FEW FACTS REGARDING DRINK
Some Striking Details Concerning Pub
lie Houses In Rural Districts OF
Russia and Some Figures.

The temperance organ of the Church
of England Temperance society in
Great Britain, publishes some strik-
ing details regarding drink and pub
lie houses in the rural districts OF
Russia and quotes some figures and
facts concerning the government mo-
nopoly of the liquor traffic. An ex-
tract reads as follows:
vodka in Russia is universal
drink: it is drunk in the palace Oh
the car and in the poorest cottage.
AS it is possible to obtain in the
government spirit shops small bot
tie of vodka for less than a penny,
the poorest beggar is now able to IN
dulge in the national beverage.
"AIl attempts to save the people
from drunkenness, and thereby raise
them. both morally and economically,
have hitherto been of no avail. Be-
fore the government took over the
sale of spirits there were villages IN
Russia where it was impossible to buy
vodka. and where the peasants were,
comparatively speaking, well TO 90.
But now the government is inundating
the smallest and most distant villages
with a flood of spirits. In some OF
these villages the women have been
reused to fury-not through their love
of alcohol, but owing to their hatred
of it. In order to save their families
from destruction, they have in some
districts assembled and stormed the
skassonki' (the government spirit
shops), the offenders being afterwards
very severely punished.
"The government makes an enor-
nous profit from the sale of spirits
Last year the sale amounted to ESQ.,
600, 900"
Official statistics from Russia show
that in 1908 there were 27,4O2 "sa-
looms" where vodka was sold, 2.677
vodka breweries, ell private distil-
Ieries. 26 reserve stores, and one rs
cal spirit distillery, divided into 43
sections. The consumption OF vodka
for the year was 232,s13,3S2 gallons.
The first all-Russian meeting against
habituaI drinking was held at st. Pet
ersburg December 81, 1909. to Janu-
airy 6, 1910.

c0TToNSEED MEAL FOR HENS
Its Use as Superior Food for Fowls
Being Demonstrated in Yards
Of Many PouItrymen.

The superiority of cottonseed meal
as food for cattle, horses, mules and
hogs, either as fat and flesh produc-
er or for milk and butter, has so long
passed the experimental stage as to
admit of no discussion. It's use as a
most valuable hog feed. giving
growth, flesh development and fecun-
d1ty, is also established beyond contro-
yersy. That 1t is equally valuable az
supplemental grain ration for horses
and mules under all sorts of condi-
tons, and especially SO for brood
mares and young colts, is also ac-
knowledged by all who have given It
a fair trial. M
SO, too, its use as a most superior
food for all kinds of fowls is being
demonstrated in the yards of many
poultrymen who have learned by ex-
perience and test to give 1t first place
as an egg producer. and for fat, flesh
and condition.
For, as will be at once seen, the
same high albuminoid content which
produces flesh and milk in cattle, de
velopment and fecundity in hogs.
bone, muscle and endurance In horses.
will give eggs. vigor and condition in
fowls.
As in other cases, 1t should always
be fed to poultry as supplemental ra-
ton only, and mixed always with some
less highly concentrated food-corn
chops, corn meal, wheat bran, shorts
or small grain, or with cottonseed
hulls. IL wet and soured. Mixed in
this way, about one-third to one-half
cottonseed meal, it may be fed either
dry or wet into thin dough, and the
result will be quickly shown in added
vigor. rapid growth, glossier plumage
and in increased egg production.
In fact, as with hogs, 1t seems to
act almost entirely as preventative
of nearly all diseases, and instances
are absolutely unknown where any
epidemic prevailed in fiocks having 1t
as habitual ration. On the contrary.
numerous cases can be cited where
they have remained entirely immune
and healthy, while neighboring fiocks
not having it have been destroyed by
cholera and kindred diseases.

erly- These points are so well taken
care of by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly well thought out and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, In
soft hemp, shows decided point at
the front and small, rather pointed
crown, which would be Insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide flange of velvet in the
same color and the loops, or ears,
were of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue of rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over a cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development OF
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim~ is covered with

were used almost half century ago
A shirred band of changeable taffeta

Shown here. Two rosettes of the tat

Comparatively Few Men Know How

something with which great many
men are not familiar, but when it

Drink a Handicap.

During these days of competition
M man or woman should be handi-
capped by the drink curse. It is true
that many able men drink liquors, but
Il Is frequently the case for men OF
ability to lose their good positions
because they become unreliable
through drink. They are branded as
fools and they ought TO have known
hotter. but nothing was ever done to
warn them Of the dangers of drink
ing alcoholic beverages until it was
too late to do any good.
The fact that alcoholism in its var
ious stages is disease, and, like
pneumonia. consumption and typhoid
fever requires a special treatment, has
not been recognized until recent
years.

beauty.
When she passed through the
streets people threw down flowers
for her to walk on. They worship
ped her. But when the time
came for her to marry, the king
was commanded by mysterious
voice to take her to wild noun
tain and leave her there.
'Alas!" cried the people.
"0ur lovely Psyche is about to
be sacrificed"
And so, indeed. she was. The
people had said that Psyche was
more beautiful than Venus her.
self. Now, Venus was the Spirit
Of Beauty, and, though what the
people said was true, Venus was
very angry. She had a son
named Cupid, who was the Spirit
Of Love, and she babe him marry
Psyche to the ugliest creature on
earth.
So when Psyche was placed on
the mountain wind fairy came
and carried her 10 a strange
place. There the maiden was
waited on by unseen spirits, who
played sweet music and served
her with delicious food. But in
the dark night someone came
and spoke tenderly to her and
she fell in love with him and con-
sented to be his wife. Then he
said:
Psyche. you may do what
you will in this palace which ]
have built for you. But one
thing you must not do. You
must not try TO see my face"
He was very sweet and kind
TO her. but as he came only in
the night time. Psyche felt very
lonely in the day time. One day
the wind fairy brought her sis
tiers to see her and they made
her very unhappy. They told
her that by command Of Venus,
Cupid had married her TO a
monster.
That's what your husband
is," they said. And that Is
why he will not let you see his
face"
The next night Psyche lighted
alamp and looked at her husband.
He was Cupid, the winged and
radiant Spirit Of Love- In her
joy. Psyche tilted the lamp ard
a drop Of hot oil fell on his
shoulder and aroused him.
"Ah, Psyche!" he cried. we
must part. Ny mother will now

and instead Of mating you to 9

Psyche brayely set out to follow
him. and. after sadly wandering
over the world. she came 10 the
palace Of Queen Venus. There
she remained as a servant, In III,
hope Of seeing Cupid. But Venus
recognized her. and, being more
angry with her than before. she
set her on dangerous tasks In
order TO bring about her death.

and lonely and soTowful that
everything on earth took her
part and helped her.

said. ''and ask her to All Il with

had ever returned from the Land

herself down and die. But the
