MOSCOW, November 17.—There are 7,000,000 on the Russian government’s civil pay roll, says a report just made by Yourey Larin, the former soclal revolutionist leader and chalrman of a committee selected by the central government to reduce the number of institutions supported by the govern- ment and to eliminate unnecessiry bureaus. . Karl Radek, bolshevist leader, stated in a recent article that the strength of the sovlet army is 5,000,000 men. The size of the navy is not known. Granting that the figures of Radek and Larin are correct the bolshevist government has at least 12,000,000 persons on its clvil and military pay Tolls, or one person out of every ten in what constitutes soviet Russia. In the clvil list 2,970,000 persons are engaged In Industrles, according to Larin's statement, and 1,500,000 are In transport service. The employes in government offices and institutions number 2,100,000. Timber work and farm work under government control employ 400,000. To Make Sweeping Réductions. Larin says the most sweeping re- ductions will be made In the depart- ment of educatlon, which is headed by Lunacharsky, and has 1,200,000 em- ployes. At least ome-third of these will be discharged. Teachers in the ordinary schools will .be unaffected, but Larin says his commission intends |’ to lop off all sorts of museums, dramatic academies, dancing studi and various side institutions which, he declares, are sapping the life from the educational system and squander- ing money which should be devote to strengthening free schools and pay ing better salaries to teachers of ordinary subjects. By reducing the number of em: ployes on public pay rolls, Larin say: it will be the purpose of his commi: slon to afford more food for the work- ers In essential industries which have starved to support superfluous and faddish institutions. 7 - \ DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED FOR EVADING GRAIN TAX}/ Radical Steps Are Being Taken to |7 Check Banditry in Scuth Russia. ROSTOFF-ON-DON, Russia, Novem- | ber 3.~—The death penalty is being inflicted in the Kuban and Don dis- |’ tricts upon peasanis who attempt to ! evade, the grain tax which the gov- |’ has instituted instead money taxes. At Krasnodarsk a peas- |’ ant and two officials whom he bribed | to assist him in dodging the grain levy were all shot, and radical steps are being taken throughout south | Russia to check the banditry which |’ the Moscow government denounces as | */ nothing more than an effort to escape taxation. F Gen. Budenny, the cavalry leader |’ who figured so prominently in the fighting against Gen. Wrangel and |’ the Poles, has been made a member of the cemtral council in the Caucasus which is voring to check move- ments ag Moscow government wuthority. recent report he an- nounced that the best results are ob- tained by taking hostages fin the various vi and forcing the vil- |’ lagers the it lead. and surrender them.

We abuse Nature, thwart her mar-}’ ivelmrs efforts, by eating too much, | sleeping too little, and by many other indiscretions such as wearing “bad shoes” which have a direct bearing on health. Some women can wear incorrect shoes and never suffer much, but most women would feel better and get less tired if their feet were properly cared for and properly shod. Every one says so who has lgiven thought to this subject. _ Cantilever Shoes have done a ! great deal of good for a great many {women. To some they have given ia better disposition; to some new |7 ! enjoyment in walking out-of-doors;i{ ito others an entirely new defree of happiness. For when the foot is . unrestrained, as it is in flexible-arch, ! i comfortable, natural shaped Canti- !levers, the nerves and circulation are perfectly normal; and you are % pleased to agree with those many doctors and foot experts who say that good shoes—and particularly;? | good-looking Cantilever Shoes—do help Nature-to make you well and happy.
