State who have been engaged to defend
the cases wherein the keepers of near

over the working Of the law. The laws

$500 annually on each near beer joint
where there is sold, kept for sale or
offered for sale, any drink that stimn-
Iates in appearance, odor, taste and
quality.
The lawyers want to know if it is

it is not really beer? Then the law cryp-
tically says, "the payment Of this IL
cense shall not validate the sale OF any
liquors which but for this act would be
