A Cocktail Strike


o. American consumers of cocktails liV-
ing in Europe are about TO enter into
combinations against the extortionate
price OF % cents for manhattan or a
martini In Berlin in Paris. in London
in Rome. in all the great cities abroad
where there are large colonies. there
are American bars, where the piece Je
resistance is the classic cocktail IN
the imagination of Europeans the only
drink INDUCED in by the American is
the cocktail. As all things distinctively
American are overtaxed abroad, so are
cocktails. To be branded as an Ameri-
can is an immense luxury Rather
than go without his patriotic cocktail,
an American would. it is supposed. pay
a dollar drink, or even return to the
States So that to charge only % cents
for Ito be sure badly mixed cocktail
seems generous, almost charitable.
But Americans are never satisfied,
and now they are demanding 15-cenr
cocktails. They are tired of paying the
excessive tax for a cocktail in which
there is an unduly large proportion Of
vermouth and an unduly small portion
nf Gin or whisky. as the case may be.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-01-21

To support their demand they have
made d serious threat. They have de-
clared that they would organize a union
in all the large cities; that all cocktail
drinking Americans abroad would
league together and import their own
gin. whisky. and bitters. and buy
abroad large quantities of vernoutn
and cordials. stock their private houses,
form clubs. and boycott the bars -
which would soon have to go out Of
business.
This threatened commercial warfare
has created CONSERVATION in business
circles abroad, for no one can predict
the Consequences unless our expatriated
countrymen may maintain the one SEN
tfmental link which unites them -
their native land. That they will insist
on maintaining It Is certain. The
American cocktail will not vanish from
the earth. no matter what the special
outcome of the strike may be-New

| HOTEL TRAGEDY
 MURDER AND SUICIDE
The Sin of . Seattle Man at Last .~
 Found Him Out.

Seattle. Wash, Jan. 24.-When the door of the hotel apartment of Chas. O. Tucker. proprietor of large furni- ture store was forced open today aft CT a suspicion that something was wrong the plain story of murder and suicide was found in the position of two dead bodies lying in the room. Tucker was dead upon the floor with bullet wound in his heart. Miss Elvira M. Bunkelman, an attractive young woman with whom Tucker had spent much time during the last two years was lying dead beside him with a bullet hole in her brain. 'TtAn in- vestigation developed that the tragedy occurred on Friday night. W
 The police theory is that Miss Bunkleman had gone to the room to demand money of Tucker. and. that in anger at his refusal she had killed him. She evidently killed herself im- mediately. Tucker came to Seattle ten years ago from St. Louis with Lorraine Lemoin. a young woman of good family in that city who left him and died in misery.

CUTICURA A SUCCESS
 IN BOTH THESE CASES

"I had eczema on my hands for ten years. At first it would break out only in winter. Then it finally came to stay. I had three good doctors te do all they could but none of them did any good I then used one box of Cuticura Oint- ment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvcnt. together with the Cuticura Ointment. my sores were nearly healed over. and by the time had used the third bot tie, I was entirely well. I had q good appetite and was fieshier than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get we'll. My hands. cured by the use of Cuticura. have never sven me the least bit of trouble I'D to now. l cannot recommend Cuticurs highly enough. it has done me and my family so much good. My daughters hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get poth- ing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used two bot ties of Cuticura Resolvent and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my fam fly and it always proved successful. I recommend it to any one with eczema. After once using it you will never use anything else. Mrs. M. E.

 the following notes of his experi-

 The English here are making feeble attempts to celebrate Christmas cor

 turkeys had been treasured up for the | important occasion, but unfortunately
 few days ago they anticipated their | fate and most illnaturedly insisted up- on dying. One fortunate Briton has got ten pounds of camel and has in

 Francisque Sarcey indignantly pro- tested against the practice of eating dogs. Hunger. however. knows no law, and in November canine and feline butcher shops were opened in different parts of Paris. Skillfully prepared. properly skinned and cooked with a good sauce. the dogs proved excellent eating; their meat was pink and delicate, and by no means tough Canine outlets were sold at francs each, and leg of dog might be pur- chased during November at double that price a pound
 Two good bourgeois. husband and wife, had a little dog of which they were very fond. But a day came when there was nothing to eat in the house. and poor Bijou had to be killed and cooked.

THE LONG FLIGHT
 OF HAMILTON
He Broke the Record for Towering
 Over Water.

San Diego. Jan. 24.-Charles K. Hamilton flew across the border line into Mexico and over Tia Juana today. He was gone forty minutes and trav- eled thirty four miles. The greater part of the time he was over the Pa- cific ocean at a height of 200 feet He also made flight by moonlight over the ocean. staying up for three and a half minutes
 Both of these performances are said to establish new records. Hamilton flew further over the sea than did Bleriot in his flight over the English channel, and he made the first flight ever recorded when both the start and finish were in semi i-darkness.
