WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

            “Any person who shall purchase, pay for, or by any devise whatsoever, procure any such liquors or drinks for or in behalf of any person other than himself, to be drunk as a beverage by such other person upon the premises or in any public place, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $5 nor more than $10 for each offense.”

            The above is the language of the new anti-treating law.  If enforced it is believed it will decrease the sale of beer in Milwaukee at least one third.  The probability is, however, that it will not be enforced and will be a dead letter upon the statute book.
