REAL BE- R
APPROVAL
DENIED

Highly imaginative stories
broadcast from Washington that
the Federal Government has con-
scented to the manufacture and
sale in drug stores Of "3.75' per
cent beer" were characterized
by prohibition officials today as
apparently one Of the best engi-
neered press agent stunts worked
on newspapers for a. long time"
The stories, sent out by news
service, have resulted in numer-
Gus protests by the Anti-Saloon
League and other dry organiza-
tions, which apparently took them
seriously.
Permits Raised Issue
The basis for the stories was
furnished by the Treasury Depart
ment issuing permits to two famous
breweries, the Anheuser-B Bush and
the Pabst, to manufacture and sell
to drug stores malt medicinal
tonic containing 3.75 per cent alco-
hol.
Such malt extracts and concoc-
tions are being manufactured by
numerous other plants and dozen
varieties of them can be bought in
drug stores off the patent medicine
shelves. Many of them have an
alcoholic content of 10 and II per
cent instead Of 3.75.
"Why, it's ridiculous to call this
stuff beer" said Prohibition Direc-
tor James e. Jones, chief assistant
to Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, today.
Dry people who say we might
as well open up the saloons are
simply jumping at conclusions
based on exaggerated stories sent
out of Washington.
'"They have never seen the for
nnula and are entirely ignorant Of
this malt medicinal tonic, which
has enormously been called beer.
IT is not only misleading, but actual
misrepresentation to call 1t beer.
This stuff is medicine. 1t is a
thick, sirupy malt mixture, having
rs per cent solid content. It's
very bitter.
THE formula was worked out by
the brewereis and submitted to
Government chemists. They made
a careful analysis and then were
absolutely convinced it could not be
used for beverage purposes.
Free Publicity Story"
THE clever publicity. inflicted
upon the newspapers in these
stories has resulted in the greatest
amount of free advertising that has
ever been given proprietary
medicine.
There are many other malt
preparations on the market con-
tanning d higher percentage of
alcohol and a lower percentage of
solids. Their sale is legal, for one
taste of them would convince any
one they couldn t-be taken for
pleasure.
Why, nearly every medicinal
preparation sold by druggists.
whether on prescription or the
ordinary patent productions, has
more than 3.75 per cent alcohol"
The new malt tonic is a thick,
sirupy connection which is very
dark, and has a bitter, medicinal
taste. 1t has about the same con
sistency as molasses, and can be
eaten with spoon as we'll as
drunk from a glass.
DIR. j. NJ. Doran, chief chemist
of the Prohibition Bureau. de.
scribed the connection as "a heavy
preparation of matted barley"
