OCEANS OF VODKA, BUT
NOT A DROP TO DRINK.
Russia, Now Dry, Seeks Uses For
260,000,000 Gallons In Stock.
What can be done with the 200,000.
OOu gallons of vodka now held ia stol;
by the lir.fsian government as a cone-
pien r-e of the prohibition of the sale
of the spirit?
This was the subject of an interest
ing debate at a recent session of the
duma. Some members favored destroy
ing the stocks, others wanted indus
trial uses found for the vodka, and all
agreed that the stocks must not re
main in existence as a temptation to
some reactionary finance minister to
reopen the monopoly and sale after the
war.
The present finance minister. Bark,
in concluding the debate made this
momentous declaration:
"I deem it necessary to declare cate
gorically that all suspicions ascribing
to the government any intention of re
suming the state sale of lienors are un
founded. I declare categorically that
the government will encourage temper
ance after the war, also, and that any
return to the old state of affairs is im
possible. Proof of this intention is the
faet that the government is now en
gaged in drawing up a bill on lines
suggested by forty-five members of the
duma for the maintenance of temper
ance for all time. This bill already
has met with the sympathy of the en
tire council of ministers, and vodka, in
a'cordauce with the czar's wish as ex
pressed to me, will be totally prohibit
ed forever. For this reason 1 am en
tirely in favor of destroying the exist
ing stock of vodka."
In the course of further remarks M.
Bark indicated a scheme for the utili
sation of the spirit for technical pur
poses. His ministry, ho said, already
had announced a series of prizes for
inventions having for their object the
adaptation of the spirit to technical
purpor.es and had issued a pamphlet on
the ife of the spirit for motorcars and
a prepared combination of the spirit
and benzine for the use of motorists.
Further, the ministry had decided to
make a graift of ;:0,oOO (about $1.30,
(:x) for the erection of a factory for
manufacturing artificial India rubber
out of the spirit on a system invented
by Ostroruyslensky, and measures
would be taken for increasing the de
gree of inethylation of existing stocks.
M. Bark, in conclusion, agreed to
grant 100.W0 (about $300.0o0t to the
temperance societies. He announced
that no fewer than 4S.000 salesmen of
votlka already had been discharged,
and that a large number of the remain
ing 8,000 had gone to the war.

AUSTRIA USES WOODEN SHOES
Dutch Footwear, Made Necessar
High Cost of Leather, Is Popular.
Wooden shoes are becoming popul
in many parts of Austria, and, while
nnaccustomed to this kind of footwear,
the people, says the Reichspost of Neu
hammer, "walk in them perfectly, and
the children run and jump in them as
though it were a real pleasure."
The high price of leather has brou&ht
about this change, and many factories
in the villages of Furstenhut and Aus
seigefiekl are turning out large quan
tities of wooden shoes. The shoes are
made from beechwood and pine and
can be had at as low a price as 20
cents. They are said to be very warm.

Master Wiliard Wise, so?i of Mr.

that going to school as his mother bade
him was not at all the thing and so
instead he went off to seek his fortune
in a more agreeable way via the B. z
M. to Omaha. Arrived there, he did
not find that his intended destination,
the barracks, was so easy for a small
boy to find alone as when accompanied
by some older and more knowing head
to pilot the way, so taken in charge
by a policeman, he spent the night in
the Emigrant House, and returned
with his father, who had gone up for
him on the early train, a sadder and
wiser boy, who had learned that school
after all wasn't the worst place in the
world, by ary means, and that on the
high roads of travel, fortunes and bar
racks didn't always appear at com
mand.
