BEER NOT A FOOD.
A West Bam Magistrate decided that beer was not a food when-some publichouse employeesl came before him charged with imposing a condition in connection with the sale of an article of food. The. caSB was that h"ail> a pint of sevenpenny beer,was asked for, and the customer was told he could-not have it unless he also had' a, pint of fourpenny ale. The Magisetrate said that he might differ from some, temperate advocates, in thinking there was 1 a food * value if . beer was taken moderately, but that was not sufficient to justify him in saying that it was an article of food such as was in the minds of those who framed'the Regulation. By Order-in-Cotmcil, tea has- been definitely declared a food.
