PORTO RICANS
TRY TO CHECK
USEOF TONICS
San Juan, June 30. Efforts are be
ing made by the Porto Hican au
thorities to check the use as beverages
of tonics, perfumes and lotions con
taining: alcohol. The Insular treasurer,
Jose C. Benedicto, and Dr. del Valle
Sarrago, of the health department, re
cently asked the house of representa
tives to enact legislation to prevent
the use of such concoctions as In
toxicating drinks.
Mr. Benedicto pointed out that it
was legally permlssable to use alco
hol for industrial purposes, under
certain regulations, so that any Indi
vidual could prepare a formula, have
tt approved by the treasury and health
lepartment and sell it freely through
ut the island. Theoretically, these
preparations were not for internal
consumption and were harmful to the
health, but in practice it had been
found that they were being drunk In
alarming quantities, he said. Their
sale could not very well be stopped
as they were permitted by law.
"Before prohibition went into force
here," said Mr. Benedicto, "the alco
hol used for industrial purposes in
Porto Rico amounted to between 7,000
nd 9,000 quarts a month, whereas
luring last March no less than -52,000
juarts were used and In April, 56,000
luarts."
There were two methods of dealing
with the question through the legisla
ture, said Mr. Benedicto. Either by
teizing all those preparations which
were being used as a drink, although
manufactured under Insular permits,
or by increasing the quarterly license
to manufacturers to $200 Instead of
the $25 now being proposed, which
would enable only the larger firms to
manufacture such preparations and
would take them out of the reach of
the general public
Dr. del Valle informed the house of
the measures which had already been
adopted, to prevent the use of such
tonics for drinking purposes. At first,
he said wood alcohol had been intro
duced into these preparations, but in
view of the terrible effects It pro
duced, this had been stopped, for they
would simply be leading those peo
ple who drank the preparations into
total blindness. The other chemclals
which had been introduced in order
to make the lotions nauseous to the
stomach, had not been very successful,
for means had been found by the peo-'
pie of filtering the liquids and other
wise getting rid of such ingredients.
It is declared that, although abso
lute prohibition has been enforced in
the Laland for a year, the police daily
are discovering stills for the distilla
tion of alcohol.

WHEN my doctor told me to give my

brought up on it?"
He smiled. "Rieht here in the United

keepine well and strong on Nestle's. All over the world it's the
same way and that will give you some idea of how many babies
have kept well on Nestle's Food during the past fifty years."
And yet it wasn't all those your baby has the food nearest

me. It was the pink cheeks of
my own baby.

out of pure milk, to which has
been added just the right amount
of cereal and of pure sugar.
