BILE for any householder to have his

made it for sale.
The amendment, adopted as a sub

Of liquor. 1t provides, however. that
no warrant shall be issued for search
Of a home unless there is reason to
believe that such dwelling is used as

made is being sold. federal officers

The Jill Shimpo. in an editorial ar
