U. S. ARMY RULES ON BOOZE
Any Beverage Containing Ia Per Cent
Alcohol Held TO Be intoxicating.

Washington, d. Csc far as the
army is concerned, any beverage con
tanning IA per cent of alcohol will be
considered Intoxicating" This deci-
sion of the Judge advocate general
was approved by Secretary Baker.
The official ruling was made in an
swer to requests from camp and or
ganlzation commanders for an inter
probation of section - of the selective
service act governing the prohibition
of alcoholic liquors in or near mill
tary camps.
The decision that IA per cent of
alcohol would be considered the dead
line by the military authorities is I'M
derstood to have been based on an
opinion of the army medical experts
that this would intoxicate the average
healthy soldier if sufficient quantity
Of the beverage were imbibed.

People are learning that it is only
a waste of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about
ninety-nine out of hundred cases
are one or the other of three varie-

to afford relief is to apply Cham

It costs but 35 cents per bottle.
