BUSINESS OF
MAKING STILL
IS YET LEGAL
Rut the Manufacturer Must Con.
ply with the Regulations OF
the Statute.

A still is generally regarded In
these strenuous days Of bone dry
prohibition and cobwebby threats,
as q piece Of machinery outlawed
along with the product 1t il cabs-
BILE Of producing. still. . stu can
be manufactured to distill. But,
nevertheless, the federal govern
ment has laid down certain 70.
strictions regulating the pfoduc.
ton and disposal Of stills, and
these must, be carefully observed
by him whS would avoid conflict
with the prohibition ofllcers.
General Deputy T. ]. CGvanauSh
of the United States internal rev.
enue ONCE Is In receipt Of iustruc-
lions from the ONCE Of the COM
missioner Of internal revenue at
Washington, D. c., setting forth the
conditions governing the manufac-
ture or sale Of stills.
Under the section Of the statute
pertaining to this matter, any per-
son who manufactures any still,
boiler or other vessel to be used
for the purpose of distilling shall.
before removal from the place OF
manufacture, notify in writing the
collector Of the district In which
such sill or boiler or other vessel
is to be used or set up, by whom
1t is to be used, its capacity. and
the time when the same is to be
removed from the place Of manu-
facture. The section in question
also provides that no such still,
boiler or other vessel shall be set
I'D without q permit In writing
from the collector for that puf-
pose.
Fine for Failure.
Failure to give the notice OF IN.
tention to remove and obtain the
permit to set up still is punish.
able in the sum of $500. and the
apparatus Is forfeitahle to the gov.
eminent. This applies to any and
all stills Of whatever size or Ca
pacity.
A section of the revised statutea
requires manufacturer Of stills to
pay $50 for engaging in the bust.

still or worm made by them fol
the distilling purposes. This sec.
ton also provides that any person
who manufactures any still OF
worm to be used for distillinE shall
be deemed a manufacturer OF stills
But, don't get excited. Just be.
