HOME BREW CAN
HAVE THE KICK
NON-INTOXICA. (G FRUIT JUICE
NEED NOT MEAN HALF OF
ONE PER CENT—A NEW
NTERPRETATION
Prohibition enforcement officers
hiety ‘et up a little on home-made
drinks. They have virtually lifted
the ban on cider and other ‘‘non-in-
toxicating beverages” by declaring,
in effect, that the definition of one-
half of 1 per cent may be disregarded
if the stuff manufactured is used at
home.
A decision of the Bureau of Inter-
nal Revenue interprets the law relat-
ing to “cider and fruit juices” as fol-
lows:
“Any person, may without permit,
and without giving bond, manufac-
ture non-intoxicating cider and fruit
juices, and in so doing he may take
his apples or fruits to a custom mill
and have them made into cider and
fruit juices.
“After such mon-intoxicating ci-
der and fruit juices are made, they
must be used exclusively in the home,
and when so used, the phrase ‘“non-
intoxicating” means non-intoxicating
in fact and not necessarily less than
one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol, as
provided in section 1 of the said act.” |
The Kick Is There
In other words it is held that one
may buy fruit, have it made into
ciders and fruit juices, which he may
consume at home until they make
him “feel good.” A real kick is per-
mitted.
This relaxation on the part of the
enforcement officers is said to have
been inspired by Congressmen in
fear of the wrath of country people
who have been accustomed to going
as far as they liked in making
beverages from anything they pro-
duced on the farm.
Up to the time of National prohi-
bition these home drinks included
apple brandy, cider, blackberry and
grape wines and other softer things.

FIRE DESTROYS SEVERAL
BUILDINGS AT LOCUST GROVE
Fire late Saturday night destroyed
a brick barn and several outbuild-
ings on the farm of B. F. Hoffman,
at Locust Grove, entailing a damage
of approximately $10,000.
The blaze is believed to have
started from spontaneous combustion
in the engine of one of two automo-
biles parked in the wagon shed.
Both these machines valued at $1,700
were destroyed by the flames which
consumed thousands of dollars’
worth of farm implements, corn,
wagons, and other valuable contents.
Firemen from Elizabethtown, Co-
lumbia and Marietta succeeded in
saving live stock and a few buggies.
A hastily formed bucket brigade
protected the old stone residence,
which was scored by the heat.
The blaze was discovered by mem-
bers of the Hoffman family, in the
Maytown, and George Longenecker
Pottstown, guests of the family, had
parked their cars. The blaze quickly
consumed the shed, garage and barn
age and barn which stood close to-

Mrs. Roy Heisey, who with her
husband and two small children re-

boarder, Frank Cruizian, a Mexican,
has also disappeared. Mrs. Heisey is
only eighteen years old.
The deserted husband is working
on the theory that if they went away
together they went no further than
Lancaster, because Cruizian, after a
visit to the county seat several days
ago, told friends that he had rented
several nice rooms in that city and
would shortly move there.
Cruizian is employed by the P. R.
R. as a track hand. He was board-
ing at the camp at Landisville and
was working on the section between
Elizabethtown and Rheems and only a

Heisey family in order to be closer
