Excise Board Abohshes Free Lunch,
But Cleaves to Prehels and Cheese

Hail to the ttme-honorsd pretsei and
the square hardtack cracker.
They rule absolutely over the free
lunch table and the sratuitous foodstuff
offerings of all the local hotels and sa-
looms by the latest 1edict Of the Excise
Board In effect yesterday.
With the passing of the substantial
free lunch. which was feature of many
scent potion Of hard LIQUOR.
In some of the poor sections Of tho
city, the scent drink Of whisky has
been common and popular order In
many OF the saloons. Patrons seeking
such liquor measure quantity and price
rather than quality. The dealers af-
fected by the prescribed order Of 10
cents as a standard price for red liquor
were inclined to resent the latest regu-
lation of the Excise Board as exceeding
authority and an invasion of their rights
to sell their wares at whatever figure
gives them q pront, % long as they ad-
here to the rules and regulations Of their
license. None Of them, however, will
contest the decision of the board, but
will adjust their business to the new
regulations.
The abolition of free lunch hit some
Of the liquor dealers hard. They have
been accustomed to dispensing a ham or
roast-beef sandwich, q plate Of soup,
or some other foundation for real meal
at certain hours OF the day. It has acted
as stimulant to business. Henceforth
