Two reasons are assigned for the

sidious cocktail with which Vermont
Ira- heretofore had littlo to do. and
fe o'her is the fart that the strength
thp whiskv sold over the bars has

For half a century Vermonters have
len drinking whisky adulterated with
crude alcohol and spiced with ra.d pep
per They hate also used aiconoi
and water knqwn as "Old King" for
a b6verago Both these "kicked" and

Ithe more they "kicked" tlie better

the stuff now sold Is not above par.
