those urging direct aid by congress for
the summer camp movement, who had
told him 100 900 men could be enrolled

ccive at the camps.

general plan for training reserve Of

laY noanIne JOURNAL SPECIAL leAsro wlasl

Perograd, Feb. 10 (4;30 p. m, via
London, p. M - Contrasting
Russla's increasing prosperity with
Germanys financial and economic
condition the Russian minister of fl
nance, Pierre l.. Bark, in statement
to the Associated Press today, eX-
pressed the opinion that Russia could
prosecute the war indefinitely without
serious menace to the financial stabll-
ity Of the country
Russia s finances rest upon tho
most solid foundation in the world,
said the minister the economic pros
perity Of the Russian people which is
now greater than was ever conceived
possible before the beginning of the
war Thus, while the masses of the
German people are reduced by war to
poverty, every month of the war has
enriched the Russians,
Nothing Spurious.
The optimistic statements concer-
ing Germanys financial status have
deceived but few. On the other hand,
there is nothing illusory or spurious
about Russia's prosperity II rests on
the incontroVertiblc fact of the Rus
sian peoples increased earnings and
savngs.
when year ago, the savings
banks showed a monthly increase in
deposits Of fifty million roubes 1t was
regarded as phenomenal But that
was only the beginning During the
month Of January the savings banks
alone showed an increase in deposits
OF 10000. 900 foubles. This is ac-
counted for principally by the grow
ing thrift and economy OF the peas
ants since the enforcement of prohibi-
ton, by their greater earning powers
and the higher wages they command,
ana by the government provision for
the families of the soldiers, which ma
terially increased their ante-helum in
comes.
Big Loans Easily Raised.
This marvellous prosperity makes
Russia capable of raising a large num-
Der of successful internal loans and it
is by this means chiefly that we hope
to defray the expenses OF the war
which have reached 100000 roublcs
monthly. Germany can call for inter-
nal loans with no such confidence of
their success.
I'VE Logan modestly with loans Of
two or three hundred million, but the
last loan was for one billion, and the
present loan of two billions has every
prospect Of being readily subscribed.
1t is also encouraging to note that the
rouble has already assumed an up
ward trend, while the German mark
shows no sign of appreeiating.
Although the greater part of the
funds Russia needs for carrying on
the war can be raised internally, l do
not mean to say that we will not con-

| famous Judas Maccabeus and his bro

Gated it as the center of Jewish worship.
In honor of this re-dedication, the feast
of Channukah (dedication) was estab-
lished, its eight days to be holidays,
days of song and thanksgiving.
The holiday is marked by special
prayers of thanks and psalms of praise
inserted into the daily ritual, and by
the kindling Of the Channukeh lights.
The usual custom is to light one light
on the first day, two on the second,
three on the third, and so on, adding
one each successive day of feast. As to
the reason for this custom Of kindhng
the lights, legend tells that when Judas
Maccabeus and his victorious army re-
dedicated the Temple and cleansed it
of all the impurities of idolatry, he
found that there was only enough pure
oil to keep the perpetual light burning
one day, and it would be long before
new oil could be procured. But mi
raculously, this small amount of oil
lasted for eight days, and the perpetual
light was not eXtinguished. For this
reason it was ordained that every year
lights should be kindled for eight days
in every household 1t became custo-
mary for the light to be placed in the
windows and the doorways. so that the
streets of the cities be lighted up. Thus
the feast came to be known also as the
Feast of Lights.

The real important feature Of all the suggestions made

corn crop was nearly 4OOO000O0 bushels in excess and

The oat crop is larger by nearly a hundred million

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased ; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotehes and other eruptionR
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled il
