NATIONAL DISHES AS GOOD

CHICAGO, Sept, 2i-The leading hotels

from menus French, German and Rus
sian names of popular dishes. The Ho-
tel La Sale started the movement and
others followed. The Germans have been
boyCotting French and Russian dishes,
while "Sou'ash" and Wiener schnitzel"
found no favor with English, French and
Russian guests.

as applied to peaceable Chicago restau-
rants where "Cauape russo" led off for

ICHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS
Asphaltic Material From Austria
Scarce Because of War.

The importation of ichthyol, peculiar
asphaltic material found in Austria,
which finds application after appropriate
chemical treatment as a very important
medicament, has been, along with many
other products, cut off by the war.
The raw material comes from q fossil
ferrous deposit near Seefeld, in the Aus
TRAN Tyrol. 1t is carefully selected and
subjected to dry dlstillation. This dis
tillate thus obtained is then sulphonated
and subsequently neutralized with am
monia The use of this material has
greatly increased in the last few years,
and it has proved very beneficial.
Almost Immediately following the be-
ginning of the war its price doubled,
going to more than 60 cents an ounce.
Already however, a firm in st. Louis has
a material OH the market which has been
favorably recommended as an efficient
substitute closely resembling ichthyol it.
