BRITONS TO PROFIT From the Wedding of King George’s Daughter to the Viscount Lascelles REFURNISH HOUSE Two and Three Thousand Guests Will Spend Money for New Gowns, Etc. United Preaa Staff Correspondent London. Dec. 23.—(Special to Dally Democrat)—No event in England these daya, even the engagement of King George’s daughter, can escape attention from its probable effect on the business and unemployment situation. And so London has started to figure just how much the manufacturers, tradesmen and workers are going to be relieved by the coming marriage of Princess Mary to Viscount Lascelles. It has been figured, for Instance, that the house furnishing trade will profit immediately. Queen Mary, it is reported, has twice visited Chesterfield House, the stately residenc of Lasceles and the prospective home of his bride-to-be. The Queen decided, in those two inspections that the royal daughter would want new fixin's so the house will be refurnished almost throughout, from the door-mat to the ice box. But the furniture trade is not the only one that scents profit. More important than that are the orders for new gowns, millinery, hosiery and boots that will be showered upon the women's outfitting establishments. First of course, comes the Princess’ trousseau. Costumes for the wedding ceremony, when it is considered that between two and three thousand guests aro expected will mount into immense figures. These orders will come from members of the peerage, the diplomatic corps and leading figures in the church, the army and navy and the air force. The jewelry trade too, will benefit. Especially is there expected a boom in emeralds, for that is the jewel in the Princess’ engagemnt ring. BOOZE IS POISON Chemist Says You’re Flirting With the Graveyard If You Drink w THE BOOTLEG STUFF Contains High Percentage of Fusel Oil and Removes Oxygen from Blood. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 23. —(Special to Daily Democrat).—The “Grim Reaper" is stalking at your side. Casket, hearse and grave are staring you squarely in the face. Within five years—if you don’t watch your step—there’ll be enough of you to fill every cemetery in the country. This warning to present day drinkers was sounded here today by .leading analytic and consulting chemists. Men and women indulging in drinks banned by the eighteenth amendment are, the experts say, slowly but surely asphyxiating themselves. Unsuspectingly they are assimilating poisons found in almost every so-called "pure, bonded" liquor in these times of bootleggers, amateur distillers and home brewers, according to Assistant City Chemist J. M. Kovachy. Hundreds of samples of the “real stuff" have been brought to Kovachy for analysis. All, thus far, he says, contained a high percentage of fusel oil. This substance, Kovachy claims, causes the lips and body to turn blue and removes oxygen from the blood. Fusel oil, the assistant city chemist explained, is a product of fermentation. It consists of a combination of the higher alcohols of which amyl is the chief constituent. ‘‘lllicit peddlers of whisky,” says Kovachy, "employ ethlylactate for flavoring purposes in some cases. One of the greatest dangers is that the illicit manufacturer or home brewer does not know the proportions to be used in making his product. “It is true a portion of the contents of many bottles is pure bonded whisky" asserts M. E. Curtis, proprietor of the Chemical Laboratories. "But,” continued Curtis, "The good liquor is mixed with ingredlates that are harmful to the human system.” Acetone, derived from wood alcohol, is being utilized largely in the manufacture of modern drinks, according to Curtis. latT RESTAURANT Will Serve a Special CHRISTMAS DINNER !
