RUSSIA TORN
BY DISORDERS
Soldiers and Workmen Re-
sent Renewal of Pledge
to the Allies
THEY SHOULD HAVE
BEEN CONSULTED
Wrath Poured Out Against
Foreign Minister
Milukoff

Petrograd, via London, May 4.-De.
tachments OF soldiers have gathered in
front OF the palace, which is used as
headquarters of the provisional govern
ment, carrying red flags with inscrip-
tions demanding the resignation of For
eign Minister Milukoff. Discomfort has
been smouldering for some time on ac-
count of the belief that Minister Miluk-
off was not fully in sympathy with the
viewpoint of the workmen and soldiers.
The present outbreak, which began
yesterday, is the direct result of the
announcement by the foreign Office to
the allied nations to the effect that Rus
sia would not slacken her effort in the
common struggle against the central
powers and would observe strictly her
engagements with the allies. The work
men and soldiers declare that they should
have been consulted before the COM
munication was sent.
There also were demonstrations last
evening in favor of the government. NJ.
Rodzianko, president of the Duma, ex-
horted the people to continue the war
until the attainment OF a victory worthy
Of the Russian people.
Some of the banners carried by the
paraders were inscribed: Down with
Guchkoff and down with the provisional
government" Guchkoff is the minister
of war.
After extended conferences between
the executive committee of the work
mems and soldiers delegates and the
council of the provisional government,
tho executive committee decided there
was no reason for demanding the resig
nation of the government. The soldiers
engaged in the demonstration were per
suaded by the committee to return to
their barracks.

Musical History Repeats

Jectlng to what is called automatic
and seml-automatic instruments OH
one score or another.
They make music too easy for
young people" it is said. Keep them
IRON their grind at piano or violin or
vocal lessons; make them think there
is little use in working hard for some
thing that can be bought in perforated
rolls or small black discs
1t is interesting. in this connection,
to look back few hundred years to
the beginnings OF musical America.
When in the early sixteen hum
dreds preachers here and there be-
gan to advocate the introduction Of
new songs into the churches, and
thus thaw out the Puritan ice which
had encrusted all forms of musical en-
preston and reduced the stream to a
tiny trickle OF stereotyped psalm
tunes, people began to object quite
stormily.
Song singing was new way"
Other music was almost an unknown
tongue" to most OF the people. There
were too many tunes to be learned, No
one could learn them all. Songs
might open the door to instruments.
and instruments were the work OF the
devil for the seduction of mankind
The forefathers OF the people had got
into heaven on the wings OF the ortho-
dox psalm tunes, therefore there was
no need for other music than that
A long, hard fight was started
against the icebergs of prejudice.
Point by point was won by the lovers
of music (new men from across the
sea-. Finally the organ was admitted
to some of the more daring churches,
and the list of tunes increased from
five or six to dozen or more, here

and that does not lay on In spots after
few hours Some time ago l had my
own face powder made, SO exqulsitely
fine that II Is invisible when applied al
ways stays on and of course has no
chalkiness whatever. ] was prevailed
upon to allow 1t to be sold, and you can
now get 1t In drug stores, as "valeska
suratt Face Powder" for fifty cents, In
flesh, white and brunette.
MISS r. A. s.-There's no reason in
the world why you cannot get rid of the
wrinkles, my dear. not In the least. That
is, II you do as I say. Get two ounces
OF eptol from your druggist, and dis
solve In half a pint of water, adding one
tablespoonful of gycerine. This will
make cream. Apply this freely every
day. Stop worrying about 1t, and In q
very short time your mirror will begin
TO call you to have look at yourself
Deep wrinkles crows feet, lines Of age,
will surely and quickly vanish. It sur
passes anything known for this purpose.
IN DoUBT-Youre right. Soaps do
dry up the natural secretions Of the
hair, and cannot remove the film of
fatty substances and scales forming on
the scalp. These must be dissolved
away. This Is done In n wonderful way
by using teaspoonful OF eggol in half
cup OF water. This makes an extra
ordinarily rich shampoo. A dozen or
more of these headwashes can be OBJ
tanned from twenty-five cent package
of oggol at the drug store.
