EVADING THE LAW

There has been great deal Of agitation
among the temperance societies of the
country against alcoholic patent medicines.
1t was announced this morning at the in
ternal revenue office that there is no spe-
cial tax demanded by revenue laws for
the sale of alcoholic compounds under a
label announcing them as remedies for
specific diseases. However, if5Nthey are
sold as. beverage, special liquor tax
is required. IL 1t Is understood by the col
lectors of internal revenue that certain
medicines having large alcoholic percen-
tage are being sold In the dry towns
Of Minnesota as a thirst cure This is
hard to prove, but every effort will be
made to convict the offenders
