CAR WILL TAKE

Emperor Is Expected to Stir
New Activities.
SENDS MESSAGE TO POINCARE

Ruler of Russias IL Also Head of
Church and Will Appeal Strongly. to
Religious Enthusiasm-Grand Duke
Nicholas Position Is Not Known
Great strateqist.
Paris, Sept. 8.---Emperor Nicholas,
the Great White Car of all the Rus
sians" and more in the military sense,
as it appeals to his soldiers, the con-
secrated head Of the church, is to
take personal command of his armies
in the field.
This announcement was made in a
message to President Puincare from
the emperor himself.
Whether he will succeed his cousin,
the Grand Duke Nicholas, is not made
clear in the communication, but that
the presence of the car in the field
in his dual capacity as emperor and
vicar Of the deity will stir the army
to new life is undoubted.
In command of the Russian armies
since the beginning Of the war Grand
Duke Nicholas has achieved fame,
and military critics not only of Rus
STA, but of other nations, have rated
him as one Of the ablest generals Of
the warning nations. Although the
grand dukes armies have suffered a
long series of reverses since the be-
ginning of the great Austro-German
offensive movement, in May, their
leader has been credited with con
spicuous strategic successes during
this period, as well as in the earlier
part of the war, when he was leading
his armies forward VIGOROUSLY.
His main accomplishments were
the extrication of the bulk of his
forces from the Austro-German envel-
oping movements in Galic1a, and later
in Russian Poland, when he again
drew out his armies, this time from
the dangerous Warsaw salient.
War Conduct Criticised.
During the last few weeks there
has been severe criticism of the con
duct of the war by the Russian au-
thorities. The minister Of war, Gen
eral Soukhomlinoff, resigned and the
formation of coalition government
has been under discussion The source
Of dissatisfaction, however, has been
principally the inadequate supply OF
munitions of war, and SO far as the
cable dispatches from Russia have
shown there has been no criticism OF
the grand duke in this connection.

HEALTH BENEFIT OF YAWNING
Expert Advises Regular Exercises ~
q Measure for Doing Away With
Throat and Ear Troubles.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides having
a salutary effect in complaints of the
pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawn-
ing is the most natural form of res
piratory exercise, bringing into &C
ton all the respiratory muscles Of
the neck and chest. II is recon-
mended that every person should
have good yawn with the stretching
of the limbs morning and evening for
the purpose of ventilating the lungs
and tonifying the respiratory muscles
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles. and says that patients suffer
ing from disorders of the throat have
derived great benefit from IL. He says
he makes his patients yawn. by sug
gestion or imitation, or by series OF
deep breaths with the lips partly
closed.
The yawning is repeated six or
seven times. and should be followed
by swallowing BY this process the
air and mucus in the eustachian tubes
are aspirated.

Flora ecstatically, and jumped to the

He did not reply, but his eyes met

self as well. He seemed about to
speak. The memory of what had fol-
lowed an offer Of marriage caused
Prescott to control his deep emotion.

wrapped up in little Flora, who, hav-

much she had told Prescott in answer
to his offer of marriage.

He was persistent in his attention
to Lydia. He was a man about town,
with unknown antecedents. Prescott
had experienced relief and satisfaction
when a servant of the house, with
whom he was a favorite, told him of
the summary dismissal of his rival

tuned Lydia to accept him as her hus-
band. She had given him the same
answer that Prescott had received:

feeling against her, not only on the

and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied practically
Independent position during the presi-
dents absence.
In spite of the heads precautions
the story of the theft leaked out. In
sensibly the suspicion of the Office
force was directed toward the occu-

There was, in reality, little room for
