THREE-MINUTE
JOURNEYS
BY TEMPLE MANNING.

In eastern Russia there is strange
custom. the origin of which, like so
many other things to be found in that
inscrutable country, is wrapped IN
mystery. This is the law OF certain
provinces that compels employers to
supply free vodka to their workmen
during the winter months.
The winters in Russia and Siberia,
as is well known, are exceptionally
severe, and it is a sad fact that each
year many of the "moujiks.' or peas
ants. are frozen to death. Vodka is
the fiery LIQUOR that is so typically
Russian that the mention of 1T makes
you think of the nation, and the
''moujiks" are very fond of it. With
out question, vodka is very heating,
and the peasants pin their faith to
it as a sure preventive against the
bitter cold.
There seems little doubt that the
reason for this free vodka law OF the
eastern province lies in the mouJik s
faith in the biting spirit to fight cold,
but how they made it into law we 90
not know Nevertheless, a law 1t ls,
and an employer of labor lis required.
during the time Of frost and snow, to
give his workmen a quarter or
pint of neat vodka twice a day
without doubt the employer does
not lose by this, as he most certain
ly counts this cost in establishing
the mems wages.
What q scandal it would create in
this country If twice a day per-
ambulating barkeeper should ap-
proach a gang of laborers In the
street, pull out list, give each
workman a drink, check Off his name
on the list as he drank his drink, ana
then pass on to the next gang. But
in eastern Russia the scandal would
be raised if the local vodka distrfpu-
tor did not do this.
One of the most interesting slghts
OF these provinces is this distrlnu-
ton. Exactly like lot OF animals
accustomed to be fed at a given time
the workmen show signs of restless-
ness as the vodka hour approaches.
They slow down in their work, pc
come restless nearly to point or
nervousness. glance in the direction
from which the vodka man VIII ap-
proach, and drop their tools the IN
slant he comes in sight. Gathering
around him they laugh and joke WIN
the relieved gayety of children ABOUT
to have a treat they had long walteo
for, and when the drink is actually
in their hands they drink IL down
as though 1t were water and not the
fiery burning spirit that 1t is
Then when the vodka man mas
passed they all go back to work with
renewed energy slapping their legs
and defying the bitter cold with
pleased and satisfied smiles.

Dear Miss Doom:
Some time ago you published in
your columns remedy for freckles,
which at the time l cut out, in
tending to use it, but lost 1t. You
will greately oblige q reader by
publishing same again.
LAURA G. B.
No positive cure has ever been
found for freckles, because they
are produced by an unequal dis
tribution of the pigment of the
skin. The following is said to be
effective:
Tactic acid, four ounces; glycer-
inc, two ounces: rose water, one
ounce. Apply several times daily
with a soft cloth. Use a soothing
cream afterwards.
Another lotion consists of:
One wineglass lemon juice, one
pint rainwater. five drops essence
of rose. Apply in the same way.
Rubbing the face with lemon
juice before going into the sun
and air is said to prevent freckles.
Bathing the face with buttermilk
is considered the best remedy of
all by many people.
Here is lemon and glycerine To-
ton:
Citric acid Qemon), three drains;
hot water, eleven ounces; borax,
two drains; red rose petals, one
ounce; glycerine, one ounce.
Dissolve the acid and yborax in
the water; infuse the petals for an
hour; strain through a jelly bag
after twenty-four hours; decant
the clear portion and add the gly-
cerin. Apply as often as agreeable.
