voDKT IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Barracks Cold, Men Try to Warn
Up on Drink.

Warsaw Cor. Pail Mall Gazette
Owing to the prevalence of drunkenness
In the Russian army 1t has been decided
to abolish the traditional gift of a glass
Of vodka on certain gala days and replace
II by glass of Caucasian wine.
Gen keppen affirms that 20 per cent of
the crimes committed by soldiers are done
when under the influence of alcohol An
other authority goes as far as 954 per
cent. Twelve per cent of the confirmed
drunkards in St. Petersburg began to
drink in the army. The reason for this is
said 10 be the excessively low temperature

soldiers are cold, and therefore try to
warm themselves with vodka
This reform, II 1t may be so called will
cost the government, which has the spirit
monopoly. a goodly sum. One regiment
alone spends over 25.OOO rubles annually
on vodka. If this is replaced by wine
private people will get the benefit of the
change. But as one general remarked,
You can no more teach a Russian SOL

Mr.. Spielmann, the historian of Punch

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is eve high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet, it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods we're gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, and Theoretically
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. 8

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Is MAKING NICE PROFIT

The net milling profits of the Mont
gomery-Shoshone Consolidated Mining
company for the months of November,
December, January and February, ag-
gregated $50, 800, according to a state
ment by General Manager John G.
Kirchen, who recently returned from
New York.
This shows a profit of more than $780,
900 a month, or $4,000 a year, or
practically ten per cent per annum
on the capitalization of $4,000, 900.
With the additional equipment soon
to he installed at the mill, the pro-
duction will be largely increased.
Mr.. Kirchen stated that monthly re-
ports will be made to stockholders, so
that every stakeholder large or small
will be fully advised of the affairs of
the company.
The mine is looking just as promis-
ing as ever, with great quantities of ore
blocked out and broken down.

CALIFORNIA COURT GIVES
DECISION ON WILDCATTIN(

The California court has decided that
agents and others who make misrepre-
sensations as to the value of stocks do
so at their own risk; that the purchaser
of stocks in corporations has the right
to rely absolutely upon the representa-
lions made to him by the seller.
Furthermore the court held that the
purchaser is not obligated to make an
investigation of the truth of the repre-
sensations made to him, or as to the con-
ditions of the corporation.
1t is the duty of the company or
corporation to "make good'' the talk
of its officers or agents.
In effect, the decision strikes a crush
ing blow at the great army of promoters
who have mulcted the investing public
for years by telling glowing tales of
work under way and of riches in sight,
all based on valueless oil or mining
or on devices pictured as worth
when put into use.
