SALE OF CIDER IS STOPPED Nice Discrimination Needed to Tell Whether It Is a “Wet” or “Dry" Drink. Wooster, O.—“ Sweet” cider is barred in Wooster following a visit to the city representatives of the state-liquor license commission. The men sampled the offerings of lodal restaurants which have been selling cider at 5 cents a glass. Then they conferred with the city police authorities and the dealers were requested to discontinue the sale of cider to “avoid complications.” No charges were made that the cider had accumulated more than its allowance of alcohol, although it is said to be more in demand when a nice discrimination is required to tell whether -it is a wet or dry town drink.
