BOOZE LABELS

Federal. authorities in Ohio have seized truck
load OF liquor labels and bogus internal revenue
stamps made TO use on contraband booze. All Oh
the stuff had been ordered by bootieggerS' Inc
labels were facsimiles OF nearly all the best known
and most highly reputed brands OF whisky and gin.
In bottles bearing those labels, there was sold
almost anything from newly made prune whisky
to the rawest OF synthetic gin. This IS the most
sensational revelation yet made OF traffic that
is national in scope
The forging OF labels and government stamps
to use on liquor represented as bottled in bond
is serious enough in itself. No less serious is the
quality OF the stuff thus foised upon credulous
purchasers Chemical analysis has shown that
nearly all the liquor shown OF standard quality
and proper age is raw stuff containing large pro-
portion OF fusel oil, which is poisonous. In many
cases there is also wood alcohol more deadly
poison.
A medical man. after examining lot OF this
liquor declares that most OF the men drinking it
regularly will be dead within five years.

\O. s5.-Iiow Money Originated

The earliest tribes did not need
money because no individual in the
tribe owned anything personally. All
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person.
Later on, when tribes met. there
arose the custom of barter and trade
the simplest form of which was the
exchange OF articles possessed by one
tribe for those owned by another For
instance. some of the Australian tribes
had a rough green stone which was
valuable for making hatchets. Members
Of another tribe, seeing these green
stone hatchets, naturally wanted them.
They had no money. as we know it
today. but they had red ochre with
which they painted their bodies Thus
II developed that the tribe owning the
green stones wanted some red ochre
and each article became kind of
money-each became valuable for trad
ing purposes
Having developed the idea of money
thus far IL was soon seen thnt other
articles could he obtained in exchange
for green stones or red ochre and
they became crude kind Of money.

"unit Of value" before money became

OF the earliest forms Of this elastic
money was shells The skins OF
