are not used for food. this loss re-

dawn the former car and his family

Tsarkoe-Selo to the railway station by
order of the provisional government.
1t was an exceedingly mysterious af-
lair, and the mystery is not yet lift

statement that Tobolsk is to be the

No chances were taken. Eleven men
were picked out from each battalion

thinks of this splendid remedy which

systems to normal here in Richmond.
She said: Il was suffering from
nervous spells for twelve or fifteen
