CHICAGO, Aug. 7. Kliliu Root.
wlio, with other members of the
American mission to Russia, which
has completed its work, was in Chi
cngo today, said that as n matter
of fact there is scarcely more disor
der in Itussiu than there is in the!
."nit od Slates.
"Certain disturbances nre incvit
able in a change of government so
radical ns that of lfnssia," said Mr.
ItiMit, "and cable dispatches deal
hugely with the disturbances. Hence
ther public has gained an impression
that there is little doing on there ex
cept demonstrations. As a matter
of. fact, if reports on American af
fairs disseminated in ltussia oonoen
(rntcil on our own litlio disturbances
race riols, the I. W. W. nnd the
ICke Russians would have about the
sjune picture of us that we now have
of them.
"I have failh in tho new Russian
ministry nnd in the Russian future
ns an important element in the aims
of the entente allies. Russian women
are doinr a wonderful work in sham
ing the men into fighting, nnd, where
necessary, I hope American women
will follow their example."

Where Cash Beats Credit
There is a slnni'-' pnibnbility that
the school hmtri! will heat the schools
of the citv with coal instead of
wood. Such aclion will be taken at
a siecinl meeting of the hoard to be
held in the near future, unless more
bids for wood conic in soon.
Kir weeks the board has advertis
ed for bids for .'100 cords of wood,
but up to today only one bid was
filed, and tluir yesterday. If wood
is to be used it must be stacked up
ill the school yards by September Jj
ready for use. All 'the wood con
tractors, due to the shortace of la
bor, seem afraid to take on a con
tract of such bitr sir.e.
Ilecnuse of the luck of bids so far
the board has been invest'eratinsr the
possible use of coul, nnd has found
that it can get all the conl of Rood
rrade it needs from Washington state
much cheaper Hum it can get wood.

How often we hear the expression

husband sees it. She realizes It her
self with a pang. Often she knows
the reason, some female derangement
has fastened Itself upon her and
makes It almost impossible for her to
drag around from day to day. Such
