may work overtime in case of an "ex-
traordinary emergency" as provided
in the old law.

EXPECT DICTATOR next
Grand Duke Nicholas to Take SD.
Preme Military Command.
General Strike IIn. Bcen Calico
and the Next Few Days Nay Pro-
duce Great Changes.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-St. Peters.
burg was in darkness Friday night
The employees of the electric lighting
plants, always the earliest barometric
record of political conditions, ceased
work during the afternoon in obedi-
c1ce to the call for a general strike.
This call already has been obeyed by
1000 factory hands in the capital.
1t will be impossible, however, to pre-
dict the success Of this universal
political strike until Monday as the
woTkmel in St. Petersburg and the
provinces have two holidays, Saturday
which is the fete day of the dowagcr
empress and a great religious feast.
and their regular holiday Sunday.
The only other available index to
the situation are the railroads. Up
to 2 o'clock Saturday morning the
railroad men had net needed the call
for a general strike, except in the case
of an insignificant bobtail line running
to Sestroetzk and other shore resorts
in the vicinity of ST. Petersburg.
The men of this road barTicaded the
line with the result that they had an
unimportant collision with Cossacks
Friday night.
In the meantime the fate of the
Stolypin cabinet sways in the balance
and Russia is upon the verge of dis
orders which may lead either to the
reign of the military or the preletar-
lat 1t can be stated definitely that
the first step toward a dictatorship
may be taken Sunday or Monday by
the nomination of Grand Duke Mich
Olas to the chief command of all the
troops in Russia. This would virtual
~ place him in control of all the dis
turbed districts of the empire where
martial law has been proclaimed.
Pickets of cavalry and infantry
were the most conspicuous features
on the streets of st. Petersburg Fri
day night. Business houses gener-
ally have boarded up their windows
as they did in the days of the great
October strike. Practically all of the
street cars in the city have stopped
running, and the cab drivers are
threatening to cease work Saturday.
A dispatch received by the Associ-
ated Press from Sestroretz says that
heavy reinforcements are being
poured in there evidently in fear of
an attack upon the government cart
ridge and small arms factory located
in that suburb.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found a cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago. he writes, st be-
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, / have advised 1t in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief In ALL
Il write this that other children
may be benefited
How much better 1t is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural CON
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
I. It is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
list will tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, if they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.
