officials of the forest service. 1t Is

great, the most serious menace is the

New Way to Remove
Hairs Creates Sensation
actually Takes Out the Roots)

What beauty specialists regard as
one of the most important discoveries
in recent years is the .phelactine meth-
cd Of removing superfluous hair. IT'S
great advantage, of course. lies in the
fact that it actually removes the hair
roots. 1t does this easily, instantly,
harmlessly. Sufferers from the afflic-
ton named need no longer despair.
The actual hair roots come out before
your very eyes. leaving the skin as
smooth and hairless as a babes.
Because it offen such complete re-
lief, stick of phelactine is the most
inexpensive thing woman can buy
for the removal of hairy growths. For
the same reason druggists do not hest
tate to sell it under a money back
guarantee. You can use it with entire
safety; it Is so harmless one could even
eat it without any i'll effect.-Adv.

WAR STAMPS,

In keeping with the idea which was put forth in connection with the Lib erty loans by selling on the install ment plan to encourage the papticipa- ton of the little fellows" those whose wages and expenses are such that they cannot aid the government in financing the war except under the most favorable conditions, the splsn has now been adopted by the govern ment of making it possible for those who could not see their way to part with the $50 for the smallest bond, even though it covered a years time, to invest in war time saving stamps.
 That the small wage earners are deeply interested in the nations wei fare and in the conduct of the war cannot be questioned. They are as anxious to help as the man of means but the part which they can play is limited. This same situation was ex- perienced in Great Britain and there the idea was adopted of disposing of war stamps for the purpose of in creasins the interest Of the little fel- lows" and at the same time encour- aging them to increased thrift.
 The plan is a simple one. During next month war stamps will be is- sued at the fixed price of s412 Tn succeeding months a cent month will be added to the price and the stamps will yield four pe- cent. in terest compounded quarterly. They will run for five years and as in the case of the Liberty bonds the entire wealth and security of the country is behind them. The war stamps are tax free and the amount which can be held is limited. and for those who cannot purchase these, thrift stamps can be bought at 25 cents each until the amount corresponds with a war stamp when an exchange can be made It is a plan which ought to and doubt jess will be eagerly responded to by those of small means but who are anxious to do their part

the cost to one young man from Nor
 wich. This severe penalty ought to
 be published far and wide, for it is
 the best kind of warning to others
 who cherish like ideas of desertien
 from the national army. District
 draft boards III this city have been
 reporting all along the great difficulty
 in getting men to respond to their summons. They have not been able to enlist the police in this work to any extent. The result has been that the draft boards have had to put up with great insolence from many young men especially of foreign parentage, who responded when they felt like it. and aid about as they pleased. Evidently this young man in Norwich was one Of these free lances who thought & free country menat liberty to do as he pleased. It will serve as a dire warning to others who are inclined to treat the matter of the draft as 8 joke. However, one cannot help feel part of the authorities would have convinced Petroshki of his error long before it was necessary to send him up for twenty years. The call for the second draft will be issued soon, Ii once more the draft boards, composed of men serving voluntarily, will be forced to labor harder because of the lack of authority. It would be far better to have Petroshl1i and all of his kind in the army than in prison. Per haps the police department can take the initiative in this work and help the draft boards enforce their rulings. A uniformed policeman means some | thing to the young men of the type

led to the giving of the necessary au- thority to the bureau of mines by the last congress to enforce the law which it passed requiring all users and holders of explosives to secure licenses from the government. Most states have laws calling for severe penalties for the blowing up of factories and bridges and any who are apprehended d for such dastardly work will be prose- cuted hereunder, but the federal war measure calls for the arrest of any person in the United States having explosives in their possession after November 15 who does not have a fed eral license showing the purpose for what the explosives are to be used. and he may be fined up to s5.000 or sentenced to jail for a year. If the circumstances warrant be may get both the fine and the sentence.
 The bureau of mines has completed it's organization throughout the coun- try with state inspectors for explo- slves. licensing officers in each coun- ty and those in cities. There must be a definite statement made as to what use is to be made of explosives and in case any remains it must be re- turned. It is a measure to increase safety. Certainly every precaution should be taken to keep such danger GUS instruments from the hands Of the evilly disposed and a strict en- forcement should accomplish it.

GERMANY AND RUSSIA.

Evidence aplenty has been produced to show that long before the war opened German influence was estab lished on a large scale in Russia. Czar Nicholas was susceptible thereto and there were those in the cabinet after entrance into the war who were work ing for the handing over of that na- ton to the kaiser. The revolution put an end thereto but that was only the signal for the overrunning of the - country with German propaganda and from one end of the country to the ether the agents of Germany were at | work in behalf of the kaiser's inter ests. Deprived of the advantages which had been obtained previous to the revolution, it was necessary for Germany to develop the unrest which was shown to exist and to turn it to its own use. How cleverIv this was carried on and how successfully it re- suited is we'll shown by the fraterni- ration which took place between the Russian and German troops on the battle fronts. Germany was doing it's utmost to break down the fighting spirit of the Russians and from that time the effectiveness Of the Russian armies has been destroyed.
 With the busting of the revolution ary government another advantage was offered Germany and ic has been eapitalizinS it in every possible way It Is turning the extremists government to it's own good and Russia will, if Germany can have its own way. be not only a vassal of the German em- pire. but will be striking at those ma Hons with which it is allied
 All of Russia is not however, so inclined in spite of German effort but ft remains to be seen whether it can be rallied in time to overcome those who are at present holding the reins and doing the bidding of German off1- cials- It is thus the duty of the allies to bend every effort to keep Russia where it belongs and prevent 1t from dissracing itself and putting help in the way of supplies and released pris- oners in the hands of the central DOW CTS. The situation calls for immedi- ate and effective measures by the al- lies The hopelessness of getting Rus sia back onto it's feet cannot be ac- cepted until it is reality Russia needs a certain kind of help as it never needed it before

led to one side. their arms were twist ed behind their backs, their wrists were tied with rope, and they were then led each to post and backed against it; wooden blocks were brought on which they were made to stand while their hands were tied to the post as high as possible. The blocks were then kicked out from under thsm and they were left sus- pended by their wrists with their feet off the ground. 2
 They, remained thus suspended for two hours. The next day the process down and consented to work. Hang ing of the remainder continued, and was followed by beatiags with rife butts. Then followed four more hours of hanging, when consciousness left them. They were carried into the eel lar and were thrown on wet stones. The men weakened and ''volunteered' to work. The informant still held ont. Altogether he hung 12 hours on that post.
 He was finally liberated and was sent to work along with others He was given shovel, and threw 1t after which he was sent to another barrack and was left alone, as he only created distra ction from the work. The cook there enlisted his services and he worked in the kitchen. He stated that there were 10 other non commissioned officers who simply re- sisted all German efforts to compel them to work.
 On July i last party of 30 men, five of whom were sergeants, came to his battalion. Twenty of them con scented to work, others refused. They were made to stand irnmovable from 5 a. m. to noon. when soup was given them, and then the standing continued until 10 D. m. This continued for eight days. The commandant told them they would stand until they were dead unless they consented to work. The mems legs became so swollen that they could neither stand nor move and thev were removed somewhere.
 In 1916 there was much torture ractised. according to the informant, though lately, he said. hanging has been stopped by orders. In January and February last he and other non commissioned officers were made to stand against a wall on rainy days from a. m. to 6 D. m. with one hours intermission for soup. Punishmcnts of this nature, bad food. and forced work extended over long hours reduc- ed the labor battalions rapidly. His battalion originally 2ooo men strong, dwindled in November. 1916. to 1850 men. In March and April of the pres ent year only 35 men were left who could still do work He personally knew some 50 men who died in the battalion while he was with it.
