Ington In r'i1y to questions submitted

One of Miein relate to the snle of
alcohol compounds nnd it Is held that
any one offering these for sole in pro
hibition Putrlcts will he liable to a

Tin. other refers to the special tux
liability on manufacturer of malt
llininr and drugs and declares that It
is for the ivanufncturers to provo that
such llqiio-s or drugs come within the
clause, excepting certain iiiouiciuui
llouors or drugs. The letters follow;
"Your lel.er of the 3d lust, has been
received, Inquiring as to the bearing
of the ruling concerning nlcohollc
compounds labeled and sold as medi
cines. In (.rcular No. C73, herewith
inclosed, upon such preparations na

namon, etc , and containing, as you
tate, 'from 25 per cent to bO per cent
alcohoi.e strength.'
"Tho rull'ig does not apply to toilet
irvtlcles. whatever the quantity or ni
cohol contained therein may be; nor
does it apply to the various essences
or extracts to which you refer, 11
these preparations, are such as aro
known to t lie legitimate grocery or
drills trade as household articles for
cullnnry and other uses, and not as
beverages.
"Where, however, alcoholic coin
poumls called 'essences of lemon,
vanlla, cinnamon etc., or socaiiu.
tinctures or essence of ginger, con
tain, as you state, a mere trlllle of
medicament, tho main constituent Uo
lng alcohol,' and theip p'cpuraliuns,
which you runner tay tro 'usually

in prohibition districts; arc founti
by the local Internal revenue olllcers
or agents to bo generally sold or used
as beverages, every merchant thus
felling them without holding tho re
quisite special tax stump ns n liquor

laws will bo liable to criminal prose
cution in addition 10 the assessment
against him of special tax nnd pen

so-called essences nnd extracts, who
are shown by the facts elicited to
have made tneso alcoholic compmlnas
for sale m prohibition districts, will
bp held liable to speclnl tnx and pen

"Your Ir'ter of the 3d, Inst., has
been received, Inquiring as to i..e
special tax liability, II any, on manu
facturers of malt extracts composed
of fermented, malt liquor and drugs,
biich as 'hrp tonic, and similar com
pounds, In view of tho ruling In Clrcu
lnr No. C73. concerning alcoholic com
imiinds labeled ns medicines nnd hold
out to th public ns remedies for
diseases.
"Although that ruling hns special
reference to compounds composed of
distilled spirits and drugs or other
medical substances, yet In spirit and
meaning 1' may also be extended to
lucludo other nlcohollc liquors; and
as fermented malt liquor, of which
every malt extract Is largely compos-
oil, i an nlcohiTllc liquor, It Is for the
manufacturers of every such malt ox-
tract to show that It comes within
that clauso of this circular. In which
It Is stnUJ that 'where substances
undoubtedly medlclnnl in tholr char
acter are combined with nlcohollc
liquor nnd cro used in sufficient quan-
1 it y to gUv a medlclnnl quality to tho
liquor other than that which it may
Inherently possess, such compound Is
of course, not to bo Included in tins
