Method Of Making Pits
For Storing Vegetables

Select a we'll drained location, make
a shallow excavation about six inches
deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves or
similar material and place the vegeta-
bles in a conical pile on the lining.
Make the bottom of the pile about the
same size as but not larger than the
bottom of the excavation.
Cover the vegetables with the same
material as that used for lining the
bottom of the pit and carry it up sew
eral inches above the apex Of the pile
Of vegetables, having it extend through
the dirt covering. This serves as a
ventilating flue, and it should be cover.
ed with a piece of tin or short board
as a protection from rain.
The dirt covering should be two or
three inches thick when the vegetables
are stored, and it should be increased
as severely cold weather approaches
until it is a foot or more in thickness,
or sufficient to protect from freezing.
The shallow trench around the base
of the pit should have an outlet for car
rying of the water. Supplement the
dirt covering with manure, straw, corn
fodder or other protective material.
Use several small pits instead Of one
large one, as vegetables keep better in
small pits, and the entire contents may
be removed when the pit is opened.

100 Years Old

1.-THE kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay'-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises-all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the Kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent old age by simply slipping q
cup of hot water every morning before
breakfast, taking little Anuric before
meals and live to be hundred.

years there sat In the duma as q re-

Lenine, whose attempts to overthrow
the provisional government are max
ing such q stir.
MalinOwsky's career, according to
the commission. began with pocket
picking and burglary, for which in
Moscow he was many times convicted.
Fifteen years ago Malinowsky decided
to enter politics and became associated
with the semi-revolutionary Socialist
party, to whom his criminal record was
unknown. He showed such revolu-
tionary ferver that he rapidly advanc-
ed and became a friend Of Nikolai L.
nine. who was then living in exile
abroad.
In 1910, the commission discovered.
Malinowsky began to cooperate with
the okhrana, or police security de-
partment, using his position with the
revolutiOnaries In order to obtain facts.
His plan was to spy and egg on his
comrades i1*o demonstrations and po-
litical crimes and then betray them.
He was taken on at first at $25 q

self as spy and informer that he was
promoted and was sent abroad by the
police to watch and incite emigrant
revolutionaries. He still kept Lenine's
confidence, and this enabled him to
carry out his police work efficiently.
For two years Malinowsky steadily
rose In favor both Of the revolution
aries and Of the police. In May, 1912,
he was elected duma member. Both
revolutionaries and police, unknown to
one another, rejoiced. Malinowsky be-
came SO valuable that his salary from
the police was raised to $3.50 a month.
This, with bis salary as duma member,
gave him an income of $1,000 a year.

mirable revolutionary work as duma
member and reported everything to tho
security department. His speeches
were carefully prepared in advance.
Some were written by Lenine, and all
were submitted before delivery to the
police. The inquiry commission found
corrected drafts Of the speeches In the
police Offices.
