If any intoxicating liquor has been purchased fcby the purchaser within the four weeks he must set out how much and it is unlawful for the druggist to sell that person more than an amount that would total two quarts of alcohol within four weeks preceding the tdate of the e.

ADVERTISING It is made unlawful to solicit, take or receive orders for intoxicat ing liquors for beverage purposes. A fine of $100 to $500 is provided in case of conviction for advertising, either through any newspaper, or distributing price lists. The same penalty may be imposed upon any person if any such advertising or price list is allowed to be posted or remain on such premises. SUBTERFUGES "' , Any evasion or subterfuge what soever by which one shall give away or receive intoxicating liquor is deemed an unlawful selling within the terms of the act. CLUBS No club of any design whatever may keep liquor for any use. i AT DANCE HALLS ; A maximum fine of $200 or 100 days in jail is provided as a penalty for any person carrying to or hav ing in his possession any intoxicat ing liquor at a dance or ball, or any other public gathering. of spirituous or vinous liquors, or 24 quarts of malt liquors, for beverage purpones, within any period of four consecutive weeks. CARRIERS Every such person receiving such liquor from a railroader stage com pany must make affidavit setting forth the name of the carrier, the point of delivery, the amount and kind of liquor, the amount received within the four weeks last past altogether, that the affiant is 21 years of age and is not an habitual drunkard. The agent of the railroad or stage line is empowered to ad minister this oath. These affidavits, like those heretofore described, must be obtained from the county clerk, by the carrier must be consecutively numbered, so that a record of every affidavit sent out by the clerk may be accurately kept. These affidavits as well as those kept by the drug gists, must at all times be open to the inspection of any county, state or municipal officer, and must be filed with the county clerk within 10 days after the expiration of each calendar month. The agents of railroad, express and stage com panies are liable for prosecution if they fail to observe these require ments, but they are entitled to collect 5 cenU additional from the consigner of each package to defray the expense of this extra labor. Any person receiving liquor in violation of the above will be sub-, ject to a fine of $50 or 30 days in jail.

The penalty for the contempt described is from $100 to $500, or 330 days to a year in jail, if a jail sentence is imposed. The owners of property where such nuisances may be per mitted are equally guilty with the perpetrator of the nuisance. The liquors and parapheranalia may be destroyed at the order of the Court after a hearing as particularly set out in the law.

GOVERNOR The governor is empowered to ap point a prosecutor when the local prosecutor fails to do his duty. Any person may hire a special prosecu tor to assist . or , associate, himself with the district attorney, and no district attorney may dismiss a case once instituted without the consent of such associate counsel. . ! COURTS ; Generally, every court in the state, including recorders, justices of the peace, county,, district and circuit courts have jurisdeition of the violation of the prohibition act. It is made the duty of the circuit CRIMINAL PROCEDURE MODIFIED The prosecutor may take an ap peal in liquor violations. This is an exception that is not granted to the district attorney under any other criminal statute in force in this State. However, it is limited to lav violator shall be, sentenced to tsr years in the county jail at hard la bor and no circuit judge is permit ted to suspend the sentence. The conviction of any physician, surgeon or pharmacist the second time under the act automatically operates as a revocation of his license for a period of six months, and up on the third coviction the license shall he entirely annulled, in addi- and does not extend to the facts once j tion to the other penalties prescrib- the jury has passed on those. Another rule of criminal law at tempted to be set aside is the privi lege a witness has in refusing to answer questions that might tend ed. ; . '- . , V .

Also, the prosecutors may issue subpoenas and hold examinations, sitting as a grand jury, and then file his information with the justice of the peace, or place the testimony he has before the grand jury. PENALTIES IN GENERAL The penalty, generally for a vio lation of this law, that is, selling, giving away or manufacturing liquor is a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months, or both, such fine and.imprisonment for the first offence; a minimum of $100, or 30 days to one year in the county jail for the second offense; and upon the third conviction, the same, except in a private dwelling h .use, is prima facie evidence that said liquors are kept for Side i violation of tha law; also, the presence of a United States revenue stamp, certificate or license is prima facie evidence that the owner there of is violating the law, or is main taining a common nuisance withia the terms of the act. Delivery of liquor is prima facie evidence of a sale, the payment therefore not having to be proved.
