6s1 STUDENTS IN JAIL
FOR LOVING TOlSTOY
From the New York World


Russia still has ISL students under
lock and key for expressing admira-
ton for Leo Tolstoy's works and grief
ct his death. They are treated as po-
sitical offenders and are cut off from
any communication with each other
Or their friends until their cases have
been prepared for the prosecution.
Possession Of Tolstoy's books, espe-
cially copies bearing the readers mar
sinal notes, Is considered especially in
eliminating.
Members of the League for the Abo-
.ition of Capital Punishment, which
grew out of Tolstoy's famous Thou
Shalt Not KILL" are threatened with
exile to Siberia.
The official newspaper Novoe Vrem-
va, warns all revolutionary people, in
cmding the Finlanders, that "Tolstoy's
death and the recent university trou-
Sles plainly show that infiammable ma
trials have not much chance under the
existing conditions and the recent
meeting of the car and Emperor Will
lam quenches all hope of getting any
thing from foreign Intervention"
Though the prophecies that these
events are the forerunners Of another
revolution undoubtedly overshoot the
mark, the breach between the authori-
ties and the community Is wider than
ever. Ten years ago the government
was more feared than hated; today 1t
Is more hated than feared.
Said a member of the duma to The
World correspondent: THE chief thing
which prevents an immediate revolu-
ton Is the lack of organization. Every
body who is not an official hates the
authorities and would overthrow them,
but everybody has a separate griev-
ance. Once they agree as to their pro-
gram the revolution will begin. How
long that will be cannot say"

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN The CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"roronto star,v Dec. 1sth. 1s1o.

49, ~'s~ Ss&'t SSSs toktty IOIUs
The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al.
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not BY
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
The wheat-growing capacity of the Ca.
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
Ing Of railways. The writer shows
how the position of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canadas wheat-grow
Ing belt is four times greater than
that Of the United States, and only
live per cent of Canada's western agri
cultural area is under cultivation
There are 170,O0000O acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, mors
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and 25 years more will
give this country 100000 popula-
lion west of Ontario.
All these estimates Of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
md tho /,f tvs, -.
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the Industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the increase Of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
VI the production Of wheat; for sin.
Gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. 1t IL
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat Is as yet far away.
BY methods Of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overflowing granary of Can
ada SO close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms Of
agriculture.
It must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
In climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you 60 south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best Of bond Of any government or
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
a profit Of from S. to $40 per acre.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, / always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that Of a lady friend
Of mine who, when a child, was af-
f1icted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. l told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
SueiSuio iNChcuiSo WuiCu CuISu ucT.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap ard
Ointment they were completely cured
My husband had rheumatism on his
arIa and / used the Cuticura Oint-
-
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side Of the nail was edgirg right
down in the side of my toe. l cut
the nail out Of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
it and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago l had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. l have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above

TicKLED A SLEEPY" MULE.

an Assignment He'll Use Dynamite.
From the Kansas City Star.
AS long as there is breath in a mules
body there Is one kick left. That is
what Newman Walsh, of st. Louis, a
student at the Kansas City Veterinary
college, found out several days ago.
Now he is In st. Mary's hospital under
the care OF DR.. w. III. Schultz, recover
ing from broken nose and an injured
eye.
The mulerout of respect for the Mis-
souri, mule 1t must be explained that 1t
came from Texas-was just able to
stand without props. Its ears had drop-
ped almost over its eyes, which were
closed. 1t appeared to be in dreamland.
1t had passed the quarter century mark
an age,
Walsh gave the mule several punches
In the ribs. The mule didn't even look
around to see what was going on. Then
Walsh gave it a kick. One ear pricked
up little. That was all.
Walsh had been around mules enough
to know that the surest way to start
real action was to tickle a mule around
its hind feet. He obtained broom and
administered q few tickles.
Then 1T happened. The mules hay
maker" caught the broom directly on
the sweeping part and drove the other
end across Walsh's nose and into his
left eye.
Walsh says the next time he is called
on to start" sleepy mule he will use
dynamite.
