An lmpres.ion of Gorkv.

tOnce when was singing In Nfjai early in the morning. ?, said Chaliapine, Russians greatest singer. T looked out and saw Gorky standing at window in the same hotel, and gazing silently over the city. The sun was shining on the towers of the churches, over the silver river and turning the roofs red. You are up early.' said Yes he answered, Come in my rooms for moment, When reached his window saw that he had tears in his eyes, and did not understand Look he said to me, how beautiful it is Just the world and not human being any where. The humanity which has made its gods and it's laws, built it's houses and it's churches, all asleep and help less as children, powerless to change or adjust all this that it has made
 He spoke very softly and very sweetly, and, for the moment, he seem ed to me the most perfect human be ing in the world. Truly one of Rus sia's flowers of genius. s."-Craftsman

It is said one entire battalion was annihiIated in an attack on the allied left wing and that in another engage- menf the British lost heavily both in men and war munitions.
 Reports reaching London from the DardaneIIes say the bom< bardment by the allied fleet of the Turkish Qualifications ispro-E ceeddng successfully. Some of the forts at Chanek and Kilad Bahr and probably others on both sides of the straits up to the narrows are said to have been silenced
 The exact status of affairs in the great battle of western Cali , cia. remains in doubt German and Austrian reports of a spec tacuIar victory are increasingly resistance of the Russians is be- Ing broken down steadily and in a precarious situation. .Petro- grad advlces howevefa while con- ceding q measure of success to the Teutonic allies, say these claims are greatly exaggerated.
 The Russian war office an-l nouncesa victory in a battle near Stry, inE the Carpa thlans further east than the zone of the present main battle.
 Hopes that Italy would settle peacefully her differences with Austria apparently are fading as rapidly as they were revived a few days ago. The Austria gov ernment is reported to have in- formed Italy Of the extreme con- sessions it is willing to make and Austrians and Germans in Rome are represented as having lost confidence in a favorable out come. A German school in Rome was closed on receipt of tele- gram from Berlin and the exodus Of Germans from Italy is con- tinuing in increasing numbers Austria is making energetic mil dtary preparations for a possible attack by Italy.

 The recipient of the Victoria cross is CIV G. and nobody sees anything strange in that. It is curious to recall the difficulties Queen Victoria felt upon the point when the V. O. was in stituted "The queen thinks,' she wrote to Lord Panmure, ''that the per sons decorated with the Victoria cross might very properly be allowed to bear some distinctive mark after their name. ** V. c. would not do. K c means a Knight of the Garter, c. B. a Companion of tho Bath, M P. a Mem Der of Parliament, M. D. doctor of medicine, etc, in all eases designating a person. No one could be called Victoria cross. v. C., moreover, means vice chancellor at present. D. V. O.. decorated with the Victoria cross) or B. V. c. Cbearer of the Victoria cross) might do. The queen thinks the last the best. "-Ilondon Mirror.

Speed of Animals.

It is believed that no animal has ever exceeded the speed which can be attained by the horse. Instantaneous photographs of one famous specimen showed the full length of a complete stride to be about twenty-six feet The hare has not, in reality, the speed Of the dog. The dog. on the other hand, does not attain the speed of the horse. The giraffe is said to run at the rate of fifteen yards per second un- der the most favorable conditions. The elephant, going at the rate of two yards second, carries a weight ap- pro11mating to that carried by six horses.-St. Louis be-Democrat.

WHEAT BREAKS
IN CHICAGO PIT
Saturdays Market,)

CHiCAGO.-There was the most
pronounced liquidation in wheat for
both May and July today, since the
bull campaign of previous months
came TO an end The news of yester-
day was so bearish and unsettIing in
character that the trade began the
day with a selling fury which took
2 1-2 to &c off prices for all months
in few minutes. The early break
was met by fairly good supporting or
ders and rally of / to / 1-2e The
sharpest selling OF the day came later
and was directed chiefly against the
early months. Extreme break in the
May price was nearly cents, follow
ed by / lac rally for time, based
on good purchases by a leading La
Salle stret house Break in July was
nearly &C at the low point, with rail-
" at the close from S1.25 to $1.26
SIS. The buying for both months was
by cash and export concerns and had
the appearance of being against east
ern export sales. Early break in Sep
tember was stopped at S1,2O and af.
ter good rally the late break was to
$1.l9 3-S and the close S1.l9 rs, At
one time there was a large volume of
selling by leaders in the pit trade
against downward indemnities. While
there was a few sections complaining
of Hessian fly and chinch bugs, the
great bulk Of winter wheat acreage
is in almost perfect condition. The
harvest outlook is so great as to be a
constant bear factor. The frequent
rumors about Italy having made a.
declaration of war tended to disturb
holders and add to the volume Of SELL
ing on the decline. Naturally the dis
aster Of yesterday gives rise to fear
OF greater risks in foreign shipments
The chief disturbing feature in
corn was the violent bearish action in
wheat. The fine weather map, Slow
shipping and exports business and the
large stocks on hand are influences on
the side of sellers The market had a
break of about lc under early offer
ings, rally of 1-2 to Sac later, and
second dip to bottom prices. The
close was an unimportant recovery.
There was no such weakness in oats
as In other markets May price at
the close was only lac lower, the
July less than 1-2c net decline. Local
receipts were small at 65 cars. Ship
ping sales $4,000 bushels.

MANY CASES OF

SAYS WE MUST KEEP FEET DRY
AVOID EXPOSURE AND
EAT LESS MEAT.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less
meat, drink lots Of water, and above
all take spoonful Of salts occasion
ally to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poison.
Gus toxin, called uric acid, which is
generated in the bowels and absorb
ed into the blood. It is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in
the urine. The pores Of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood Of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are clos
ed. thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system.
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put table,
spoonful In a glass Of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for a week. This is said to eliminate
uric acid by stimulating the kidneys
to normal action. thus Kidding the
blood OF these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lith-
ia and is used with excellent results
by thousands of folks who are SUBJ
Jeet to rheumatism. Here you have
a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water
drink which overcomes uric acid and
is beneficial to your kidneys as well,
