(By Associated Press)

Petrograd, May IA report of
the results of compulsory temper
ance, as introduced into Russia
since the beginning of the war, has
been prepared by Professor A. l..
Mendelson of the Russian Society
for the Preservation of the National
Health.
In the opinion of Prof Mendelson.
the beneficial results of compulsory
temperance are not open to doubt
In proof of his contention he cites
the reduction of alcoholic sickness
in Petrograd and of the attendance
at anti-alcohoic sanitariums, the
decline in the number of cases OF
dipsomania and alcoholic insanity,
and also of general mental affections
He notes also a reduction of indi-
rect manifestations of alcoholic
sickness, of traumatic injuries and
suicides. For example, from July to
December there were In lSl3 ninety
seven suicides, while in 1914 the to-
tai was reduced to IA.
other results of temperance. says
the professor, were an increase in
savings bank deposits and a reduc-
tion in the number of small loans
made by the pawn shops For the
first two months of 1915 the saw
ings banks of Petrograd received de-
posits exceeding the figures OF the
corresponding months a year ago by
one and a half million rubles, while
throughout Russia the deposits IN
creased by a hundred million ru-
bles.

microscope was as far removed from
the high-powered instrument of today
