Fight Against Sample Bottles.
The Iowa Anti-Saloon league has deter
mined to start prosecutions against the
liuuor interests who have been giving out
sample bottles of whisky in little bottles
shaped like an infants nursing bottle. The
league made an investigation and discovered
that the bottles were in the hands of
large number of little children. The bottles
are labeled "Teddy's Pet" Sweet Good
Night" and other appropriate labels for
such a bottle, and the league claims that
the bottles were not designed as advertise
ments for brands of whisky, but were pur-
posely designed to be circulated among
school children and others, with the inten-
ton of creating a taste for liquor. In
vestigations are now being conducted with
view to ascertaining who gave out the
samples large number of them appeared
