BY a recent decision of st. Louis
Judge beer saloons, or saloons selling
beverages not distilled, can keep
their places open on Sunday. This
decision is based on the ground that
the lately-enacted Sunday law does
not repeal the special act Of 1857,
which permits the sale of all bever-
ages other than distilled liquors any
day of the week. 1t is said the de-
