War Affects Whisky Prices.

IN the years that are to come the
l holocaust under which the world
now reels and beca use of which it pro-
fusely bleeds may be called by many
persons "the temperance war;" and it
| may be pointed to- as an epoch in the
temperance cause. Liquor drinking has
been banned in the Russian armies and
the sale of vodka prohibited in Russia
and territory coming under Russian
arms. Abstinence has been enjoined in
the army of Great Britain fighting in
France and Flanders and in the British
armies forming in British territory.
Temperance was commanded in the
German armies as one of the means of
promoting efficiency before the war
came on.
Another unusual feature of the war
and one that may be accounted tenn
| perance factor is that because of this
war shortage in rye whisky is said
by distillers to be imminent in the
United States and it is also said that
the price of the liquor NAV be doubled
Ihe cause of this extraordinary con-
dition is alleged to be the heavy de-
mand which the warning nations are
| making for rye for grinding and bak-
ing INTO bread instead of distilling into
| drink
1T has been given out on competent
authority that the late rye crop in the
United States was unusually large and
the rye crops in Russia, Germany and
the Balkan rye-growing countries were
considerably above the normal 1t was
predicted that this combination of cir
cumstances would result in depressed
rye prices. However. rye has marked
ly increased in price and the foreign
pldd1ng for this grain for human food
! has carried quotations far above the
prices commonly paid for the grain by
distiliers. With the advancing prices
OF rye have gone also the prices of bar
ley, which is largely used in making
drink, and the prices of oats and
wheat
In addition to the great demand on
this country for grains of all kinds, in
Guiding, of course, those grains used

Square Bullets for the Turk.

THE Christian in this year of grace
1914. can hardly appreciate the
grotesque spirit of cruelty and hatred
with which Christian warriors of two
centuries ago looked upon the Turk. A
Washington man has an ancient fire.

wars that then ragged among all the
nations of Europe and eastern Asia,
Christian and infidel. It Is a double
barreled musket, muzzle-loading, OF
course, and constructed generally after
the style of the muskets used by the
soldiers Of Louis XIV and Frederick
the Great, but differing in this re-
markab1e manner: One of the barrels
is of a circular bore. somewhat in size
like the ordinary 50-caliber rifle of the
civil war and shot a spherical ball. The
other barrel. however. is square in
shape and chambered out in rectangu-
lar form for the purpose of shooting a
cubical slug
According to an old gazetteer, these
strange weapons were built for fight
ing indifferently against Christian or
Turk. The circular barrel. firing a
round missile. which made only a
small hole in the body of the victim,
was for use against Christians. The
square barrel, however whose eight
cornered slug tore a wicked, Jagged
wound in the flesh of the unfortunate
target, was to be used only in warfare
against the Turks.
