TIPSTERS TRY TO

THIRSTY TIPPlERS

CHICAGO, April l2-Already the
tippler is ,apcring off-but he don't
know it. The amber fluid with lots
OF suds that comes sliding acros, the
mahogany for two tits looks like beer
and lasts like beer, but maybe It
isn't. 1t is near beer. The consider
ate bartender doesn't want the shock
TO be too great after July !, so he
is educating the trade" And the
man with a thirst may slide out OF
the wet into the dry without ever
knowing the difference.
The cold facts are that real beer is
getting scarce. Beverage brewed
prior to December is becoming ex-
haus,ed and it is being replaced with
near beer, containing only one-hali
OF one percent alcohol,
There probably will be marked
shortage of beer by May l." said
William G.. legner, presiden, Of the
Chicago Brewers association. "By
June believe all the beer will b,
gone"
