cations for q patent, but from time to
timc BartonNlt is charged would sec

HERMIT MURDERED 20 WOMEN.
A Russian Monk Is Sent to Prison foI
Long List Of Crimes.

Verkhoturye, Perm, Russia, Feb. 2S
The circuit court of this town on
Thursday meted out partial justice to
monk named Feodotoff whose crimi.
nal life was revealed last fall, by sen.
fencing him to penal servitude for 15
years.
Feodotoff came to Verkhoturye about
two years ago and set up a shrine in
a neighboring forest, where he lived
as a hermit. He soon attained a great
reputation for marvellous cures and his
little chapel in the woods became the
objective for pilgrimages from all
parts of the province of Perm.
The monk enjoyed great reputation
for sanctity, but when the revelations
came it was learned that his holy ways
and words We're nothing but a cloak
for robbery, murder and debauchery
Of every kind. The repeated disap.
pearance of female pilgrims who visit.
ed the monks chapel finally attracted
the attention of the authorities and in.
vestigation disclosed the bodies of 20
victims whom Feodotoff had assaulted
and murdered and then buried in the
cellar of his house. The charge of
sacr.lege, in that he had stolen the
sacramental vessels from churches and
monasteries, also was established
against the hermit.

Do You Deliberately Torture Yourself
Alive by Neslectins Your Stomach
Remedy Free for the Asking.

= A great outcry has arisen during
the last few years against scientists
who torture dumb animals alive in
the interests of science. How many
people are there. however, who need
lessly torture themselves by causing
their stomachs to overwork Dys-
|pepsia, Indigestion, heartburn, sleep
lessness, loss of vim and energy are
the inevitable result.
Are you one of these?
Why not give your stomach a rest :?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will re-
'lieve your stomach of all its work
and do II for you. They are COM
pounded of the very elements and do
the work which the stomach per-
forms when in normal health. aseptic

gradients.
DR.. Richardson, in writing thesis
on treatment OF dyspepsia and iTdi-
gestion. closes his remarks by saying
isFor those suffering from acid dys-
pepsia, shown by sour, watery ris-
ings orss for flatulent dyspepsia,

ing. as well as for all other forms

Cheap cathartic medicines claiming

any cathartic medicine a cure for
