OFFICER CAPTURES
 ALLEGED 'SH|NtR'

Deputy Sheriff J. I. Summers yes terday arrested Alex Williams, q farmer living one and one-half miles west of Wooster, and took charge of a 30-gallon still and worm and about 30 gallons of mash found in Williams home. Williams, the officer said, con fessed that he had been making liquor. He was placed in jail in default of bond and his preliminary hearing on two felony charges, one of having a still in his possession and the other of having mash in his possession, will be had before Justice G. M. Easter wood tomorrow.

The de- fendant, it is stated, has his wife, five step-children and four of his own children dependent upon him for SUD- port, and it was for this reason that the continuance was granted at the January term of court.

RATTI WAS FAVORITE
 OF LATE BENEDICT XIV
(By the Associated Press)

Rome, Feb. 6.-Cardinal Archille Ratti, archbishop of Milan, today elected pope, was for several years papal nuncio in Poland where his dis charge of important ecclesiastical functions when the Polish question became acute earned for him the es- teem of Benedict XIV and the grati- tude of Vatican authorities. It was because of this service that the red hat was conferred upon him on June 16, 1921, when a similar honor was bestowed on Cardinal Laurent.
 Cardinal Ratti was born in Italy on October 12, 1858. For many years he was librarian of the Ambrosian a library and archives at Milan. Later he became librarian of the Vat ican. In this position he remained until the new republic of Poland es- tablished official diplomatic relations with the vatican at which time Ratti was appointed archbishop and was as signed to Poland as the representa- tive of the Holy See.
 That country was then torn with the arrangements from religion brought about by the communistic propaganda from soviet Russia and Archbishop Ratti enumerated the spread of radicalism. He also won the esteem of Polish Catholics by his efforts in behalf of destitute children orphaned by the war.
 Cardinal Ratti as the archbishop of Milan presided over one of the most important archdiocese in Italy The city being a great industrial cen ter, one of it's main requirements is that the cardinal shall possess a thorough knowledge of political and social problems. He is big physically and is reputed to have liberal ten dencies.

QuoI.
The records of Medical Examiner
nr. Charles Norris show that 80 per
sons died from acute alcoholism IN
the first six months OF 1922. These
records include only victims who died
without medical attention, and Dr.
Norris says many other New Workers
probably died of the same cause, but
because of the attendance of private
physicians the cases were not inyesti-
gated by his staff and their deaths are
not included in the records.
The total number OF alcoholic
deaths investigated by the medical eX'
aminer in 1921 was 1913 less than
the total will be for this year nj the
rate TO date. The death rate for the
entire year is expected TO advance.
TIE liquor New York is drinking
may be divided into 81 general groups:
Ffrst-Genuine bottled in bond whs
ky--less than one-sixth Of the total
daily consumption.
Second-Grain alcohol, colored with
burnt sugar and sold under label for
real whisky.
Third-Denature alcohol, which has
been purified to remove the poisonous
substance making it unfit for beyer-
age purposes.
Fourth-Unpurified denatured al
cohol, which may contain creosote,
benzine, kerosene, pyradine. petro-
leum, kerosene. pyradine, petroleum,
ether, diethyl phthalate or come other
denaturant.
Fifth--Wood or methyl alcohol.
Saltwater colored and Favored
with iodine.
This last type of hootch is one of
the dearest indications OF the liquor
situation in New York. Iodine and
water has appeared on the market
only within the last two months and
the connection reveals the lengths to
which bootleggers have gone TO sup
ply the trade.
To anyone not exert in distinguish
ing whisky, and often to those who
are, water colored with iodine has
the appearance OF real Scotch whisky.
