Drunk on
Cologne

Especial Correspondence Of the Inter
Ocean.)
Eau de cologne and other toilet
preparations are doing great deal of
harm among the Indians of Peace
River district in northwestern Canada,
according to a member of the Canadi-
an geological survey who has just re.
turned from visit to that region.
The harm comes from the fact that
the Indians drink them.
Cologne and various other concoc-
tions known as Florida water, essence
of ginger, and essence Of peppermint
are prepared especially for internal
use by traders, who are not permitted
to sell whisky to the Indians. The
stuff is in reality nine-tenths pure al.
cohol ]. NJ. Macoun of the Canadian
survey says that the traffic in alcohol
thus disguised has become such Sc.
rious matter that the missionaries
have become discouraged and the bus
mess OF the Hudson Bay company
promises to be embarrassed.
The Indians have learned that the
sweet smelling things are to drink
and are not to be wasted as exterior
ointments. II one were to consult
the Dominion records of importations,
one would suppose that the Indian
half-breeds Of the Northwest had sud.
dehly developed a remarkable fond.
ness for cleanliness. for the customs
reports show an unusual increase In
the quantity OF toilet waters imported.
Most OF these preparations come from
the United States.
According to Mr.. Macoun, the ef,
fects of drinking these preparations
are very serious. The cologne is es.
pecially injurious, as II has shown
tendency TO affect the eyesight of In.
dians drinking It continuously.

Mr.. Marcoun also asserts that he
took one drink of cologne just to see
waht sort Of stun the Indians were
drinking, and found II so sweet and
nauseating, and at tho same time so
burning hot, that he was glad TO end
his experiments. The essence of pep.

The versatile kaiser of Germany, on a recent visit to Dantzig. investigated workmens homes and manner of life and chatted with the men employed in the government arms manufactory. The kaiser asked the men what rent they paid. When told, he exclaimed: sIt is much too high"
 The kaiser inquired whether the gov ernment factory provided kitchens where the midday lunches could be warmed The kaiser said to 6 member of his suite: These kitchens are as nec- esary to workmen as for us. for work men have just as sensitive stomachs as we and like their food warm instead of cold Besides, their wives don't have to bring their husbands warm dinners. They can remain at home to attend to the child" The result of the kaiser $ visit will be Kitchens installed in all gov ernment workshops.
