Nominated for Cabinet.


by VIM. G. Shepherd. United Press
Stah Correspondent
PETROGRAD, May 1.-THE work
mems and soldiers delegates today
nominated five radicals for the pro-
posed coalition cabinet.
Their choices were: Minister CT
justice-M Malgantoritche, socialist
democrat. Minister of agriculture
Tchernov. revolutionary socialist
Minister Of munitions-Pjesheho nov-
peoples socialist. Ministers without
portfolio-Skobeleff, social democrat
and Avksjentev, revolutionary social
list.
There are eleven members to the
cabinet as now constituted by the
duma government but all have port
folios. Whether the workmen and
soldiers propose that the duma repre-
sentatiyes shall name nine Of the
regularly constituted members of the
cabinet and Skobeleff and AvjksjenteI
shall be merely members of council,
was not made clear. It was apparent,
however. that the crucial period in the
dispute between soldiers and work
men on the one hand and the duma
leaders on the other had passed to-
day. Formation of coalition cabin
ct which will command support Of
both sides now seems certain.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-That

participation in this crime, and that he
advised and encouraged it," said Cunha.
Il will prove that prior to January,
1916, Mooney, Alexander Berkman. Miss
NJ. F. Fitzgerald and others entered
into a conspiracy to bring about an up
rising against property owners. the
confiscation of private property and
the destruction of government, and
that they called themselves The Bias

Blast the objects of their conspiracy.

spiracy by letters in his own writing

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK!
CLEAN LIVER AND BOWELS MY WAY
Just Once! Try "Dodsons Liver Tone" when Bilious
Constpated Headachy-DOn't lose a days work

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi-
ton. But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones. Gallo
mel crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
breaking it up. That's when you feel
that awful nausea and cramping.
Listen to me! If you want to enjoy
the incest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced just take
a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver
Tone tonight. Your druggist or dealer
sells you so cent bottle of Dodsons' Liv-
er Tone under my personal money-back
