OLD ENGINE AND OXEN
WIN PRIZE

Chesapeake City, North East and
Elkton firemen participated in the
parade in Wilmington, on Thursday
last, commemorating the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
founding Of the first fire company
in that city.
Elkton had three pieces of ap-
paratus in line,-their new modern
auto truck, their steamer, and the
old hand pumper. The old machine
won a prize as being the Oldest
piece of fire fighting apparatus In
line.
1t attracted much attention, being
drawn by a yoke of oxen. The
oxen themselves were a sight to
hundreds of those who saw the
parade, as once a very common
means for draft purposes, they are
scarcely ever to be seen in this day
and generation.
This is a particularly fine yoke Of
oxen, the property Of James H.
Evans, Of near Rising Sun. The
animals were taken to Wilmington
in the big motor truck of Dinsmore
Bros, of this town, and were driven
in the parade by Clarence Alexander,
of Rising Sun. In addition to at
tracing much attention and helping
the Elkton Fire Company to win
silver loving cup, they won place
on the pictorial page of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, Photographic
reproduction of the driver, oxen and
old engine appearing in the Friday
evening edition of that paper.

the prohibition officials said they paid
little attention to this, as they were
kept busy with their own work. Sec

few cases have been taken into court

activity falls under the food and

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. May 15.-Drug
stores in washington and those Of
many other cities are cutting into
the business Of the hip-pocket boot
logger by selling over the counter
thinly disguised wines and "tonics."
Some of these preparations, officers
Of the prohibition unit say, are ques-
tionable and an investigation Of
them is probable. If any are found
to violate the law, prosecutions will
follow.
A typical stock Of these prepare
tions for thirsty invalids Is found on
the shelves Of a drug store within
one block of the Treasury Depart
7nent and the White House.
One is malt tonic" which, ac-
cording to the carton, is based on
the old reliable formula of malt and
hops"
Also there ia "old--tonic," which
brings back fond memories to many
steady customers. 1t il "a truly
stimulative and blood building me-
d!cinal preparation containing nutri-
tive properties combined in rare
old wine of known tonic value" 1t
boasts of Is per cent alcohol and a
sixteen-ounc bottle costs, $3.50.
For Cooking Only
Then for the little wife who has
difficulty in cooking by the Volstead
act. the druggist has sherry wine
seasoning" 1t is made of THE
highest grade Of pure California
wine containing the usual amount
Of salt used in seasoning" 1t con-
tains 20 per cent alcohol. Lest any
ignorant person shohld mistake the
use to which this preparation is to
be put, the box plainly says For
Cooking Purposes"
Now there are some people who
just don't like the taste Of medicine.
Fer such there is to be had spe-
ing 20 per cent alcohol, which Is, so
the package says, "a Pleasant,
Strengthening, Appetizing, Recon-
structive and Wine-like Food Tonic"
Thus by going through the stock
of a dozen brands-all containing
about 20 per cent alcohol medi-
cinal bar decidedly reminiscent Of
the days Of yore can be organized
at reasonable cost.
The druggists say that consider
able quantities are sold to negroes
and poor customers. They find the
compounds as cheap-if not cheaper,
far more safe, and of greater
potency than the stuff peddled by
the drink in the alleys by hip-pocket
bootleggers. Some have a medicated
taste, but few are downright UNI
palatable.
Hard to Check
Prohibition unit officials said that
field agents were supposed to re-
port all such preparations to head
quarters for analysis, but that so
many new compounds were being
put out, that it was difficult to keep
UP this check.
Labels are changed frequently and
new trade names substituted. Some
preparations probably do not come
strictly within the law. Others are

entirely legal, but are sold under
misleading advertising so phrased as
to make the customer think he is
getting wine or whisky which has
not been indicated to any noticeable
extent.
Many of these preparations, one
prohibition official said. taste like
straight wine at first. but that when
taken In quantity would quickly pro-
duce nausea and are therefore
classed as non-potable preparations.
