CUT OUT FREE LUNCH
New UIm Thirst ParIor Owners Make
New Ruling,

New Ulm, May 1S.-AceOrding- to
agreement. proprietors OF New Ulm
thirst parlors put the lid on free lunch
on Tuesday, May Is, 1917. This day
will go down in the history of local
saloons as an innovation. Hereafter
those, who. desire to. enjoy lunch
with their glass OF. the amber fluid will
have to dig bit farther into their
pocket books and pay for the privilege.
Many of the thirst parlor owners state
that the free lunch privilege has been
abused in the past and that fiye-cent
glass of beer many times washed down
two and three times its value in lunch.
The high price of meat, bread, .saus-
age, cheese and other lunch neces-
stiles caused the innovation in this
city: The! saloonkeepers say it was. a
losing game. 1t was decided to abandon
the custom on the fifteenth of the
present month.
No more, six-for- quarter beer, and
hreeefor-a-q quarter whiskey. Straight
is the word in the future. This rule
also went into effect Tuesday. Good
whiskey is fifteen, cents per drink.
When the war tax is placed on in
toxicants there will no doubt be an
other raise.
