“ After February 1, 1920, the po;e
sion of liquors by any person not l*
gaily permitted under this title to p »
sess liquor, shall bc; prima facie evi
dence that such liquor is kept for the
purpose of being sold, bartered, ex
changed, given away., tumished or
otherwise disposed of in violation ol
tile provisions of this title. Kvorv
prison legally permitted under this
title to have liquor shall report to the
commissioner within lb days after
the date when the ISth amendment to
the constitution of the United States
goes into effect, the kind and amount
of intoxicating liquor? in his poses

“But it shall not be unlawful \o
possess liquors in one’s private dwell
ing while the same is occupied and
used by him his dwelling only, and
such liquor need not bo reported, pro
vided such liquors are for use only for
the personal consumption of the
owner thereof and his family residing
in such dwelling and of his bona fid*'
guests w hen entertained by him
therein; and th»* burden of p»oof shall
h*' upon the possessor in any action
concerning the same to prove that
such liquor was lawfully acquired,
possessed and used.”
After the law goes into effect, no
person can manufacture, sell, barter,
transport, import, export, deliver, fur
nish or jH)ss«*ss any intoxicating li
quor except under the strict regula
tions proscribed. T/quor for non-bev
»rage and sacramental purposes can j
be handled, hut only under permit.!
Denatured alcohol can he manufac
tured. and so can mtxiical prepara- '
tions and toilet preparations and flav
oring extracts, hut they must be so
fixed that they will be unfit for use
jus a beverage. Vinegar and sweet
eider also can be made.
“Where liquor is used in the pre- •
pa ration of extracts, medicines an 1
the like, the manufacturer can pur- \
chase the same, but a permit is rc- ■
quired. In short, a permit is needed j
every time liquor is handled, John
Barleycorn being bound nand and foot
with red tape as tight as the Lilli-1
nutians tied Gulliver.
If the revenue department suspects
that the manufacturer is cheating a
little and is slipping too much 'll
cohol into the preparation an analysis
is to made, and if the manufac
turer is found guilty his license is re
voked.
Physician is Regulated
Liquor can be purchased without i
permit from a physician, as indicate*:, (

iums engaged in treating persons suf
fering from alcoholism can obtain
supplies under tulos to be formulated
by the commissioner of the internal
revenue.
Permits for manufacture are issued
foi one year; to purchase for the sake
«>f nt inul'acturing* or selling, 00 days,
while pi emits to purchase for other
purposes are limited to "0 days.
Hero is the system for having
liquor proscribed:
“No *>n«* but a physician holding a
permit to prescribe liquor shall issue
any prescription tor liquor. And tto
physician shall prescribe liquor un
loss after careful physical examina
tion of the person for whose use such
proscription is sought, or if such ex
amination is found impracticable then
upon the best information obtainable
lie in good faith believed that the us*'
of such liquor as a medicine by such
person is necessary and will afford
relief to him from some known ail
ment. Not mote than a pint
spirituous liquor to bo taken inter
nally shall he p t «cribed for use by
the same person within any period
| of ton days and no prescription shall j
be filled more than once. Any phar
macist filling a prescription shall at \
the time indorse upon it over his own j
signature the word 'cancelled,' to !
gi the*' with the date when the liquor ■
was delivered and then make the same j
a part of the record that he is required J
to keep as herein provided.
Record is Required
“Every physician who issues a
prescription for liquor shall keep
record, alphabetically arranged in a
book prescribed by the commissioner,
which shall show the date of issue,
amount prescribed, to whom issued,
the purpose 01 aliment lor which !t
is to be used, and directions lot us.*,
statin? the amount and frequency o'
the dose”.
The government will considerate!\
even furnish special prescription
blanks for the use of the physicians.
Of course, it will ho necessary to
ship liquor around the country, from
manufacturer to distributor, and the
law makes provisions for this. 1 ho
liquor can be shipped, hut it is to he
plainly marked, with the name ot the
shipper, the kind and amount of con
tents. Kvory earner must keep :<
•coord of these shipments bundled.
Among the thou-shalt -nots in the
law is a provision stating it is un
lawful to use or induce any carrie*-,
agent o»- employ.* of carrier to handle
liquor without notifying the carrier
of the true n8*"n* of the shipment.
