Well, it be= hooves you to do so, because an ant- arctic expedition is being planned.in England which has among its aims the novel one of determining the com- mercial possibilities of the south polar regions. The expedition will investi- gate the stories of vast mineral wealth supposed to exist in the polar reg- ions. As to whether human beings could live in the . South Polar reg- ions •long enough to exploit mines there, this is what the man who ex- pects to lead the expedition, . J. L. Cope, has to •say: "Few fields of commercial explora- tion are left which offer • such wide scope as the /antarctic continent and the islands lying in its approach. The coasts and the • islands contain fine harbors, Which in the northern. parts can be worked for a least six months in the year. The climate is easier to live in and the natural forces more easily contested than in Siberia or the Klondike. These lands are, there- fore, not inaccessible. "Manganese, coal, granite, marble and rubies have already been found there. Professor David Sydney of Sydney University, New South Wales, an eminent authority on antarctic geology, has shown that geologically the western antarctic mountains re- semble, the South' American Andes and has come to the conclusian from his researches, both in the antarctic and at home, that there is more than a possibility of finding gold." Besides minerals, there are whales. A member of the expedition, who has been to the antarctic on a previous exploration, told me that they hoped to find new whaling stations as the whales have deserted the old ones. The antarctic whaling industry is lucrative and extensive. But there Lire still vast, uncharted areas, where proper scientific exploration might well lead to great new whale fisheries. The cost of the expedition, which is to be known as the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition, is put at about $700,000. A council, of which the lord mayor of London is chairman, has been formed to raise the money. The Terra Nova, a vessel famous in ant- artic annals, has been obtained for the venture. She Will be fitted with Beardmore oil engines and will carry 300 tons of kerosene. • Ordinary crude oil could not be taken as it. would freeze too quickly. The oil will be used also for the ship's galley and for heating stoves. Electric lighting, wireless and salvage pump- ing plants will form important items of equipmennt. "Only about two ships so far have gone to the antarctic equipped with wireless," I was told at the offices of the expedition. "Those ships had too short,a range to be of real value so far as keeping in touch with civiliza- tion was concerned. Our vessel will have a long range' equipment and telescopic masts on bases about eight feet square. When we are frozen in we shall erect them. There are big wireless stations within 1,000 to 2,000 miles of where we should be." The Terra Nova will carry 58 men. The commander, J. L. Cope, accom- panied the British Imperial Trans - Antarctic Expedition of 1914-16 as surgeon and biologist (Ross sea party). The chief of the scientific staff will be Captain H. H. Wilkins, chief of scientific staff on the Stefans- son expedition. It is being organiz- ed in connection with the Falkland islands dependencies and has the ap- proval of the Royal Geographical so- ciety. The Terra Nova is expected to leave England next June for Wellington, New Zealand. She will go.,rfrom Well- ington to Marquarie island, where a geological survey will be made. A wireless and meteorological station is to be established at Scott island and then she will proceed to the Rose sea to set up headquarters, probably at New Harbor. Parties will be land- ed :here and huts built for the main base. Another hut will be placed at Cape Crozier (Ross Island). and thence a party will set out on the barrier. The study of the emperior penguin t and the Antarctic winter at • this I point, which was begun. but not finish- , ed by Captain Scott, will be pursued. The barrier party will study the Ant- l arctic "''inter on the barrier surface. In the ' following summer it is ex- pected that the Terra Nova will pick both parties lip at Cape Crozier and d ' land them at New Harbor. Mean- time, the Terra Nova will have re- turned to Now Zealand for coal and provisions for four years. - From the expedition's headquarters WIIO ARE ILL This Woman Recommends Lydia E.

When the expedition returns, prob- ably in 1925, steps will be taken for •the commercial- development of the Antarctic, based on the discoveries made by Mr. Cope and his compan- ions, whose work, of course, will be purely scientific. GASSED MEN GET WELL IN MONTANA In the New,ork Tribune of recent date appearya:�..i. ,letter written by a Montana rafic1 i tin`s wife, living near Isrnaay, telling how her son, gas- sed in battle during the war, was finally brought back to health by breathing Montana -air and- living on plain ranch food. The Montana wo- man was moved to write to the Tri- bune, having seen notices of death of several returned soldiers due to gas. She believers that others afflicted might be cured if they came to this State. This is her letter as it appears in the New York Tribune: To the Editor of The Tribune: Sir, -I have noticed twice lately in the death notices in the Tribune "ef- fects of gassing" given as cause of death. Hence 1 am moved to write this letter. My son, who enlisted with the Brit- ish forces in - November, 1914, was invalided home on account of _ severe gassing in the autumn of 1918, and sent, with many others, on a hospital ship bound for Australia. The deaths were so numerous once they struck Port Said that any who cared to do so could return to England, and most of them did. My boy was able even- tually to get home to Montana last April. When he first returned he would lie for =a day at a time, panting. His lungs and heart were badly affected, and stomach also. Before leaving England niy uncle had him thorough- ly overhauled by a specialist, who told him his case was so bad that, unless he was very careful he would develop tuberculosis. He could not bear to get on a horse, and suffered severely at times for about three D�ubIe Murder and Suicide bu VIM but for the Grace of God. Not long ago a shamefully wronged husband started out to do away with his wife and the destroyer of his home. He was intercepted, reasoned with, pleaded with. After two days and two nights spent in prayer and medita- tion, through the manifesta- tion of the Holy Spirit he was turned from his intense and terrible passion to a magnificent attitude of for- giveness. The Instrument through which husband and wife were re- conciled -and a ghastly trag- edy prevented, -was a Sal- vation Army Officer. Such a .change of 'heart wrought by the Spirit is not rare in the world-wide experience of • the Salvation Army. 308 SERVICE POSTS IN THIS TERRITORY. USE THEM! weeks. Then he began to improve He ceased taking medicine for his heart; eould eat the plain ranch food (for, at first all he would take was unlimited milks, of which there, is al- ways abundance), and he would sleep nearly all. day. • This went on for about two months and at the end of that time he felt so well that he could work as well as any one around the ranch -ride after cattle, round up horses and even help in the corrals branding. In fact, bar- ring a cough which troubles hila at times (if he catches cold), he is as well'/ as ever he was. {{ 1 attribute his extraordinary recov- ery to robust health to the wonderful air of this state. Maybe the old-style t way we live on the ranch,.one of the oldest in Montana, had something to I do with it, but the air is so exhilar- ating, so dry and light, that it seems peculiarly suited to any one having trouble with his lungs. - My son, who suffered so terribly at first, eften said:"Mother, why don't you let other people know what old Montana has done for me?" To any one wishing to find out fur- ther particulars I will be glad to do all 1 can in giving reliable informa- tion. A RANCHER'S WIFE Isinay, Mont., November 25, 1919 LATEST ACCOUNT QF MURDER OF ItOMANOFFS Having formed the vicious habit of describing the fate of the late Czar and his ,family, it seems necessary to yield to it each time a fresh account comes to light. This time the ver- sion is that supplied by Col. George H. Emerson, of St. - Paul, formerly general • manger" of the Great Northern Railway, who recently re- turned from Russia. Col. Emerson was not an eyewitness, being sixty miles away from the scene of the murder on the night of July 17th. 1918; but his report was gathered from persons who were present and whose statements were included . ,in a special report on the subject made by Gen. Dietrichs. There was also an investigation made by some Czech officers, and on the whole one is probably justified in supposing that Col. Emerson's story is not less addicted to fact than the others that have preceded it. -Indeed, that there should be any difference of opinion over such a ' world famous tragedy a year and a half after it was 'enacted shows in what a chaotic - condition Russian affairs must have been since then. There has been no official statement of the Czar's' fate from the Bolshevists, which has Ieft open the way for occasional` -rumors that Nicholas escaped and is now in hiding. There appears to be no rea- son, however, fpr doubting that he was foully murdered with his wife and children. Nor is there reason to, doubt that his death was determined from the time that Bolshevists got control. The royal family were made prison- ers, but at first their confineinent was not oppressive. With the mem- bers of. the Court that remained faithful, they were conveyed, to Tobolsk. Then came the order that they should - go to Ekaterin- burg. At this time the Czar's son was ill, and he was left with a couple of his sisters and some ladies of the Court at Tobolsk while the Czar, the Czarina and other members of the family went -to the new prison. On their arrival they were subjected to close and unceremonious search, but they appear to have been able to conceal many valuable jewels which they had sewn in the liningf their clothing. Their guards showgd them little consideration and at times their attitude was intolerable. The treat- ment of the prisoners became worse, as the Czecho-Slovak forces approach- ed Ekaterinburg, and one theory of the Murders is that they were com- mitted in a blind panic by the Red Guards, who determined that the Czar should not fall into the hands of the Czechs. It is quite as probable that they. were ordered by Trotzky and Lenine, who feared that Nicholas might -become a rallying centre for the anti -Bolshevist Russian forces. Some dozen of the Red Guards were the actual perpetrators, and afterwards boasted of the deed, though on of them named Yak- imoff appears to have acted against his wishes and testified later that at times he was obliged to leave the shambles for a breath of fresh air. Col. Emerson's account does not speak of any trial, such as previous histori- ans have reported, even to going to the length in some cases of giving the questions put to the Czar and the answers. The formality was all contained in the chief executioner reading some supposed order to the unhappy Nicholas. The members of the family, including the heir, who with his sisters, had by this time re- joined the father and mother, were awakened between midnight and one o'clock, and. told to -dress and go down stairs. They huddled on their clothes and descended. They were then in- formed that the approach of the Czechs made it necessary that they should be killed. If they protested or pleaded for their lives the chronicle is silent on this point, and we prefer to think that the Czar had at least a royal way of dying with him. In so far as the executioners were concerned, the way they had was the way a man and his terriers would kill a lot of rats. Rifles were levelled and a volley fired. The first to fall instantly killed, were the Czar and his son. The others were wounded. They had to be finished off, accord- ing to Yakimoir, with further ballets, with batterings by muskets and stabbing with bayonets. One of the attendants, called the Fraulein, ap- pears to have given trouble. She tried to protect herself with a pillow and before she was put out of her misery some thirty odd wounds were in- flicted on her body. The Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikglaievna at first appeared to be dead, but was only in a faint and shrieked when the murderers began to examine her for plunder. Bayonets and butts soon put an end to her outcries. The bodies were rifled, and it was then that a great trove of jewels was dis- covered. Whether it was turned over to the headquarters 1of the Bol- shevists or whether it was divided among the executioners is not stated for the reason that it doesn't need to be.

The daughters were murdered as well as the few Court ladies who had re- mained with the family; and the ser- vants. The bodies were then piled on motor trucks and taken away. Coming to a disused' mine shaft it appears that the guards descended with what remained of Russian roy- alty and having started a fire with oil, poured acid on the bodies and consumed every trace - of the Roman - offs. Peasants rummaging in the heap ofhes a few days later dis- covered derlooked gems. Splinters of bombs and hand grenades were also found, and articles that were identified as belonging to one or an- other of the little band, that fell. Thus the pious, simple-minded Rus- sians made an end of the Little- Father and the women and children who had clung to him. Thus they justified the angry ridicule of the Germans who in the early days of the war used to sneer at the Allies' tributes to their great comrades or the Eastern front. CONSTIPATION By the term CONSTIPATION is meant either infrequent, difficult or in. sufficient evacuation of the contents of the Lower Bowel. The Symptoms are Headache, Dizziness, Mental Sluggishness, Lack of Concentration, Lassitude or ar feeling of General indisPosition, Bad Breath, Coated Tongue, Loss of Appetite, Sallow Skin which may become dry and rough and Pimples may appear. • Sometimes there is Heart Paipitatioa, Hysterical Spells and Nervous Exhaustion.
