Alabama "Wets" Evade Law by Hid
ina Drinks In Bread.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 29. - Th'
sale and distribution of the whisk,
sandwich is the latest method Of evad
ing the liquor laws in the state o.
Alabama. Loaves of bread, cut ans
arranged like oyster sandwiches, ar,
sold over the counters in lunchroom,
presumably operated for that very pur
pose, bottle of whisky being clever
ly arranged between the layers of tn,
bread.
1t is said that questionable lunch
rooms have sprung up all over th,
state in which these contraband goods
constitute practically the total bill o
fare.
The discovery of the whisky sand
wich was made by the warden at the
Birmingham Jail, who took it into hii
head to examine an apparently limo
cent sandwich which was brought ts
the jail for one of the prisoners by
relative. Upon opening the loaf
bottle of whisky was disclosed. A
rigid investigation was then put or
foot, which resulted in the discovery
that the whisky sandwich is already
an important article of commerce In
Alabama.
