shall include spirituous or intoxicat-
ing liquor, malt liquors, lager beer.

any beverage which contains more
than one per cent. OF alcohol by vol
ume at GO degrees Fahrenheit
See. 2. No person shall furnish or
sell, or expose or keep with intent to
sell, any intoxicating liquor But this
act shall not apply to the furnishing
of such liquor by person in his pri-
vate dwelling, unless to an habitual
drnukard, or unless such dwelling be-
comes a place of public resort; nor to
the sale of fermented cider by the bar
rel or cask of not less than thirty
two liquid gallons capacity, provided
the same be delivered and removed
from the vendors premises in such
barrel or cask at the time of such sale,
The other sections of the law relate to
enforcement, fines, the serving of war
rants and making arrests. These sections
are copied from the present law.
Voters, read this law carefully. Indi-
vidual rights remain the same as at
present. Whatever is lawful TO do now
in mo" town will be lawful if the
state adopts prohibition. Remember,
there are only seven of the 232 towns
that voted out the saloon that have the
druggists license. The remaining 225
towns are getting along without this
license in fine manner
In one country village which has
druggists license, los prescriptions were

and nearly all were to men in the village
