Howard Shute and Crew Battle With Waves A.. Night When Engine of Power Boat Breaks Down. ‘While the crew of the Quonochon- taug life saving station remained aQn the watch all Tuesday night, ready to render assistance, and <Capt. Davis and crew of two surfmen from the Watch Hill life saving * station searched the waters between Watch Hill and Quonochontaug in their pow- er lifeboat, Howard Shute of West Mystic and crew of two men bhad a battle for their lives in a heavy sea aboard ‘Mr. Shute’s 28-foot power cruiser. The engine of the cruiser had broken down, but after laboring over the ma- chinery for nearly 24 hours Mr. Shute and his companions were able to get a. kick out of the engine and made a harbor early Wednesday morning at Mystic after spending the night in the lee of a point on the Rhode Island shore southwest of the Watch Hill sta- tion. r. Shute and his companions lefi West Qlystic early Tuesday morning for a day’s fishing off Block Islani. When several miles from the fishing grounds the engine became disabled. After working all day, drifting in the meantime close to the Rhode Island shore, the men despaired of starting the engine. ‘The boat was sighted late in the af- terncon by Captain Wilcox of the Quornochontaug life saving station, aud he and two surfmen set out in-a sur’- boat to give what assistance they could. The men aboard the power boat refused to come off, and the sea was so rough that Captain Wilcox and his men could not tow the little cruiser to_a safe anchorage. Returning to shore, Captain Wilcox telephoned to Captain Davis of the Watch Hill station. The latter put out at 3 o'clock in the power lifeboat at- tached to the station. As the men on the disabled boat were not (buraing distress signals, it was impossible for Captain Davis to locate them, and at- ter cruising until 11 o'clock he and his men were obliged to put in at Ston- ington, the sea at that time being so rough that Captain Davis 1efused to take any further chances. The disabled cruiser when last seen was headed toward Block Island. ‘Wednesday morning at & Captair Da- vis drove his boat to Block Island, only to learn that nothing had becn seen of the boat. A run to Mystic revealed the fact that the men had safely made a harbor there. Mr. Shute and his companions were nearly exhausted when they dropped anchor at Mystic. They had worked nearly 24 hours over their engine ba. fore they could get it started, an: while they had plenty of food and wa- ter on board, their battle with the waves Tuesday night, which broke time and time again over the boat and threatened to swamp them before they were able to reach a lee shore, left them in a weakened condition.

Minor crimes and misdemeanoys have almost vanished Miracle Accomplished by One Man. This miracle has been virtually ac- complished by one man. He is Michael D. Tchelisheff, a peasant by birth, originally a house painter by profes- sion, then mayor of the city of Samara apd now a millionaire. P! ically he is a giant, standing over feet, four inches in his stocking feet and of pow- erful build. ATthough he is 55 vears old, he looks much younger. His movements display the energy of youth, his eyes are animated and his bla hair is not tinged by gray. In Petrograd Mr. Tchelishefl is gen- erally found in a luxurious suite of rooms in one of the best hotels, He goes about clad in a blue blouse with a tasselled girdle and baggy black breeches tucked into heavy boots, He offers his visitors tea from a samovar and fruit from the crimea. Speaking of what he accomplished for the cause o!'hiqcbriety in Russia, M. Tchelisheft said: “I was reared in a small Russian village. There were no schools or hospitals, or any of the improvements we are accustomed to in civilized com- munities. I picked up an education from old newspapers and stray books. One day I chanced upon & book in the hands of a Moujik which treated of the harmfulness of alcohol. It stated, among other things, that vodka was a poison. I was so impressed with this, knowing that everybody drank vodka, that T asked the first physician I met it the statement were true. He said yes. Men drank it, he explained, be- cause momentarily it gave them a sensation of pleasant dizziness. From that time I decided to take every op- portunity to discover more about the use of vodka. Drinking Men Destitute—Abstemious Well Provisioned., ““At the end of the '80s there came famine in Russia followed by aggarian troubles. I saw a crowd of peasants demand from a local landlord all the grain and foodstuffs in his granery. This puzzled me; I could not under- stand how honest men were indulging in what seemed to be highway rob- bery. But I noted at the time that every man who was taking part in this incident was a drinking man, while their fellow villagers who were abstemious had sufficient provisions in their own homes. Thus it was that I observed the industrial effects of vod- ka drinking. What Caused Decision to Fight Vodka. “At Samara I decided to do more thap passively disapprove of vodka. At ‘this time I was an alderman and many of the tenants living in my houses were working men. One night 2 _drunken father in one of my houses killed his wife. This incident made such a terrible impression on me that I decided to fight vodka with all my strength.” CONSTIPATION Is the big trouble in eve: . g o Ty serious — cal depression of spirits, irritability, nervousmess, imy vision, of memo: : sleep, loss of tite, etc.—stop R . it wil Pursly vegetable.
