will handicap the "government in its

commissioner of social welfare and
tlTe "Only woman honored by the bol
sheviki with a cabinet position, has
returned to Moscow after an unsuc
cessful attempt to enter western Eu
tope to make a general crusade on

Armed with many tons of literature
and accompanied by 12 assistants,
Madame Kollantay tried to get to
Sweden through Finland, but Finnish
white guards turned the party back.
Going to Helsingfors, the party em
barked on a small ship convoyed by
a Russian warship. The commander
of the warshtp was not a sympathizer
with the crusade, and led the other
ship into a mine field,' where he aban
doned it. .
Madame Kollantay and her party
found refuge on ice floes which drifted
ashore on the Aland islands. Her
they were arrqsted by Swedish troops,
who finallyvreleased them when a
threat was rriade that all Swedes in
-Russia would be arrested in retalia
tion. ' . - -
Although Madame, Kollantay re
signed from the cabinet because she
was opposed to tlie organization of an
army of defense, she is supporting the
bolsheyik party and is now organizing

spread of socialistic jjoctrine. Because
of her treatment on the Aland islands,
the bolshevik government has decided
to deny to Sweden the right' to send
diplomatic couriers through Russian
territory.

F you were to make an actual blood test

therefore nothing you eat does you goo

corn through a mill with the rollers so wide
