United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-You fellows
and girls-who like wines and
beers, just keep on drinking; it's
pleasant way to get needed water
into the system.
Some people can't take it." DR..
Gustav Egloff said in an interview
today, and that is one of the
reasons we had the prohibition
amendment. Because their systems
could not take alcoholic beverages,
they thought it was wrong morally"
DR.. Egloff, president of the Chi
cago Chemists Club, who is at
tending the sessions of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, laid down a
few rules for drinkers.
It's Golden Rule
Drinking in moderation for those
who like it," he said, SIS golden
rule. Some people don't like water.
BY and large, light wines and beer
are beneficial to the body. 1t is
an easy and pleasant way of getting
needed water into the system.
Most human beings are moderate
and as a matter of fact before the
prohibition amendment was en-
acted, imbibing Of alcoholic bev-
erages was dwindling. When the
amendment is repealed, we will
come back to nonpoisonous beve-
RACES, properly fermented under
natural conditions, instead of hav-
ing to rely on bootleggegrs and the
criminals who surround them"
On the question of hard liquors
and as to the number of drinks one
can take safely, DR.. Egloff said that
was an individuals own problem to
decide.
