CONGRESS ALONE CAN
FIX ALCOHOL LIMIT
Net For Courts to Say What Shall Be
Intoxicating by
Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 1-Contendine
that no court may say, as matter of
law. what percentage OF alcohol IN liquor
makes it Intoxicating, the Judiciary com
mittee, in a report yesterday to the house
on prohibition enforcement legislation, de-
clared this was a question Of fact and not
law. and as such was clearly within the
province of congress
The committee held that the right ol
congress TO define Intoxicating liquor
as a beverage containing more than one
hall Of one per cent alcohol, was IN tull
accord Iwith its consttutonaP powers,
and that every state, in dealing with al
coholic liquors, bad named products OF
that percentage as Intoxicating and had
either prohibited use Of such liquors OF
subjected them to heavy tax.
TO efne what is Intoxicating does
not trespass on the province OF the court, :
SAID the majority report prepared by
Chairman Nolstead No court can say,
as a matter Of law, what percentage Of al
cohol in liquor makes it Intoxicating, nor
what toxic effect is intoyication. These
ore questions OF fact and nor law, and, as
such, are clearly within the province OF
congress. An equal quantity of the same
liquor may make one person dead drunk
and but slightly affect another
AS some contend, there may be per-
| sons who have become so tolerant OF
| alcohol that they cannot get drunk on
beer containing 224 per cent of alcohol hy
weight. which, by the way, contains only
| one-half of one per cent Of alcohol less
/ than the ordinary beer. But we are not

meat was intended to apply generally

ported out by the committee last Friday
was split into three parts, each separate
and distinct, with the wartime section

tee on the bin explained that the war

TASTE IN WATER
DUE TO SEAWEED
Vegetable Growth Known by Botanical
Name of Alga in Pleasant Valley
Reservoir-No Dead Animals.

The unpleasant taste which con
sumers of water from the Brattleboro
Water Works system have noticed re-
Gently is not due to the presence of any
unhealthful foreign substance in the
water as many have supposed, but is
due to a vegetable growth in the Pleas
ant Valley reservoir which is common
to an large bodies of water. This
growth is known by the botanical name
of algae, species of seaweed and it is
more abundant in hot weather than at
any other time. The taste also disap-
pears after time, III fact at the pres
ent time it is not nearly as noticeable
as it was few days ago. The presence
of algae in the Brattleboro Water
Works supply has been noted for sew
eral wears, but'the taste this year has
been more pronounced than usual. The
current report Of the finding Of dead
cow or horse in the reservoir is wholly
without foundation, so far as can be
determined BY an investigation by
Health Officer Henry Tucker, and it is
stated that had there been any dead
animal in the reservoir the taste of the
water on delivery in this village would
not be affected.

KAISER PAYS FIRST TAXES.

having levied the ordinary taxation aft

For the first three months Of this year
the sum levied amounts to 10000 gull

centS.) This sum, however, was merely
for local taxation. An income tax VIII

The former emperor was relieved
from payment for the first period of

three years in the country are liable for
