RUSSIA MAKING WAR ON HER RICH PEASANTS As for most other things, even in Soviet Russia, there is a reason for the recent revival of activity against the churches and religion. It is an economic rather than an atheistic one. The Soviets are engaged in a great drive against the kulaks. The church- es and the priests are supposed to be the 'allies of the kulaks. It is, there- fore, sound strategy to apply pressure against the churches. It also seems probable that there has been •a good deal of exaggeration concerning the Harsh treatment meted out to religion under the Soviets. The fundamental hostility of the bolsheviks toward re - lions has never been denied or con- cealed. Lenin said frankly, "religion is the opium of the people," a re- mark that has been made in other words thousands of times and hun- dreds of years before Lenin was born. But the ;bolshevik leaders, while they are fanatics, are also realists. They are faced with actual problems and have to deal with human nature as they find it. In Russia they have found that religion is an ancient hab- it with the majority of the people, and while they are trying to educate them away from it, they know that this cannot be done swiftly. It must be a process of time. So churches re- main open in Russia and the people may worship if they choose. If ev- er the rulers of the country attain their ideal there will be no supernat- ural religion, no churches and no priests. But the present situation in Russia is better illuminated by another re- mark of Lenin's. He said: "The last and decisive battle is not with inter - nation capitalism—there we shall have many "last and decisive battles' —no, it is with Russian capitalism, the capitalism which grows out of small scale peasant farming and is supported by it." Toward that bat- tle the Soviets are now moving. Why any outsider should have any par- ticular sympathy for the Russian kulah we do net quite understand. He was the first beneficiary of the revo- lution and has been the last to pay a price for it. There is something gravely ironic in the plight of the kulak, or rich peasant. Before the revolution he was probably a poor peasant. He rented or owned a small farm, and his overlord probably took a sufficient rake-off to keep the peas- ant humping from one year's end to the other. But when he heard of the revolution it meant just one thing to him, and that a kind of paradise. He understood nothing of Marxism or )They Are The Best I Have Ever Taken SAYS ONTARIO LADY OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS '1 11, t1i oeiai ' e n'o'n►ia I tb oltea wit i; nth(,cholla, !�x'ebsk� 04x , the $hers w e trying to fire the Raesian works' in_ 'an, He merely thought that he. was about to be presented with a lie- ense to grab a piece of land frac the ,neighboring magnate and add it to, his ;own.'acres. Naturally he was most enthusiastic for the change. So when the great landowners With the rest of the aristocracy fled the, country and were dispossessed at their estates the kulak appropriated his share of the coveted land together with live stock, implements, and what- ever else was available. He was, in fact, nothing but an agricultural loot- er. The Soviet leaders were better pleased that the kula'ks should have the land than that it should remain in the possession of the accursed aris- tocrats, and since they needed the. support of the Russian farmers they acquiesced in this w'holes'ale robbery. But they never had the idea that the kulak would be left permanently in possession. They intended that when the tiine came he too should' be di rested in the steep and thorny path of civic duty, and made to realize that his land and bhe rest of his wealth were held in trust for the good of the community. With grow- ing apprehension they saw kulaks all over Russia growing into a propertied class, 'and exploiting their less pros- perous and presumably more virtuous neighbors. They rented then. surp- lus land. They rented them machin- ery. They took a rrake'aff. They were in fact carpitalists in the most odious sense of the word. Various other more pressing prob- lems kept the Soviet leaders' from grappling with the kulak menace un- til 1928. Then a step was taken by depriving these rich peasants of the franchise. But money is powerful in Russia as elsewhere, and the Soviets found that they could not make a rich man a nullity simply by refusing him the franchise. They might have been aware that in other countries it often ;happens that the richest and most influential men rarely trouble, to cast a ballot. It is not by the indi- vidual ballot. which may be nullified by his chauffeur or his butler, that the rich man exerts his influence. In fact, it was found that voteless though the kulaks were they continued Lo exert influence wherever they liv ed. They bribed Soviet officials. They terrorized them. They built up as- sociations with the church. In fact they acted much as reprehensible rich men might have acted in other countries. They constituted not only a problem but a menace to the whole Soviet experiment. Then in 1929 the Soviets introduc- ed the five-year plan. This calls for the industrialization of agriculture to increase production and improve mar- keting. •Sreall-scale farms are to be pooled in large-scale collective farms,. which are under contract to turn over their surplus to the government at a fixed price. At the present time less than two per cent. of the land under cultivation is being worked on the col- lectivist principle, .but this percervtage will be increased gradually until Rus- sian farms are operated like Russian factories. Private ownership is to be exterminated, and the kulaks will be taught the beauties of working and planning and denying themselves for the public good instead of their per- sonal ends. The present plan is to tax the kulak out of his possessions rod turn them over to the collective farms .w'hich the kulak will be pre- vented from joining. There will, in fact, be two choices for the kulak who persists. He will be exiled or starved to death, if he is not shot. This is the class war that is now rag- ing in a hundred thousand Russian villages and communities. On its is- sue depends the whole future of the bolshevik adventure. DISEASE OF PARROTS FATAL TO OWNERS Although no cases of psittacosis have developed locally, it is advisable that some information about the par- rot disease should be disseminated in vie of the fact that the germs may spread to readers of this column. It is a very peculiar malady but the present is •by no means the first out- break nor the first to result in loss of life to human beings, Lt is believed that the disease is spread by a germ or parasite that is' always with the parrot and never ;becomes balefully active as long as t!he bird is in good health. Most )healthy pe'ofple are carrying germs about with them and are unaware' of the fact until their resastence becomes lowered and the organism gets a chance to strike ef- fectively. So with the parrot, the nracroorganism is perhaps not more unnatural than flees on a dog. In its native habitat the parrot is rarely ill with the disease which lately has given it so much unfavorable nptor- iety. It lives in an environment to which through thousands of genera- tions it has become adapted and con- sequently reaches a ripe old age. This environment is generally free from cold, but the parrot that is brought north has frequently to face colds and draughts even when it is never outside of a house. Mrs. A.

STEWART Selling The Gibb Stock AT THE TOGGERY SHOP The contagion is generally spread by the bird's beak. At all times, but particularly when it feels out of sorts, it will preen its feather trying prob- ably to remove the cause of irritation. Many people are rather proud of the fact that their pan -ate are so tame that they will take food from their lips. When an infected beak is insert- ed into the mouth of a human being it requires no expert medical man to foresee what will follow. This prac- tice is always to be deprecated no matter how tame the parrot is. There Are records of death brought about by 'the bite of a presumably healthy par- rot, and of course, a bite from a sick bird directly introduces virus into the blood stream.. Scarcely less danger - •ours is the well meaning attempt of the owner of a sick bird to wrap it in his own clothing or hold it close to the body to get it warm. When the parrot is infected the virus is thus this. It simply wastes away and dies of inanition. The human being who contracts the disease manifests seri• oun syhniptoms almost ;at once. Severe headaches, influenza and nosebleed are typical. There is a loss of arp- 1 qJ L..dn uSr. f ot,fidaw..•tl T., I ..,I,., i. petite which may turn into a posi- tive dislike of food. When death supervenes it is usually through pneu- monia. In other words, the psitta- cosis has so weakened the system that the pneumonia germs, always lurking about, find an enfeebled victim and usually make short work of him. The seriousness of the disease may be inferred from the fact that among matured or elderly people severe at- tacks will end fatally in 40 per cent. of the cases. Young people rarely succumb since they have the vigor to throw off the infection. The disease is highly infectious and has been known to run through entire house- holds only one of whose members has been actually in contact with the bird.

Outbreaks of psittacosis in the past • hive been traced not to individually infected birds, but to whole shipments. 1 In 1892, for instance, there was a serious epidemic in Paris. This was spread by the 200 survivors of a ship- ment of 500 parrots from South America. The birds had suffered rough treatment aboard ship and more than half of them died. The others were all more or less ailing on their arrival and were sold at bargain pric- es after having been treated with lit- tle intelligence by the merchants who had imparted them. Several deaths were recorded amlong the owners of the. birds, In 1917 there was an out- break 'at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where a special sale of South American par- rots had been widely advertised. These a what were left of bindle, too,.were much Jaeger shipment Which had died of disease or neglect in the course of the voyage. When the other parrots arrived in Wilkes-Barre, some of them were placed in the store windows to attract customers. Others were stor- ed in the basement. In neither case were the surroundings favorable, and nearly all the birds dilaposed of were more or less diseased, This sale be- caniel known as "Frozen ?axrot" bar Irs t �{i I tT,a„tn ti P A I. n Jrr gain day and was responsible for sev- that shipping companies that handled eral deaths. consignments of parrots should have 1 It was strongly urged at that time some one in charge of them who knew' • something of the habits and needs of the birds and that they should be provided with proper quarters, It has 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ibeen proposed that there should he a O 0 IF YOUR EARS RING 0 WITH HEAD NOISES O O periocl of two weeks' quarantine, for O', the disease will develop in from seven to 12 days.

It should be remembered that the bird comes from the tropics and that as long as it is in a cage it cannot pick up the food it was used to in a wild state. To cover the cage with a cloth at night will protect the parrot against falling temperature, and it should not be kept where it is likely to be in a draught. Indeei draughts an damp- ness am -ness are injurious to almost all birds from canaries to turkeys, with the exception of ducks. Overfeeding is another common error, and as a rule the greater the pet a bird i's, the more likely it is to be injudiciously fed. The first srymptoms of psittacosis acre not to be confused' with the natural lassitude sand despondency of the 'bird that has to say "Uncle” more than a hundred times a day. Y1 r {' a ay„bm pi" ii Try Magnesia For Indigestion 1, People who suffer from indigestion usually have tried pepsin, charcoal, drugs and various digestive ands and got little mere than slight tempor- ary relief—sometimes not even that. But before giving up to chrothis dyspepsia, just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia—.not the ordinary commercial carbonate, cit- rate or milk, but pure Bisurated Mrag- nesia which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either ,,powder or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder � or four tablets �6vrthr a little water af- ter fter your next meal, and see whet a difference this makers. It will ins- tantly neutralize the dangerous, harm- ful acid in the stomach, which now causes your food to ferment, aril sour, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or 1►'ea r, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everyrthding yrbii eat.
