Internal Revenue Blair today an
nounced that he would issue regusa-
Mons covering the use OF beer as a
medicine Within the next few uays
unless that 1t appeared prohlbitory
acLlon would be taken by congress III
the meanwhile. Efforts to bring the
Mlllis-Campbell anti-beer bill TO a
vote in the senate next week were
blocked TO-DAY by opponents.
The new regulations for the manu-
facture and use OF beer Tor medical
purposes are understood to make the
case the unit for prescriptions, Dut
set no limit to the number of prescrip-
lions which may be written or obtain
ed on the theory that Attorney Gen
eral Palmer held that the quantity OF
beer or the number of prescriptions
might be limited, but not both.
Regulations for the use of wine as
medicine are understood to permit
two quarts to be prescribed at one
time.
Formal proposals by Senator Sterl-
ing, Republican of South Dakota, for
final disposition of the measure early
next week were thwarted by Senator
Brossard, Democrat of Louisiana, who
refused to enter into unanimous con-
sent agreement.
Wayne b. Wheeer, generaI cOunsei
for the Anti-Saloon League, today is
sued another statement urging prompt
action on the bill, which, he said
would prevent breweries from making
real beer in a day or two after the
regulations are issued, as they are
likely to do.
