Caffey and Acting Collector of Inter- nal Revenue R, J. McElligott from interfering with the manufacture of beer containing not more than 2.75 per cent. of alcohol, JUSTICE MAYER’S DECISION QUOTES WILSON. After he had ascertained that Mr. Root and Mr, Guthrie would join with the Government in hastening a re- view by the Court of Appea's, Judge Mayer in his decision said: “Judge Hand has held that under “tye law beers containing not more than per cent, alcohol do not come within the ban of the statute. Under its war powers the Legislature saw fit at a timo when there was great national peril to protect the country, Tho President, when con- fronted with a vital issue, in the ex ercise of his proper authority, saw fit) to exclude 2.75 beer from the ban by his first proclamation on the subject. the as pap Children and 4 own-ups love the delicious wheat and bar- ley food — GrapeNuts It builds body and brain jhuman stomach will ordinarily hold, jwil Produce a condition khown as in- |tuxication or drunkenness.
