Died ct rremature Old Age!
H°'V many times we hoar of com
paratively young persons passing away
when thay should have lived to be 70
or SO years of age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri
ous the poisons passing thru the kid
neys iho quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to pre
rent premature old age and promote
long life, to lighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty of pure water ail day long,
mni occasionally taking Anuric, double
Strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

THOUSANDS
OF EXILES
QUIT SIBERIA
Tymun, Siberia—Fifty thousand
sledges, carrying victims of the old
regime back to freedom in the new
Russian government from convict
camps of Siberia are speeding in end
less chain across the snow of north
Asia toward the nearest points on the
trans-Siberian railway. The passen
gers range from members of the old
terrorist societies to exiles who were
banished by administrative decree
without trial or even known offense.
It i». a race against time as the
spring thaw is imminent and the roads,
even in the coldest settlements of the
lower Lena, will Boon be impassable.
Exiles who do not reach the railroad
within a fortnight must wait six weeks
or two months until the ice melts and
river navigation begins.
Carry Story of Freedom.
In order to witness this unprece
dented migration, a correspondent of
the Associated Press came here in
company with a member of the duma,
M. Rosenoff and two members of the
former council of empire. The three
officials were sent by the provisional
government to explain to the natives
in these remote Russian outposts, the
nature of the great change which has
come to the country. Their mission
carries them to some scores of thous
ands of heathen Asiatic tribesmen and
they are especially directed to instruct
voters in regard to the coming consti
tutional assembly which will decide
the form of Russia’s new government.
The liberation of Siberia’s prisoners
has barely began. West of'the Urals,
the Associated Press correspondent
only encountered a handful of exiles,
who, when the revolution began, were
at or near the railroad. The ilrst large
party was encountered when the Si
berian express roadbed Ekaterinburg
in the Urals. It consisted of 150 po
litical convicts and administrative
exiles and 20 members of the Jewish
revolutionary band, mostly from the
Verkholenski district, west of Lake
Baikal. The exiles were traveling in
special cars and had been on the road
continuously from March 24, five days
after they first heard of the revolution.
The cars were met l»y a vast crowd
at the railroad station which cheered
them tumultously. The returning exiles
returned cheers, but they were in a
deplorable physical condition, shaggy,
uncouth, unwashe’ and extremely
emaciated. Many were crippled with
rheuipatism, two had lost hands and
fee<®from frost bites and one, who at
tempted flight a week before the revo
lution, had been shot in the leg when
he was recaptured. He was lying In
a prison hospital when he learned that
he was a free man.
Exiles Hurry West.
The exiles had started west so hur
riedly that they arrived in an extraor
dinary variety of Incongruous garb.
Some wore new costumes which had
been supplied by sympathizers along
their route and some had handsome fur
overcoats covering their hideous jail
uniform. Among those who wore this
latter costume was a young millionaire
aristocrat from Odessa, who had been
sentenced to life 10 years ago for fo
menting a revolutionary mutiny in the
Black sea fleet. Others of the party
wore shaggy sheep and woolen skins
as a protection against the bitter Si
berian blasts. One man from the
Irkutsk city jail wore the gold braided
uniform tunic of the dismissed gov
ernor of Irkutsk under a- ragged and
greasy overcoat.
All Ekaturinburg gathered to do
honor to the exiles and a dinner was
hastily improvised at which a speech
was delivered by Sophia Vasneff, who
spent seven years in different Siberian
penal villages for possessing revolu
tionary letters. As soon as the news of
the revolution spread through Siberia
those exiles who had means started for
the nearest railway, traveling day and
night in the Arctic cold on peasant
sledges or government post sleighs.
100,000 Are Liberated.
An enormous number of sledges from
widely scattered settlements, converged
on Irkutsk, and so congested the trails
that the movement was held up, some
times for hours. Five days after the
triumph of the revolution, 6,000 exiles
entered Irkutsk, but the vast majority
were unable to proceed west owing to
the lack of rolling stock. These en
camped about the town and supplies for
at least a month will be needed before
they can be sent home.
The president of the exile reception
committee, in Ekaterinburg gave the
correspondent a general picture of the
present conditions and prospects of the
exiles. He said that there was probably
altogether 100,000 persons in Siberia
who had been released under the
amnesty measure of provisional gov
ernment. This number comprises poli
tical offenders including terrorists con
victed.
Terrorist Tells Story.
The crowd at the station cheered the
famous terrorist Nicolai Anuikhin who
shot and killed the chief of the Petro
grad-Warsaw railway in 1906. His vic
tim, General Fuchloff, was about to
kidnap 400 railroad strikers and send
them to Siberia. Anuikhin, who intro
duced himself to the correspondent as
"a released jail bird” is a gigantic,
broad shouldered, elderly man with a
gray imperial and an excited manner of
speech. Ho said:
"After one year in European con
vict prisons I spent 10 years in the
Alexandrovsk prison, 50 miles from
Irkutsk. This is the biggest convict Jail
in Russia and contains 12,000 ordinary
criminals and about 500 political pris
oners. mostly sentenced to life “Kut
roga”, the severest form of prison pun
ishment. I spent the first five years in
the so called probation class, with
hands and feet manacled and chained
to a wheelbarrow which I had to take
everywtiere. in addition I was repeated
ly flogged by order of the governor. The '
assistant governor, during the absence !
of his chief, ordered floggings for his I
own satisfaction.
The refugees include terrorists con- j
victed after trial, persons suspected of i
furthering revolutionary propaganda !
and exiled without trial by order of the i
secret police, gendarmerie or the min- |
ister of the interior; finally, some tens
of thousands of peasants exiled without
trial by decrees of the village commu
nal councils. Many of the latter will
remain in Siberia voluntarily, where
conditions of life and work are excel
lent under the reform government.
15,000 in One Camp.
One of tiie largest convict settle
ments was in Yakuba, in northeast Si
beria. where about 15,000 exiles and
convicts lived in semi-liberty, in the
mining district of Nertchinsk 109 exiles,
including seven women convicted of
conspiring against the emperor, have
been released. The first to be freed
was the famous Marie Spiridonova,
who killed a colonel of gendarmes for
torturing prisoners. She was herself
tortured and abused for seven days
, and then sentenced to death by a field
1
court martial. After her release she
fell ill and is now In a hospital in
‘Tchita.
At Tyumen the correspondent met a
second train load of exiles from the
Idkutsk prison and penal settlements
of Tobolsk and Tumsk.
"The newly formed committee of
public safety, unable to find black
smiths, drove the still chained convicts
to the dismissed governor’s palace,
where a banquet had been prepared and
we had our first free meal. Above the
din of speeches and cheers for the Rus
sian republic could be heard the jang
ling of our shackles.”
Prom Tobolsk prison there were also
released 50 soldiers, sentenced to life
for mutiny during the revolution of
1905, leaders in the Livonian peasant
riots and others who were sentenced
for agrarian offenses.
Another liberated exile was Sophia
Lijnaitzky, a pretty girl of 19 from
Vitebsk, who was arrested a year ago
on suspicion of being engaged In po
litical propaganda, and was spirited
away to the remote Siberian village of
Kiutun. She was allowed $2 a month
by the government for her living ex
penses and managed to exist by teach
ing adult peasants to read and write.
Relating her experiences, she said:
“In my village ihe police themselves,
wearing red badges, were tlie first to
announce the revolution. Immediately
there was a frantic competition among
the exiles to get home The first off,
two girls, who started, were without
proper equipment and were overtaken
by a blizzard near Vrekolensk and, it is
said, were frozen to death."
Another girl, who had been exiled to
a place near the shores of Lake Baikal,
said that the news of the revolution
was first given out by the village
priest In church. At once 50 exiles,
who were in the congregation, rushed
out, determined on vengeance on the
local captain, who was a wanton ty
rant. They were met by the police
man's 10-year-old daughter, who stood
before her father and exclaimed:
"Kill me first."
The child's action saved the captain's
life.
in Tyumen are convicts anil adminis
trative ex lien wlio were on their way to
prison and exile when the revolution
occurred. These immediately started to
return to Europe. Among them were
found Basil Muravin, sentenced to
death in 1907. for beginning the "mili
tant organization of the social revolu
tionary party." Muravin spent the first
five years in the Schlusselburg fortress
on Luke Ladoga ttien four years in
other European prisons, including iho
one at Pekov where he was flogged
seven times by the governor, Baron
Mode. He was then dispatched to Si
beria to end his days as an exile on
the tipper Lena. Muravin gave the fol
lowing account of hts liberation:
On His Way to Prison.
"When the revolution occurred, I
was in the small Udinsk transport pris
on awaiting the arrival of other con
victs for dispatch together to the east. 1
had long lost hope of pardon, when 1
learned that I was free. The discovery
came in a most dramatic way. I was at
the time in chains as a new corner of
unknown character. I heard a woman
shouting and after a terrific rifle firing.
It was sounded as if 1,000,000 tartridges
had exploded in quick succession. Next
bullets began to fly over the prison
yard. Finally a bullet cut the halyard
of the Russian flag which waved over
the prison building. The flag dropped
on the roof and shortly afterward a
crowd stormed the prison and hoisted
there a revolution ensign.
“My last experience of the old regime
was a visit by the former governor of
the jail, who fearing retaliation, begged
me to sign a statement acquitting him
of ill treatment. Though his treatment
of the convicts had been bad, I agreed,
not desiring to mar Russia's new free
dom by acts of petty vengeance."
Kissing the Rod.

Having- stood for unpreparedness to
make war as long as wp have, perhaps
we now deserve to stand for Senator La
Folfctte another day. .Speaking with
strict justness—a thing admittedly hard
to do—the senator is not more obstruct
ive than some of the other pieces of gov
ernmental machinery in Washington that
keep flying out of place every time the
power is turned on. The senator merely
seems worse because he flies out from his
center just at a time when we think the
wheels are going to start.
If we can teach ourselves to think of
Senator La Follette as a penance given to
us for our past sins of dilatoriness and
general national trilling and inefficiency,
we might even come to regard him as '
having a certain usefulness. lie might
serve as a sort of national gout, and
every time we get a twinge of him we
would not need to be told that we had
been departing from the path of our
proper national regimen.
Individuals sometimes learn after suf- .
fleient experience that if they would avoid
the nightmare they must not eat mince,
pie before going to bed. and it is not too
much hope that the nation may yet learn ■
that if it would keep Senator L»» Follette !
off its chest at times when It has particu- '>
lar use for its-breathing apparatus it must '
be on guard against his visitations. Ho ’
can be thrown off, just as a cold can be j
thrown off, if the nation’s business is 1
kept in good and healthy trim, but if it
is all run down like the army and navy j
and the chairmanship of the foreign rela- j
tions committee it will catch him sure. (
The present spell of La Follette from j
which the country is suffering probably j
has about run its course. We ought to j
be up by tomorrow and taking our full
meals by the day after. But if we man
age to shake him off this time without
being seriously laid up we really ought
to take a firm resolve that v’e won’t de- j
serve him again until we are safely over ,
the other national affliction we are now j
called upon to bear. j
War is a bad enough visitation for any
nation, but to have war and La Follette
both at the same time w’ould be pure J
carelessness. So let’s take care of our- j
selves and maybe the doctors can pull us !
through the major trial at least.

Will Parrott, the well known ex-editor
of the Waterloo Reporter, was placed un
der arrest on the floor of the state senate
yesterday, and led out of the room. Will
was lobbying for a bill to preserve the life
of the quail of the state. Mr. Parrott is a
farmer at the present time, and he real
izes that the quail is an Insect destroyer;
therefore a valuable creature. But there
aro lots of sportsmen who want to kill
the quail, ‘and there are a lot of qthei
men who say that if the quail arc not per
mitted to he killed, the amount of money
now annually received for hunter's li
censes would be reduced. If the hunter's
license fund is reduced, fewer game war
dens can be employed, and therefore the
jobs for loyal partisans will be fewer.
There are not enough jobs now, and those
who are running our polities are having
(iifilculty in satisfying the hungry job
hunters. Will Parrott now knows what
it is to be under arrest. His father waa
a state senator; was also lieutenant-gov
ernor. Will played around on the senate
floor when ho was a boy. It was cruel
to put him out. He ought to get Ren Sal
inger's recipe. They never put Ben out.
