f ARMS AGAINST INDIANA BOOZE Is Fit To Drink Dec. 31. - (United t lx>flS than two per cent of I so-called whiskey purchased in ' a „is fit to drink, a warning Istoday by E. A. Miller, attorney J o “ r thP Indiana AntHSaloon league warning which quotes a report . EO vernnient chemists in Chicago, ’otking under the direction ortho fedrl, prohibition enforcement office al- ' •appeals to the patriotism of the Lie of the nation and asks them to in upholding the laws. Ml | es statement issued in connection with the use of holiday liquor. M ?p r John W. Fonner, of Chicago, chemist for the prohibition enforcement department for this district says, . f the distilled spirits which can be purchased illegally only two per cent whiskey of the quality described as United States Pharmacopoeia whiskey.' .•This varies little from the reports published by other chemists but it is especially interesting since all of the samples were bought in this state and the statement applies to the liquor being sold here. “Recently, state prohibition agents, working in the southeastern part of the state, found a still and a large number of bottles that had contained denaturde alcohol, mash, white mule, many empty bottles and a quantity of labe’s of “Bonded in bond whiskey" made by Sambuccetti and Company, Memphis, Tenn.

‘‘What does all this mean? It means that men who have no regard for human life are making liquors that are illegally and surrepticiousiy sold, and are using among other ingredients poisons that are quick acting, causing blindness, insanity and untimely death and putting them out under false labels. “Alcohol a t alt times is poisonous to the human system, whether taken in beer, wine, whiskey or any other durg, but it is slow acting and deceptive making the drinker feel that he is being benefited until finally it makes a slave and a drunkard of its victim. “The liquor sold now is made in the most unsanitary places. Often 11 he mash is made in open barrels set in the ground where it is a catch for tats, insects, and all kinds of vermin. Often the still is placed in filth and sometimes in pi'.es of manure and foul air. The operators know nothing of the chemistry of distillation and many ol them cannot read figures on the thermometers. As might be expected, such liquors are not fit tor consumption and contain volatile oils and other rank poisons. “It means that ony one who drinks alcoholic liquor in Indiana has one chance in fifty of getting what ia sometimes called good whiskey’ and fortynine chances ou,t of fifty that lie is getting a tank and dangerous poison. “Total abstinence is always adviseable. Today it is imperative. Again, how can any person who claims to be loyal to the Constitution of the United States be a party to a conspiracy to break it down and to violate the laws enacted and enforced by it. Every purchaser of liquor is such a conspirator.”
