FRUIT JUICES AND
CIDERS RULED IN
DRY BAN RADIUS
Interpretation of Law Set Forth
By Prohibition Commissioner
In Memorandum Issued.

Washington, Jan. 14.-In one OF
the broadcast constructions yet placed
on provisions of the act for enforce
ment of constitutional prohibition,
Prohibition Commissioner Kremer
has ruled that fruit juices and elders
come within the dry ban il they con-
tain more than one-half of one per
cent alcohol. The commissioner
Interpretation of the law was set
forth in a memorandum charging
prohibition directors and inspectors
with the added duty of examining
the alcoholic content of such bev-
erages.
The drastic regulation goes into
effect with constitutional prohibition
January 10. Violation of it carries
the same penalty as for the manu-
facture or sale of stronger liquors.
Officials, in discussing the ruling,
asserted that such step could not
be taken under wartime prohibition
nor was it enforceable under the
prohibition laws of most Of the
states. Hitherto, the bureau of in
ternal revenue has held fast to the
policy of assessing taxes against fer
mented liquors containing more than
one-half of one per cent alcohol, but
actually, the regulation could not be
applied to elders and fruit juices be-
cause of the technical language of
the law, it was said. Strict enforce
ment of the regulation will hold liza
bic dealers in fruit juices and elders
in which the alcoholic content in
creases even while in storage. The
department does not intend, how

Proves Itself Master of This Painful
Disease.

\
Hallway treatment of Rheumatism
will never rid you of it. Better re-
alize from the outset that when
Rheumatism attacks, you have "a real
battle on your hands, and that its a
mans job to get rid of it.
Temporizing with Rheumatism
BY the use of lininlents, lotions and
other external methods Of treatment
is like trying to coax an enemy to
let up in his attacks and permit you
10 conquer him without resistance.
But you soon learn that Rheuma-
tism will not treat you with this con-
sideration. The tiny little germs
flock together by the millions and
center their attack with undivided
force. The effects of the disease are
gradual in taking hold on the sys-
tenn. In fact, the pains are only
slight at first and do not attract your
serious attention, but they gradually
increase in severity until your entire
system is firmly within the grip of
the disease. 1t is then that you
have real fight on your hands, for
You will find that Rheumatism is a
! foe that knows just how to cripple
You. The pains that were hardly
noticeable at first become your con-
SAINT companions. and seem to take

WEATHER MAN PREDICTS SNOW
 AND WARMER
Southwest Wind Ties Up Shipping On the
 Sound

Indications today from weather bureaus in the East were that Bridge port and the vicinity although facing possible snow would in all probability experience some warmer weather, the predicted snow probably turning to rain before many hours.
 Snow and warmer given out by the New York weather bureau does not agree in entirety with reports from other stations where it is stated that snow Is problematical but the '.yvarmer'' part virtually certain.
 The southwest wind of today has ted up most of the shipping on the S1nnd. There are several tOws con sis.ing of about 20 barges at Perth Nmboy and Newtown Creek waiting for favorable weather.
 The tug James McWil1ians has brought her tow into City Island and t7e southwest wind has driven the ice in on them and unless there is a thaw they will be held in the ice for some time.
 The tugS Charles McWilliams ana George 1TcCaffery are in the harhol with loaded barges bound east but are afraid to ventNSe out until the wint changes as all the ice in the Sound is being driven on the Connection shore and the captains of the tugs ar: afraid that the drift would force tbeil tows on the shore

Paris, Feb. 7.---Joseph Caillaux, former premier of France, was placed on trial today before the senate, sit ting as a high court, charged with conspiracy against his country in time of war.

 The senate is expected to sit as the high court for only three days eacE week, the other days being employed in the discharge of routine business i The trial, therefore, is expected to las 1 between two or three months.

GETS DIVORCE
 AS HUSBAND WAS BICAMIST Reed Married Again Two Years After First Venture.

On the ground that her husband was a bigamist, May Reed of Nor walk was granted a, divorce from Randolph Reed of this city by Judge Banks in the Superior court this morning. The plaintiff said she mar ried Reed in 1913 but they did not get along very well together. He did not drink but was just lazy" the wife said.

 The aunt appeared in court today and testified that she heard Reed al- ready had a wife when he married her niece. She made 8 complaint to the Norwalk police department and Reed was arrested on a bigamy charge. He was convicted and his marriage to Edith Messer was de clared void.
 May Reed said that during the short time she lived with Reed he did nothing to support her. He finally deserted her and then, posing as 6 single man, married Edith Messer.
