NEW THRILL AT CHICAGO; MILK WAR DECLARED Raids Are Made Similar to Liquor Drive —‘Pures’ Protected. Bv United Frets CHICAGO, April B.—Chicago, capital of crime and home of beer wars, today faced anew peril as the 1926 edition of bootlegging—• milk bootlegging—came Into existence. Armed guards, threats of violence, raids and other aocountrements of the bootlegging Industry were attached to the latest method of furnishing a city with unauthorized drinks. There has been already one or two scenes of near-vlolence. The new “bootlegging” Industry and violence threat came following an order from Dr. Herman A. Bundenson, city health commission, that no milk from untested herds would be distributed in Chicago. The order went into effect Thursday over the protest of some score or more dairymen in Illinois, Wisconsin and other nearby territories. Bundensen ordered some of hie men to make a raid after the fashion of prohibition officials. A dairy was visited and milk tossed into the gutter. That was the start of the bootleg war. Near Elgin, 111., there was a dash between the anti-pures and the pures. The result was about even. Throughout the dairying regions near the city there were warnings that any molestation of the untested milk supply would meet with gogd, hard fists and possibly other dangers. Then Leroy Davidson, chief of the State highway police, tossed his constabulary into the war. Davidson announced that armed guards would ride with the “pures” as they came to the city with the day’s supply of authorized milk. The entire staff of the highway police will be in combat array for any attempt of violence by the “antipures.”

TONIC GOES ON SALE, BUT IT’S NOT GOOD, NEWS It Tastes Like Medicine, Druggist Warns Cheaters. Bit United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis.. April 2 The newly legalized "malt tonic" with alcoholic content of 3.75 per cent, started on its course from brewery to consumer today—hut the public must wait for It to go through the customary marketing program of the wholesale dealers. It may he put on sale by Milwaukee retailers by Saturday. But if there are any “cheaters" In the public who hope to buy the malt tonic for consumption as a beverage they are doomed to disillusionment. according to Fred W. Dohman, vice president of one of Milwaukee’s largest drug firms. Its Taste The new tonic doesn’t .taste like beer and its cost Is high, Dohmen declared. He said the retail price would be 40 cents a bottle or $4,50 for a case of twelve bottles, each bottle containing twelve ounces. “I lpugh when I hear mention made of this tonic being used as a beverage." Dohmen said. “It can’t be done. It is nothing more than medicine, and after a taste or two ♦he consuming public will find that it is far from being beer, despite the fact so much fuss has been made about the stimulating contents." Special Ruling The new “tonic” Is offered for sale under a recent treasury department ruling, making It legal to manufacture and sell the malt drink for medicinal purposes only without the formality of a prescription. Under the ruling all advertising of the tonic must point only to its medicinal value. Milwaukee drug stores, hoping to start retailing of the tonic Saturday, or Monday at the latest, are making no special efforts to handle an ex tensive trade.
