Warning From An Ex-D istilIer


If the patrons of the bootleggers
do not believe the warnings that are
being given them from many Of al
thority, not the least among whom is
Chief Chemist Spear of the lnterna-
tional Revenue Bureau, who declares
that in 90 cases of 100, he who buys
LIQUOR from a bootlegger is buying
deadly poison, certainly they ought
to heed the words of a distiller, now out
Of business. He says that the first
distillation of whiskey always contains
considerable fusel oil which only later
distillation and at least four years IN
a charred wooden %container Will re-
move. Fusel oil, he adds, is a deadly
noison which brings horrible results
to those who drink it even in minute
quantities. A bootleg whiskey is IN
nearly every ease the result of a SIN
ole d~istillation and never is aged l n a
eharred barrel. No further comment
is necessary.

One highly important point is that Of tho
former soldiers attitude toward the me-
mortal idea and toward any certain form OF
memorial. There will be differences among
them. OF course. but It should be possible
to ascertain the predominating soldier senti-
inent on any vital part OF the project: and
II may not be inappropriate to say that this
sentiment should be actively sought and pro-
foundly respected.
me American Legion speaks with meas
urable authority for II large body of the ex-
soldiers. Some question has arisen quite
recently as to the attitude of the legion to-
change or division in legion sentiment have
oeeh made III the General Assembly in con-
h"ction with the proposal to- abandon the
original memorial project. \ communication
from Junus +. Lynch. commander OF the
legion IN Virginia. appears this page

to the legion's position
Especially worthy OF reflection is the re-
hinder that the legion could not properly or
oecominEy have gone before the I.egis-

too sacred TO be dragged i'm the mire OF
political chickering's and sQuabbcs." Mani

expected OF an organization Of former serv-
