How To Doctor
Legal Alcohol

Washington, Sept. Is (AP)-Chem-
lists in the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue. have been experimenting for
many months to find some substance
which, if put into commercial alco-
hol. will prevent its being used for
beverage purposes when diverted in
to the hands Of bootleggers. Quinine
and other chemicals have been used,
but 1t has been a puzzle to get a spe-
cific that cannot be taken out by
chemical processes.
Patent medicine manufacturers
utilizing alcohol in their wares are
required to submit samples to the
Internal Revenue Bureau, where
chemists ascertain II the products
might be used for beverage purposes,
because of the alcohol that is in
them. If the medicines might be-
come available as passable substi-
tutes for whiskey or wine, the gov
eminent disallows the application
Inspectors in the field follow up the
chemists test by an inspection of the
physical properties of the plant, TO
see that the manufacturer has the
apparatus to turn out the quantity
of product he intends and to insure
that no alcohol might get into boot
leg channels.
