It nhould be noticed that ntthouRh
thero aro nil theno sources uf supply
In tho northern Russian towns liquor
Is cither troublesome or costly to ob
tnln or both. Tho town peasant may
obtain only BtuE that often poisons
tho consumer.
Few of the vlllngos of Kusula aro
without tholr Illicit liquor brcwora or
diitillora but tholr output Is so un-
pleasant to drink and bo delotorloua
that It aproals to only a fow of tho
rlllAgo'a hopeless old drunkards.
When you roallzo that vlllago liquor
In Russia today consists of such bov-
rages as donn-turnllzcd nlcohol with
tobacco and popper; varnish soaked
through bread; and peppered benzine
(those drinks woro among tho dhtcov-
orloB rccontly mndo by an ofllclal In-
vestigation of tho Volhjnlu zomstvo)
you hardly wonder that tho illicit dis-
tillers often hnvo boon drummed out
of tho villago by their half polsonod

CIGARETTE SMOKING

Thoy are going tho limit In dry
Oklahoma. The prediction that pro-
hibition of liquor would be followed
by the prohibition of tobacco Is
borne out by this Associated Press
dispatch from Oklahoma City:
A law under which the smoking
of a cigarette In Oklahoma would
make the omokcr liable to arrest Is
In prospect.
