RIGA, Latvia, Feb. 14.-This cor
respondent has just completed a
Journey from Riga to Irkutsk and
back, being the first non-Russian to
cover all this territory since the
revolution. The soviet authorities
gave every assistance in these 'inves-
legations. The only exception was
at Omsk, where the station master
promptly had the writer arrested
and tried by the revolutionary trib-
unal. The government prosecutor
demanded a death sentence.
The land was found swept by dis.
ease, especially recurrent fever and
typhus. Of three companions on the
first part of the journey, two were
attacked by typhus and one died.
The lowest temperature was go de-
grees below zero near Irkutsk. Once
everything eatable, including milk,
froze solid during the night in the
railway compartment.
The soviet government has secur-
ed absolute military and practical
supremacy over Siberia to the Far
Eastern republic. It's economic and
social administration, however, is
an amazing failure. This is partly
due to the ineXperience Of the men
placed in charge. The vice presi-
dent of the Siberian revolutionary
committee, the supreme governina
body, is a former sergeant in the
Russian army. Honest industry has
been nearly killed and shows. only
faint signs of revival.
Profiteering and speculation in the
necessaries of life, largely at the
expense of the working classes,
flourish exceedingly and a new
wealthy class, composed mainly of
Jews, is rapidly emerging. The con-
dition of the Siberian railroads is
chaotic. The mems salaries, both
in money and food, are many
months in arrears, and they endeav,
or to live by blackmail, bribery and

Palestine. Its geographical origin is
somewhat uncertain, but the best
existing evidence seems to point to
Mesopotamia as the original source.
At least there is rather wide ac-
ceptance of the belief that wheat
grew wild in the Trigis and Eu.

CAL0NEL At ALL
It's Quicksilver, SaIivates,

Bone Decay

The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. 1t may shock your
liver to start bone necrosis. Gallo.
mel is dangerous. 1t is mercury,
quicksilver. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con.
stipated and all knocked out, just go
TO your druggist and get a bottle
Of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few
cents which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or
d wildcat. Take Dodsons Liver
Tone which straightens you right up
end makes you feel fine. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
