campaign being waged by the Drug

And also to know just WHY the

good people having their tooth-wash,
baby remedies and wine for sacra-

them as caring for neither?
Just why one of these same people
would as soon shoot the accompice
as the thief in their chicken yard
and feel justified in so doing, yet
they will help the man who sells
whiskey in violation of the same
code Of law by buying the hellish
stuff and remain a perfectly good
fellow" and may run for office?
Why people who believe in prohi-

will be misled by these contradictory

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA

Minister of Finance P. Bark, of
Petrograd, ;, Russia, received on Sep
tember 30th an order to the effect
that the prohibition of the sale of
vodka shall be continued indefinitely
after the end of the war. This order
is based principally on the tremen-
duously improved condition of the
country since the Emperor issued
the edict prohibiting traffic in this
liquor. Visitors arriving from Souti :
ern Russia say there is such a change
in that region that the country is
hardly recognizable. Peasants, who
before the war had fallen into hope
less Incidence and depravity, already
have emerged into self-respecting
citizens. The effect on character is
already visible in neatly brushed
clothes instead of the former ragged
and slovenly attire. Huts which
formerly were dilapidated and al
lowed to go without repairs are now
kept in first-class condition.
The towns have become more or
derIy and the peasants indulge in
more wholesome amusements. These
people now save SIS per cent of their
earnings, which formerly was spent
for drink and they have increased
their earning capacity through so.
briefly. This extra money is now
devoted to the necessities and com
forts of life. This startling regen-
Grafton of the peasantry, in the
opinion of the Russian authorities,
is likely to have an important effect
on the social and economic condi-
tion of all Russia.
A change in the large cities is
also noticeable. Liquor still is sold
in firsL-class cafes, but these are
practically empty. The Nevsky
Prospect. once famous for its gay
midnight life, is now quiet, without
sign of revelry.

THE HOME SALOON

To the married men who cannot
get along without his drinks, the
following is being suggested as a
means of freedom from the bondage
of the saloon: Start a saloon in
your own house. Be the only GUS
toner. You will have no license to
pay. Go to your wife and give her
two dollars. to buy a gallon of
whiskey-and remember there are
sixtynine drinks in one gallon. Buy
your drinks from no one but wife,
and by the time the first gallon is
gone she will have $500 to put in
the bank, and $500 to start business
again. Should you live ten years
and continue to buy booze from her
and then die with snakes in your
boots, she will have enough to bury
you decently, educate your children,
buy house and lot, marry decent
man and quit thinking about you. -
