J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau In the United States, representing in this country the Russian democratic anti-Bolshevist forces. This material came to Mr. Sack through Prof. Boris Sokoloff, a leading member of the party of Socialist-Revolutionists and deputy to the First Ail-Russian constitutional anaarably. Professor Sokoloff is now in Prague, Chechoslovakia. The statement sayB that according to official Bolshevist statistics 420 Russian scientists died of starvation Boring the last three years. The names of the Russian scientists who wrote these letters were not given, as this. It Is said, would expose diem to Bolshevist persecution. Describing the conditions under which the scientists are now living in Russia, Professor X, writes: •These years have been one Continuous horror. . . .

(Prepared by the United States Department ot AsrlcultureJ Washington.--Although legislative measures for the protection of wild fowl have multiplied, and have added to the restrictions. cm hunters, these regulations have not been sufficient to maintain these, game birds in their former abundance. Regions that once were the summer homes of myriads of wild ducks have been drained and placed under cultivation, and extensive areas where the birds at one time bred are now populous farming communities. These changes, say biologists of die United States Department of Agriculture, have crowded out the former feathered residents apd have served in a corresponding degree to reduce their numbers. Realization of these facts has, led Navy Plane for Commercial Uses Navy coast patrol flying boat, converted into a six-seat passenger-carrying flying limousine. This is die first of a series of navy flying boat* te be released for commercial purposes. f recently to the adoption of other measures to encourage waterfowl. A number of extensive marsh areas have been made permanent refuges under the guardianship of the Department of Agriculture, and many private preserves, some formed by artificial means, have been established where the birds are protected while nesting. As a means of co-operating in such efforts to maintain and Increase the number of waterfowl, the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has undertaken Investigations of the general conditions under ' which wild ducks live and thrive, coupled with counts of the birds fougd In areas varying In character. During three summers, field studies were made dealing with wild ducks In the Bear river marshes in Utah, a report of which has just been published by the department In Department Bulletin 936, Wild Ducks and Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes, Utah. During the three seasons devoted to this work 12 species of ducks and the Canada goose were found breeding iu the region included In the Bear river marshes, which cover an extensive area at the northern end of Great Salt Lake. In an enumeration made during May and June, 1916, of the 11 species of breeding ducks 3,560 pairs were counted, and it Is believed that this number represents between 60 and 100 plr cent of the total number of breeding ducks occurring here that season. Vast Number In One Region. Allowing five young reared to ma> tntity as the average for each pair, and* considering 1916 as an average season, the bulletin states that, at a conservative estimate, between 25,000 and 30,000 wild ducks, native to the, marsh, are to be found there at the close of the breeding season. It was found that, in addition to the large number of birds reared on the Bear river area, many other ducks came In after the nesting season to remain there until fall. That birds from the Bear river section range widely 'after leaving these marshes has been shown by records of ducks that have 'been banded and released there- and subsequently were shot elsewhere. Records thus obtained show that birds released near the mouth of Bear river In migration cover the region ft*om Oklahoma to Texas and west to California. The department urges the establishment of a greater number of preserves where wild fowl may breed and rest unmolested and . find an urn* pie supply of food.

SECRET RETREAT IS FOUND for Insuraaei Often Rejected. Judging from reports who are constantly in direct tench with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming "these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realised. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astenishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is on sale st all drug stores in bottles of two medium and large. However, if you first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N.

Twentieth century traffic hurried along the business street in Columbus, while behind the dirty window pane she lived after the manner of a hermit in a cave. Her retreat was found when painters peered Into the window. For days the room's Inhabitant was watched for. Late one night she was seen to scurry up the steps. Police investigated and found an unkempt room, cobwebbed and filthy. In a corner was a pile of dirty rags, the aged woman's bed. She told officials she had lived hi the room 15 years without paying rent She left it, she said, before dawn and returned at midnight. No One ever saw her come or go, and her existence was suspected but not know®. She was turned over to the Associated Charities. This organization, however, is searching for her.
