HAYNES SOLE|M|VLY
WARNS Of DEATH
DANGER IN LIQUOR
BY ROY A. HAYNES
Federal Prohibition Commissioner

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - With
tragedy stalking hand in hand with
illicit LIQUOR traffic. [ want to issue
a. solemn warning to the people to
refrain from buying and drinking
whisky or any other intoxicating
Iquor. I issue the warning at this
time, not on legal grounds alone.
but in the sincere belief that the
man or woman who consumes any
of the beverages now being offered
is running the danger of permanent
injury or death in horrible form.
Ninety-eight per cent of bever'
ages now being peddled is unfit to
drink.
Practically every drop of beverage
whisky now offered to the public
carries the possibility of blindness
or other physical impairment-even
death. Remember that bootleggers
have no scruples. They are inter
ested only in profits. Wood alcohol
and other like deadly ingredients
constitute in a large measure their
Illicit product.
Those who are deluded into be-
lieving that whisky is a necessary
ingredient for cheer should recall
that last year at this time tragedy
entered many homes throughout the
country in the guise of poisoned
LIQUORS. Christmas was turned into
a day of sorrow.
