Says Outlook is BBlack.

New York.-Count Ivan Tolstoi,
who was Russian Minister Of Educa-
ton in the Witte Cabinet, said: "The
election to the third Douma Of the
Empire now proceeding must settle
finally the question: Will the Con-
stitution which Russia still nominal
ly enjoys, continue and develop, OF
will it disappear, and with it the
hopes and expectations Of the last
two years.
1.-The outlook is extremely black.
1t is more than probable that the
third Douma, like its prede x:sso.s,
will be dissolved after a short session,
and that-unlke its predecessors
will have no successor. In that event
the Constitution, which even now is
merely nominal, will be formally abro-
gated and the autocracy revived in
name, as it has been In fact.

STEAMER SINKS
WITH TWENTY TWO
SECOND MATE WAS THE ONLY
SURVIVOR.
MACHINERY DEFECTIVE
It is the Belief that the Machinery
Must Have Met With an Accident,
AS the Storm Was Not q Severe
One.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich.-The steel
steamer Cypress owned by the Lacka-
wanna Transportation Company, and
on her second trip down the lakes
with a cargo of ore, was wrecked i'll
in Lake Superior off Deer Park, 30
miles from Grand Marais and all Of
the crew of % excepting the second
mate, were lost. He was washed
ashore near Deer Park dashed to i
life raft and barely alive. He is in a
critical condition and thus far has
been able to tell only that the steam
er was the Cypress and that he is the
sole survivor. Two bodies have also
been washed ashore at Deer Park.
The Cypress was new boat 440
feet long with capacity Of 7,400
tons. She had made but one trip to
the head of the lakes and bound down
on her second trip. 1t is believed here
that the machinery OF the Cypress
must have met with an accident as
the northwest storm was not severe
enough to wreck such strong ship.
Washington.-News of the steamer
Cypress disaster on Lake Superior
was telegraphed to the life saving

When the symptoms of the trouble

discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take food
in which the starch has been trans

This is identically the same form
OF sugar found in the human body

that it can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of its defama-

Golfers can not dodge this public

Public, will hardly blame us for not

No announcements during our en-
tire business career were ever made
claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal
effects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten
percent of New Orleans molasses.
The art Of preparing these simple ele-
ments in scientific manner to OBJ
tain the best food value and favour,
required some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes
far enough out of its way to attack
us because our advertising is med
ical," it simply offers a remarkable
exhibition of ignorance, or worse.
We do not claim physiological or
bodily results of favorable character
following the adoption OF our sug-
gestions regarding the discontinuance
of coffee and foods which may not be
keeping the individual in good health.
We have no advice to offer the per-
fectly healthful person. His or her
health is evidence in itself that the
beverages and foods used exactly fit
that person. Therefore. why change?
But to the man or woman who is
ailing, we have something to say as
result of an unusually wide expert
ence in food and the result of proper
feeding.

us in Golfers, appeared this state
