CARE FOR RUSS DRUNkARDs
Reformed Muscovite Donates Magnift-
cent Hotel for Professional
Tripplers.

Kieff. Russia. has become a real
paradise for drunkards through the
charity of the merchant, Vassin Leve-
def, himself reformed drunkard,
who has built a magnificent hotel for
tipplers and who employs ten men to
go about the streets day and night
and drive to the unique hotel all whom
they find intoxicated. Here the topers
are given comfortable beds, Russian
bath and an appropriate breakfast
when they sober up. Drunknness in
Russia has increased at an alarming
rate since the war broke out, especial
ly in the provincial capitals. On Sum
days and holidays the police stations
are so full of persons found helpless
in the streets from drink that separate
quarters have had to be hired. In
6aratopf an enormous building has
been opened for giving nights shell
ter to persons who are too drunk to
find their way or give their addresses
to the police.

OFFERS SIS FOR EACH BABY
Unique Prize to Be Given by British
Mayor with View to Hating
Infant Mortality.

Among the hundreds Of mayors who
have been elected in England recent
~, there is one who has attracted
considerable attention by singular
offer. The mayor of Huddersfeld. in
returning thanks for his election, said
his desire was especially to have
babies In his community.
He declared he would give the par
ents of every baby born in his native
place, Longwood. during his year In
Office, a promissory note for Eve dol
lars, to be paid when the baby reached
the age of one year, together with a
card bearing simple, homely directions
for the welfare Of the child. He hoped
that the offer would arouse in GER
tain measure attention to the question
OF infant mortality, upon which the
public conscience now is well-nigh
dead
The mayor added that he was not a
plutocrat, or he might make the offer
apply to the whole borough. But as
about 1000 children are born in the
borough each year it would be rather
a large order for him"
