The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

root of her trouble, restored her to a

her nervousness disappeared.

SACK OF FLOUR
 OF SHRINER'S
 MAKES MONEY

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19. - The Shriners' Red Cross Sack of Flour started by Clarence F. Pratt, histor- ian of Islam Temple Mystic ShrineS of San Francisco, has travelled 5000 miles and been sold thirteen times.
 The thirteenth sale by Bagdad Tenn ple of Shrincrs at Butte, Montana, amounting to S7,16O was the largest vet held, although Algeria Temple at Helena. Montana, sold the sack one week earlier December 7th) for $5,- 100, and Aloha Temple at Honolulu sold it in July last for $l,O36.
 After each sale the flour has been returned to the Shriners to be sent on to the next temple to be resold.
 Mark Twain in "Roughing It. says the famous Gridley $275,OOO Civil War Sack of Flour travelled fifteen thousand miles. The Shriner's sack is to visit every Temple of Mystic Shrircrs sack is to visit every Tenn pie of Mystic ShHners in North America and it is estimated it will have travelled seventy-fve thousand miles. or three times around the globe. The Red Cross sack has now travel ed from California to Honolulu and back, to Ohio, Alabama, Montana and Wyoming, and now has a value of Sl5.O8S, all of which has been turned over to the American Red Cross. The flour will be sold by Korein Temple at Rawlms, Wyoming, about January fifteenth and by Khedive Temple at Norfolk, Virginia, on February fifth.
 From Virginia, it will be sent to Kentucky, Michigan, and Kansas.
 The Shriners of Islam Temple of San Francisco, who have charge of the Hours itinerary, believe the sack will net the Red Cross from half to three quarters of a million dollars.
 John D. McGilvay Potentate of Islam Temple will take the sack to the Imperial Council of Shriners at Atlantic City next June.

RUSS RAILLERY DEPICTS SOME
 OF CONDITIONS

PETROGRAD, Jan. 19. - The Bir- shevaya Vyedomosti indulges in sar- castle raillery at prevailing conditions by propounding a number of problems in the form of aithmetical exercises. Here is one of the problems:
 "In the city of A the public prose cutor, B., arrested the suspicious in dividual, C. On the following day the Bolshevik D arrested the prosecu- tor, for which reason D was in turn arrested by the temporary govern ment commissioner E. Thereupon F, the chairman of the revolutionary committee, arrested E. How far down the alphabet will the arrests reach in 24 hours, and how long will it be be- fore persons whose names begin with x and z are arrested"
 Another is: "A Bolshevild delegate departs from the city of A to attend democratic conference. A Manshe- vik delegates leaves the city B at the same time to attend the same confer ence. When will these delegates start pulling each others hair and how many resolutions will they propose 9"
 Following are others of the satiri- cal propositions propounded.
 An internationaHst, writes for a newspaper and receives 1000 roubles for each article. How many deliber- ately false reasons for an immediate peace must be present, if every reason is paid for at the rate of five marks apiece, assuming that five marks equal eight roubles and forty CO., pecks?"
 "A democratic conference progress es at the rate of 129 resolutions per hour, while the Germans advance at the rate of only ten versts day. Which of the warlike masses will first reach it's goal?"
 There are 5000 casks of brandy in the depot at A, and the city's gar rison has 10000 troops, all teetotall- CTS. How long will it take the teeto- tallers to drink up all the Hbuor, and how long will it be after that before the municipality decided to destroy all alcoholic drinks ?'
 The newspaper concludes: Persons sending in a correct solution will re- ceive one minister-president's portfo- Ho."
