WHEN IS CIDER BOOZE?

Melbourne, March 5.-When is c.der booze? That is the question paced before the authorities of izard county when good citizens Of Biggers began to have blind staggers after imbibing in cidvr dispensed by general merchants who voted for prohibition. The harder the cider got the harder 1t was to supply the growing de- mand. Finally an officer decided 1t was up to him tomake an Or- flclai test. Not having any e. aborate chemical apparatus to determine the proportion of al cohol he tested it in the old re- liable way. Six drinks enabled him to see pink elephants with green ears and eight doubled the number of animals By thi1 he judged that there was al slight percentage of alcohol in the cider above the legal proportion. But the prosecuting attorney having sworn off didn't care to make any tests so the dealers were merely warned to quit selling the near booze and all were released from charges.
