o LIEBIG SAYS.

1t Is now possible to demonstrate
with mathematical certainty that, so
far as %enriching the blood is con-
cerned, the -four that will lie on the
point Of a knife affords more nour-
ishment than four measures of the best
Bavarian beer. Anybody who drinks
a measure Of beer daily would thus i'm
bibe in n year about as much nour-
ishment as Is contained in a pound Of
bread. This is the positive statement
made by Baron Won Liebig, after sci

THE BANKERS STANDPOINT.

The effect of prohibition Is well put
by Hon. Nicholas ~Iserguine, inspector
of state savings banks of the Russian
empire, who, while visiting in Chicago
gave an interview to the Daily News {:
"Our country Is bone dry to the ex-
tent that not even beer or mild wines
can be obtained. We are fighting In
the world war, with every available
man at the front, yet since the out
break of the war the deposits in our
state savings banks have increased
from $500, 900 rubles to 100000
600 rub1es.
THUS In deposits we have about
doubled in less than three years the
amount accumulated In % years previ-
Gus to the outbreak of the war, for
our state banks are about 10 years old.
This vast increase means nothing else
than the enrichment of the poorer
classes. They have become the capi-
talists through the mass of their saw
ings.
"There have been many other graft
flying results" he continued. Insanity
has decreased to n minimum. There
are almost no mental disorders among
the soldiers mt the front, whereas in
the Japanese-Russian war these formed
a serious problem. Most Of the Rus
sian homes are Of wood and in olden
days the fire menace was constant and
dreaded. COnfiagratiOns have been re-
duced 90 per cent I'm towns and cities.
"The Russian peasant was not n reg

pended his earnings about once a
month on an orgy which ended In deep

Every command Is divided into two
parts, or, into two separate commands.
The first is called the preparatory

execution.
The preparatory command is intend.

be given with a rising infection. for II

command Of execution or even exhibits

The command Of execution Is given
at the precise instant the movement Is
to commence.
While the tone Of the preparatory
command must be "animated," the
command Of execution Is required by
the infantry drill regulations to be
'more energetic"-"irm In tone and
brief" In other words and In plain,
unmllitary English, the command Of
execution must sound like a pistol shot
and authoritative In the extreme,
bringing instant obedience from the
soldier.
A short interval should always
elnpse between the preparatory com
mand and the command of execution.
In the drill regulations, the former Is
printed In black italics and the latter
In black capitals.

either by a whistle, the bugle, pre-

employed only when the commands pre-.

words, commands are of n limited and
more or less rigid nature. while spe.

constitute an order. This may be com

THE Wizard OF WiSeland."

The action of Act. / in The Wiz
ard of Wiseland," the big spectacular
musical extravaganza, which is due at
the Opera House, on Tuesday, October
- takes place on the Isle of Wise
land amid its mythical surround
ngs. There trees, flowers, animals and
rocks converse with men as brothers
and there, too. the rivers flow with
G4ampa gne. and the rain. WneA it
falls, furnishes ice-cream t. tnG
thirsty ground, but never mud.
To furnish appropriate scenery and
stage properties for the depletion OF
the strange sights and things en-
cOtrtered on its tabled shores, mere,
earthly men were forced to journey in
Imagination to the Isle OF NiSeland."
The scenic artist found his task a
comparatively easy one, for he had
to DO only with the outline OF form,
whereas. the designer of properties,
could rot be content with outline only
he had to fashion the Outlandish
living things into bulk and shape. The
greatest master of properties in Amer
lea Edward Siedle. of the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, New York, was,
therefore, selected for the task, and
how we'll he performed it will be

525 WARSHIPS LOST IN THREE
YEARS,

To impatient souls who have watch
ed vainly for three years for really
great na al battle, the information
that during that period the losses in
warships Of all kinds to all the bel
Hgerents amount to 525 will come as
sort Of revelation.
Figures compiled by the Army and
NAVY Journal show that Germany has
lost 10 ships. England 13l, France 40,
Turkey j., Austria 81, Italy %, Rus
STA q and Japan 10. The United States
has figured in no naval warfare, but
has one converted yacht and five gun
boats interned The Teutonic allies
have lost in all 267 Warships, while
our allies lost 2I>-nearly a draw.
An interesting fact is that while
Germany lost 81 ships by guntlre to
Great Britain's -, the submarines
have taken toll of ii British Warships
to Germany ~. 1t would appear that
the British navy eNcels in battle, the
German in stealth.
1t is idle, however, to attempt any
estimate OF the relative naval efficiency
of the belligerents from these figures.
The fact that the British navy is on
active sea duty, cruising. blockading,
trans i0rting troops, while the German
navy is coOped up behind sheltering
mines and guns, robs them OF much
significance The wonder is that I'M
der such conditions the Germans
should show such heavy losses as they
do 1t is notable, by the way, that no
figures as to the losses OF submarines
are given. That is the secret Of its
naval organization which Germany
most jeaiously guards.-New York
Sun.
