SO THE PUBLIC MAY.KN^W Washington, Dec. 27. ? The defini tion of the word ."whiskey" by tho highest American authority was given today when President Taft rendered the final decision 'on the subject in connection with tho construction of the pure food law with reference to' labelling. The President held that whiskey made of neutral spirits Is i whiskey wh?n ? reriurftd ? La ? pntahle strength. - The President covered other de ta'ls In his decision and gave direc tions for the proper "branding of among other things that "Canadian Club" whiskey and whiskey made from a jnixture of "straight" whis key an& "neutral -spirits" may ? be cnlled a blend. According to the In structions under this decision "ptralght whiskies'", will .hereafter be branded as such, but tfco brand may I*- accompanied by the legend "aged In wood" and whiskey made from rectified, distilled or neutral spirits will be branded ho an to make known -the principal Ingredients.

This article, the President say*, cannot be Reproves Wiley's Mistake. The president takes Dr. Wiley and other chemists to task for a "lunda mental^error" as to what the name whiskey has included during the past oue hundred years and he also ex presses the opinion that Mr." Bowers makes "too much a distinction" in his deductions. "If." ho said. speak ing of the opinion of Mr. Dflwers. "high wines at from 140 degrees to ItiQ degree* when reduced to potable ^airerrth. and ?onlatjjjpg..^L.vcrv small quantity of fiiFel otl ant* flavored by burnt Rugar are whiskey, as he has -found, then the mere Improvement in the process by continuous distilla tion so- as to give a product, of from 160 degrees to 188 degrees proof and Htill further to reduce its fusel oil. is not to change Its whole nature or to I "imitation whiskey," because of a Ightlv reduced trace of one ingredi ent. The distinction is too Imprac ticable, In "by Judgment for the exe cutlon ef- the Taw."-^ _ The President thinks th'at an order as his decision contemplates cannot do injustice. "Those" he sayx,, '^.who make whiskey of rectified, redistilled at neutral spirits cannot complain if. in order to prevent further frauds, they are required to use a brand which shall show exactly the kind <tf whiskey they are selling." J So Public May Koowv Speaking further in the same line .pg 3?.v? ; "The public will be made to know exactly the kind of whiskey they buy and drink. -JT they desire straight whiskey, then they can secure $Ctf y purchasing what Js branded "straight wfclskey." If they are willing to drink whiskey made of neutral spir its. then they <utn buy tt under a brand showing It. The act InJureR no roan's lawful business, because It only Insists upon the statement of the truth In the label." east mm - BULL LEAGUE : f - IS FORMED <? ? fr Dr. Whitaker Is Pres.
