UNCLE SAM OPENS WAR
ON DRUG STORE BOOZE
Special Tax Put on 246 Preparations
Found to Contain Too Much
Alcohol.

The United States government yester-
day began a crusade against alcoholic
medical preparations which are used as
booze in dry territory.
A list of sis such preparations was fur
nished to collectors of internal revenue.
These were examined and held to be In
sufficiently medicated to render them un-
fit for use as a beverage"
The revenue officials found that the
medical properties of the preparations
were so nearly nil that they could be
consumed as readily in a wine or whiskey
glass as by the spoonful All collectors
were advised that a special tax will be
required for the sale of any of the prepa-
ra;ions named in the list, even though
such sales were for medical use.
