Another Ritual Murder Story.

The loss of little boy, Lavrino-
witch, in one of the suburbs of Petro-
grad gave rise to revival Of the
ritual murder accusation against
Jews. The sister of the boy and 9TH
ers alleged that they had seen Jew
leading the boy. Subsequently the
body was found in the river. A
strict medical inquiry was held in
the presence of angry crowds. The
medical authorities were onl y just in
time to stop the police from drawing
up report on the suspicious ritual
murder" in the light demanded by
the anti-Semites. The medical Off
GERS suggested that death could only
have occurred from accidental
drowning, as they could not find any
signs of violence. Thereupon the
coroner renewed his examination of
the witnesses, when the sister of the
boy confessed that through her care
lessness he had fallen into the river
The agitator then hurriedly with
drew from the scene.

JEWISH PHARMACISTS
AGAINST WAR RELIEF.

Petrograd.- Petrograd now has
some 800 Jewish pharmacists. These
are nearly all organized in radical
Socialist brotherhood. Members of
this organization had been contrib
uting a self-imposed relief tax, but
at the last members meeting the
great ma ority took strong exception
to any and all forms of relief aid,
and henceforth the pharmacists will
abstain from rendering such aid.
This attitude has been adopted on
the ground that all relief aid was the
work Of the government, and in par
ticipating in this work they were re-
heving the government as we'll as
the wealthy classes, thus acting
against their own principles and in
terests. The Pharmacist Life, the
official organ of the organization,
was mainly instrumental in bringing
about this opposition to work which
even Russian Jewish radicals might
have been expected to appreciate in
all it's sinister significance.

Every summer reports are common
Of losses of cows and calves by these

1t has long since been known that
sometimes second growths of sorghum
may contain poison and when kafir
and sorghum are stunted by drought,
Prussic acid may develop in such
quantity as to produce death to cattle
grazing upon them; the affected ami.
mails often dying soon after eating
few mCuthfuls of the poisonous for
age. The poison is not found in wilt
ed or cured kair or sorghum, Which
are therefore always safe for feeding
1t is claimed that norma1 plants of
sorghum and kafr are entirely harm
less, but in order to practice safety
first" it will De we'll to give to cattle
only the wiltered or cured sorghums:.
A little precaution along this line may
mean several dollars saved.
