POISONOUS LIQUOR

The toXicOlOgists are the scientists
of the hour. We news-hawks know
that "toxi,' refers to poison, and that
"ology" concerns branch of human
! knowledge. Putting two and two to-
gether gets us started on the way
to an intelligent understanding of
the prominence in health matters of
DR.. Alexander 0. Gettler, who for
fifteen years has been New York
City's toXicOlogist. Legalized liquor
adds emphasis to the demands for
non-poisonous blends, and bootleg
ing conconc0tions. Consequently DR..
Gettler, who has long been pro-
fessor of chemistry in New York
University. and the tOXicOlOgy of New
York City's leading hospitals is
commanding the spotlight in the big
metropolis.
I'm discussing the perils that may
lurk in whiskey blends. DIR. Gettler
classified such liquors in two major
groups.
THE first of these" he said. "is
To he labeled the poisonous
group. And in il are In be included
blends of two or more mature whis-
kics. that is whiskieS aged four
years or more in wood and blends
of mature whiskey with spirits
from which poison inherent in new
production have been eliminated"
DR. Gettler explained that the purest
spirits uhtainable in new production
represent the middle run" in the
purifying disillation process.
Middle run spirits" are known TO
the liquor trade as the product of
the fourth distillation with the
poison bearing first and last parts
or heads" aud tails" cut out and
with whatever poisons that may have
remained redured to the vanishing
point by filtration. This product is
called neutral or cologne spirits.
The second major group" con-
tinued this authority. includes
blends uf mature wHSkcy with alco-

production have not been eliminated.

HOME EDUCATION
BETTER THAN FENCES
By MineryN Hunter

Summer came and the back yard
no longer offered enough shade for
Ralph when at play.

Charlie, his father, said. "but you
cannot watch him every minute"
1T is a pity front fences went out

answered Charlie, laughing.

ments. | will tell it to Ralph and
see how it works with him."
The next day Lena told Ralph this
story:
lived in castle. All around the
castle and the courtyard was a high
wall and outside the wall was a deep
ditch filled with water. This ditch
was called a mOat. No one could
get out of the courtyard unless the
drawbridge was let down across the
mOat. The prince played in the
courtyard every day as safe as could
be for the drawbridge was never let
down unless the king or the queen
told the guards to lower it. The
prince was very happy in his castle
home and in the courtyard"
1T must be wonderful to be
prince" Ralph said.
How would you like to play that
You are a prince?"
Ralph smiled his delight at the
suggestion.
I'll show you how" his mother
promised and together they walked
over the front lawn She told him
the house was his castle. the front
lawn was the courtyard. The hedges
that marked the boundaries were
high walls outside of which the moat
lay. The path through the yard to

Guards not TO lower the drawbridge."
Are You Queen Lena?"
Yes. and you may come into the

Ralph playing happily on his own
