facts in the case, and how much al
cohol there really was in the malt ex-
tracts, and whether or not 1t was a
beverage. DR.. Burney gave written
statement as to the value of alcohol in
malt extracts submitted 10 him, and
from the tenor of bis letter did not
seem to think there was much in the
extract as a beverage. He made the
suggestion that the malt extracts we're
sold at about twenty-five cents a bot
tie, equal to about an ordinary size
bottle of beer, and that the price was
against the sale of the malt, as against
ordinary beer, except where the malt
was used for medical purposes, and
that as a general thing the malt was
drunk by women. These are really
the facts of the case. Some soda foun-
tains are selling the malt extract, and
in those cases, which are very rare,
the extract may be called a beverage,
but it would be hard matter to say
that person could get drunk from
malt extract. The chances are that
the drinker would get gorged of the
drink before the state of intoxicatlon
would be reached. The law simply
saws that it shall be unlawful to sell
any drink (which contains alcohol,
and is used as a beverage" The
whole question hinges on the bever-
age feature, and it does not appear
that any rumpus is being raised about
the matter. Those druggists who have
construed that the tonics are not al
coholic, as prohibited by law, are 60
ing right ahead selling the goods.

as a means of increasing the purchasing
power of their hard earned savings, and as
I am convinced that the low prices OF the

look back to the time when HI. G. STRAUSS
sold Standard A Brown Sheeting, worth 5
cents the world over, at 1-2! Of course
will not buy other goods to make them last
till June one; but the prices will hold good
only while the present stock lasts!
