GERMANS EXPORTING
ALCOHOL POWDERS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press)-Home brewers and anti
Volsteadeans, beware the Booze Pow
DER is the warning sent broadcast by
the Post Ofice Department, in recent
circular. For stemming a tide of de
hybrated' alcoholic beverages of renin-
iscent names is a steady job of the
fraud section of the department.
Using the reputation of German chem
lists certain German concerns have dis
tributed hundreds of thousands of cir
culars in the United States. offering for
zone dollar only. Rhine Wine, Moselle,
Sherry, Port, Bordeaux. Burgundy TolSay.
Munich beer, Fi1sensr, porter, ale, etc.
in dried form, says the Post Office. From
the powder a gallon or two of the bev-
erage indicated on the package can be
made, the spurious circulars claim.
Despite the issuance of fraud warn
ings and fraud orders many people are
still sending money to these German
concerns only to have the money re-
turned to them by the Post Office De-
partment. II these powders contained
alchohol their importation would be pro-
hibited and since they do not have the
latent possibilities advertised they vio-
late the mail fraud statutes.
A significant requirement, adds the
Department warnings, is that every ad-
vertising circular insists on payment be-
ing made in American currency.
