called on Governor Tillman to find
out the practical working of the
Dispensary law and it's effect upon
them received the following infor-
nation: Manufacturing druggists
will get alcohol at absolute cost
and carriage, provided they buy
in barrel lots. Retail druggists
who buy at retail or less than a
barrel will pay 10 per cent. ad-
vance. They will also be requested
to furnish their own cans and to
send their orders through their

Is going out of fashion in that land, and
especially in the army. When the Rus
sian officer gives up drinking champagne
1t seems to us that the British navy will
give up beer, and until the great wine
sellers of Rheims themselves corroborate
this rumor we must respectfully decline
to believe 1t. When the Russian officer
imbibes champagne land, a. a rule, he
will drink it whenever he can get it), he
Is not content with moderate rotations.
1t is scarcely fgurative to say that he
swallows it by pailfuls, and that he likes
his champagne exceedingly strong and
excessively sweet.
Honore de Balzac once gravely main =
tanned that the vast indemnity exacted
from France by the allied powers after
the campaign of 1915 was more than re-
imbursed to the French by the amount
which the %victors, especially the Russians,
spent in champagne among the restaura-
tours Of Paris. II would be, neverthe-
less, n grave error to suppose that tNs
sparkling wines of Rheims are univer-
sally consumed in the Russian army; tn Q
enjoyment of them is almost exclusively
confined to the Imperial Guard. Still,
