RUSSIA NEW OUTIlEr
 FOR AMERICAN PRODUCTS

London, Sept. 18.@The St. Peters burg correspondent of the Times sends an interview with M. Sazonoff, the Russian Foreign Minister:
 The present situation,'' said M. Sa- zonoff, furnishes the greatest com mercia1 opportunity to England and America that has been offered Ger many for years past has been vigor- ously pushing her trade in all quar- ters of the Russian Empire. She now sells us $500, 900, 900 worth of pro- duets yearly. These enormous mar kets in machinery, chemicals and all sorts of manufactures are now sud denly cut off from her
 America and England should send experts here now while the war is in progress to study our wants, import duties and methods of business, so that when peace comes the channels which for decades have flowed deeply with German products will continue to flow deeply. with English and Ameri- can products.
 For America especially Russia opens an industrial outlet such as can hardly be overestimated. We have an empire of 17o.00o,ooo souls, and what we have been paying Ger many yearly is but the beginning of a demand that soon will make Russia among the most desirable and va1u- able markets in the world.
 s"Railroad building and new develop era of prosperity in this country such as never has been seen here before. I cannot too. emphatically express the hope that merchants abroad will real ize this wonderful opportunity and act promptly"

NEW HAVEN R. R. PLEADS as STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
 BARS ANTITRUST SUIT
Contends That All Transactions Took Place Three Years Before Action.

In answers filed in. the United States district court yesterday the New Ha- ven railroad admits the allegations made by the government in it's recent Sherman law dissolution suit in so far as those allegations charge the own. ershtp or control of trolley lines, steamboat companies and other rail- roads, in HQew England. The absorp- tdon Of these properties, the answers insists, was necessitated by local con- ditions, and has never brought about an unreasonable restraint of trade. The answers are emphatic in their reprdtatton of the charge that any unlawful or unethical methods were employed in the acquisition of these various subsidiaries. This denial . is regarded by some as an indication that the New Haven. while adhering to its plan of undergoing a voluntary dissolution of its system, is at the same time tntrenching itseR against any criminal attack on the part of the government
 It was announced hast August that an agreement had been reached be- tween the government and the New Haven officials for a settlement of the suit out Of court It was made clear by the department of justice, however, that any such plan would not stand in the way of the governments dnten- t1on of presenting to tho federal grand jury in this district charges against the men who are said to be responsible for the New Havens condition
 All the properties of the New Haven system the answers state were ac- Qa1tred t-in accordance with and sub 1ect to the express provisions of the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. and in ac- cordance with the public policy of those states
 Tho answers also show a, tendency on the part of the defendants to in- woke the statute of limitations as a last resort. They say that all the transactions referred to in the govern nnent's petition took place more than three years prior to the suit and are barred from proceedings by the laws Of the United States as well as the failure of the department of justice to act in the various instances.
 The answers filed yesterday repre- sent the Joint defence of the New Ha- ven and the New England Naviga- tion Go. to the dissolution suit The answers of the other defendants will be filed later. They state that there was no Unreasonable restraint of trade or competition within d flair or proper meaning Of the anti-trust law The combination Of the various troll ley, steamboat and railroad lines was essential for the good of the service and in the interest Of the public, 2 they say The combination was aIsos neces- sary to the existence Of the New Ha- ven and enabled 1t to compete with larger corporations.
 During the past ten years. the New Haven says it has reduced its Freight rates to such an extent that the amount saved by shippers in the year 1912 was $1 800, GOO This fact taken in conjunction with the increase in wages, taxes and other additional ex- psnses due to federal legislation the defendants declare, has created the necessity for greater revenue from the freight and passenger service

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW.

Laymen on more than one occa-
sion have reflected that the rule OF
Justice that ignorance of the law
excuses no man was a harsh one
But man made law is no more Sc
we're in this respect than natural
law. In natural law, this rule OF
justice is not even tempered with
mercy, it is enexorable.
In the matter of health, it is eX-
emplified every day. Physicians and
scientists have known for many
years that epidemics and scourges
were no mere accidents. Always
there is cause. And likewise with
individuals. Sickness doesn't just
happen. Always there has been a
violation of some law of health and
the best cure is a speedy harmony
with the law, If it is known or can
be ascertained. In consequence, the
free medical advice that is given in
board of health bulletins, etc. Here
is bunch of health observations
from the latest bulletins of the Kan
sas State Board Of Health, that ev-
eryone should read and heed.
Many of us dig our graves with
our teeth.
Water Is the best kidney medi.
cine" the Lord or any one else ever
made.
Don't hibernate, ventilate. Plenty
of fresh air will make the fires OF
life burn brightly.
Health is natures reward fol
getting in harmony with her laws;
1t pays to be law abiding.
Sins against our physical bodies
bring their own reward. Moreover
nature takes no account of the fact
that we have not been aware OF the
physical laws which we have brok-
en.-Ex.

LITTLE WOMEN,
A Vital, Wholesome Play Coming to
the Grand, March 9th, for Matt
nee and Evening Performance.

There is nothing of the problem
or punch in Little Women" the
dramatization of Louisa NJ. Alcctt S
wOrld-famous story which come to
the Grand opera house, Monday
March 8, matinee and evening.
1t is quaint, simple play of the
sort that goes straight to the heart
and grips an audience until the last
line is spoken. IT leaves no bad
taste but rather regret that COOL
night has been said to the March
girls-the most l,vable stage family
that the public has ever known
Without the problem" and the
punch" Little Women" was some.
what of a curiosity to New Workers
when William A. Brady offered the
production at his Playhouse in West
4Sth Street last winter. The crino-
lines, the old-fashioned furniture
and the quaint wall pictures seemed
strangely out of place in the luxuri-
Gus surroundings of the metropolitan
theatre but no more so than did
Meg, 10, Beth and Amy when their
manners and their gowns were con-
trasted with those of the women who
Cooked to see them.
But Little Women" was more
than novelty. 1t was vital,
wholesome play. 1t remained at the
Playhouse all winter and brought
money in golden stream to the Bra
dy Golfers. Today it is regarded as
the most valuable theatrical proper
ty in America and it's success has in
spired other managers to turn their
attention to the production of clean
plays. Students of the drama say
Little Women" has accomplished
more in the practical uplift of the
stage than any event of recent years.
Only when sweet little Beth is
waited away upon the Death is there
a touch of sadness in the story, the
tranquility of the March family
semitic, old-fashioned home life of
