Near Beer Illegal
Say Swearingen

Tallahassee. Fla, July 2f.-Attor-
ney-General Van c. Swearingen has
submitted an opinion concerning the
legality OF sale or certain beverages
in dry territory which states that such
sale is in violation of the law il they
are offered as a substitute for beer,
The drinks referred TO are cereal bev
erages, several of which have been
placed on the market by brewers and
advertised extensively in dry territory.
In his opinion Mr.. Swearingen says:
THE conclusion is that whether or
not any of the beverages mentioned
are in fact used as substitute for
beer or near beer is a question of fact
that should be determined by the cir
cumstances involved in each case,
and that no general or blanket rule
can be laid down that would cover al!
instances of the kind in question. In
other words, it Is more a question OF
proof than law.
ut would seem that the state chem
lists analyses of all the beverages
mentioned would indicate that they
are prohibited by the statute as being
a substitute for beer. and it IS my
opinion that the sheriff would be jus
titled in instituting a prosecution if
in his judgment these beverages are
really being used as substitute for
beer"

Salvation LaSSieS
Brave Under Fire

New York, July 20--Women of the
Salvation Army, who had been work
ing in a hut located exactly up to
the firing line had narrow escape
when bomb tore through the wall OF
the hut. Although they were literally
driven out Of their place of shelter it
required an order from the American
general in command of troops nearby
to insure their removal from the place
where there was a CONTINUOUS rain of
shrapnel.
This information is contained in a
report received at the national head
quarters of the Salvation Army n
New York city by Commander Evan
geline Booth. The writer, Cadet Har-
/ old Miles, who is in Hra..ce on spec

direction OF Col. William Barker, says

COMMANDING OFFICER SAID
SHIP WAS TORPEDOEC

Washington, July 2i.LCaptain H. H.
Christy, commander of the armored
cruiser San Diego, sunk yesterday off
Long Island, reported to the navy de-
partment today his belief that the
ship was torpedoed, in spite of the
absence OF any positive evidence Of
the presence of an enemy submarine.
It is learned that the captains re-
port showed that the explosion could
not have been internal because there
was nothing in the ship at that place
to explode. The department also has
satisfactory evidence that the ship
could not have struck an American

Mrs. Ziegler Returns

Mrs. Albert Ziegler returned
the latter part of last week from
an extended trip to the north
west, which included a pleasant
visit with her daughter, Mrs.
Coplin, at Seattle, Wash. On
making arrangements to return,
Mrs. Coplin decided to accom-
pany her mother, consequently
with baby Leona May, she re-
turned home with Mrs. Ziegler
and will visit her old home for
an an indefinite period.
Mrs. Ziegler speaks highly Of
Seattle as a wonderful city, but
says of late that there has been
twenty thousand people added to
the population of the city, due
to the activity in the ship yards.
This increase in the population
Mrs. Zieler says, has so longest
ed the residence districts and
apartment houses, that living
instead of being a pleasure, is in
some cases a burden. People
coming into the city at the pres
ent time have the greatest diff
ficulty in securing accommod.
atoms, as landlords have become
so independent that they refuse
to rent to people with children.
