RUSSIAN PAPERS
DISCUSS FREELY
RASPUTIN'S LIFE

u Perograd, Jan. "A more 1enient
press censorship has allowed the
newspapers here to publish all con-
ceivable versions Of the story of the
death of the Monk, Gregory Rasputin,
some Of them decorated with the dra-
matte touches and coloring of an
Arabian Nights adventure. Com
ment also is made freely on the life
and influence Of the dead Monk.
1t is stated that Prof. Mitukoff and
Vladimir N. Purschkevich, vice presi-
dent of the Union Of True Russians,
have received numerous kilograms Of
appreciation for their action in be-
ing first to call the attention Of the
country forcibly to the evil influences
at work, chief of which is declared
to have been that of Rasputn.
The Bourse Gazette, however, de-
rides the tendency to exaggerate Ras-
putin's Importance in Russian politics
and states that it is a mistake to re-
gard him as symbolic of conditions in
the country or consider his fall as a
changing point in the history of the
nation.
The Reich discusses Rasputin's in
fluence over important officials and
names persons, including ministers
who not only owed their appointment
to the Monks patronage but were in
direct contact with ann, seeking his
advice.
Ills counsel was asked in every
matter says the Reich, land nobody
was ashamed to receive from his hand
what they wanted to get. But the
main thing is not Rasputin himself
but the conditions which made his
position possible and allowed such a
man to play such an exceptional part.
His role was such in short that it
made it necessary for every resolution
recently passed in the Duma to con-
tain the phrase dark forces.

employees TAKING.
VOTE FOR STRIKE

Holyoke, Jan. 1.-The 22O trolley
men of the local street railway sys-
tenn began this morning taking a vote
on the question Of striking to enforce
their demand for a restoration Of
the operating schedule in force prior
to Tuesday, when a new schedule, the
work of a board Of arbitration, went
into effect. The new schedule has
caused general dissatisfaction among
the carmen, who say that it is less
advantageous to them than the old
one. The chief objection is to the So
called s'swing runs on which they say
it is necessary for a man to be on duty
practically fourteen hours day in
order to register six hours platform
time for which the minimum pay is
$1.98.
General Manager L. D. Pellisser
contends that the new arrangement
medns a considerable increase in
wages. The vote will end at O'Clock
tonight. .4@

"The eM0rningAfter''
(By DIR. L. W. BoWERl

One of the characteristic headaches
due to uric acid in the system, which
acts as poison when it accumulates,
is due to alcohol taken the night be-
fore. The kidneys do not succeed in
throwing off this poisonous accumu-
lation, >the stomach is nauseated, or
the blood congests in the head, caus-
ing thrbobing pain, called headache
the heart is depressed, circulation Of
blood poor to the eXtremities, the
muscles feel tired, or twinges of pain
here and there are felt, and when this
uric acid is deposited in the tissues
or joints it causes rheumatism or
gout. | always advise the drinking Of
hot water, a half pint in the morning,
and little Anuric. Sometimes, the
"blues," or a sort of rash, or a pimply
face, gives warning of an uric acid
storm" At such times always take
Anuric double strength), which can
be obtained at almost any drug store,
and which you will find dissolves the
uric acid almost as hot water does
sugar.
Avoid too much meat, tea and alco-
hol. Drink an abundance of water,
both hot and cold. Take Anuric three
times day until the bad symptoms
all subside. This is the best way to
avoid rheumatism and many of the
pains and aches due to a uric acid
condition. If you drink any alcoholic
beverage you shotld keep the kidneys
and liver active with Anuric, so as to
throw off the poisons which accumu-
late. If your tongue is coated-a dark
brown taste, breath foul, followed
sometimes by colds, indigestion, bill
iousness, constipation or sour acid
stomach, you should take some vege-
table laxative. Such a one is made in
sugar-coated form from the May
apple, leaves of aloe, and root of
jalap, and commonly sold by almost
all druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are standard and have
been in ready-to-use form for nearly
fifty years.-Advertisement.
