London, Dec. "a Petrograd dis

that through the prohibition of the

ance with the will Of the emperor,
who is anxious to see his people
healthy and sober, the country has
been deprived of one Of its most i'm
portant sources Of revenue, but he is
convinced that however much this
may be felt by the treasury, the cre-
alive power of the sober Russian peo-
pie applied to the enormous natural
riches Of the country will enable fu-
ture budgets of the empire to be bas-
ed on new principles.
1.-THE revenue, which in the first
two months showed consider

permanent upward tendency which

Harry Waddell Of Topeka. Kan, a
farm hand on the johnson place. shot
and killed Miss Nina Johnson with a
rifle and then tried to take his own

Waddell entered the johnson en-

Miss Johnson, the 2f-year-old daugh-

The girl told him she needed none

go to the barn and attend to his
chores
Waddell passed behind her and
seized rifle and put a bullet in the
girls head at the base of her brain.
He then turned the rifle on himself
and fired five shots into his own

will recover. Waddell confessed the
whole story to Sheriff Bishop Of

BRUSSELS must .
DEPEND ON ]. S.
Ninety Per Cent of the Food
Comes from this Coun-
try, Says Dispatch.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Ninety per cent
Of the population of Brussels is de-
pendent for its food upon aid from
the United States, according to a spe-
cial cable despatch received by the
Chicago Daily News today from the
Belgian capital.
The correspondent described the at
tempt Of the people to keep up ap-
pearances. and then told of visit to
kitchen housed in big building
where formerly panamora of the
battle of Waterloo was exhibited.
"A mixture of vegetables and a
small amount of meat is boiled for
hours in cauldrons, each bigger than
a barrel. Then the soup is drawn off
into large tins. loaded on trays and
transported to the various distribut-
ing stations" said the correspondent.
Parents. elder brothers and sis
ters come to these stations to seek the
precious nourishment," said the news
cable. '"They lined up in front of
windows through which girl volun-
teers passed vessels. Two tots of 6
and z came for milk and phosphatine
showed toes raw with cold through
great holes.
). Economically speaking. the status
of Brussels could not we'll be worse.
Ninety per cent Of the bread winning
more than 10000 people,
depend for their daily existence upon
the soup kitchens. And this, too, de-
spite the fact that there is bread for
sale in nearly every bakery that the
pastry shops are piled high with
cakes and currant bread There is
no lack Of meat and there is an
of fruit. Within restau-
rants good meals may be had,
"Yet on all sides, among all class
es, are found hunger and despair. For
example, $500 men normally find en-
ployment in the printing trade. Today
only rs are at work printing the no.
tices with which the Germans flood
the town. Worst Of all Is the fact that
the number of those reduced to pub
lie charity through the exhaustion of
their own supplies will grow steadily"
