"OFFICIAL" GROWLER.
Glass Jar with Wire Sealing Con-
trivance May he Used.

What is an Official growier?"
According to decision of the District
Excise Board. made yesterday. glass
jar, with a wire cOntrivance which ef-
fectually seals the top of the retainer
comes within the meaning of the new
regulation prohibiting rushing the can. -
The jar may be of a quart or half gal
Ion. or even of larger capacity. and may
be used II filled in the place where the
beer is sold. The rule laid down by the
board. however. is that the growler,
while being conveyed from the saloon To
the place where the beer is consumed.
must be covered with paper or incased
in a paper bag.
Fruit jars, with tops that screw on.
will not be considered as coming within
the regulation. One advantage of the
official growler is that it is difficult to
drink from it without spilling most of
the contents on the consumers clothes,
and this deficiency, the board thinks
will do away with drinking on the
streets and in public places.
