expedition; then he explored
Alaska and the British northwest
and crossed Alaska to the Arctic
ocean and travelled from McKen-
zie river to Boring sea, a journey
Of about $500 miles. He camped
in the Klondyke during the win
ter of 1893, and then alone floated
down the Yukon in a canoe, a
journey of hundreds of miles
through a wilderness without see-
ing another living soul. Soon af-
ter that he resigned from the de-

they still recall how Funston, as a
passenger train conductor, threw
a drunken cowboy off a train, and
later, when he hurled a rock
through a coach window. pursued
him several miles on foot while
the train waited.
Funston's first experience on
the firing line came in Cuba,
where he commanded General
Gomez's artillery with remark

twenty-five battles and being
wounded three times, he resigned
his command because fifty guer-

GOOD BLOOD

Given good, clean, healthy blood,
Nature will do the rest with any case
of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism,
scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils.
pimples, or skin diseases of any kind.
Good blood invariably means vigorous
appetite, good digestion and strength.
Thus 1t stands to reason that an
effective "alterative" or blood purifier,
while it will not cure all diseases, will
help in fighting any disease. and will
relieve those mentioned above, all of
which comes from bad blood.
Forty years ago DR. 4. B. Simpson
of Richmond, Ind, was known as one
of the most successful physicians in
three states His success was founded
almost exclusively! on one prescrip-
ton, the most powerful blood purifier
ever known. This prescription is reg
ularly put up as DR.. A. B. Simpsons
Vegetable Compound.
1t has been used extensively all
over the country, and in forty years
has never failed to do good. Simpsons
Vegetable Compound Is harmless as it
is effective. 1t is sold at 81 per bottle
at all drug stores.-Adv.

kets it goes to war to keep the pres.
ent industrial process in operation
As a matter Of fact it does the only
thing it can do.
1t is true the system might be
changed, and the people who do the
work might be given their product
and the domestic market broadened
until the surplus could be made to
meet the needs of the people, and
thus remove the urgent necessity for
foreign markets. But the masses have
neither the intelligence nor the will to
make the change
The present method is all the way
the world knows, and as Voltaire OBJ
serves, 1T is not in the nature Of man
to desire that which he does not
know" But despite his blindness and
avarition to change, and his willing
ness to go to war rather than make
it, he will find no solution for the
enigma of surplus products, that will
increase at every step of industrial
and inventive progress. And change

, Think About THIS
The Russian Revolution

No satisfactory explanation of the Russian
revolution is forthcoming. News dispatches
from Petrograd have told how the old govern
ment was overthrow and what the new govern
ment proposes What forces were potent in
bringing about this change remain secret.
Whether the masses will really benefit by the
change or whether the change is a blind to keep
the people satisfied for the time being is some
thing no one knows.
It is safe to say at this distance that few Of
the 100000 Russians know that revolution
has taken place; few of that number care. The
ignorant moujik will shrug his shoulders, accept
the outcome, and mutter, Gods will be done"
Back of the revolution in Russia cannot be
found the popular demand of people demanding
a right in government, right to be represented,
right to make it's own laws and choose it's own
officials.
The question seems to be purely an economic
one. In the s,647,657 square miles of the Russian

The new government in Russia will succeed

The problem of the food supply is tremen-
dous one in Russia Literally speaking, hunger is
always stalking somewhere in Russia. The coun-
try cannot produce enough foodstuff for its own
consumption. The greater part Of the grain
grown by the farmer is taken away from him for
taxes. The laborer receives such small pay that

Saving Our Wheat

At time when we are advised to conserve
and save wherever possible, attention IS being
called to the waste in our wheat, and the sugges-
ton is made that we obtain the full value from
the cereal. The New York Globe discusses the
problem as follows:
The world faces wheat shortage. Through
out Europe the situation is already serious.
French estimates show lack of two hundred
million bushels for the Entente countries. The
central powers are worse off. Our own wheat
needs Department Of Agriculture figures show
to be twenty-six million bushels below the mark,
assuming normal exports. Our available supply
of wheat and flour is the lowest in generation.
The experts count on relief from the next crop.
But of this there is no certainty. Unfavorable
weather may dash these hopes and increase the
exigency.
Obviously some radical measure should be TAX
en- to safeguard the public interest whatever may
happen. Europe, under stress Of necessity, has
adopted the simple expedient of making the most
of the wheat on hand. All the countries at war
have abolished white flour because it involves
much unnecessary waste Of good food and be-
cause it displaces superior food with an infer
ior food.
Is it not time for the United States to take
similar action? We require all the food there is
in all the grain we have. Our need of it may be-
come more urgent Surely there is only folly in
continuing the waste of such bounty as nature
vouchsafes US. We throw away millions of dol
lars in the process of sitting from our flour the
elements Of food that are essential to the main
tenance of animal life. (No one denies this. The
only argument for it is that the loss is made up
in other unimpaired foods) We cut down the
output of flour by the sitting. Why go on, in a
time when every mouthfu counts, producing less
than our maximum capacity of flour of the poor
est sort when we can save money all round by
producing our maximum capacity of the best
flour? Do we require German perspicacity to
see the absurdity of our present extravaganza
both in cheating ourselves of the best food and
taxing ourselves for the swindle?

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

Make rain your choice when
it's stormy weather and your
own atmosphere will soon clear;
be content with the changing
wind and weather-what comes,

The fact is that men look the

and their faces are the tell-tales
Of their inner lives-they show
only their face values"
Justice always weighs your
ability and not your ambition;
when justice finds you a weak
ling, fate filings you into the
wreckage heap-success is for
the strong.

he cannot buy enough food. The transportation
system is so abominable that distribution of food
supplies is haphazard undertaking. For more
than two years, the army has been receiving
food that should have stayed in the interior. Add
to this the corruption and inefficiency of the
state officials and the problem assumes aspects
that almost battle solution.
In the light of only this one economic prob
lem, the revolution in Russia will be successful
only if the new officials are able to pacify mil
lions of starving men and women. It is fair to
infer that the masses do not care for the war and
are ready to accept peace terms. All they want
is food.
