Sess. 1915, p. 77), it is unlawful to possess any "liquors, . . beverages, or drinks made in imitation of or intended as a substitute for beer, ale, wine, or whisky, or other alcoholic or spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors, including those liquors and beverages commonly known and called near-beer," whether such liquors and beverages are or are not intoxicating.
