THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAT SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 12, 1908. SAMUEIi JAMES ELDER. A IOSSIB LK ATTOKXEV GENERAL IX MH TAFT'S CABINET. RACTICAL We offer here a number of articles, any one of which would please any lady as an Xmas present, and all of which combine usefulness with the purpose of gift giving J i f i- i I iggr Boston, Mass., Dec. 12. Friends of Samuel J. Klder. the well known Boston attorney, are actively wire pulling these days in Mr. Elder's be half. The friends represent a strong political factor in the east. Mr. Elder himself is a personal friend of President-Elect Taft and is well known through his legal ability. He was graduated from Yale in 1S73, a year before Mr. Taft entered. Two years late r he was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts and engaged in law practice in Boston, where he has been tor the last 33 years. During this time he has never aspired to public office, but has been a staunch Republican and has been active In state and national politics. Should Mr. Elder be selected as attorney general over Frank Kellogg it would greatly please the east, which is very desirous of securing an east ern man to succeed Bonaparte. MR. BARNS RESIGNS. Steward of Klk.s Club Gives l'lacc. Up His Tom L. Barns for the past six years steward of the Topeka lodge of Elks tendered his resignation to the exe cutive board today to become effec tive immediately. Mr. Barns resigns on account of ill health and a threat ened attack of nervous prostration in duced by the extra work incident to moving into the new Elks building, which has jui-t been completed. He will remain in the city for a while and may then visit with friends and rela tives in eastern states for a number of months before again engaging in business of any kind. To Air. Barns is due much of the credit for the elegance of the new Elk lodge rooms and in completing his task he has worked incessantly and as a result his health has been impaired. A. F. Colson of Concordia has been selected by the executive board as the successor of Mr. Barns and assumed control today. Mr. Colson who succeeds Mr. Barns Is a well known caterer with a repu tation for excellence of cuisine ex tending over the entire middle west. He is by no means a stranger to To pekans, as he was proprietor of the Fifth avenue hotel from 1882 until 1884 when he sold his holdings to Hankla Bros., the present proprietors and since that time nan been a fre quent visitor to the state capital. After leaving Topeka Mr. Colson moved to Concordia where for seven teen years he conducted a cafe which was the pride of that section of the state. The fame of Colson's cafe spread beyond the borders of Kan sas and traveling men made Concor dia their headquarters and Sunday stopping point on account of the ex cellence of the catering at Colson's cafe.

HEALTH IS TOO GOOD. Absence of Sickness Eorces Chicago Drug Stores to Close. Chicago, Dec. 12. Chicago is amazingly healthy. At least that is what druggists say. Drug stores in many parts of the city are closing their doors on account of "decreased trade. Seven have sus pended business on the South side since Monday and a number on the West and North sides have closed in the last ten days. The state of the public health has contributed largely to the present con dition of the drug trade, but the tem porary cessation of the ice cream soda, which is a big item to druggists, has .played its share in the reduction of receipts. Some drug stores, it is declared, have installed a chop suey and chili concarne lunch to take the place of iced beverages. Gas Stoves an ex of var suit you. price.

Since the promulgation of the constitution granting liberty to the press in Turkey, the demand for news printing paper has increased to a great extent, not only for the publication of more news papers but for the increased circula tion of the old newspapers. Deputy Consul General William Smlth-Lyte reports" from Constantinople that an American Bible house in that city after purchasing newspaper and other qualities of paper for many years In Europe, has found that it can get what it needs from the United Statij cheaper. Portland, Oregon. Every night at 7:35 a Pullman tour ist sleeping car leaves Topeka via the Union Pacifls R. R. which goes through to Portland, Oregon, without change.

6 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EV ENINQ, DECEMBER. 12, 1908. FOR CITY AND SUBURBAN USE The Waverley Electric 'Hi is Car S 1,250. The car ahnvp shown is our nhlo rninip ton "Prion with Removable coupe leather top, $1,700; with both tops', $2,000; without top, $1,600. A distinctive feature of the Waverley electrics which ap peals so strongly to those who have had experience with chain-driven automobiles is the fact that the Waverley has none of the clatter, grease, extra friction and wear incident to chain drive. The motor of the Waverley is a part of the rear axle equipment, and instead of chains running from the motor swung on the body of the car back to sprockets, as in other electrics, it has simply the wire leading from the battery back to the motor. This makes an ideal con struction, eliminating the chain nuisance, with its grease spattering all over the car. No other electric is entirely free from grease like the Waverley. IT'S A PLEASURE With a Waverley Electric Nothing to do but turn on the current and steer. No cranking. No adjusting. No grease. No dirt. No overheating. No car buretor. No spark plugs. No ignition troubles. In short, the electric has none of the compli cations, none of the worries and uncertainties of the gas car. lives longer, is safer, more depend able, and for anything but long distance touring, gives more ser vice and better service at less expense. Another thing the Waverley has no season. Day in and day out, winter or summer, it is at your command. makes for the complete enjoyment of life. It goes farther every day than most people care to go and gives more economical mileage than any other electric vehicle. It is the one car that ii I n ii i The car above shown is our stylisht Victoria Phaeton. Price, with top. $1,600; with canopy top, $1,560; without top, $1,523. Our cat log shows a complete line write for It. We can show you and prove it that the Waverley elec trics are superior to any other electric vehicles selling from three to five hundred dollars more money. Their simplicity of construction accounts for this, not that the material or workmanship is cheaper. So much for the electric car; now look at the electric from the utility standpoint. Every doctor will tell you that there is nothing so healthful, invigorating and life-giving as fresh air. It will make the old feel young, the sick strong, the nervous, tired and languid buoyant, the children merry, fresh and gleeful. All of this can be had for the price of an electric. Fresh air substituted for medicine, and ozone for doctors' visits. Hundreds of sick people could take on new life if they would but avail themselves of God's pure air while rolling about the city in one of the noiseless, vibrationless, nerve soothing Waverleys. You can never appreciate or fully enjoy all the comforts and pleasures of this life until you have owned a Waverly electric. The price of an electric in the bank may seem good to you in case of sickness, but how much better would it be breathing the fresh air and viewing nature's beauties each day. taking on new life, to a bed of illness and pain, which a bank account cannot cure. Now is the time to get one as in winter an hour or two in the fresh air is Just what nervous sleepless, peevish people need and those who are well, in good health. Why hesitate if you have the price' Real pleasures and comforts come from what money buys not from the money itself. Cold weather cuts no ice with an electric. With an enclosed coupe you can be as comfortable riding about the citv the stormiest, coldest day as if indoors. Electric lighted and heated if you wish. Ask for catalogs or call up Ind. Phone 4 94 for further information. PADGETT TIRE HOUSE 118 East Seventh Street, TopcKa, Kansas. OF PRIMARY. (Continued from Page One.) Gives more service and better service at less expense, with more dependability, more safe ty, and more convenience than any other motor vehicle. Its first cost and maintenance cost are low. It is equally-willing and able to travel in all .seasons, winter or summer, rain or shine. It needs no export, driver. It does not soil apparel. It has no vexatious troubles. It runs winter or summer, rain or shine. Simply turn on the current and steer. In all probability, the simple Klectric is the car that best meets your actual needs, tylish Victoria Phaeton, with remov- top. $l.90; with $100 or jus-' twice as much as Riley county. Among other of the smaller counties may be found Logan with a population of 3.700 and a charge for ballots of $560 and Hodgeman, with population of 2.900. with a charge of $492 and as compared with the charge made by Riley county. I find that Hodgeman county, with less than one-fifth the population charges nearly ten times as much for ballots as does Riley county. "So one might keep on making com parisons indefinitely. The replies to the other questions, and there were lo in all. disclose the same wide differences and need not be gone into further at this time. But as formerly stated I have purposely selected the extremes in the replies to some of these questions in order to show the great need of leg islation that will insure a more uni form charge throughout the state' in all matters concerning the primary election law. "With the foregoing figures I submit herewith a tabulated statement show lng, so far as returns have been made by counties, the total cast of the pri mary law. the total vote cast at the primary. August 4, 1908; the total pop ulation March 1, 1908. From this table those who are so minded may figure all sorts of combinations but It is not my intention to go into these matters and I disclaim any credit or responsibility for any figures that may be made other than those given above and in the ta ble below.

In looking carefully over the figures in this table it is easy to see the need of such a report as this compiled by Secretary Denton for the inspection of the state legislature and the public and it is expected that legislature will include in its revision of the primary law a section providing for some fixed scale of prices to govern the cost of printing the ballots and poll supplies and conducting the election. The dis crepancies in the cost of the election in the different counties aret outrag eous or ridiculous, depending on the point of view. These figures tell many stories that weigh heavily in the bal ance against the primary law. Taken as a general principle the primary law should be a good thing for politics and the public, for by its provisions all nominations are made by the direct vote of the people instead of by the machinations of the delegates- at a convention, but a study of these fig ures show things to make even a square dealer gasp in amazement for reply, and figures, they say, don't lie. Take first the proposition of the cost to the taxpayers, this being always of deepest interest to the people. Allen county paid $1,349 for her primary election and. cast 2.2S0 votes. while Atchison county paid only $923 and cast 2,711 votes, and is a richer coun ty than Allen in the bargain. as shown by the assessed valuation re turns of the state tax commission. Cherokee county paid $2,540 and cast 3.981 votes, while Cowley county paid only $1,550 and cast 3.809 vote?. Grant paid nearly $4 for every vote cast. Her primary cost $44 4 "and she cast 135 votes, while Haskell county with 200 votes paid only $258, or a dollar a vote; and then again Sedgwick county paid $1,638 and cast 5,282 votes, or 30c per vote. Grant county,' -with a valuation of a million and three-quar ters paid -twelve times as much per vote as did Sedgwick county with a valuation of 72 millions of dollars. Take jjogan and Lyon counties. Lo gan paid $1,007 for 511 votes and Lyon paid only $1,346 for 2,747 votes. and Lyon is five times as rich a county as is Logan. Pratt paid $1,400 and cast 430 votes, while Rawlings paid $700 and cast 790 votes. In other words Pratt paid twice as much as Rawlings and cast half as many votes. Sheridan county paid $691 and cast 6S6 votes; Sherman county paid $200 more and cast 200 less votes. Shawnee cast a heavier vote in the primary than any other county in the state and the expense of her primary was $2,228 yet Marshall county, with one-third as many votes, paid over $2,4)00. Rooks county, pajd $1,198 for 960 votes and Washington county paid $1. 121 and cast over twice as many votes. And so one could go through the en tire 105 counties and find these wide dif ferences in cost as compared to popula tion. Either many of these counties paid too much for -their primary or many of them paid less than living wages and prices. "It is unlikely that any printer printed ballots and poll books at a loss, and taking this for granted, the. people of the state paid jou.uoo too much for their primary, cer tain it is that the primary cost more tnan the general election that follow ed it and at which over twice as many votes were cast. The price per vote at the primary ranged all the way from 30 cents in Sedgwick to $4 in Grant. In 20 counties the price was a dollar a vote, in a dozen others it was 50 cents and in ten oth ers it was $2. It will be mighty hard work to strike an average or set a scale of prices, but that this ought to be done no one will question. And now take the story of the pri mary as told by the vote cast by coun ties. Twenty-seven counties cast a to tal vote of 11.500, which is offset by the vote of Shawnee and Montgomery coun ties alone. Yet six of these smaller counties would have been entitled to the same representation as both the larger ones mentioned in a state con vention, so 21 counties are lost in this primary shuffle and had no voice at all In naming a state ticket in comparison with the convention method. It may be that this comparison is not fair, but it is true, nevertheless. The cost of the primary can be made uniform and doubtless greatly reduced as a whole for the state, but there is no remedy for the preponderance of strength in favor of the more "populous counties. Counties A itli Power. The following 25 counties out of the 105 in the state could have held the bal ance of power at the last primary had they voted together: Cherokee, Cowley, Crawford, Dickinson. Douglas. Frank lin. Labette. Leavenworth. Montgomery Reno, Sedgwick, Shawnee, Wyandotte, Atchison, Butler. Allen. Lyon. Osage, Pottawatomie. Sumner, McPherson Marshall, Miami, Bourbon and Green wood. As shown by the vote cast at the pri mary last August, and should deeply in terest the people of Cheyenne, Clark Grant. Greeley, Morton. Stanton, Stev ens, Wichita, Scott, comancne. Gray Haskell. Hodgman. Kearney, Kiowa Lane, Logan. Sherman. Pratt, Rush and Trego counties, 21 in all. tor tneir com bined vote at the primary was not as much as that cast by Shawnee county. Think of it. one county with tne strength of 21 in the selection or a state ticket. Three of the above named coun ties have as many representatives in the legislature as has Shawnee county. &tin the counties have not the population excent as indicated by the primary and in the end the majority of the voters of the state select the candidates ror tne state .-ticket and the majority's senti ments are not always expressed at state conventions. The primary has its weak ana strong points, and so has tne convention sys tern. The former it wouia seem, euim nates the individuality of most of the counties of the state for the good of the state as a whole, that is if one takes the will of the majority of the voters as the best thing for the state. Yet the dominant party might suffer in the end if the weaker counties are not considered. The last primary was hardly a cri terion in the selection of a state ticket as all tne secona-Lerniei weio icnuni inated. The result two years hence will afford a better basis for an illustration of its workings as regards the weak and strong counties and the eastern and western sections. One thing is sure, the people want to know everything possiDie amiui me workings and expense of the first pri mary election ever held in the state, and they should especially wish to reg ulate its expense, which was a strong argument against it. and in this light the report Deing prepareu uy OTtitiaij f state Denton is invaluable.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 12, 1S08. CITY HAU NEWS. Council Faces a Future Shortage of Funds. Conservative Ones Planning to Curtail Expenses. UNUSUAL EXPENSES. Flood Situation Has Caused Big Expenditure. Likewise Other Matters De manding City's Action.. Some people have been wondering why the city council does not make more appropriations and why the re cent items of expense to the city, like the police motorcycle for instance, have met with so much resistance and opposition among the ccuncilmen. At the last council meeting Council man Horn made a long talk againsl the police motorcycle, saying that it too expensive a luxury to the city at this time and could not be maintained under the present finacial affairs. This talk of Mr. Horn's was exactly the sentiment formerly expressed by every member of the council but since the street "scorching" has become so com mon by the city motorists. Mayor Green, Councilman Howard and Coun cilman Jordan have all supported the pop-pop wagon idea with enthusiasm. .As Mayor Green said yesterday: "Such expenses to the city are insignificant when the danger of human life is taken into consideration." Bui as to the remainder of the ap propria'ions and "donations" by the city, there seems to be a grave doubt. Topeka at this Lime is under and on the eve of the vast flow from the city treasury. The flood situation is being remedied by the city at an enormous cost. The new electric light plant will soon begin to draw upon ihe municipal funds. The milts and miles of pavement are a constant drain and the regular city expenses which come during rain -or shine are a worry to the keepers of the coffers. However, in the last few weeks there have been numerous expenses uncalled for and unexpected. The East side pavement is presenting new problems right along. The new course of the spillway has- approached the city unawares. The largest expense in this district is the unfortunate mistake made by the appraisers of the paving j district on the East side. In looking over this land and taxing It the ap praisers made their report to the city, the deal was closed and the pavement commenced. But the treacherous Shunganunga came upon the scene and three lots upon which the ap praisers had placed normal taxes were washed down the creek and spread along the banks. In other words it spread over $4 00 of the city's money along the weedy bank and the treasury will have to reimburse the owners of the lots to the above amount. This is a clear loss to the city and must come from the treasurer as such. The new fire station which has been proposed and practically demanded from the East side is also staring the city in the face. It will cost $5,000 to erect this station and equip it for the first day. Then comes the great maintenance expense which is the main outlay of the project. The fire departments over the city are the most valuable necessities from both points of view but the city is proud of their work and their records. While the mayor and council were figuring on this new state of affairs the pavement proposition in Xorth To peka came up and demanded immedi- ate attention. It will be necessarv for the city to take up one block of pave ment south of the Central avenue bridge and relay it in the spring. Mayor (Jreen estimates that this will cost one or two thousand dollars. With all of these necessary mu nicipal improvements before the coun cil and the city treasury rather desti tute of funds the city council can not be blamed for their alleged "lightness" and inability to meet the demands of the city as a whole. agency, made a plea for correction. .h-ven though agency and associa tion are synonomous, it seems that in the case of employment business there is a vast difference. Mr. Kearney de sires to inrorm that he has not sold his permit and that the famous "Bob" Pigg is the ex- owner of the association. City Engineer Rogers is preparing the paving plans for the coming paving sea son and they will be submitted as soon as possible. It is planned to have all of the paving contracts for the coming spring closed before the end of Janu ary. Then the work can be commenc ed as soon as the thaws arrive and the dirtiest work will be finished when the hot summer days make their appear ance. The Hall of Fame gallery in the city hall Is vacated. Not a photograph of any kind has been placed there for many moons. The last famous person to occupy this allotted space was the serene countenance of City Attorney Drenning but before any further trou ble he removed the photograph. It has been suggested that the streets and walks committee get together and have their group taken for the position. The criminilogical laboratory is de manding attention again and a further communication from Arthur McDonald, the honorary president of the Third In ternational Congress of Criminal An thropology of Europe, has been sent to the State Journal stating that contrary i to the. ideas of the city council, the laboratory could be established in thi city under a directorship costing but $1,000 a year. Mr. McDonald is very anxious to see such an institution es tablished in the city of Topeka and he has taken the matter up again with Mayor Green. Mayor Green is still doubtful about the city being able to stand such a proposition Dr. Emil C. Wilm, of Washburn col lege, who is at the head of the psycholo gical department of that college, is strongly in favor of the idea. In .speak ing to his classes at the college the other day he pointed out the great ad vancement in criminilogical study in the last few years all through the study of man himself. He condemned the use of the city prisons in attempting to scare a man out of crime by heavy fines and Imprisonment. There are many people who have ex pressed themselves in favor of the new system but considering the great ex-i pense the city is now under it seems useless to attempt .such a mammoth scheme. The city council itself is In favor of the new method but it is look ed upon with disfavor by the city treasurer and he is the man who sub stantiates the preliminary acts of the ways and means committee. Building permits for the past few days make the following showing: A. A. Godard. addition to dwelling at 1601 Boswell. $1,500; T. B. Gatchell addition ii dwelling at 805 Fillmore, $900: Gus Sehenewerk. dwelling at 409 West Third, $2,300; L. J. Beal. addition to dwelling at 1101 Taylor. $1,900; M. S. McLaughlin, two story frame dwelling at 30 Grove avenue. $3,000; C. H. Asling, frame dwelling at 1317 West. $2,000. There are about $2,000 worth of barns going up around the city. Carrie Nye is to build a $3,500 two story frame house at 1131 Western ave nue. Bennett Garrison are to build a $2,000 residence, two stories high, at 1634 Topeka avenue. E. Kempton is to build a $3,000 two-story residence at 701 703 Madison street, to face on Seventh street. "No More Gray Hair" Says Dr. Nott! "Can it really be true?" Gray-haired people are asking one another since the announcement that the famous Dr. Nott has discovered a hair restorer that will bring back to gray locks the color of youth! Many a man yet in his prime is af flicted with premature grayness, and in a sense it is a serious affliction." There is no need to look old before your day! A man who used Dr. Nott's Hair .Re storer with perfect results was asked why he cared whether his hair was gray or not. He answered. "How would you like for people to call you 'a nice old man' when you felt as young as your youngest daughter? It's a boon to men like me!" Seriously, this discovery is of world-wide importance, especially since It is just as effective in cases of hereditary grayness as in any other. Marshall Bros., Topeka, and B. Whel- don Drug Co.. Emporia. Kan., have a limited supply of this remarkable pre paration and recommend it emphatically-. Marshall Bros. Topeka, and a. vv nei- don Drue Co., Emporia, Kan., guaran tee to refund the money to any gray haired person, male or female, irrespec tive of color, age. nationality or creed, if after using six bottles they still have gray hair.

CHINA CLOSETS From $15 to $40 Since the council meeting Monday Tiight it has been made plain thai there are two employment agencies in the city which differ slightly in name and between which the greatest rivalry exists.

When the nerves are irritated by coffee drinking the mind often Imagines things which have no real existence such as approaching dan ger, unfriendly criticism, etc. A Mich, woman suffered in this way but found how to overcome it. She writes: "For twenty years. I drank coffee thinking it would give me strength when tired and nervous. "The more coffee I drank, the more tired and nervous I became until I broke down entirely. Then I changed my work from sow ing to house-work. This gave me more exercise and was beneficial, but 1 kept on drinking coffee though I could not do without it. "I was so nervous at times that if left alone I would not go from one room to another for fear someone would grab me, and my little children had to go around on tiptoe and epeak in whispers. "Finally an attack of the grip weak ened me so my nerves rebelled and the smell even of coffee was nauseating. Then my husband pre pared some Postum for me. believing the long use of coffee had caused my break down, so that my head and hands shook like the palsy. "At first I did not like Postum but I kept on drinking it and as we learned how to make it right accord- nig to directions on pkg., I liked it as well as coffee. "Occasionally I make coffee when we have guests and give it to the children too. but as soon as they taste it they return their cups for Postum.

After At a meeting of the streets and walka committee last night the street naming brush pile was again fired up and allowed to blaze until the last car left. But result." were far more sat isfactory than at any other meeting and it looks as though the only ques tion to settle Monday night will be the nameless street in the Martin Den nis adition which has been suggested as Lmpona avenue" but was hissed down by visitors and councilmen at the last session. The report of the street naming committee as given out at the last council meeting will prob ably be adopted with one alteration. Several of thp councilmen have made trips over the city since the committee made Its report and they have found tneir version to be the best. A name for the nameless street will be left to the citizens living there and if they do not suggest anything the council will find a name. For awhile last night it looked as though the seriousness of the meeting would be broken up by City Engineer Rogers, who has a repu tation of jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous. The committee was. grinding diligently over the presidents" of the United States and ouarrelllng over their order of office in hopes that a Grant street might be inserted after .Lincoln by some manner or means when the city engineer chimed in with the following question: "Gentlemen I can't figure out when Western avenue was president." and then the committee had to explain to the hopless engineer that only streets and not avenues were named after the presidents. The councilmen are es pecially anxious to have the street naming situation settled in hope that the new names will get into the city directory. According to Councilman Jordan there is one part of the city that has taken little and no interest. in the street naming problem and that is .-ortn loppKa. i ou can name our streets after the heroes of the Bottoms if you want to," said Mr. Jordan "and we will not make any kick. We are too busy fighting the floods and have no time to fool with foolish street names." The time has arrived when the ordi nary form of hand car which is in common use throughout the country, and with which practically every one is familiar, has reached the end of its usefulness. It is only a question of time until section gangs will be sup plied with some form of gasoline motor car. The Santa Fe railroad, with its usual foresight and thoughtf ulness, has just been making tests of the principal designs of motor cars for track use. These tests have been car ried on during yhe past three weeks under the direction of a committee composed of C. H. Gaunt, assistant general manager: W. L. Allison, mechanical engineer, and L. M. Gazin, chief electrician. These tests were the most complete of the kind ever under taken. Four makes of cars were tried, the Shoifield, the Buda, the Duntley, and the car constructed according to the design of H. W. Jacobs, assistant superintendent of motive power. These cars are radically different in construction, method of transmitting the power, weight and various details. Each car was given a road test by a run to Atchison and return. They were then given a pulling test with dynamometer between the motor car and loaded car behind. and were finally given hill climbing and general service ability tests. The hill climbing was made on the switch leading up from AVoIff's pack ing house to the Santa Fe yards, which has about as steep a grade and and as bad a curve as is to be found anywhere on the line. Each car was run witn trailer cars and carrying ever increasing loads until the maximum hauling capacity was reached. Each car was also stopped In the steepest part of the grade, and required to start with the maximum possible load. Although the findings of the com mittee are not yet known, it is safe to predict that a car of some design will be adopted as standard on the Santa Fo. and that section men will be sup plied with them at an early date. Pains In the Stomach Caused by (ias and l'oiil Odors Speedily Kemoved By Stuart's C'liar-oal Lozenges. Trial Package By Mail. Free. Pyrosis (Gastric pain), gastritis and many other stomach and bowel troubles caused by formation of gas. are almost Instantly removed by a generous use of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. These little lozenges kill bad breath and stop gas making by oxidizing the odors and gases. Charcoal absorbs one hundred times itself in gas. They turn foul fumes and gases into oxygen, which sweeten the system. They are made from pure willow and sweet honey and are a delightful aid to the mouth, stomach and bowels. The Japanese use charcoal for a tooth wash and an old Chinese proverb runs thus: "Sweet Is the breath of a Xiponese" (Japanese). The mouth fluids are alkaline, thus waste food held by tooth cavities is at tacked and decays rapidly, causing foul odors to arise. Charcoal renders the saliva sweet by oxidizing it and dots away- with foul fermentations and decay. Every- druggist carries Stuart s Charcoal Lozenges and many- thou sands of sufferers from gas, foul breath, etc.. use these little lozenges. thus proving their popularity and their merit. Charcoal is one of the best all-around cleansers the system may partake of and too much of it cannot be taken.

Twenty -one Blocks Recommended by Council Committee. Don't MissThis I HAVE a few dozen single suit patterns (no two alike) that were $25.00 and $28.00 a suit. In order to close them out will make up for the low price of $20.09 a Suit When you consider the trim mings, as well as workman ship we put in our garments, you will get the greatest bar gain in up-to-date tailoring you ever had. Come early before they are gone. Twenty-one blocks of new pavement were recommended by the streets and walks committee of the city council last night. This practically completes the 1909 paving and the committee will not accept any petitions after the first meeting in January. This means that those who are interested in new paving must circulate their petitions at once and turn them in to the committee for action. Almost $75,000 worth of pave ment was passed over by the commit tee last night and very little of this will be an expense to the city on account of the few street intersections. The fewer the street intersections the quick er the recommendations from the coun cil and Councilman Jordan announced last night that if paving petitions came in after the first of the year without an intersection clause the streets and walks committee and the city council would gladly give their approval of the work. As usual. Councilman Stanley was "stung" last night by his committee brothers. Mr. Stanley has been having a hard time ever since his membership on the committee. Last year when the paving was being considered Mr. btan ley was enthusiastic in all the actions of the council and gave an aye vote to all the petitions presented by his fel low councilmen. When all of their pe titions were in and his contributions of good will to others had stopped on ac count of no field in which to work, he commenced presenting his petitions which were unmercifully shattered be cause the paving limit had been reach ed. This year the dose has been re peated. AH through the meetings Mr. Stanley has worked hard for the other councilmen and when he presented his petition for Morris avenue, between Sixth and Tenth, last night the commit tee sighed and said it was too late.

James Brice, 76 years old. a frontiersman who carried the United States mails from Independence, Mo., to Santa Fe, N. M., 50 years ago, died at his home here last night. Brice was born in Ireland and entered the mail service in this country in 1S5S and traveled the Santa Fe trail for 10 years. J. N. Dolley, chairman of the Re publican state committee, and who i conceded the speakership of the next house without a struggle, is in th city today winding up the ends o the committee's campaign business. Mr. Dolley, in speaking of the guarantee deposit law, made the fol lowing interesting observations: "I am in favor of a guarantee de posit law and our party's state plat form declared for this measure, but as yet I have seen no bill proposed that covered this question m a thorough fair and business like manner. It is big proposition, this demand of the state that all the banks of the state stand liable for the 150 millions o dollars of deposits in the banks o Kansas and that these bankers pu up a million dollars of their own money as a cash guarantee to start out with. "If a bank fails or a banker makes a mistake the other bankers are liable If the state bank commissioner send a political friend down to take charge of the affairs of a failed bank and this gentleman spends three years winding up that bank's affairs the other bankers must pay the bills un der this law. "Who is to pass on the eligibility of banks seeking membership in the guarantee deposit group? Why, the bank commissioner, under the pro visions of all the proposed bills for guarantee of deposits. I think it only fair to the bankers taking part in the movement that a committee of three of the leading bankers of the state should be authorized to act with the commissioner in passing on the con dition of banks that apply for mem bership and in carrying out the gen eral provisions or the law. This com mittee of bankers could serve without pay. but the banks are surely entitled to have some of their own representa tives play some small part in passing on the risks they take and in handling the money they pay out for protection of deposits. "If the state should pass a law re quiring every man in the state to take life insurance, there would be some provision whereby the insurance com panies would have some hand in pass ing on the risks they are forced to take. "I have no doubt that a guarantee deposit Saw will be passed at the next session, but I believe that the mem bers will get together and frame as careful and conservative a law as is possible to draft. They will protect the depositors and at the same time be fair to the bankers who do the protecting and give them all the pro tection possible under the law. If a committee of three bankers are al lowed to co-operate with the bank commissioner in taking risks and winding up affairs of defunct banks then the bankers cannot protest over paying out their hard money for risks mat tneir own members have passed on. A double check on banks and their business is not. in mv ODinion. taking any unnecessary precaution in the matter." PLEAS OF NOT GUILTY. Entered In the Cases of Sharp and His Followers.

Popular Young Real Estate Man for First Time a Candidate for Office. MODE OF PUNISHMENT The friends of Fred S. Brown, owner and and manager of the Strauss real estate agency, will be pleased with the opportunity for boosting that popular young Topeka business man as Repub lican candidate for the office of city treasurer. Since leaving his birthplace In Force Belongs to the Dark ln hio at the age of 10 and settling I in Topeka, Mr. Brown has spent 22 Ages, She Says. very busy years in this city and is one Recommends Removal of Con victs to the Federal Prison. Guthrie, Okla., Dec. 12. Allega tions that modes of punishment be longing to the dark ages, such as the "crib." the "water hole," the "dung eon," and other obsolete methods of enforcing discipline are employed in the Kansas state penitentiary at Lan sing, and recommendations of imme diate action upon the convening of the legislature in memorializing congress to permit Oklahoma prisoners to be sent to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, and that the contract with the Kansas institution for the care of Oklahoma prisoners be can celed, are made in the first annual re port of Miss Kate Barnard, commis sioner of charities and corrections, submitted to Governor C. X. Haskell loaay. The report states that she believes that Warden Haskell is ignorant I A A i nil i i frii many of these cruelties alleged to be practiced by his guards, but criticises his system of judging the efficiency of a guard by the small number of pun ishments reported, claiming that this system encourages guards to inflict many punishments that they never re port to Warden Haskell. Her Authority Questioned. Miss Barnard expresses the belief that under a modern prison system Warden Haskell would make a srood record, and she especially commends the sanitary conditions, the cold stor age system inaugurated by him and the night school for the education of prisoners. Miss Barnard introduces her ex posure of alleged conditions in the Kansas penitentiary by stating that in August of the present year she visited the prison, paying the regular admis- f the best known and best liked of of the young- crowd of hustlers. After finishing in the public schools here he spent one year in Washburn, carry ing the Daily Capital as a means of helping to defray expenses while at the institution. Never since leaving school has he been without a position. For eight years Mr. Brown was in the auditor's office, freight department of the Santa Fe, and for two and one half years was bookkeeper for the Palace Clothing company. Three years ago he entered the office of the Strauss agency and a little later became man ager and owner of that business. His friends point out that his thorough knowledge of bookkeeping and gen eral grasp of office work, together with his ever courteous bearing toward the public and his absolutely clean and honorable business record, makes Mr. Brown an ideal aspirant for the office of city treasurer. This is Mr. Brown's first offense' the nrst time ne nas sion fee. "Warden Haskell question- I, BOUKht office of any kind at the hands ea my right to inspect the prison as an official of Oklahoma," says the re port, but very courteously offered to show me over the prison. One of the members of the board of control, which was in session at the time, said to me, 'I would like to know who commissioned you to come here and spy upon this institution.' I re plied, I am commissioned by a mil lion and half citizens of Oklahoma to investigate this penitentiary, either show me through as a state officer or order me out. I shail do my duty un less I am forced from this institu tion. Water Cure anil Minos The report states that Warden Has kell then told her she could interview some of the Oklahoma prisoners in his office, but could not talk to them in their cells.

Miss Barnard mentions an Oklahoma boy, iiddie Reese of Harrington. Ok., 16 years old, who she says was chained ln one of these dungeons. "All men have a spark of divinity, nd no guard should forget this," says the report. "The superintendent of tie department showed me a beautiful tolaid table made by a prisoner who was standing near.

At Leavenworth, although the men do not work underground, the report srates that the 300 Oklahoma prisoners there nr fed twice as much. The cost of feedlne prisoners at Lansing is 10.9 cents a day, at the Wisconsin peniten tiary 11.4 and the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth la. Oklahoma pays for maintenance ot each nrisoner 40 cents a day, Wisconsin 48 and Leavenworth 56.9. Some of the Oklahoma prisoners are worked at 50 cents a day, which makes a net profit of 42 cents per prisoner to Jtiansas. Alleged Mine Conditions. With reference to conditions in the mines, the report states that many of th nroDs are rottinsr: that many pris oners are compelled to work in twenty- two inch veins, lying nat on tneir backs or sides where a child can carceiv crawl inruuKii auu vncic rn prisoner is in greatest danger oi losing charged s liie. One Oklahoma boy helped to pull three men out of rooms where the laie roof had closed in upon them durine the last year. "This condition makes mining a hell within prison gates." says the report, "for the man who has no other alternative than to go down to this dark death cell every day or go to the dungeon and starve. And the mines are so dangerous that for many it proves a death sentence. "Mining as q. form of prison work has long ago been relegated to oblivion by the enlightened nations of the earth, and it is pitiful in the extreme and a sad commentary on the state of Kansas that one of her institutions is still maintaining the same." The report criticises .the system al leged to be in vogue in connection with shop work, permitting the contractor to fix the amount of work each pris oner shall do and puts it in the same class with coal task. The report states that suction pipes should be provided in the twine rooms to carry off the lint and 4ust. Black Dungeons. Miss Barnard's report says she found fourteen black dungeons, with sprocket on the wall and handcuffs hanging loose at the door, with only a slight opening at the top of the cell, so that when the door is closed the pris-, oner is in inky darkness.

The International Sunday School Les son for December 13 ls, "Solomon Dedicates the Tempi." 1 .Kings 8: -1-11. 1 BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The famous psychologist. Professor William James, of Harvard, has recent ly said, "It la quite obvious that a wave of religious activity, analogous in some respects to the spread of earl Christian itv. Buddhism and Mohammedism, is passing over our American world. Throughout history there have been these waves of religious interest, vari ously expressed. In King Solomon s time this spirit flowered in the erection of the great temple, the glory of which marked high water in Jewish ritualistic worshic The present-day religious mood does not take the form of church building, although the magnificently simple church of the Christian Scientists in Boston, the great cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, and the sump tuous cathedral now building in Wash ington, are evidences that men still de light to honor God through sumptuous forms and towering stone -and beauti ful paintings and" stained-glass win dows. Mora signicant of the temper of the time are the "cathedrals of work, the office buildings which are nowadays being ereeted as denominational head quarters and as mission houses. For human service, evangelistic seal, tne spirit of brotherhood and expressions o the spirit of civlo righteousness evoke today .the religious fervor which in Sol omon's time concentrated upon the great temple. A Churchman Who Was Not Good. There has always been a deal of scorn expressed for conspicuous church men whos zeal for personal righteous ness does not equal their ardor for the concerns of organized religion. Hypo crite" is the mildest word that critics find to describe this type. Perhaps some persons suppose that this sort of man has come into existence along with our modern swollen fortunes. Yet even the great King Solomon was such a one. David's son is best known for the temple which he built. That was his chief gift to his kingdom. The splendor of that creation is the shining event of his reign. To the end of time Solo mon will be known as the man who elected wisdom (although he did not always employ it), and as the builder of the glorious first temple of the Jews. His own conduct was not so beautiful: he was an ease-loving, oppressive, self indulgent king, who brought heavy woes upon his subjects, and, despite the great temple, which bore his name, he led them into Idolatry. A brave word of truth needs to be spoken concerning Solomon, and all who have since followed his example of do ing munificent deeds in the name of re ligion without conforming their own lives to the plain requirements of Je hovah. These times are ready to speak that word. For God is not to be bribed by gifts nor flattered by pat ronage, nor won by good deeds, osten tatiously performed with the right hand while the left is engaged In evil. The first obligation which Jehovah lays upon anybody, high or low, is to obey his law: from a reckoning on -account of that obligation he cannot be diverted. i i nv.vnk a nfiHlA nhilan- v ueauuiui v 1 1 1. thropy, is no substitute for a clean life.

Let no one confuse the relative importance of the two on this account. We have not yet got to the point of dedicating new office buildings with solemn ceremony and ritual. The church stands for the high- nTTwntzalnrt- r mflll fl Hie: VUito building represents him on. a lower scale. A church represents the perman ent emritual ideals.

Of course. Religion Is the savins; salt of society. Real estate mn. In unabashed commercialism, confess that the presence of a church enhances the value of their property. Whoso helps to build a church, or to maintain one. Is contributing directly to the social welfare of his nelghfoor mu and ii the a-eneral stability of his time and his nation. Nothing has bound the heart of successive genera tions of Jews to Jerusalem or helped to solidify their national con sciousness like ths presence of the temple. As the Orient Builds. Anybody who has traveled through the east, and especially through India, can appreciate somewhat the mag nificence of Solomon's temple. There Is no architecture to equal the Taj Mahal: no masonry to equal the Pyramids, In all this western world. I have seen Oriental palaces and tombs and mosques and temples which reveal a richness of architectural imagination, a sumptuousness of scheme, such as our western builders seem never to approach in their wild est flights. Not the Vatican itself, nor any of the cathedrals of Europe and America that I have seen, conveys to my mind so good an impression of what Solomon's tempi must have been like, or contained, as does the stately marble "Temple of Heaven" in Peking. For seven years Solomon's work men wrought, "and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard In the house." From the un derground quarries still shown the visitors the finished stone was borne to the building, and there fitted in place. Ths narrative of the con struction of the temple and its em bellishments Is fairly bewildering to the present day reader. The best that most of us can gain Is this general impression ef largeness, strength, magnificence and richness. For the best is befitting the highest. What Makes a Church? So the great temple was com pleted, after seven years, without mortgage or endowment. Jnto it, with pomp and procession of exceed ing brilliance and impressiveness, the ark of the covenant was borne. This, with the hovering cloud of fire which had guided wandering Israel, signified the presence of Jehovah. Similarly it is not form, but fire that the churches of today need. We are past masters of methods; and we have the most ingenious auditoriums for wor ship, parish houses and Sunday school buildings. The twentieth cen tury has placed Its skill at the ser vice of. religion. Yet tha lament is general that the results of church work are distressingly meager. A questioning and heart-searching are going on among churches of all names. What is the need? Is it not for the fire that made Solomon's temple holy for "the glory of the Lord" to All "the house of the Lord?" We leave Solomon, where we like best to contemplate him, on his knees in prayer. This course of Old Testa ment studies ends for a season with this lesson; and we do not pursue the analysis of the king's character to its lamentable end. A man Is at his high est when he is praying for others; and Solomon's prayer of dedication, comprehending even the heathen, is a revelation of the spiritual pos sibilities inherent in the man. Had he and his people been true to that ideal the temple would not have be come decadent, nor the nation broken up. tmiHiHiu Km i m 1 1 it benuinp Ufd tasnioned l.oarhound Candy Hade as they should be, without cheap adulterants or. ingredients.

Terse Comments on the Uniform Topics for Dec 13: "Books That Delight and Strengthen." Prov. 4:1-9. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. A man may be known by his books as by his friends. His choice of books re veals his character as truly as his choice of companions. The careless thinker, the one of indiscriminate tastes, the low minded and the vicious are shown to be such by the literature to which they turn with greatest pleas ure. But the man who has a liking for good reading can not more help prov ing himself cultured than the flower can help revealing its beauty. A taste for good books is an anchor that will hold the spirit safe in many of life's storms. If young people could understand that the best books are also the most interesting, a deal of trash would quickly go out of print. The "popular" books that stream from the modern press are really not half so entertain ing and absorbing as the great stories that have stood the test of time. In truth, the reading public will not let a stupid book live. Sheer interest is one of the standards that must be con formed to by any book that Is to have a permanent value. A real pleasure Is conferred, upon a person, as well as a genuine service done to the cause of good literature, when he is made to un derstand that the greenest pastures for all who would browse in the printed page are those provided by the masters of the art of writing. The good book and the goody-goody that has value is the one that reflects book are not the same thing. The book real life, and every page or wnicn breathes sanity and wholesomeness. The morbid, sentimental and sancti monious volume is really a, bad book. for it violates the eternal canon of life and art. The best book always sets forth, in fair proportion and in living colors, "things as they are." That so much of the "popular" literature of re ligion has not done so has been a re proach upon the wisdom of Christian writers and publishers and teachers. "No profit goes where there's no pleasure ta'en," says Shakespeare. The truly helpful book must be an interest ing book. What a reader takes to a book de termines, in part, what he will get from it. Thus Kipling's best works are to be appreciated only by those who under stand his India, either by personal travel there or by previous reading. In like fashion, a book about heaven is not understandable or attractive to one who has no interest in things heaven ly. The carnally-minded man gets lit tle out of the Bible, and is likely to vote it a stupid book. A book is a friend, to be treated as such. In order that it may fill-the high offices of friendship. This is a newspaper-reading age; and many persons bemoan this fact. Yet how comes It to pass that this Is also the greatest book-reading age of the world, with more public libraries and these better patronized than the schol ars of an earlier generation would have deemed possible? From a study of life as it is mirrored in the pages of the daily newspaper it is a short and easy step to the study of life as it is more fully, discriminatingly and entertain ingly set forth in the great works of literature. na linhU tn Ha rnrrnnt ri V books as by companions. Fielding. The great public libraries report that the most popular books among their readers are works of fiction. There are several good reasons for j this; and among these must be lnclud-; ed the desire on the part of multitudes i of persons to find escape in the world j of books from the irksomeness and unliveliness of the real world in which they live. A book is a refuge for the weary, the discouraged and the dis satisfied. In its realm all turns out well, and things are seen in propor tion. What a comfort are books, even surer than the comfort of living friends. One needs only scant im agination to picture the multitudes of heart sore men and women who this day will turn to the Book of inspira tion to find the comfort which the world haa withheld. One can better afford not to read the best selling- book of the month than to miss those classics which bear the seal of the approval of the cen turies. And if one feels that the latest books may not be. omitted, then at least the wise rule may be adopted to read one old book for every new one. is not also worth rereading. To chasten one's speech, to elevate one's thinking, to enrich one's vocabu lary, and to stimulate one's Ideals, poetry should be a part of one's daily intellectual 'food.- He who- lives- with the poets is himself better worth living with in the everyday spheres of com monplace activity. No man should think so highly of himself aa to think he can receive but little light from books; no one so meanly, as to believe he: can discover nothing but 1 what is to be learned from them.

No man knows life who has not been quickened intellectually, made sensitive to every human need about him, conquered the beast within him and been thrilled with a great love of divine beauty. Rev. Dr. Edwin H. Delk, Lutheran, Philadelphia. -SPREADING THE GOSPEL. A wonderful change would be wrought in the world if those who knew the Joy of being followers of Christ would go forth and tell it to each one they met. The world .would soon realize that the Christian life was a vital matter and would be changed. Rev. J. W. Baer, Presby terian, Brooklyn. TRUE FAITH. He that, has the true faith must first, be able to give a reason for that faith; second, desire that others share it, and, thirdly, by comparison with other religions prove its superiority over others In the blessedness and ex cellence of its virtues and its Influence and power for the larger number of the people in the world. Rev. Mau rice Ruben, Baptist, Pittsburg. KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS. Jesus came to bring "the kingdom of the heavens." We shall have this kingdom when we learn sky lives to love as royally as sunsets, to trust as purely as 6 tare. ?to order our society and government as smoothly as the punctual planets and to suffer as summer storms which leave the landscape breathing freshness behind them. Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Con gregationalism Worcester, Mas:. SACREDNESS OF SMALL THINGS. We should realize the sacredness of small things which we Ignore or despise the deed that uplifts, al though it Is unheralded; the word that inspires, although uttered so gen tly that your neighbors do not hear it; the hand clasp which puts your brother firmly on his feet without public applause. Hence the small things dare not be despised by those of us who wish to rise to higher things. Rev. Abram S. Isaacs, He brew, Paterson, -N. J. EFJTECTIVE PRAYER. Prayer to be true prayer must come from a. penitent heart that has submitted everything to the will of God. It is only when you are in accord with his will that you are clothed about with his righteous ness. When you have squared your life with God's laws, then you will have con fidence; then whatsoever you ask you wiil receive; Why? Because he has put his wishes in you, so when you ask you ask only for those things agreeable to his will, and of course you receive. Rev. Dr. S. Edward Young, Presbyterian, Brooklyn. FAITH AND PRAYER. Faith is the passive attitude of the soul where we surrender ourselves to it and are molded by it. It is opening the shut ter of the soul and letting the heavenly image impress itself on the place. Days of darkness will be required to develop It. Temotations will fix it there. The imaite stays forever when once so fixed. Prayer is the attitude of the man by which he contemplates his own best self and for the moment surrenders himself to that. It molds In clay the clay which by chisel and hammer Is to be carved in the marble real. Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, Uni tarian, Washington. CURE FOR WORRY. Worry reduces our power of resistance. Hone is the best defense against a foe. The cure for worry is certain. There are specifics, and the prescription is not hard to take. Cultivate a personality. Get above merely trying to make a living and seek tn mnke a life. Let some noble am bition throb In your breast. Get out of doors in God's pure air and under the blue sky and by the chanting sea. To see nothing but man's handiwork i enough to gH-e a man the blues. Stop feasting at night and late hours, plan for seven or eight hours of healthful sleep, drink quarts of pure water daily, eat an abun dance of plain food. Indigestion destroys more happiness and religion than atheism. Three-fourth of the worry of life is due to careless treatment of our bodies. Have a few good friends. Male yourself worthy of them. Many parsons by neglect lose their choicest friendships. Read great books until their authors are your abiding companions. Look for the bright side of things. An advertisement appeared In a metropolitan paper: "Wanted A com panion: a Christian, but cheerful." A merry heart is a good medicine. Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Locke, Methodist, Los Angeles. Cal.
