SUBSTITUTE COLOGNE
FOR LIQUOR IN RUSSIA
American Prohibition History is BE-
ing Repeated, Petrograd
Druggists Report.
DEN.ATURED ALCOHOL USED
Rcctiflcd as Beverage in Place OF
vodka-Anyway, There Is Less
Drunkenness Than Before Anti
Liquor Decree Became Effective.

PETROGRAD. November after
more than years trial OF the anti
liquor decree il appears that some
American prohibition history is being
repeated in Russia. a memorial to the
City Council of Petrograd sets forth
that the Union of Drug Clerks finds tho
demand for eau dc cologne and a va
riety Of bitters has been growing stead
lis
II is estimated that the 100 licensed
drug stores in the city have sold the
equivalent of $4,000 gallons Of pure
alcohol since the anti-liquor .dlct took
effect at the beginning OF the war.
While some Of this is legitimate drug
business. 1t is asserted that the trade
mainly consists of sales To persons who
use these alcoholic preparations in bev-
eraEcS. Further, il is stated. tho drug
;,ists have begun tn" sal" OF surroEatcs
for various trade articles. such Surro-
gates consisting of alcohol that has
been allowed to stand upon aromatic
seeds. roots and leaves. or which has
been more simply doctored up with
aniline ingredients. The drug store
trade in fact seems to be carried on
without any false pretenses as to the
purposes for which these surrogatcs are
offered for sale.
MUCH LESS DRUNKENNESS
SINCE WARS OUTBREAK
Tho memorial has been taken into
consideration by the City Council!
OF still greater proportion than the
sale OF the drug preparations mention
ed has been the use of dcnatured al
cohol as Il beverage and the rectitica-
tion of denaturcd alcohol into n pala-
table. If not a wholesome. substitute
for vodka.
The effort to render fuel alcohol re-
pcllan, to the workinEmans taste does
not seem to have succeeded Equally
fruitl"sS has been the campaign OF cdu-
cation undertaken by the government
and the press. The government has
finally been forced to adopt restrictive
measures In view of the temperance
program adopted ut the outbreak of the
war, fuel alcohol may now be sold only
to persons having a license from the
police. But naturally the police can
not be certain what great deal OF the
heat business and domestic premises
and to prepare food is not later peddled
for beverage. The relative scarcity OF
wood and coal has forced many house
holders and merchants and manufacture
ers to rely upon alcohol heaters for
warmth. 1t Is Impossible to deny the
requests OF legitimate purchasers, and
1T Is difficult TO draw the line between
them and secret rectifcrs
Nevertheless there is now incompar-
ably less drunkenness in Russia than
there was before the war.

WOMAN JUMPS 70 DEATH.

Leaps From Bridge at Cedar Rapids
and 10 Drowned.
Cedar Rapids, April 6.-"Dear Andy:
Don't blame yourself for anything. You
have been good husband to me and
have done everything to please me.
You were brave those three weeks
and tried to cheer me. You have noth-
ing to be sorry for, so be brave. I
could not make you happy home.
You will be better off without your
wife. Goodbye"
Above is the pitiful little note left

Kenyon Of 1911 K street, west, Mon
day morning just before she leaped
from the Milwaukee railroad bridge
to her death in the swirhng waters of
the Cedar river. Maintaining her I'M
selfishness to her devoted husband to
the last, she gave no apparent reason
why she ended her life in such man
ner. Andrew Kenyon, the grief strick-
en- husband, overcome by the sad ca :
tastrophe that befell his wife, was
unable to give any reason for her act.
Neig hborhood gossip had it that Mrs.
Kenyon had appeared nervous for
several days and the milkman that
visits that neighborhood said that she
appeared at times to be worrying and
even demented. Just what the real
cause of the suicide was, may never

people, was returned Saturday after
noon by jury in the district court at
Waseca, MINI. The verdict was for 49,
900 damages in favor Of c. ]. Tierney.
formerly conductor on the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis road, running from
Fort Dodge to st. Paul, Mr.. Tierney is
we'll known here, as ne Is brother Of
Mrs. George Eischied.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton. Tierney last July was discharged
by the road on the charge Of knock
ing down" fares, the evidence having
been furnished by spoilers. working for
tho National Security Company, in
which trainmen are bonded. Tierney
claimed the case against him was a
frameup by the Spoilers" and brought
suit against the railroad and bonding
company. The judge dismissed the
case against the railroad, claiming
that it had right to discharge en-
ployes but the bonding company was
held to be liable if the report was
proven false. The jury returned the
verdict of $4,000 damage.
