In Cleveland, Ohio, where the coroner kept accu- rate records, there were 62 deaths during the first seven months of the year. In Denver there were 26 deaths during the year. The great increase in the number of deaths has resulted in agitation for the prosecution on murder charges of bootleggers who gell liquor that kills. In Nashville, Tenn,, recently man and a woman were arrested following the death of a nineteen year old student who was poisoned by moonshine liquor. Two men were arrested in Shelby, Ohio, on the same charge! after moonshine liquor had killed one|. man and made fourteen others des- perately ill during a Christmas party. Drink or Two Has Killed The information gathered by the prohibition service shows that the poi- son in the liquor varies greatly. Some | of the victims have died after taking only a drink or two, while others have been affected only after consum- ing large quantities. This has hmn; due to the uncertainty of the distilla- | tion. In some instances the beverage | has been very deadly, while in others| poison has been present only in small | quantities. A movement is on foot to have the | United States Public Health service conduct a study of the public health| as it has been affected by prohibition. Officials of the service are not sure, | however, the law has been in effect | long enough to establish any reliable figures. Such investigations require a mass of data and this is not yet avail- able.

Thelr experiments convinced the sclentists, Professor E. C. Baly and Professor Hellbren, that not only is it pobsible to produce formaldhyde from soda water by the action of very short wave length light,"but that it is alse possible to produce formaldehyde with ordinary sunlight in the pres- ence of malachite green, or other ap- propriate coloring matter, z Carrying thelr Investigation a lit- tle farther they succeeded, by acting. vpon soda water with ultra-violet rays, in bullding up sugar. They found that formaldehyde turns di- rectly into sugar. The yleld of su- gar may be increased by heightening the concentration of carbon dloxide with sodium carbonate.
