Story of Economic Chaos in Russia Related by Propaganda Witness. AnBoclaled Preaa.l WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. A story of economic chaos, oppression and tyranny in Russia, under the Bolshevik rule, was unfolded today before the senate judiciary subcommittee at the beginning of its inquiry into Bolshivik, I.

Huntington, former commercial attache of the American embassy in Petrograd, who related in detail his experiences ' before . being compelled by intolerable conditions to leave Russia last fall. Prof. Samuel N. Harper of the University of Chicago, a student of Russian affairs, also was before the committee, explaining the development of the Bolshevik theory of government. He said there had been much misrepresentation of Russia in the American press, but declared enough evidence had come through to demonstrate that Bolshevism had been a failure in most ways. Only a small part of the hearing today was devoted to Bolshevik propaganda in this country. Dr. Huntington said the Bolshevik leaders constantly endeavored in snrosri their

doctrine through other countries and ; 4.1 A. . a mm I

Four hundred thirty-six thousand, two hundred deaths were caused in Mexico during 1918 by the influenza, according to data published by El Universal.

The bridge committee of the South Side Improvement association takes exception to the statements of County Treasurer E. J. Weidner in an article from his pen opposing the erection of the South Side bridge. The committee claims that Weidner i3 indulging In surmises and personal prophecies rather than in facts, and makes the following statement: "When Mr. Weidner claims that a saving of $25,000 could be effected by postponing the erection of the South Si'le bridge for a year or two, he is merely expressing a personal opinion without any actual fact3 to substantiate his position, which is not upheld, in turn, by the facts presented by County Engineer Mueller at the discussion in the court house on Monday. Now Is the Logical Time. "Mr. Mueller showed by irrefutable facts at that time that the present was the most logical time for the erection of the Souh Side bridge because of the declining market and the fact that a saving could be effected by using the paraphernalia and machinery now being used in the construction of the Main street bridge. Mr. Mueller

further demonstrated tha the law of supply and demand would force the prices of material and labor up within the next year or two. 'broke and that he had to loan, it "In the statement that the city is Where Did It Come From? 518,000, Mr. Weidner raises the question as to where the $18,000 came from and it is the presumption that it is the balance of the bridge fund that was loaned to the Main street bridge. "Everybody is in favor of good roads but the suggestion of Mr. Weidner that

the $200,000 be spent on gooa roaas instead of the bridge does not seem to us to be well taken since the building of the bridge will put property on the tax duplicate and make returns that the roads could not make. "His argument that the Doran bridge is in need of repairs is an old cry and was raised at the time the South Side bridge was first talked of seriously years ago. His further point that the people on the West Side whose avenue to the east side of the river is the Doran bridge must be given consideration rather than the 'commons and cornfields of the Southwest side,' is lamentably weak when the fact is considered that the 'commons and cornfields' were all that was on the WTest Side when the Doran bridge was built. Not S. S. I. A. Project "Mr. Weidner's statement that the 'Morton Lake and Park company was a dream of a few of the same men who are pushing the South Side bridge,' is absolutely false as everybody know3 that the South Side Improvement association has been working for the South Side bridge for years and that the Morton Lake project was a private one in which a different set of men were interested. "Mr. Weidner admits that the Morton Lake company has not paid its taxes and says that the city treasurer cannot pay the bonds in consequence and then goes on to point to the fact that he has been collecting delinquent taxes and has thus saved the county and city from ruin. "If Mr. Weidner is so keen about collecting delinquent taxes why doesn't he threaten to sell the Morton Lake property at public auction, or threaten suit against those behind the scheme like he threatens the laboring man with the confiscation and sale of I his household goods? This talk looks j very much like a grand stand play, j "We do not defend the delinquent'

tax payer but we do believe that if delinquents are to be dealt with harshly, the wage earner should not be the first one to be jumped on because he is helpless and not able to cope with the bulldozing tactics which Mr. Weidner would be afraid to apply to those

big delinquent tax payers who Bhould be gone after. "As to the statement that the small farmer and the workingmen will bear the burden of the taxes, this seems somewhat ridiculous In the light of the taxes paid by the big farmer and the manufacturer. "Mr. Weidner denies that he is leading a fight against the South Side bridge, but he seems to be the only person making any fight and he cannot advance either facts or figures to substantiate his claims."

What. Happens to the food you eat?

During digestion certain kinds of food containing proteins, such as meat, egg white, milk casein, wheat gluten, etc., are split into many different substances. Some of these the body uses to rebuild damaged or dead tissues; some, however, are not only useless and harmful but in some cases actually poisonous. Regular, thorough bowel evacuation gets rid of the latter. Constipation permits stagnation and absorption of these poisons into the blood, with injury to the whole body. Taking castor oil, pills, salts, mineral waters, etc., in order to force the bowels to move does not cannot cure constipationbut makes it worse. On the other hand Nujol overcomes constipation and brings about the habit of easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals, because Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug.

Nujol brings about a return to Nature's methods of supplying necessary lubrication of the bowel contents, by facilitating intestinal muscular action, by absorbing poisonous matter, and thus securing necessary cleansing of the intestinal canal and protection of the defensive properties of the blood itself. ICujol has no deleterious after effects, produces no bad habits, makes the bowels regular as clockwork. Nujol is efficient at any age under any conditions is satisfactory and safe. How and Why Nujol overcomes constipation is described in an interesting and authoritative booklet, "Thirty Fiet of Danger" tree on request.
