Whether this ap- | parent “easing off” of the market is 1o continue, however, Beyer does not | hazard an opinion. Work Is Important. ‘The work of the chemical labora tories, a work that came into promi nence with prohibition, actually touc on the manufacture of all products containing alcohol, ranging from hand | Jotions to medicines for %nl[‘nml use. Not until the laboratory or one of its 19 branches approves formulas and samples of the finished product, may articles containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol be manufac- tured, and sometimes not even then. For example, a man planning to manufacture a hair tonic submits his {ormula and a sample to the laboratory. The formula must compare favorably with bona fide formulas for similar products; that is to say, it must be, in fact, a formula for ir “tonic. The sample is tested for aleoholic content and must contain ingredients sufficient 1o make it unfit for beverage purposes. ' If the formula and sample are ap- proved, the commissioner of prohibition is so advised and he, in turn, informs the prohibition administrator in the dis-. trict having jurisdiction over the appli- cant, ‘The administrator conducts his own investigation and if, in his judgment, the applicant is qualified to conduct a bona fide business, a permit then may be issued enabling the manufacturer to ‘withdraw alcohol to meet his require- ments. Before prohibition, the laboratory concerned itself chiefly with patent medicines to prevent sale for beverage purposes, Today the work is of con- siderable importance. The laboratory here passes on about 20,000 formulas and samples in a year, insuring that each conforms to the rigid requirement that it not be adaptable to use as a beverage; and in the case of solids, such as salves and creams, that the matter be made unfit for treatment to extract its alcoholic content.
