LIQUOR RESTRICTIONS IN
 SWEDEN ARE EXPENSIVE
Whis<ey and Soda, With Meal, Costs
 One Dollar.

Stockholm, July 24-Devotees of distilled liquors have fallen on evil ways in Sweden. Restriction after restriction has been placed on sales both over the bar and in bottles. Since June 1 1t has been impossible to be served with any kind of liquor with out an accompanying order for a warm meal costing about 40 cents. Even then no more than fifteen cen tiliters, about five fluid ounces, of H. quor may be served in all, and not more than third of this may con sist of the strong brandy which, in Sweden. has from time immemorial, taken the place of the. American pre- prandial cocktail.
 One result of the new order unques- tionably has been a great waste of food, for countless meals are ordered and either left untouched or also slightly toyed with and mixed with cigar and cigarette ashes by careless people. At the better class restau- rants and hotels, restrictive meals" corresponding to the property sand wich" of some American cities, are served These consist generally of one fried egg. Before the recent change in regulations, which prescribe a cooked, warm" meal, the "restric- tive meal' was wont to consist of an apple or few grapes.
 Drinking thus becomes an expen- sive luxury. To obtain one whiskey- and-soda, for instance, one pays, in the better places, the equivalent Of 40 cents for his meal" the same for whiskey, 35 acre for a bottle of selt- ger or soda, and a tip to the waiter. The total amounts to more than one dollar at the present rate of exchange.
 The restrictions on the sale of bot tied goods for home consumption are even less liberal. They grant to the privileged holders of the "motbok'' (passbookN the privilege of buying two quarts of spirits each three fl,. 1rfx fl llz I,,1 sumption of little more than two thirds of an ounce each day.

Care of Food in Summer.

The most serious damage to food in the home comes from foul and neglect ed ice boxes or refrigerators. Because of their heavy construction and usual location in dark corner, refrigerators are often overlooked. Dishes overturn or are pushed out of sight and are not discovered until the contents are well along the road to putrefaction. Every housewife or caterer should daily in spect the ice box and require it to be thoroughly and frequently cleansed- Do rot entrust this responsibility to ena- ployes-see to it yourself that all is ship shape, sweet and clean.

AMERICAN TAR ON TORPEDOED
 SHIP IS DEAD

London, Feb. 6-Richard Wallace or Baltimore, an American seaman among the crew of the British steam CT Eavestone, lest his life yesterday when a submarine, after sinking the Eavestone, shelled the boats in which the crew were escaping, according to an official Announcement last night. X
 Survivors of the steamship Fave stone, who landed yesterday" says the official bulletin, report that their ship was sunk by shell fire from a German submarine. The crew abandoned the sinking ship and were shelled in their boats by the sub- marine.
 The master and three seamen were thus killed, and the second mate was severely wounded. Among the killed was Richard Wallace of Balti- more"
 Second Relief Ship Sunk.
 Tn addition to the news that an American had been killed, deep in- terest was excited here by the post ing at Lloyds of the sinking of the Danish steamer Lars Kruse, off the Belgian coast, either by mine or torpedo. The Lars kruse was under charter by the Commission for Relief in Bel gium-the second relief ship to be sunk within a week-and she was carrying a cargo of wheat from the Argentine to Belgium.
 The Eavestone was a ship of 1,791 tons. The Lars Kruse was of 1,460 tons.
 In addition to the destruction of these ships, Lloyd's yesterday an- nounced the sinking of the British steamer Isle of Arran, 313 tons, two of her crew being wounded by shell fire; of the Russian four-masted bark Garnet Hill of 2.372 tons. and the British steamer Hurstwood, of 1,229 tons, torpedoed without warning. Three men of her crew were killed instantly, it was announced, and three others so badly hurt that two of them died later.
 Two on YarrOVdale Freed. c. D. Green and Charles Quinn, two American sailors captured on board the Yarrowdale by the German com- merce raider, arrived in London yes- terday and reported at the American Consulate. They were released, they said, because they had been among the crew of the Yarfowdale herself, which was not armed.
 They reported that in leaving the internment camp they brought with them the names of 89 other A1neri- can seamen held as prisoners there, but that this list had been taken from them by the German authorities at the frontier.

BERLIN IS CORDIAL TO ALL AMERICANS
 STILL IN CAPITAL

Berlin. Feb. 6, via L.ondon.-What- avnr r,av he, their feelings toward the United States. Germans in Berlin and, as far as has been heard outside the capital, have manifested ,considera- tion and courtesy toward Americans since the news was received of the breaking off of diplomatic relations. Aside from an. occasional frank com ment on the action of the Amerlcan government, no acts -of hostile or even an unfriendly nature have been reported so far and many Germans are going out of their way to show a friendly disposition toward Americans marponed here.
 The only difficulty that has been re- ported so far has been at one district headquarters of police which IS charged with vising passports to go abroad. Officials of the passport de- partmert refused to wise passports until the holders were able to show steamer tickets to America.
 On the other hanh the police in the main residential district are accepting return to America as an adequate reason for departure, but are insist ing that the customary interval of a fortnight for military investigation of the application cannot be waived. The foreign office, to which the American newspaper correspondents in a way are accredited, has shown every dis position to facilitate the departure of such correspondents as wish to- leave with Ambassador Gerard, expediting the formalities for the immediate de- parture of such families as are leav- ing immediately. The foreign office has expressed the desire to have as many American correspondents as possible remain after the departure of the ambassador, to maintain unofficial relations between the two peoples as long as war is avoided.
