TO REGULATE THE SALE OF JAMAICA GINGER Hartford, Dec. 31.—State Pure r‘nnd' Commissioney Thomas THolt is con- sidering the advisability of formulat- ing rules for the regulation of the sale of Jamaica ginger. His attention ! was direeted to what he considered the necessity of taking-action in the matter by the receipt of a letter from a manufacturer of Jamaica ginger, accompanied by a copy of a label for -{the approval of the commissioner. The label contained-a formula for a liquid which contained 80 per cent. of alcohol. The commissioner con- sulted with the state department of health and was informed that 80 per cent, was not an excessive proportion | ang that even 93 per cent. of alco- hol would not be considered too much. The manufacturer in his letter said that it was his intention to have a large number of the labels printed. Commissioner Holt in replv advised him not to have so many labels print- ed as he might not need them if he (the commissioner) decided on regu- lations which might he adopted. Commissioner Holt said today that if it was made clear to him that the federal prohibition law was evaded by the ingredients which go into Ja- MANY AWARDS 3Y KING GEORGE FOR WAR SERVICE London, : Dee. 31.—The New Year's @ay honor list, made public tonight, costains many awards by the king, for war services.
