AS SUBSTITUTES FOR VODKA
Cologne. Furniture Polish and Dena- tured Alcohol in Great Demand in
 Parts of Russia.

The three substitutes for vodka which are most widely used in Rus sia are eau de cologne. furniture pol ish and denatured alcohol.
 Cologne IS not very popular. In the first place, it IS very expensive just now, and secondly, no matter what fayoring extracts are added to 1t, it is impossible to disguise the taste of the perfume.
 Furniture polish is more popular, but Is much harder to obtain. IL is impossible to buy 1t at present unless one presents a warrant from the po- hce stating that the buyer really Is eablnetmaker or carpenter.
 The polish Is distilled so as to separate the alcohol; sometimes it is merely stirred with flat stick until the shellae adheres to the latter.
 Far more widely used and a far more deleterious in its effect is the denatured spirit. This Is not wood alcohol, but pure spirit (95 per cent proof, with an admixture of wood alcohol, aoetone. kelone and a dash Of dye.
 Ihe admixture amounts 10 about , Der cent of the fluid volume. and Is supposed to render 1t impossible of use for drinking purposes. The in sentiye Russian. however, gets aneaans3 thls. x..rx cIeyerly
