RUSSIA SETTLES LIQUOR PROB
LEM.
Human cataclysms such as recently
occurred In Russia and by means of
which practically all new govern
ments are created, often result in the
human mind conceiving new ideas re
specting things which have previously
been considered as bound and settled
by the most logical laws or expedi
ents.
In a sense such upheavals tend to
clarify the sight to make men see
clearly where before they had had no
more than a blurred half vision. That
ts why we may confidently expect
from the new government of Russia
much that Is far sighted in the line
of government methods and regula
tions.
For instance note the Instant good
sense displayed by the budding demo
cracy In Us disposal of the liquor
problem—a problem, by the way that
was a deal of a way from being ef
fectually disposed of by the late gov
ernment in Bplte of the sternly prohib
itory ukase of the czar banishing
liquor from the Moscovitc realms.
Hardly had the people taken over
the government before they proceed
ed to promulgate liquor regulations
that are based upon the soundest
reasoning and that are right worthy of
emulation in lands that have been
more or less accustomed to look upon
Russia as the ultimate of backward
ness and barbarism.
The old aristocracy had made a vast
amount of money out of the manufac
taure of strong liquors, and, doubtless,
under normal condtions would have
continued to do so, not alone because
the manufacture and sale of liquor
provided a great revenue but also be
cause use of strong and habti forming
liquors tended to keep the masses in
a condition of besotted serfdom which
prevented them from seeing things as
tiny were and TeaJJzlng the utter
abjectness of the misery In which they
were bound and held by the ruling
powers. Such a condition, needless to
say is eminently desirable where the
principal object of the government Is
to grind the last possible cent of rev
enue from the struggling masses.
But, facing the stress of war, it
realised that sober, clear minded sol
diers were more effective than drink
dulled and enfeebled ones and pro
ceeded to do away with this manufac
ture.
The action was eminently success
ful In so far as It produced clear
headed soldiers but graft and dishon
esty made the ukases of autocracy of
tittle effect outside of the army. In
spite of Imperial promulgations strong
drink was still & curse In Russia.
Well authenticated stories dealing
with the Internal life of Russia dur
ing the period between the war dec
laration and the overthrow of the im
perial government disclose that Inso
briety and dissoluteness were every
where prevalent and the the czar's
government was totally unable to
suppress the Illicit trade In strong
and habit forming liquor. But, with
the dawn of the new era, the demo
cratic government took the matter In
■ hand with htgh resolve and strong
determination to cure the evil if possi
ble. It passed no drastic prohibitory
laws, made no attempt to accomplish
the Impossible by seeking to drive
liquor completely out of the country.
Instead It prohibited the distilling
of strong drink and has since sh
1 moved that the people know that the
1 edict will be enforced. It then al
1 lowed the manufacture of weak beer
under government regulation and con
trol and permitted it to be consumed
under close regulations.
It also allowed the manufacture of
pure wines from the grape. Wines
for export may be sold up to any
strength but when the wine is to be
consumed in Russia the alcoholic
content may not lie above twelve per
cent.
Thus the people are at present al
lowed to drink moderately and with
the quantity of alcohol which may be
cousumed strictly limited to the
quantity that will do the least bod
ily and mental harm.
While the strict teetotaler may not
agree with the wisdom of such action
it is never the less founded in excellent
good judgment coupled with a keen
insight into human nature.

ALASKAN TIMBER
FOR MINE PROPS.
i -
That mine llmbors of wh'itc spruce,
Sitka spruce, white birch, and west
ern hemlock grown on the Ohugack
National forest, Alaska, are fully as
good as Dougins fir from the Rocky
mountain region and are superior to
other Rocky mountain species for use
as mine timbers has been demonstrat
ed by the forest products laboratory
at Madison Wis., says the Forest Ser
vice Bulletin.
Tests made to determine the suita
bility of the Alaskan trees for mine
timbers showed that In bending
strength developed the four species
named are from 20 per cent to more
than 100 per cent stronger than lodge
|x>le pine, alpin fir Engelmann spruce,
bristle cone pine, and western yellow
pine from the Rooky mountain region.
All of these species are widely used
for mine timbers and were tested by
the laboratory.
Sitka spruce, white birch, and west
ern hemlock from Alaska proved to be
considerably higher In average
strength than Rocky mountain Dou
glas Hr. White spruce averaged
nearly as well.

A REAL REMEDY.
A sufferer went to a "quack” doc
tor and complained of a sharp pain
in the loins after sitting on damp
grass for some hours, during which
he had frequently sucked the point
of a lead pencil. The "quack” told
him that he was suffering from
"plumbism" and gave him some pills.
The next day he returned to the
“quack” and said, "You told me I had
'plumbism,* which Is lead poisoning,
and I now find there is no lead In lead
pencils, only graphite of plumago.”
"Oh!” replied the "quack,” airily.
"Did I say plumbism Is the cause
of your lumbism? I meant to have
Bald plumbago is the cause of your
lumbago.” “Oh!** said the man. “But,
anuyhow, your pills are only bread!”
"Of course!” replied the “quack."
"Don’t you know that bread is the
finest thing to remove pencil marks
with? You didn’t want me to give
you India rubber pills, did you?” ,
