3 and and PKTROCRAD, May 4. The bravery of the women soldiers who have managed to get into the Russian army is again strikingly recalled by the decoration bestowed upon a Russian sister of charity, Mile, lvanoff, and the proposed decoration of Tanja Kak-ourine, a girl 16 years old. Mile. lvanoff, finding herself close to a company which had lost all its officers placed herself at its head and captured a hostile trench before which the troops were hesitating. Mortally wounded, she was by imperial command, decorated with the Cross of St.

He as about the hotel lobby a good pirt of the evening, retiring to his room about midnight. From then until toe body was discovered last night nothing was heard from him. Hody on Red During yesterday afternoon one of the maids of the hotel made several attempts to gain access to the rjom of Mr. Guthrie, knocking lightly on the door on each occasion. Receiving no response, she concluded the occupant was sleeping and did not care to be disturbed.

When she went off duty last night, however, she notified ilie night maid on that floor of her failure to arouse the occupant of the room and the night maid then attempted ti tain admittance. It was she who finally-notified Mr. Schenck, who gained admittance by boosting a bellboy over the transom, the bellboy turning the key that he found in the lock on the inside of the door. It was dark in the room when Mr, Schenck entered. Switching on the electric lights he saw the body lying partly on its side in the bed, the head on a pillow- and the arms folded across the chest.

On the bed by the side of the dead man, just beyond the reach of the right hand, was a revolver. On the foot of the bed was an open magazine, turned face downward, indicating that Guthrie had been reading. Had Notes For Dr. Duncan, upon examining tho revolver, found in it five empty shells. It is his opinion, however, that only two shots were fired in the hotel room.

In one of the pockets of the dead man's trousers was found $1.25 in small change, and in a coat pocket were found two notes made out in favor of Guthrie, one for $3t! and the other for $321. Two accident insurance policies also were found in a coat pocket, and on the back of one was scribbled in lead pencil the words: "In case of accident notify Hadie Guthrie. Xew Castle. Ky."

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti pation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside.

This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa ter with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse: purify and freshen the entire alimen tary tract, before putting more food in to the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless.

except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Adv.
