SALE OF REAL BEER 1S NOW AUTHORIZED Doctors May Prescribe 24 Bottles Olten as Necessary Washington, D. C. Oct. 24.—Real beer as a medicine received the offi- clal sedl of approval last night from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Mr. Mellon affixed his signature to regula- tions authorizing brewers to make and sell beer with a kick for medicinal uses. Consumers can buy only of re- tail druggists holding permits to sell alcoholic liquors. Physicians are authorized to pre- scribe two and a -hailf gallons or the cquivalent of one case of twenty-four bottles to a patient on a single pre- scription. No limitation is placely upon the frequency of prescriptions that may be issued, or the dates of issue. Physicians Have Say. The regulations signed by Mr. Mel- lon and drawn under the direction of Caommissioner of Internal Revenue David H. Blair leave to physicians the widest latitude in deterining the malt liquor needs of their patients. The rules governing the manufac- ture, sale and distribution of malt liquors also ingluded provisions for the sale by retail druggists of wine for medicinal purposes. Physicians may prescribe two quarts of wine on a single prescription, but are not lim- ited in the frequency of prescriptions issued. As in the case of medicinal beer they are to be allowed discre- tion in deciding quantities necessary for treatment of any given ailment. Explaining the attitude of the treasury department, which has been hedged about with uncertainty for months, Mr. Mellon issued a state- ment® Official Statemént. “The issuance of the Qeer regula- tions was delayed originally because it seemed probable that legislation would be enacted whereby the action of the department would be of no practical advantage to those inter- ested; and this view appeared to be acquiesced in by them since there was at that time no urgent demand for the issuance of the ' regulations. “However, for some time past it has been strongly urged by those in- terested that this department had no right longer to withhold the regula- tions and that in so doing the de- partment is denying to those inter- ested their clear legal right and there- by imposing serious loss upon them. ‘“The legal rights of the partles be- ing plain, the department is unable longer to delay the issuance of these regulations.” Other Drinks Also. Besides beer sales .legal ‘ approval also is given to the sale of ale, por- ter. malt extracts and other fermented malt liquors containing more than one-half of one per cent. Many brewers of the National As- sociation of Brewers through counsel have informed the internal revenue bureau that they are ready to Oper- |- ate on a large scale to fill demands! from the public for medicinal beey A gauge on the public's need ! been obtained from retail druggists Druggists have been swamped with requests or inquiries concerning me- dicinal beer since first the ~ depart- ment of justice held that such sales are clearly legal under the Volstead law. Since thLe breweries will not have to change their methods of manufacture they aro able to put out)a large vol- ume of real beer within a short pe- riod. Some of their records and other business procedure must be modified to conform to the terms of the regulations. One of the require- ments is the forwarding to directors once cach month of a complete rec- ord of their manufacture and sale of medicinal beer. Breweries to Get Busy. Within a few days the legal ma- chinery will have been adjusted so that brewers can fill orders from the druzgists trade. Brewerles operating under permits to manufacture so- called near bear, which is made by the old time beer process, but is re- duced in alcoholic content, will be re- quired to fit up separater bottling rooms in their plants for the real beer. Beer or other malt liquors can be bottled only by brewers in case lots and the case must be ‘“closed” or scaled and on the outside must bear a vnifoxm Jabel.
