Manchester, Eng., April 24-Correspon-dents
from Russia have wired here that
Father Gopen has been hanged by the
revolutionists of Russia. His former
followers alleged that he was guilty of
being a spy on the revolutionists and
making efforts to get some of his friends
to act as spies also. Last summer the
learned Father had been a leader of
many gangs of revolutionists and has
done more for the cause than any other
man, for the reason that he furnished
the plans and did all the planning. Some
time ago ha issued a proclamation that
brought down the wrath of the authorities
and ha was forced to hide in the interior.
Withid a few days he was heard of again
leading a crowd of revolutionionists.
When the suspicion became prevalent
that he was a spy, he was promptly
hanged.

A HIDDEN
MENACE
TO HEALTH
A large variety of the most
ually be stamped out by improved sanitation. These "are
germ diseases. The difficulty of coping with them now is
the difficulty of realizing that such germs are about us all the
time, always ready to multiply and mnace health whenever
cond tions are favorable. The way to guard against these
dangers is to use RELIABLE DISINFECTANTS frequ e n t ly
and thoroughly. Cellars, sinks, drains, closets, and all dark
and damp places about the home or premises should be
frequently disinfected, especially at this time of the year.
We have materials suitable for every purpose and if desired
can advise you what to use In any particular instance.
