NATION ON THE WATER WAGON.

NATION ON The WATER WASoN.
"The German emperor has put us In
the way Of saving ourselves. Not he.
but drink, was our enemy. and the kai
ser has slain our enemy for us. He
has made us adopt temperance and
nothing can defeat us now" This was
said In Petrograd by Mr.. Benislowsky.
director of the Russian-American
Steamship company and a member Of
the duma, as reported by Mary Isabel
Brush in an article, "A Nation on the
Water Wagon" In the Saturday Eve
ming Post. To the car the writer
gives credit for the empire-wide stop
page Of drink. Others, she says, would
have stopped the sale Of vodka merely
for the mobilization, but 1t had long
been the determination Of the czar to
abolish the evil and with the war
came the psychological moment. When
his prime minister declared total abb
stinence measure impossible" he re-
quested his resignation, and shortly
afterward issued the mandate which
lifted the liquor curse from a domain
which covers one-seventh Of the entire
globe.
Russia" says Mrs. Brush, entirely
sober for the first time In her national
existence, stands up bright and buoy
ant, with new hope and new Joy
She has no regrets and no problems
Even the minister Of finance, His Ex-
cellency Mr.. Bark. says she has not,
as he stands smiling with optimism In
the capital of his emancipated country
and faces the situation of raising-to
replace the revenue from vodka-the
modest sum of a thousand million
rubles a year"

BEER CONDEMNED.

After twenty-five years Of practice
DR.. s. S. Lungren, leading physician
and surgeon, has this to say about
beer: 1T is difficult to find any part
in the confirmed beer drinkers ma
chlnery that is doing its work as II
should. This is why their life cords
snap off like glass rods when disease
or accident gives them little blow.
Beer drinking shortens life. This Is
not a mere opinion; II is a we'll
settled, recognized fact Physicians
and insurance companies accept this
as unquestionably as any other undis
puted fact of science. The great Eng
lish physicians decide that the hearts
action is increased 13 per cent in its
efforts to throw off alcohol introduced
into the circulation. The result is
easily figured out. The natural pulse
beat is 76 per minute. If we multiply
this by 60 an hour, and "a hours in a
day. and add 13 per cent, we find that
the heart has been compelled to do
an extra work during that time in
throwing off the burden of a few
drinks equal to 1916 tons lifted one foot
high.

THE PRIME CAUSE.

Chicago's recently appointed NOR

the city's vice problem and find ways
and means to solve twill "investi-
