signed to include within the scope Of that
measure the distilleries and fake social
clubs now operating ingevery section OF
the State.
When seen yesterday Judge Mann
pointed out the sweeping effect of the
amendments he proposes. The new bill
lie declares does not in any way affect
the sale Of pure apple cider, hut in or
der to prevent the sale of the spurious
article which tends to diminish the sale
of the pure article. and really to take
the place of alcoholic drinks. the follow
ing exception Is made In the act: "Ex-
cept pure apple cider without any adj
mixture whatever except personalities
not to exceed twenty grains to the gal
lon." The Judge said he had consulted
DIR. McGruder, who told him that twenty
grains OF personalities was sufficient
for gallon Of cider. The bill under

alton OF the Mann law" that is, It pro-
Yides that in all sections where the
