"Near Beer" Is Beer.-That at least
IS pool rooms and small stores in the
city are suspected of handling soft
drinks, ordinarily known as near
beer" containing a percentage of al
cohol that comes dangerously near
placing such drinks in the class of
intoxicating liquor, is the information
made public yesterday by Commission
er Eastman. Chemical tests have been
made by a competent authority of the
liquid dispensed at these places, es-
pecially of the variety of drink known
as Waukesha Extra Pale" and the
test reveals the fact that this drink
comes as near TO being the genuine ar
ticle of beer as it is possible TO get and
still keep its name. In fact it was
shown TO possess 4.81 per cent of al
cohol, or an amount fully as great as
is found in most of the varieties of
beer sold in the saloons. A year ago
similar test was made of the Wauke-
sha drink and a little less than one
per cent of alcohol was noted, but
evidently the per centage has since
been increased, hence the necessity
for action which the city authorities
are taking.
