Reforming "A Nation

v ~ y.
EVEN in the midst of German intrigue, inn
~ poral treachery, the sway of mystics, bung.
ling generalship and the groupings Of Legislative
body that was craniped and hndered, Russia went
about her great task OF creating sober nation
in constructive as well as a restrictive way. The
task Of creating a substitute for the vodka shop
was undertaken as soon as the prohibition ukase
was issued, and today the provisional government
Us carrying on this task. g..
This Is announced in the report from Petro-
grad that the zemsyoS county councils have been
authorized to take over the work OF the Guard
ianships OF Public Sobriety." These guardian
ships" are a creation OF the late Count Sergus
Mitte Russia's daring minister of finance When
Nrtc in 1895 appropriated to the state without
compensation all private vodka saloons, and pro-
iclaimed the state to be sole rehner, rect6er and
retail seller of Spirits, he declared that his ulti-
mate aim was TO reduce the consumption of vodka
lie reasoned that the state il it lost revenue
through decline of consumption, would gain rere-
rue from other sources owing to the increase in
the populations economic productiveness.
In order to diminish intemperance, the state, he
declared, must provide rational amusements and
recreations for the workman and peasant. This
was all the more necessary because the state liquor
monopoly law forbade drinking in saloons and
thereby destroyed the working man only social
club. The state, which even early in the mono
poly's history was making a net profit Of $780,
100000 Tin addition to excise duty, was to subsi-
die the new amusements and reCreatiOns.
No state except Russia ever conceived such a
comprehensive scheme of temperance propaganda.
But the guardianship had only qualified success.
In accord with the old bureaucratic system, the
members were recruited mainly from official cir
Giles, backed by the church and the army. indie
pendent social workers and experts, especially
those with liberal political ideas were excluded,
At the same time the monopoly failed from every
standpoint except that of state finance Count
Witte had passed local option law giving the
peasant communes the right to petition in favor
OF the closing of the local state drink saloon, but
in practise the state ignored the petitions.
Though hampered by this, the guardianship did
some good work, They created many scores Of
Peoples Theaters, established libraries, dissent
nated kanti-drink literature, and organized thou
fsands5o Of concerts and lectures But Russian
society held suspicously aloof and demanded re-
form of the guardianship on democratic lines The
guardianship never took deep root a social
institution. Under the new regime they are like
y to be abolished, and replaced by a temperance
propaganda and by working class recreation work
on democratic lines.

after the war department has settled
the question of age limitations. Regu-
lar army officers are equally uncertain
concerning their future in this war.

bled the war department not to send
for duty in France any officer of the
United States Army or the national
guard who is over forty-fve years of

ing has reached the conclusion from oh
servatiOp and from conferences with
military officers of the Allied armies
that men above forty-fve' years of age
cannot stand the duties imposed on
them at the front.
Should the war department adopt
General Pershing's view, it will neeesr
state an altogether new detail of Off
GERS for foreign duty, as it is known
many men past fortyfve years had al.
ready been slated for commands of bri-
gadesy regiments and divisions to be

Avoid Filthy Hog WaIIows.

Louisiana club boys are encouraged
to construct wooden or concrete wal
lows for their pigs and to keep them
in reasonably clean condition. These
are made by digging a shallow hole.
big enough for the pigs to lie in, u.s.
ing concrete for the sides and bottom
and plastering it onto the earth. 1t Is
a good plan also to put in drain Sc
that the water may be readily chang
ed. The hogs thereby have access to
plenty of good water during the hot
summer months, which is essential TO
a thrifty condition, without having 20
use the muddy and filthy wallow holes
that are so common over the country
and which are often the means of
spreading contagious diseases, espe-
cially cholera.
In addition to making hogs more
comfortable, these wallows can be used
to rid them of lice and fieas. To do
this, cover the surface of the water
with about half an inch Of crude oil.
When the pigs go into the water they
will become covered with oil and the
vermin will be killed.-W. H. Balls
