THE LAMPASAS DAILY LEADER
MOURN DEAD CHIEF
Russian Peasants Fail on Knees
Before Urn of Ashes.
Member of American Commission to
New Empire Explains Keys to
Their Political Play.
“The kqys to the Russian political
play are, after all, simple, and to be
found in simple events,” says Charles
Edward Russell, who was sent by 1 res-
ident Wilson with the American com-
mission to new Russia. Here is one
such simple event erf he gives it in
Hearn’s Magazine:
“There is a place on the Trans-
Siberian railroad called Passing Point
No. 37, a brown little speck on the
Illimitable emptiness of the Siberian
plains. On the 23d of May there came
marching up to it a procession of
farmers*—about forty of them, I think
-—carrying red flags. They tramped
solemnly along what in Siberia, by a
violence of speech, is called a road,
and is, in fact, not otherwise than a
trail of ruts in black gumbo mud.
“A passenger train was coming from
the east, from Vladivostok. At Pass-
ing Point No. 37 it took the sidetrack
to wait for the train it was to meet,
Of a sudden the processionists were
seen to line up in front of the baggage
car, to fall on their knees there, to lift
their hands in attitudes of prayer, the
while they uttered strange, wailing
cries and many wept.
"What were they crying about? They
had learned that in that baggage car
were the ash^s of a Russian revolu-^
tionist, an old-time hero-.of the long,
long struggle. He had been condemned
by the czar to one of the worst pris-
ons in coldest Siberia; he had man-
aged to escape and in the end to get
to America. There he died, and his
body was cremated. Now his ashes in
a draped memorial urn were being car-
ried in. state back to that free Russia
he had dreamed of and suffered for,
But note:
“Of the peasants that fell on their
knees before that handful of dust that
day, about one-half could not read. All
of them, you might think, lived, in a
region farther from the world and its
affairs than is Cape Nome from the
Bowery. Yet all of them knew well
enough the name of this dead hero and
all his deeds, and instinctively all
knelt before his ashes that they might,
testify at once their reverence for himi
and the fervor of their own revolu-
tionary faith.
“But what did that procession mean,
wandering red-flagged nlong the black
ruts of lonely Siberia? It meant that
the peasants were making a ‘demon-
stration.’ Demonstration about what?
Why, if you will believe me, against
the Austrian government’s sentence of
death against Frederick Adler, slayer
of the Austrian prime minister.
“And there you are: that is Russia.
Also, you may see in this incident how
deep In the heart of every peasant and
toiler are at least the rudiments of the
revolution’s creed.”
Why People Get Fat.
Among curious popular fallacies is
the idea that an individual may be-
come obese without eating too rfiuch
and may remain obese even when very
little food is taken. If a person, each
day, eats a butter ball weighing only
a third of an ounce in excess of the
food actually needed, it seems trifling,
insignificant; but continued over a
year It would involve a gain in weight
of nine pounds of fatty tissue or in
10 years of 90 pounds. An ounce of
breed, or half a glass of milk, more
than the food requirements for the
day will bring about the same result.
Conversely, if the quantity of food
taken be only slightly below the needs
of the body, some of the body’s own
fat Is used and the body weight falls,
a process which may be extended over
a long period of time.—Dr. Graham
Luck, in the World’s Work.
Japanese Playing Golf.
Some of the new millionaires of Ja-
pan have taken up golf, which they
play on links maintained In the most
approved style. They are building
country houses like castles of old in
splendor. They are following many
American and European ways, and yet,
lavishly as they are scattering large
Incomes in air, they are wonderfully
Influenced by subtle refinements inher-
ited from their ancestors. For the
pleasures of the table they care little.
Mostly the extravagance of the newly
rich of Japan finds vent in endowing
colleges, assembling treasures of lit-
erature and art, and ministering to
those senses and desires through which
men nourish the soul.
Death to Apple Worm.
The apple worm’s mamma, from
whose eggs the destructive larvae de-
velop. is the coddling moth. One cure
for the mischief Is to spray the trees
with arsenical or other mineral poi-
sons. The worms eat the poisoned
leaves and die. Thanks to this treat-
ment, the choice grades of apples now-
adays come to market in perfect condi-
tion, with no wormholes and no worm*
RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem-
edy.
It is a physician’s prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. Dr. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. It helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in-
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test, this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. YT., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.

Housekeepers Can Save
$200,000,000 on Food
In these days when the high cost of liv-
ing pinches nearly every home, no waste
should be overlooked. One of the most
flagrant and the most easily prevented, is
tlie destruction of food by rats. One rat
will often do a hundred dollars’ damage of
food arid property in a single night, and a
carefufc estimate gives over $200,000,000 as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. Exterminate them with
Stearns’ Paste and save this enormous
loss of food. A small box of Stearns’
Paste costs only 35 cents and is usual-
ly enough to completely rid the house of
rats and mice; also effective against cock-
roaches and waterbugs. Adv.

Least of Two Evlf*.
An employee in the office of a noisy
munition plant was absent from work
one morning. After luncheon, how-
ever, he presented himself. He looked
pretty bad, but he claimed that he was
ready for work.
“Why, what are you doing down
here?” cried the boss. “Your wife tel-
ephoned that you probably wouldn’t
be able to work for several days. She
said you were on the verge of nerv-
ous prostration, and that the least
noise was bad for you. Why didn’t
you stay at home?”
“Well,” answered the wage slave,
raising his voice to be heard above the
distracting din. “I did get through
with the morning at home. But my
wife had a bridge party this afternoon,
so I thought I’d be better off down
here.”
THIS IS THE AGE OF YOUTH.
You will look ten years younger if you
darken your ugly, grizzly, gray hair* by

Outdoor Barbering.
Shaving in the street was the way a
Beckenham, Ireland, barber got over
a difficulty recently. The customer
was a wounded soldier, and the man's
invalid chair was too wide to enter
the barber shop. Accordingly the bar-
ber went to his customer, and shaved
him in the street.

relieved at once and save strain on

Suffered Several
Years. PERUNA
Mrs. Elizabeth Reuther, 1002 11th
St., N. W., Washington, D. C., writes :
“I endorse Peruna as a splendid
medicine for catarrh and stomach
trouble, from which I suffered sev-
eral years. I took it for several
months, found my health was re-
stored and have felt splendidly ever
since. I now take it when I con-
tract a cold, and it soon rids the sys-
tem of any catarrhal tendencies.”

cines can procure Peruna Tablets*

Are Here Told the Best Remedy
for Their Troubles.
Freemont, O.—“I was passing through the critical
period of life, being forty-six years of age and had all
the symptoms incident to that change — heat flashes,
nervousness, and was in a general run down condition,,
so it was hard for me to do my work. Lydia E. Pink-'
ham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended to me as
the best remedy for my troubles,which it surely proved
to be. I feel better and stronger in every way since
taking it; and the annoying symptoms have disap-
peared.”—Mrs. M. Godden, 925 Napoleon Sb, Fremont,
Ohio.
North Haven, Conn.—“Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta-
ble Compound restored my health after everything else
had failed when passing through change of life. There
is nothing like it to overcome the trying symptoms.”
—Mrs. Flobence Isella, Box 197, North Haven, Conn.

Your Watch-Dog Liver
»■
It Keeps You Well
Your liver acts as a watch-dog and helps to keep
your system free from poisons, and from the diseases
due to self-poisoning.
Your health may depend upon keeping your
liver active.
A purifying medicine is frequently needed, to
stir up your liver into the proper activity, induce the
bowels to act freely and purge the system from del-
eterious matter.
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been doing this
successfully for many years, and is today one of the
favorite liver medicines in the South, where liver
medicines are so much used.
Prepared from purely vegetable ingredients,
Black-Draught has none of the bad effects so often
observed from the use of Calomel or other mineral
drugs.
It acts naturally, promptly, reliably, and has
helped thousands back to a healthy condition of
stomach, liver and bowels.
Black-Draught has been successfully used in
cases of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Torpid Liver, Bil-
iousness, Sick Headache, Backache, Constipation,
etc. Thousands of men and women have written to
tell of its good results. It is a family stand-by for
young and old, in thousands of American homes.
Mr. K. J. McKinney, of Mt. Vernon, Ky.,
writes: “I was a merchant... and this kept me
very closely confined. This confinement brought on
constipation and... severe headaches. I lost my ap-
petite, got very thin and there seemed to be a lump
in my stomach after every meal. I had THED-
EORD’S BLACK-DR AUGHT in stock... I took
down a package to the house.. .and began using it
Regularly.. .The indigestion soon disappeared. I
rested better. Next thing I knew I was gaining in
weight.BLACK-DRAUGHT is without doubt the
best liver medicine on the market.”
