Of the territory covered by the famous

TO be done at the expiration of the time
limit.
Just how far-reaching this new or
der is to be has not been disclosed.
Heretofore all elders. extracts. bitters,
ETC., containing certain percentage of
alcohol have been barred, and these are
still on the forbidden list Whether or
not the new order Is to include all
liquids made from malt brew, ire
spective of the alcoholic contents, is
not known; nor is It known as to
whether or not any of the breweries
will make a test case Of the matter to
determine If their products can be ex-|
cIuded from the treaty territory.
1t is rumored around the city that
certain breweries have been putting
more kick into their product than
Uncle Sans specifications called for,
hence the cleanup. AS to how much
the rumor has we are un-
able to say.
