W!Et CHOIRS BY WIRELESS COMMAND ALL-RUSSIAN CENSUS , (By Associated Press) MOSCOW', Sept. 20. (Soviet Official Wireless) Wireless instructions "to all political sections" have gone forth from the bolshevik central committee here that an all-Russian census is to be taken, which, it is explained, "is essential with a view to discovering the weak places in the soviet fabric and to relieving each other's want and disorganization." As in private property," the circular adds, "so in the property of the whole state, each individual part depends on the other parts. "Latterly," tire decree proceeds, "the town populations have moved in large numbers td the country. Regarding the workers, tradesmen and specialists we do not know how many there are, nor where they are. It is essential to discover and reckon up this working force. When this is done, there will be a possibility of correctly distributing them." It Is further explained that a census of children is necessary in order to know how many schools, kindergartens and creches should be opened. The illiterate must be registered in order to know where there are many, and to send teachers there. Old, crippled and otherwise disabled people must be registered so as to know how they may be assisted, and how to provide for them. Agricultural returns must be made so as to know the number of people working on the land ; whether they are provided for, what they are cultivating and where there are waste and uncultivated lands. It will then be clear where help must be sent, what seeds and machinery must be ordered from abroad, how much cattle is necessary, etc., and the same applies to factories, mines and all industrial plants. The point is to discover the weak spots, and how they may be healed, says the circular. Funeral Arrangements Deuker Funeral services for Mm Anna Deuker, R7 years old, who died Friday night, at her home, 117 South Seventh street, were conducted at 2 p m. Monday.

Morgan it went wide of its mark, for the head of the great banking firm of J. r. Morgan & Co. was in EuroDe. Had he been killed by the bomb Ameri ca would have lost its most noted financier. The prenent head of the house of Morgan took a commanding position in the world of finance when his father, John Pierpont Morgan, died in 1913. The younger Morgan had spent 12 years in the London branch of J. P. Mor J,P. Morgan. gan & Co. from 1889 until 1901 and had been one of the partners of the New York branch of the Morgan company an equal number of years before his father's death. Morgan was one of the great figures in the whole world of finance during the European war. His first loan was $12,000,000 to Russia. Less than six months after the war started the Morgan firm was appointed commercial . agent of the British government in the U. S., thereafter conducting the purchase of all munitions and supplies for Britain in this country. It made a loan of $50,000,000 to the French government in April, 1915, and organized a syndicate of about 2,200 American banks and floated a loan of $500,000,000 to the allies in September, 1915. The present J. P. Morgan is now a director of the U. S. Steel corporation, of the International Mercantile Marine company, the Pullman company, N. P. Railway company and of the N. Y. and Harlem R. R. company. Morgan was born at Irvlngton, N. Y., in 1887. He graduated from Harvard in 18S9. mm.

Overworked Men Need More Strength Here is a Suggestion That Has Helped Others. Men who are in good physical condition do not feel the strain of daily work. It is those who are undernourished and allow their blood to get into a thin, devitalized condition who arc always tired and consider themselves overworked. It Is not the work, but the condition of the body, that make.' them feel so. There are many men here who can prove from personal experience, that Vinol is just the remedy such men need. We know of many cases where it has quickly and permanently restored normal health with a quicken ing of eneigy, mainly because it enriches the blood and makes the food they eat nourish and build up bodily health.
