Unable to Haze Wines,
Russians Take to Root
Beer and GriddLe Cakes

Petrograd, Russia, March 2O.-The
Punishment Of table wines by govern

beverage which seldom has been used

brand is prepared by a special treat
ment of Russian black bread. 1t is
now served in all the restaurants
Another incidental curiosity about

The ordinary complement per person is

Jam Is Important Diet
of the British Soldier; Is
Much Better Than Sugal

London. Ems. March 20.-Jam is one
Of the most important articles in the
diet of the British soldier. nOtwith-
standing the ridicule TO which IL is
subjected, particularly by German hu-
morists.
Jam, says professor James Long, has
three and a half times the energy value
Of butter. The value lies in its rich
ness in sugar-of which one-half its
weight consists-in the minerals pres
ent in the skins OF fruit. in its laXa-
tive character and its mechanical aid
to digestion Besides il is tOothsome
and gives a relish TO army diet that
by its mental effect -oss far in the
maintenance Of health No better vari-
ent could be found for a diet limited
TO simple foods.
The professor points out the fallacy
of the popular belief that all sugars are
alike. In jam it partakes Of the ma
ture of sugar of fruit Unlike the beet
and cane sugar Of commerce. the sugar
of fruit has a remarkable effect on
nutrition. Commercial sugar. If eaten
too freely, causes irritation, acidity and
other freaks Of Indigestion. When the
cane sugar is employed in jam, il par
takes largely of the nature of fruit
sugar and its i'll effects largely dis
appear. This is particularly true Of
the "invert sugar" Of jam that has
been well boiled. Invert sugar is due
to the united action Of heat and fruit
acids.

PHYSICIANS ASK
ENGLAND T0GJT
OFF RUMR RATION
Declare the Daily Portion Of
Liquor Is Injuring the
Troops at the Front.
ASK PROHIBITION
DURING WARTIME

= ONDON, Eng, March 2O.-Opposition
tothe action of the war office in sup
- plying rations Of rum to the British
troops at the front is manifest in the
British press. Although the war office
in defense Of its action stated that the
allowance Of rum was regarded by the
military authorities as a medicinal
supply rather than a part OF the food
ration, a large part Of the demand Tor
the abolition of the alcoholic ration
comes from the medical profession
A round dozen physicians, all Of them
leaders in their profession, were sign
ers Of a recent appeal to the govern
ment TO follow the lead Of Russia in
abolishing absolutely the sale of spirit
uOus liquors in Great Britain for the
duration OF the war
Expert Makes Protest.
Speaking in behalf Of the army medi-
cal corps, Capt Sir Victor Horsley. a
well known medical and scientific lead
er. contributes an article TO the current
issue Of the British Medical Journal re-
mOnstrating against rne issue Of rum
to the soldiers as an alleged protection
against cold and damp. He says.
All medical scientists now know
that although alcohol produces a tenn
porary flush on the surface Of the skin.
this is due TO a rush Of blood TO fill
the arteries slackened by alcohol. and
that the excess of blood thus driven TO
the surface loses its heat and on re-
turning TO the interior chilled by such
exposure, inevitably lowers the body
temperature.
although army regulations say the
rum is only issued by order Of the com
manding officer on recommendation Of
the medical officer, the spirit is no part
Of the medical stores. but is in the
cOmmisariat with the food supplies and

The spirit drinking habit i'm the
British army was first contracted dur
ing the Duke Of MarlbOrough's cam
paign in Flanders 200 years ago 1t is
national misfortune that this story of
200 years ago is being repeated. for our
army is again as then. being taught to
become victims to the spirit-drinking
habit.
In the American Civil war. when
McClellans great army on the banks
Of the Potomac endured several weeks
OF severe hardship in trenches. il was
determined to issue spirit ratiOns. but
after one month. the rations were with
drawn because the men were the worse
for it. the medical officers reporting
specifically that the raIIon was iniur-
iOus, that II had increased the ailments
Of the men, and was nothing but an
unmitigated evil
In the present war, the authorities
have contracted for the supply of over
500, 900 gallons Of rum, OF which more
than half has already been sent TO
France. The war office has gone from
bad TO worse by a new concession OF
rum TO raw recruits in training at
home.
Il stake my professional reputation
on my declaration that rum causes loss
of resistance TO cold and Is a cause Of
misery, and frostbite- II also
causes loss OF resistance to such dis
eases as pneumonia, dysentery and ty-
phOid."
