Sergius Nfichallow TrufanOff, better
known as "nliodor, the Mad Monk Of
Russia" was up to the beginning of
the war a chaplain of the imperial
court at Petrograd. He was an init
mate of Gregory Rasputin, the Sibe-
rian peasant priest and court cOnfessor
whose death was recently announced.
Here is how the mad monk" got his
name, according TO his own version:
perhaps l may recall the fact that
when people want to kill a dog and
need an excuse TO do it they spread
the report that the dog is mad. Well,
in Russia they wanted to kill me, or
do away with me in some other fash
ion and so they told the people was
mad-crazy, perhaps is better word.
So they called me "nliodOr, the crazy
monk"

GOOD WHITEWASH FOR FARM
Coal Tar Product Kills Disease Germs
kerosene Destroys Mites
Lime Whltens Walls.

A good whitewash for stables, poul-
try houses or hoghouses is made by
Stacking FIVE quarts of lime with hot
water to the consistency of cream.
To this add one pint of zenOleum or
other coal tar product, and one pint of
kerosene. Dilute until it can be ap-
piled with a brush or spray pump.
The coal tar product kills disease
germs, the kerosene destroys mites
and the lime whitens the walls.
Try this and you will be pleased
with results.
