moonshiners, or they may be put in
deliberately to hurry fermentation Of
the mash without any realization that
they also will produce deadly poisons.
Country people have observed for years
that certain things added to the mash
hasten the process without any un-
Outstanding of the underlying chem
istry. In some cases it has been pos
sible to trace the liquor back to its
source. Some Of the vileSt, 1t was
found, came from the mountain foot
hills of Virginia, where corn whisky
has been manufactured for genera
tions and. where certain heterogeneous
waste which tremendously speeded fer

Moonshiners, the investigation shows,
are beginning to learn the value Of
brewers yeast in Fastening fermenta-
ton. This keeps the product purer.
The reaction of the steady liG90r diet
on the rabbits is decidedly unhealthy.
DR.. Hunter finds The various poisons
either kill outright or cause serious
physical degeneration. The George
Washington Investigators are especially
interested in the pathological changes,
often microscopic, in the tissues of
stomach, liver, kidneys, brain and in
testines.
Similar experiments are being car
ried on in other medical schools, Dr.
Hunter said. Until the properties of
the liquors which cause death are
known and post-mortem examination
shows Just how they act, physicians
will be at loss to treat victims.

given consideration
Eight of Wisconsin's Republican Con-
gressmen are members of the Progress

platform for the Seventy second Con-
gress. A definite date for the meeting

The Times announced today the legis-
lative program agreed upon at this
meeting. which probably will contain
def1nite proposals on unemployment and
agricultural relief, will be made known
to House Republican leaders.
II there is no assurance that this
program viii be permitted to come t.
q vote, the Progressives likely will side
with the Democrats in selection Of q
successor to the late Speaker Nicholas
Lo1gworth and the lining up of i'm
portant committee memberships, the
Times said.
The Wisconsin ProgTessives are Rep
resentatives Thomas r. Amlie. Elkhorn;
