Of the best known beverages OF the old
world which are now sold in the United
States for the real thing. This warning
has been issued by the United States bu-
reau OF chemistry, whose experts. after
extensive Investigations, have found deal
ers selling domestic limitations OF the ma
tional drinks OF Russia and Germany,
which arc disguised SO cleverly that 1t Is
hard even for experts to tell them from
the Imported article.
Many consignments Of these alcoholic
beverages Of which the average American
seldom hears have been seized recently
In the United States for violation of the
pure food and drugs act, which prohibits
misbranding which Is false or mislead-
ing. Many immigrants coming to the Uni
ted States stick to their national drinks Of
Europe. and INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
ers recognizing this tendency and hoping
to escape the duty on imported wines and
liquors have thrown on the market many
misbranded limitations which are cleverly
labeled to fool the unwary foreigner who
Is living in this country.
Quantities of so-called vodka to the
amount OF 25D bottles were seized some
time ago in Waterbury. Conn.,. and other
places. Phe product, as far as all ap-
pearances Of the bottle were concerned,
bore every: evidence OF being genuine i'm

sian and also In English. as follows:
.Monopole vodka, made and bottled in
Russia Monopole." The spurious bever-
ago carried labels and other devices
which were false and misleading. The
bottles were sealed with wax having the
impression OF the Russian coat -of-arms
and the bottles themselves were Of Rus
sian manufacture. On investigation ex-
perts OF the bureau OF chemistry found
that the beverage was an American imi-.

signs OF many such limitations are so
ciever that In many cases 1t Is almost
impossible to tell the faxed food or bey-

Medical Training

ice Is the only system of education in
the United States or any of it's pos
sessions which is under the direct con-
troll of the federal bureau of education.
In the northwest territory there are
large areas In which the services of
regular physicians are not obtainable
It often becomes the duty of the pub
lie school teachers not only to render
first aid TO the injured or sick native,
but to care for him Throughout the en-
tire course Of a severe illness without
the aid of a physician.

Alaska The authors have taken par
ticular pains to describe the symptoms
and outline the methods Of treatment
Of the common diseases of the natives
Of instructions to the teachers who will
receive the book the authors say:
"A little learning Is dangerous
thing. and this is especially true in
medicine. Teachers are warned to be
careful in prescribing. 1t is often diff
cult to make diagnosis Of the disease
with which the patient Is suffering. To
lessen this difficulty symptoms of all
OF the common diseases are thoroughly
described so that the teacher may have
assistance in determining any case
Remember this handbook is not in
tended to replace the services of a
physician and all cases should be re-
ferred to one whenever possible"
Agents of the government have found
that outside of performing their edu-
cational duties Alaska school teachers
are called on most frequently to assist
the natives in solving their health
problems. The new medical handbook
instructs the school teachers on every
phase of medical practice through
which 1t might be possible for the
agents of the bureau of education to
help the natives.
Public health officials believe that
the book is one of the most complete
and helpful of its kind that has ever

The minister of foreign affairs of
Roumania. NJ. Majoresco, addressed a
note to the powers expressing Roumania's
views concerning the general peace and
the new Roumano- Bulgarian frontier.
The note In resume said:
1.-The Roumanian army, in advancing
upon Bulgarian territory. pursues no idea
of conquest or Of crushing the Bull
garian army. Roumania's military action
Is due, in the first place. to the obliga-
ton to assure the safety of her territory
beyond the Danube.
1.-The actual conflict between the Bal
kanic states is due to Bulgarian aggres-
sion against Servia and Greece. Roumania
demands a strategic frontier on the Bull
garia side in order to assure pacific re-
lations betweens the two states

long menaced the Balkan peace.
M. Pachitch, premier OF Servia, and NJ
Venizelos, premier of Greece, met in con.
ference at Uskub on the 18th ultmo. The
first subject discussed was the character
OF the reply to Russia's proposition to
end hostilities. Servia, Greece and Monte
negro had always manifested thanks for
Russias friendly intervention. 1t was
next necessary to show Bulgarias re-
sposibility for the actual incident. Bull
garia had committed bastard assaults
against Servia and Greece.
After the foregoing preamble the allies
would declare that they were ready to
enter into pourparlers direct with Bull
garia.
M. Pachitch and NJ. Venizelos have had
naturally to consider what would be the
basis Of these pourparlers, and an ar
rangement was concluded on this head.
In any event there could not be a Ques-
ton of the allies returning to the con-
dition of affairs prior to the war; 1t was
understood that the new situation should
be met by new conditions. According to
all probability, these new conditions will
bear upon the following points:

victories. of the armies Of the allies over
