THE REVOLUTIONS VocAR-
ULARY.

News reports from Russia are
punctuated with strange terms that
are meaningless to the average
newspaper reader. New parties and
new institutions have sprung up so
rapidly, that the average reader has
not kept pace with them.
In the last issue of Munseys
magazine, Willis ]. Abbot publishes
"a vocabulary of the Russian Revo-
luton.
To follow this great social strug-
gle in Russia. the meaning of some
of these terms must be known. Some
of the more common ones as con-
densed from Mr.. Abbot's article, fol-
low:

the Duma to restore order.
THE COUNCIL OF wORKMEN'S
AND SOLDIERS DEPUTIES is
composed Of elected delegates from
the workmen and soldiers of the
capital. 1t is an extremely radical
and revolutionary body. with a touch
OF anarchism. Similar organizations
were formed in other cities besides
Petrograd, and a national organiza-
ton perfected. This body has become
the governing body of the nation,
taking precedence over the constitu-
tionalIy organized Duma.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
This is the name given to the temper
airy cabinet formed, as a result of
conference between the Duma and
the council of Workmen's and Sol

How President Keeps Health and
EUenGdinS Weight Despite Worries
Responsible Keeping Mr. Wilson Ft" Says Dr.
Cary r. Grayson.

When Woodrow Wilson was presi-
dent Of Princeton university he look
ed frail and sickly. Now that he has
carried the responsibility Of the
presidency of the United States up
on his shoulders for four years, and
since the declaration Of war has
borne the heaviest burden resting up
on any one individual in the world,
he has gained weight, his complexion
is ruddier, his eyes are clearer, his
gait is more energetic and his health
Is more vigorous than ever before.
How does he do it?' one may well
ask. The answer is given by David
Lawrence in the November issue of
The Ladies' Home Journal, in the
words Of Admiral Cary 7. Grayson,
II. S. n. the Presidents physician
and companion.

DIR. Grayson:

OF knowing what to do and what To
leave undone. He concentrates with
a vengeance when working on a
problem; but when he leaves his
desk he absolutely detaches himself
mentally as well as physically.
When he goes to a vaudeville show or
musical comedy he gives himself
up entirely to the entertainment. He
works hard, but he plays hard.
Punctuality with him is a religion.
He is never late. and callers rarely
overstay their time. He transacts
much business over the telephone to
save time. He arises at 1880 and
breakfasts at s. Then he goes golf
ing or horseback riding for couple
of hours, accompanied by Mrs. Will
son or DIR. Grayson.
When he gets back to the White
House he takes a shower and rub
and is then ready for the tremendous
job that lies ahead Of him each day.
Mr.. Wilson likes to have those
about him not overconversational.
Even his barber and bath attendant
are trained not to speak unless
spoken to. For recreation he attends
all the shows. good and bad. For

that it was sheer invention, never

urging that it be denied If not true.
The answer came promptly:
1.-The lie started in the east
several days ago. and undoubt-
edly has the same general origin
as countless other German
organisations"
This is a good occasion to en-
plastic this statement: IF you don't

To The Editor of The Forum:
Publicity is q fine thing-we pay
out lots of money for it-but when
using it we should confine ourselves
to the facts. Your Wednesday is
sue contained an article on the front
page headed Flour prices in state
covering too wide range"
In these strenuous times the read
ers of newspapers easily lead them
selves to believe that they are be-
ing abused after reading articles like
the one mentioned above. We are
perfectly willing to abide by any de-
cision that the food commission
gives out in regard to prices but we
also wish to ask the papers to give
the retailer a square deal. If Mr..
Laid will show us where we can buy
sugar at $S.25 or $3.50 delivered to
our store we will thank him very
present we are obliged to pay $S.45h
plus the drayage. This is for bags
while the bales cost us 20 cents
more. Can you tell us how we may
sell sugar at from 1926 to $3.50?
Possibly not and yet by publishing
the above mentioned article you lead
the people of this good state to think
the retailer is making big war prof
it's"
We also note that MI LAID says
retailers are selling flour at a mar
gin, sometimes as high as $500 over
a fair margin. Did you ever know
of case where a retailer was get
ting a total margin of $500? We
never did? We wonder what section
of the state Mr.. Ladd got his in
formation from-surely not from the
west end. We feel like The Chicago
Grocers in the enclosed item. Gov
eminent reports show ran average
expense of II per cent in the grocery
business. We would be tickled to
death to get anywhere near this on
sugar and flour. In reality We have
been accustomed to get about aalf
this. Does Mr.. Ladd expect us to
work at a loss of 10 per cent? The
sugar and flour end of the business
has been the leader" the losing ends
Please don't make it worse by tell
ing the people they are being charg-
ed more than they really are. Give
lis a. fair deal Ask your local groc-
ers. Find out what is really being
charged over the state and then give
the facts. 1t will make it easier for
tha retailer and no harder for you. 4

The rise in price of milk has

ures Of the high prices. Milk
distribution systems are so no.

the public's own fault If ii pays
an unreasonable price.
IL Is perfectly ridiculous that
in most towns half a dozen or
more milk carts will run up and
down the same street. There Is
but little need of the milk cart.
The public has been educated by
high prices to carry home a
large part of the purchases it
makes. Why not milk also?
Milk depots are being started
In many large cities to distribute
milk to all Corners for 10 cents

for less. IL the milk wagon Is
