"mooNsHINEv IN FAR NORTH
"sourdouoh" and "Hootehlnoo" Are
Two Intoxicating Beverages popu-
lar With Many In Alaska.

In Alaska the white man who
spends more than a year in that ter
ritory is called "Sourdough," but
the same name is in popular use to
designate the favorite intoxicating
drink Of that region. "Hootchinoo"
is the name Of more artistic bever-
age distilled from sourdough A
correspondent Of the New York Med
ical Record, resident in Alaska, gives
some information regarding these
drinks. Sourdough is made by mix
ing very thin dough Of -four and
water, adding yeast and setting
aside to fcrment. The fermentation
is FASTENED by setting the vessel in
a warm place. 1t is said that the
addition Of molasses to the ferment-
ing mass makes'a stronger prepara-
ton. The mass has sour smell,
hence the name This liquid is more
intoxicating than beer, snd the laws
Of Alaska prohibit its manufacture.
The art of making sourdough is be-
lieved to have originated in Kam-
chatka, across the Bering sea, whence
it spread to the American territory.
To make "hootchinoo," the distilled
sourdough, requires a distilling APP
paratus This is made by taking two
coal-oil cans and connecting them
with pipe. The sourdough is boiled
in one and as the vapor goes over it
is condensed by ice in the other. In
the absence of a connecting pipe
gun barrel is used. The correspond
ent says there are many houses in
Alaska where this Arctic circle
moonshine is made.

LOVED BY ALL GOOD LlvtRs
Oyster Has Been Fsvorite With

There are 20 kinds Of oysters in
the world and all Of them are good
So far as the records 20, the first
man who said oysters should only be
eaten in r months was Butler. In
"Dyet's Dry Dinner" which APP
peared little more than three CEN
turies ago. it was written:
cit is unreasonable and unwhole-

r in their name to eat an oyster"
Bismarck was champion long
distance oyster consumer. He ate
six dozen at sitting.
They began eating oysters long be.
fore the Christian era, but Swift
said: "He was bold man that first
ate an oyster"
There are enough oysters eaten
each year throughout the world to
feed every person, in the United
States a hundred. In other words
more than thirty million bushels.
Five out of every six oysters are
American.
The oyster is the most valuable
commercial product that comes out

The doctors of New York have de-
cided to charge their patients for re-
ports and inquirers over the phone,
any reference to professional busi-
ness costing the patient ST. A sick
man usually puts himself in the hands
of his physician, who is himself the
Judge of how often he should call. If
he.feels any interest in his patient, he
should want to know what effect his
medicine has had. To charge for such
reports from the source of his reve-
nue. shows a spirit that fortunately has
not struck this part of the country.

Ancient Superstition.

The superstition about spilling salt
at the table is ancient. In Leonardo da
Vinci's picture Of the Last Supper Ju-
das has upset the salt cellar by an awk-
ward movement of his elbow. The su-
perstition was current then--in 1893
when the picture was painted. The
probability is that it dated back 10 the
earliest century of the Christian era.

ADVANCED RATE PLEAS
Considering Question of Granting
Increases of Is to 21 Per Cent
Asked by Railroads.

Preliminary proposals of virtually all
railroads of the country for fiat freight
rate increases ranging between Is and
.2l per cent. were weighed today by
the interstate commerce commission.
together with a multitude of protests
against higher rates telegraphed by
shippers, commercial organizations and
allied interests
The first question to be decided by
the commission is whether it shall
modify its rules under which proposed
tariff increases might be suspended for
many months pending investigation.
Southern and southwestern lines yes
terday Joined the eastern and western
railroads in asking such modifica-
tion, and probably within the next ten
days roads in all sections will file
formal applications for fiat rate in
creaSeS.
Eastern lines announced they would
ask for 10 per cent increases. Western
roads indicated their request would be
for Is per cent also. Five southwest
ern lines submitted figures showing
their higher operating expenses de-
manded rate increases ranging between
IS and 21 per cent. southern roads
will decide on their figure Friday.
Another move planned by the rail-
roads is to seek higher intrastate
freight rates later from every state
utilities or railroad commission in the
country.
Passenger rates would not be changed
under the present action.

Addressing himself specifically to the
question, '1s the National Guard worth
preserving?" Gen. Mann. chief of the War

When one considers that the mem

the only citizens who have made an
organized effort to provide the govern

an emergency to back up the small reg
one answer as far as the personnel is
concerned. They should have all praise,
and the militia bureau has gone on
record as opposing legislative effort to
abolish the National Guard as a system
until something better is actually sub
stituted. The general staff, in recently
proposing a plan for universal training,
has endeavored to provide a place for
all of the National Guard who desire to
continue their laudable efforts to serve
the nation in building up dependable
military force.
AS to the system itself being worth
preserving. l will answer by saying
that II may be worth while for state
purposes, but not for federal.
THE dual control of federal mill
tary force negatives at once its attain
ing a real efficiency for federal military
purposes. Cease for moment to think
about the National Guard and imag-
ine our regular army under a system

Men Now Military Asset.

The material benefits of the mobiliza-
ton and the training are beyond valua-
ton. The National Guard. which has been
to the border, has received more actual
benefit that could have been gotten in
many years of training under normal Ma
tional Guard conditions, and those men
are today greater military asset as a
reserve to the regular army than fur
nished by the entire war with Spain
.All honor to the men and officers of

conclusion Let us get together and do

not, do all that we are able to develop

NEW YORK. March 2S.-The National
Guard Associations national defense
council. which began its sessions yes
terday. has developed some wide diff
ferences of opinion, but the delegates
nope TO agree before the convention
adJourns tomorrow upon some recon-
mendation for universal military train
ing Speakers representing the regular
army and the militia unite in advocat-
Ing universal training system, but
while the army officers favor federal
control the national guardsmen favor
the retention. in principle. at least. of
the present militia system under con-
troll of the states.
Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, commander
of the New York National Guard. said
the guard favored a system bearing
some relation to Swiss universal serv-
ice. He declared that the regular army
is not the proper organization upon
which to build new system.
Is the only army man who thus far
has expressed himself in favor of re-
tanning the National Guard system. He
said the tendency toward centraliZa-
tion in Washington "opens the door
possibly for some future usurper or
autocrat."

United States were drawn into the war.
I'VE will not act on the defensive, but
will pursue an effective, strong, Of

had been stated there were no trained
men in this country. He declared. how
ever, there were at least 100000
Americans, not including those in the
regular army, the National Guard and
various schools and colleges now, who
had had military training. In addition,
he added, there are nearly 100000 men
in America who have had all the drill
and training and discipline and expert
ence that could be given them in the
European armies"

Maryland also spoke. His subject was

Maj. Gen. Charles NJ Clement, in COM
mand of the National Guard of Penn

convictions to military service ito do
