Freedom in Siberia

II Out Of the bleak wastes Of Siberia, straSK
Cling line of starving and diseased political exiles
is returning to freedom. One Hundred Thousand
men and women who dared fling defiance into
the face of tyranny and strike blow for human
freedom are returning as heroes from servitude
inflicted to crush out their aspirations to see
Russia home of free men.
The pen-picture by an American newspaper
man, printed in The Palladium few days ago, is
one of the great stories of the war.
The president of the Exile Reception Commit
tee at Petrograd said that there were probably
altogether 100000 persons in Siberia who had
been released under the amnesty measure of the
Provisional Government.
As soon as the news Of the revolution spread
through Siberia, those exiles who had the means
started for the nearest railroad stations. Fifty
thousand sledges are speeding to the railroads to
beat the spring thaw. Most of the ,exiles will
have to wait until river traffic opens.
These men are struggling back to civilization
from prison camps so remote that no guard is
needed and in many places there are no black
smiths to sever chains and shackles. The first
trainload was filled with shaggy, ragged, ex-
tremely emaciated, uncouth and unwashed men,
some suffering with unbalanced minds, few able
to grasp fully the news Of their deliverance from
servitude and living DEATH
The new spirit of democracy that is sweeping
through Russia did it's first great work when
it permitted these men to come back. Perhaps
the Slav may be able under intelligent leadership
to prove that democracy can exalt the lowest and
enoble the least worthy.

The city librarian comes forward with the
suggestion that persons who care to read Amer
lean history and especially the works mentioned
in an editorial of last Wednesday apply at the
Morrisson-Reeve library The volumes selected
by the United States Bureau of Education are
listed in the library and may be had for the
asking
We are glad to call the attention of our read
ers to the splendid facilities for profitable read
ing offered by the Morrison-Reeves collection.
The library may not be the largest in the state of
Indiana, but the collection of books is selective
one and adapted to the general needs of COM
munity such as Richmond it..
Often we overlook the very good things at
our door. We believe this is applicable to the
library. Our citizens could develop mighty fine
habit and recreation by patronizing the library.
The volumes are open to inspection, permit

reference facilities enable one to obtain data and

What Is Uric Acid?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Excess
sive amount is caused by eating too much
meat and foods that ferment in stomach.
The kidneys, being the filters of the
blood, are supposed to separate and throw
the poisons out OF the system. Weak,
tired and overworked kidneys fail to do
this, hence the poisonous uric acid and
its associate poisons contaminate the
blood, causing backache, lumbago, rheu-
matism, dropsy, drowsiness and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only q
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric
double strength), three times a day.
Anuric is recent discovery Of DR.. Pierce
Of Buffalo, N. Y, and can be obtained at
any drug store.

uric is n more powerful agent than lithia
in dissolving uric acid, as hot. water melts
sugar. Anuric is q regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat caters and those
who deposit lines salts in their Joints.
