Martin, counsel for the League of Kansas Municipalities, told a con- vention of city officials yesterday that juries in legally dry Kansas no longer consider alcoholic beer an intoxicant.

Most juries, he said, have refused-to declare beer. intoxi- catirfg. Consequently, he said, beer “stands in a unique position, because a per- son can drink it and get the exhili- rating feeling of having consumed an intoxicating liquor prohibited by law, with the confidence that it is not in- toxicating as a matter of fact, so that there can be no successful prose- cution.” ADVERTISEMEN NEURITIS PAINS Try This 35¢ Test Sufferers agoniting pain, Store and get a 1t containg ne narcotics.
