TELLS THE GREAT STRUG-
GLE FOR FREEDOM IN RUSSIA
BY SIGMOND NJ. SLONIM.

years and years to prepare the people
for that revolution. The revolutionary
organizations have been constantly
planning working and organizing Sc
cretly, were holding secret meetings
either in the woods or in some cellars
or other secret places in every town.
village and city. They established
secret libraries where they were dis
tributing literature among the people.
The literature so distributed consisted
of two classes, one which was legal.
such as were of a general literary and
scientific nature and those which were
illegal, which consisted of books on
such subjects as sociology, political
economy, democracy, socialism and any
other ism that was detrimental to
czarism. They also had secret lee
lures. discussions and debates; were
publishing secret newspapers in va
rious languages, and in that under
ground manner went on and on, day
after day, week after week, month
after month and year after year and in
the meantime the flames of the revolu-
tion were spreading farther and
farther. Only on the first of May of
each year all those secret organiza-
tions came out openly in public dem
onstration in some of the leading
streets of each municipality, and after
each such demonstration was over
some of the demonstrators We're i'm
prisoned. some of them were sent to
Siberia, some were crippled and some
killed
Thousands Die For Cause.
Thousands upon thousands of liberty
loving young men and women have
given away their energy, their for
tunes and their very lives for the
cause of freedom. The greatest writ
ers and the greatest poets were sent to
Siberia where they have suffered tor
ture, freezing and starvation. All the
prisons and dungeons of Russia were
filled with such men and women, who
were ever ready and willing to sacri-
fee everything they possessed so that
the people in the future might enjoy
freedom, and all the torture and all
the oppression has not stopped them
in their struggle for freedom. Now
many of them are living to see the
fruit of their labor.
Soon after the overthrow of the aut-
ocracy hundreds of thousands of polit-
ical prisoners and exiles who were
suffering in dungeons and Siberia,
were released and have returned home
to take part in the establishing and
nerfectinr of an everlasting democ-
racy. When Katherine Preshkofv-
skaya, known as the grandmother of
the revolution, who had spent forty
four years in exile, together. with other
famous revolutionists had returned
from Siberia to Petrograd, they were
met at the depot by thousands OF peo-
nlo who cheered and waved thousands
of red flags and sang the Marseillaise.

OF the 1s4,22S employees of the fed
eral government who lthe postal serv-
ice excluded) make up the total work
ing force thereof, S5,477, or 1913 per
cent, live in Washington, d. c. If a
census of these employees were TO be
taken and one of the questions asked
should be Where is your home?" it
would be a safe wager that not one
tenth of l per cent would answer
Washington, d. c." And yet, many
of these men and women have lived
and worked in Washington twenty,
thirty, forty or fifty years. Why is it
that with all the years behind them in
this one place they prefer to call
some country village in New England,
some forsaken mining camp in Mon
tana home?
The population of the city of Wash

Washington represents to most of the
federal employees who live in it the

Somewhere east of Suez."
This matter of the impermanency of
life in Washington has very serious
side. Note, if you will, as they crowd
out of the great department buildings
at 4:3o in the afternoon, the large
number of young men and boys, nearly
all of whom have come from careful,
right thinking homes in small COM
munities, where every one was known
by his actions and the company he
kept, into this complicated and most
impersonal city. 1t is not natural for
such one to feel as if life had flung
his youth into his hands, and said,
Here, this is all you have. Use it
now, or you shall never use it. Eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow you
die" And then, to his imagination,
life hides her lips behind her hand
and whispers, you are all alone.
There is none to tell you what you
may or may not do. Yours is the ire
sponsibility of the gods"

Timely Hints for the Home Gardener
Sweet Corn.

Washington. D. c., April 5.-Sweet
corn should always be found in the
home garden when space allows. since
1t loses quality very rapidly after be-
ing picked. Its sugar changes into
starch, so that to have it at its best 1t
should be on the fire within fifteen
minutes after being pulled from the
stalk, Those who wish to have home
grown sweet corn will find the follow
ing advice from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture useful:
Corn does best in a fertile soil. but
Is able to adapt itself to all textures
from sandy to clay. To grow 1t in
sufficient quantities for the average
family requires more space, however,
than for most garden vegetables. It
should not be planted until after
danger of frost is past. ....
The rows should be spaced not
closer than three feet apart and for
the larger growing late varieties the
distance had best be three and one
half feet. Stalks should be thinned to
stand from fifteen to eighteen inches
in the row. In planting, the seed Is
covered with one to two inches OF soil.
Cultivation must be thorough. fire.
quent, and shallow.
1t Is possible to use the ground oo-
cupied by early corn for fall planting
of such crops as spinach, turnips, and
kale, Large, late varieties, however,
will occupy the ground for practically
the whole season.
For early use the yellow sweet corns

Special Suggestions for
The Care of the Skin
HYour Face Hands Are Roughed Chpped Have Tendency
to Eczema Try These Suggestions

~ ENETOL ID the most powerful, harmless
germicide known In all the medical world.
Not only ID Benetol a marvellous preparation
because of its germicidal powers but 1t deserves
equal fame as healing agent Because of these
two properties, Benetol is sold in various con-
venient forms. Among these is to be particularly
recommended Benetol Ointment and Benetol
Powder.
Both Of these preparations are of course
intended for skin troubles and to preserve the
hands. face and body in the most perfect possible
condition Of skin health.
With women, this question of skin health is
one OF the most important Of toilette problems.
So many cold creams and lotions are found
irritating to sensitive skins, that BenetoI Oint-
nent Is proving most welcome substitute, In
fact, Benetol Ointment, because of it's peculiar
instant healing properties is being used by
small army OF women in preference to cold creams.
As curative agent for pimples, eczema,
bles, Benetol Ointment 10 so far ahead of any
other cream or ointment that there is really no
comparison to be made.
And Benetol Powder is i'm fact the only
healing. curative, antiseptic powder that is
offered ESQ far as we know.
Both the Ointment and the powder contain
the active principles Of BENETOL. This is the
secret Of their wonderful properties and explains
why they are not to be compared with any other
ointments or powders on the market-because
none other contains BENETOL.
II You have any skin troubles Try these
preparations and II after one week you have not
found them many times better than anything
else you ever used, take the remaining part OF
the packages back to your druggist and get your
money back in full. IL =
