The official press bureau made the following statement today: 'With reference to the an nouncement from Ottawa on No vember 28 that the Canadian gov ernment had commandeered 16. 000 0(10 bushels of wheat at the request of the British govern ment, the board of agriculture states that the British govern ment has made no such request and that at present it has no in formation on the subject."

The action of the Canadian government in com mandeering under the special war act approximately 20.000,000 bushels of wheat is expected to result In only slight fluctuation in the American market, according to opinions early today ot leading grain dealers in Chi cago. The market probably will not be appreciably affected, they declared, as none of the important dealers in Chicago, the center of the nation's wheat trad-, was directly involved. Experts said the price of grain had been kept down thus far this year for two reasons. The first, they said, is the enormous supply, both in the United States and Canada, and, sec ond, the absence of competitive bid ding. Most of the supplies for Great Britain and its allies have been pur chased through agents long ago. John Bull Beats Speculators.

He immediately went to the White House and began work on his next annual address to congress. which he expects to get in final shape i for the public printer today. The I president took the address with him I to New York and discussed it with Col. E. M- House, his personal friend and I adviser, J Wheat Leaps as Markets Are Opened Chicago, Nov. 29. Wheat jumped in price today as a result of the Canadian government seizure of 20,000,000 bushels. Predictions, however, that a five cent advance would be added to values here right at the start were not verified, the extreme opening changes being to 2Vs cent. The m:rkot here, opened ex citedly, with December delivery at $1.05 to $1.06, as against $1.03 H at the close Saturday and with JVIav at $1.07 to $1.08 as against $1.06 1.06 Commission houses and shorts were the most active buyers. Sellers were scattered, although one of the largest firms boldly took the position that the action of the Canadian government meant that Canada was to have preference in filling foreign re quirement and the result will be a falling off in export business from the United States. Reactions from the initial top figures quickly took place and the market became a broad general one with feeling decidedly nerv ous. Bulls were to a large extent held in check by opinions indus triously circulated that the Eng lish government prooably would do all or nearly all of the Itrit isli, French and Italian business, and that United States exporters would be virtually put out of business, at least cn any material advance of prices. After sagging a little further, the market tightened again as the view became more prevalent that an enlarged demand on domestic stocks of wheat might be ulti mately unavoidable. This pros pect was confirmea to some ex tent by announcement just before the close that export sales for shipment by way of the Gulf of Mexico had been made today amounting to 500,000 bushels. Closing prices were firm, 2 4 to 2 (ft 2 cents net higher, with December at $1.05 and May at $1.08. Active and Higher In Xew York. New York, Nov. 29.

December wheat opened on the Mer chants' exchange today at an ad vance of 1 to cents and May at an advance of 1 to 2 Y cents. The quotation on December was $1.03 4 to c and on May $1.07 to $1.07. In the tirst hour December i.ml May dropped back to an advance of one cent and l!4c, respective ly, on Saturday's close. No Hurry at Iuluth. Duluth. Nov. 2 9.

Kansas City. Nov. 2 7. Differ ence of opinion as to what effect the Canadian government's seiz ure on wheat in eastern and lake terminals would have on the ex port market held the market for wheat futures with a narrow range at the open ing here today. December wheat, in which practically all of the early trading was done, open ed at 99 cents, a rise of 2 cents over Saturday's close, but quickly settled hack to 98 and held at 97 to 98 for the first hour. The opening five minutes was excited, but after that little trading was done. May wheat also opened up, the first quotation being 2 cents above Saturday's close, but reaction took place almost immediately and the price steadied around $1.01. Traders here held widely differ ent opinions as to the effect of the Canadian government's action. Many of the chief exporters de clared they could see no reason for its effecting the general mar ket, since the amount of wheat taken over was fuch a small per cent of the visible supply. Topeka Market Not Affected. The commandeering of 20,000. 000 bushels cf Canadian wheat by the British government has not affected the local cash market, according to Topeka millers. The option market in Kansas City opened two cents high today, but unless it remains there or goes still higher the situation will have no bearing on the market here. "On account of the extremely small amount of steamer space available for transportation. American millers have been un able to move out any considerable portion of the grain in this coun try available for export," David Bowie of the Page Milling com pany pointed out this morning. "For this reason it is doubtful if the American market will be af fected by the seizure, despite the fact that it opened higher this morning.!' Owing also to the great amount of Canadian wheat still available for export it is doubtful if the commandeering of 20,000.000 bushels of wheat will be felt by the American market. ON EAST SIXTH Lawrence Interurban Survey Is Filed With County. South Side Line Will Enter Topeka From Southeast. HERE IN A FEW MONTHS J. 1. Bowersock Says the Work Will Begin Soon. Heiin Extension to Topeka May Be Abandoned. The long talked of, dreamed of. speculated upon and surveyed plan of Topeka being the western terminal of an interurban railway or interurban railways between Topeka and Law rence or Topeka and Kansas City, is fast becoming a reality. Evidence that Topeka will be the western ter minal of a road between Topeka and Lawrence was shown this morning when the Lawrence, Topeka a: West ern railway filed blue-print of its pur veyed right of way through Topeka and Shawnee county with the Shaw nee county clerk. Work Will Begin Soon. Work on the Topeka-Lawrence line will begin as soon as possible, accord ing to a statement made today by J. D. Bowersock, an official of the Law rence, Topeka Western railway, over the long distance telephone. "I am unable to give any dates, but I think I can safely say that the lines will be built into Topeka inside of a few months," said Mr. Bowersock. Would there be any barns or sta tions built-in Topeka? Mr. Bowersock was unable to make any definite statement, but Topeka being the western terminal of the road, an attractive station and ba,rns would probably be built near or on Kansas avenue. Mr. Bowersock also stated that arrangements with the Topeka Street railway for use of their lines in Topeka might be made. Abandon Helm Line. Mr. Bowersock was asked about the abandoning of the project providing Heim of the Kaw Valley lines, "came through" and built his road on the south side of the river. The Law rence financier stated that he could make no definite statement but did say that it might develop that it would be unwise to have two lines running between Topeka and Lawrence on both sides of the river. Mr. Bowersock stated that the company which he is an official will build only between Lawrence and To peka and" not west of Topeka or east of Lawrence. Itlglit of Way Into Topeka.

The admin istration's reply to those who criticise the recognition of the Carranza gov ernment in Mexico because of charges of outrages upon priests and nuns of the Catcholic church was made pub lic here last night in a letter by Sec retary Tumulty to Dr. James J. Mc Guire of Trenton, N. J., who recently wrote to the White House asking for an explanation of What he character ized as "widespread criticism." Secretary Tumulty advised Dr. Mc Guire that the files of the state de partment failed to disclose any offi cial record of a single proven case of outrages upon nuns, and he included in his letter a statement by the Cath- olic vicar general at Mexico City, which, while disclosing the shooting of priests, and the expulsion and im prisonment of otheis, declared there bad been no violations of nuns in that district.

"The Bulgur- ians are withdrawing troops from the Turkish frontier and are dis patching them to other front in anticipation of an attack from the side of Kumania. or by way of the Black sea." says a Keuter dis patch from Saloniki, "while some of the tiermaii forces in Serbia are proceeding to the support of the Bulgarians against a prospec tive Russian invasion." Paris, Nov. 29. Germany is rushing preparations today to resist a Russian attack in the Balkans. The kaiser evidently has decided the czar is about to strike. Tim mo- ment this happens, it seems certain Rumania will be swept by just such a Teutonic flood as passed over Bel gium and Serbia. All their preparations show the Russians will enter the Balkan field by a rush through Rumania, into Bul garia. 't he Germans apparently propose to meet the invasion frontally on the Bulgaria frientier and attack the Russians from the westwards and on the flank. The flank attack will make a vast battleground of all central and west ern Rumanip- Only a narrow strip on the Black sea coast can hope to escape. If the fighting on the Bul garian frontier goes against the czar's forces, the tide must sweep also across Rumania from the southward. This will mean the devastation of even the eastern region. Signs have multiplied in the last few days that Rumania will join the allies. As diplomats here see the situation, she has little choice. The czar is be lieved to be resolved to crons her soil with or without consent. The Balkan situation is too serious to permit de lay. The czar is bound by no treaty such as guaranteed Belgium's neutral ity. Several hundred thousand Rus sian troops are massed on the fron tier in Bessarabia.

HURRY! prats, jyfeH BUILD OR ENLARGE Meeting of Business Men Held at Mayor's Office To Take Action Looking to Xew City Building. AUDITORIUM IS INADEQUATE Present Structure No Longer 3Ieets the Public Needs. Those in Attendance Are Reti cent Regarding Their Action. Plans either to build a new city au ditorium or to enlarge the present hall to give more seating capacity were considered today at a meeting held In the office of Jay E. House, mayor. E. H. Crosby was chairman of a commit tee appointed by the Commercial club to take up the matter with the city of ficials. The meeting was held behind closed doors and none of those attend ing would talk for publication. If plans for a larger auditorium are carried out, it is probable that an entire new city hall building will be erected, or the present structure will be remodeled to such an extent that it will have little resemblance to what It is now- The auditorium part or the city hall building now extends from Quincy street to the alley. There is considerable space, how ever, which is not occupied between the alley and that part of the building used for city offices. The only way to enlarge the present auditorium would be to take the space now used for city offices between the big hall and the fire department headquarters and combine this with the space now not built on. To do this would necessitate putting the' city offices in the old council chamber. This would make room for only part of them, and as a result of cramped conditions the sleeping rooms of the firemen, which some persons figure will not be needed under the double-plattoon system, might be used for office room. ROADS QUIT FIGHT Twelve Missouri Companies Abandon Jurisdictional Issue. Contest Over Overcharges To Be Waged in State Courts. Washington, Nov. 29. Twelve Mis souri railroads today abandoned In the supreme court attempts to re quire the Missouri federal district court to take jurisdiction over all suits to recover from them overcharges collected during the unsuccessful at tempt to annul the Missouri maximum freight and two cent passenger law. The suits already filed seek to re cover $24,000,000 from the roads. At torneys for the roads announced they would fight the claims in the state courts. The attorneys asked the court to dismiss Their appeals on the question of jurisdiction.

MOUN DAYS LOSE The U. S. Supreme Court De clines to Review Their Case. The Only Hope Left Lies in President Wilson. Washington, Nov. 29. The supreme court today declined to review uie case of Mr. and Mrs. Don A. Mounlmy of Topeka, Kan., convicted of using the mails to defraud, and that of the Rev. Otoman Zar Adusht Hanlsh of Chicago, convicted of sending, an ob scene printed book through the mails. The MounDays, Mrs. L. D. V. and Don A., were convicted in the federal district court on charges of using the mails to defraud in land deals in the Upper Pecos valley of New Mexico. The MounDays claimed to own thou sands of acres of land in the valley and from their offices in Topeka were selling It. Fred Robertson. United States district attorney, who prose cuted the case for the government, charged that they made thousands of dollars in the deals. The MounDays were arrested in To peka in the summer of 1914 and in December they were found guilty in the federal court in Kansas City. They appealed. The lower court was up held. Motion for a new trial was made. It was denied. The denial of appeal in the supreme court leaves no alternative open to the MounDays but appeal to the president of the United States. MounDay was sentenced to serve two years in the federal penitentiary and pay a heavy fine. Mrs. MounDay was fined 1300 and costs in the case which amount to thousands of dollar REAL BLUE MONDAY In Many Topeka Homes Tlicro Was No Breakfast Today.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- MONDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 29. 1915. PEACE JUNKET IS CONDEMNED ProminentKansas Editors Ridi cule Henry Ford's Scheme. Both Scott and White Take a i Shot at It. CHILDISH AND IMPERTINENT Is the Way the Iola Man Char acterizes It. Commends Wilson for Refusing to Give It Recognition. Kansas is not wildly enthusiastic over the Henrjr Ford peace junket and the encouragement given the trip by Governor Capper, who for three days considered ,seriouly some meth od that might permit him to. make the jaunt. Even William Allen White, representing the progressive deas: and Charles F. Scott, representing the conservative thought of the state, agree that the European peace trip is the mosc silly and impertinent junket on record. When Governor Capper finally wired the automobile manufacturer that he could not make the trip, he hastened to assure-the Detroit-millionaire that his sympathy and best "wishes were with the expedition. "Now when the governor turns to the edi torial pages of the Kansas press, he will find that the editors are poking gentle fun at the effort of a handful of Americans to lell the European rulers to stop their foolish fighting. Both Scott and White, who have net agreed on a public measure for many days, are unanimous in their verdict on the European peace jaunt. What Scott Says. -Expressing his view I;,th trip, Scott said: "What can Mr. Ford and" Miss- Ad- dams and the ninety-and-nine 1 others who are to make up the. party all of them going as Mr. Fora s 'guests' what can they say to King George and Emperor William and the dozen other presidents, princes and poten tates who stand at the heads of the warring nations that they do not al ready know? Shall they say to them: This is a horrible war! It is costing thousands of lives every day. It is i filling your lands with mourning. It is desolating your fields. It Is piling j ud staggering loads of debt.' Don't the kings and the presidents and. the princes know all that already, and know it more poignantly that Mr. Ford and Miss Addams can possibly know it? And then when Mr. Ford and Miss Addams have imparted this information what is it going to effect for them to add: 'And what is more, this awful war of yours shocks us dreadfully. Won't you p-l-e-a-s-e stop it!" What will the kings and the presidents and the princes say to that "With their lips they will doubtless make some polite reply, for that is the way of the great of the earth. But in their hearts will they not deeply resent the implication that th6 war. 'this frightful world conflagration in which substantially one-half the hu man race is directly involved, came from so trivial a cause or is leading to so inconsequent a conclusion that its continuance. or cessation depends upon the request of a shipload of junketing foreigners! And in their hearts will they not despise the shallow-thinking and the self-conceit which have inspired the idea that be cause one is an American millionaire he can charter a ship and take over a hundred men and women and put a stop to a war in which notTnen" and money merely, but empires and dynas ties and the destinies of 'nations are at stilt' "It is reported from Washington that President Wilson refuses to give the party any sort of official recognition, and for that contribution to the self respect of the country he Is' to be much commended... For admirable as is the motive that, doubtless prompts the undertaking It cannot but be re garded by those to whom Its petitions are to bs addressed as an intolerable impertinence,' to be' forTen only be cause it la so utterly childish and naive. White's Suggestion. Now William Allen "White of Em poria adds this kindly, tender sugges tion: "War means horror and injustice and cruelty and barbarism.. But a dis honorable peace, a mere laying down of arms to pick them up some other day. will be a disgraceful peace, and Governor Capper and Mr. Ford will do better to stay at home and Jet nature run her course. There is a peace that is more important than the peace of Ford; it ia the 'peace of God which passeth understanding.' When it comes it will bring victory for. democ racy, and until it does come it will be better for this war-to wage a hundred years. For there will be no peaoe un til that great peace does come, and what U a, century, when a 'thousand years are but as a watch in the night?'

The right of way map filed with the Shawnee county clerk this morning is on a survey that was made several vnril fi trn it is said. The Lawrence interurban right of way enter Shawnee county through Monmouth township, about eight miles south of the river, and follows a creek west to the B. Hinchlitt farm.

Mexico to contribute in every manner to the early rehabilitation of the na tion so long torn by civil strife, and to avoid keeping open- the wounds. "Counsel and sympathy are need ful and would be merciful now, be cause they would bje a vonderful effi cacy in uniting the people of Mexico in the work of reconstruction," wrote Mr. Tumulty. "Efforts to arouse ran corous feelings among them will have the effect of opening anew the wounds which should be healed, arid of cre ating an open sore to torture that poor people as long as their minds are inflamed against their brethren." Recognition of Juarez. The secretary also called attention to the recognition of President Juarez by the Buchanan administration, fol lowing "the bloodiest of all civil wars ever waged in Mexico," marked by "all the bitterness and cruelties of a. religious war." Emphasis was laid on the recogni tion of Carranza by the Latin Ameri can countries which joined in the Pan American peace conference. All of these Latin American countries, Mr. Tumulty pointed out, were Catholic nations. .V Finally, a statement was reproduced which was given the state department by Eliseo Arrendonao,. .tne Washing ton representative of General Car ranza, last October, pledging the Car ranzo government to respect every body's "life, property and religious be liefs." Secretary Tumulty inclosed in. his message a letter written by former Secretary Bryan last March to the Rev. Francis C.

The British pub lic is not inclined to grant the German contention that the Serbian campaign of the central powers has been brought to a successful conclusion. The hope is expressed here that the wintry weather will give time for re inforcing the Anglo-French troops un til they are strong enough to assume the offensive before the invaders have consolidated their positions in Serbia Russia also is counted on to play, a part in these operations. Meantime, the only active military 'operations seem to be centering around Monastir, the fate of which is obscure. The many contradictory re ports on this subject vary from the assertion that the city still is in the hands of the Serbians, to the claim that the Bulgarians, accompanied by detachments of Austrians and Ger mans have occupied the city. Serbs lie in North. Further to the north it is reported the Serbian armies, divided into two sections, are retreating into Albania and Montenegro. It is not yet aonar- ent whether Austro-German forces are to be sent against the Anglo-French lines ox those or saioniki, but at the other extreme of the Balkan front the Montenegrins are expecting a heavy attack from the Austrians. The entente ministers at Athens are said to have received the reply of Greece to their second note. Greece is reported to have promised to meet all demands which do not threaten to compromise her neutrality. An unmistakable lull prevails along the eastern front.

THE Piano .P.WHUMOM MAJU&U Not After NEEDS OF KANSAS Set Forth by Charles M. Harger in Magazine Article. Betterments in Correctional Work of the State. THEY MAKEALONG LIST At Public Expense Nearly 1,600 Persons Are Maintained. They Cost the Taxpayers About $450,000 Eyery Year. Charles M. Harger, chairman -of the state board of corrections, in a recent magazine article, mentioned what Kansas needs for tlje betterrnent of its correctional work. Among the things most needed are sanitary cell houses for penitentiary prisoners; separate barracks for diseased inmates; cottage system for trustworthy inmates; all women delinquents at Beloit under board of women managers; expansion of trades education in all institutions; extension of parole system, especially for younger inmates; public defenders in counties, and a state labor bureau to secure employment for paroled inmates. Mr. Harger's article in part follows: Three times every day nearly six teen hundred inmates of the Kansas correctional institutions sit at table at state expense. Every, night they are under guard in cells or dormitories. Sixteen hundred persons are to- be clothed and over two hundred em ployees are paid salaries to see that they obey regulations restraining them from liberty. The inmates are dis tributed thus, the figures being given for the past five years: S3 O July 1, 1910.

These girls, boys, young men and mature men and women cost the state $450,000 every year, not to mention the loss through -their removal from productive occupations nor the expense incurred in legal proceedings. There is tome return in the productive labor performed the twine mill and coal mine at the penitentiary, farming op erations and minor industries at the other institutionsexcept for this they are a. dead load charged to the taxpayers. The popular idea is that the state's problem is to protect society and to visit punishment for deterrent effect on others,, with such remaking of the inmates for good citizenship as may do possible. Actually, its first nrob lem is how so to safeguard its rising generation that there shall be a de crease in the number of inmates: its second is how best to restore those now in ostody to society; the rther duties-come after..thse. t A criminal .career,- seldom breaks out suddenly. It is a growth. Th boys and girls sent to our institutions rarely are there for first offenses. Mostly they have been bad boys and girls; tho town marshal has repri manded them; the -probate Judge hat? struggled with them, finally running with the "gang" they do something so inexcusable that they are sentenced. In a large number of cases there is. back of this, family trouble the par ents are dead -or divorced, or one is deau ana the other remarried. The child had no real home. Driven to the street, it learned the lessons of crime. Many of the young men have wandered over the country, tramping. They know more of- the world's wickedness than many a man learns in """all his life. Occasionally is one who has a good home but did not ap preciate it. Sometimes a sinsle mis step is so serious that conviction quickly follows. To these there is as .much punishment in the first night in a cell as can be given in a years hard labor in the mines. Should Be Handled Individually. The girls have somewhat similar ex perience broken families, neglect, bat tered around the world, victimized by human wolves, they often look upon the state's care as the only touch of kindness they remember in their lives. Because of these conditions each in mate of the institutions for the young er generation inmates must be handled as an individual. No hard and fast rule can be laid down for discharge or parole. One 18-year-old boy with a good home, fine Christian parents forged a small check and was sen tenced to the reformatory. The dis trict judge wrote a letter a few days later asking that he be paroled. The boy was away from home; he claimed that his employer owed him for wages but would not pay him. He was des pei-ately homesick and tried to get his money. The judge explained that he did not understand the story or he would have paroled him from the bench. It would have been cruelty .to have refused the father who came to plead for his son and to have kept the boy for one or two years in the institu tion. In other cases young men have led such a life of recklessness that nothing but a long time of restraint can make tnem see the world in right perspective. The truth is that many inmates are better fed, wearing clean er clothes, and are caring for their bodies more intelligently than in years. They have kept irregular hours, used cigarettes, drank and wasted their lives. One or two years of discipline may instill ideas of right living that will stay with them when they go out. BIG FAIR DYING GAILY Last Week of Ianama-Paeific Exposi tion J uii or inniis. San Francisco, Nov. 2 9. The Panama-Pacific exposition has entered the last week of its existence, and, ac cording to the official program, it will j be one of the busiest in the exposi lion's history. Continued interest in the big show was emphasized by the report today that the attendance yes- terday exceeded 165,000. The two big events of the week will i be a prosperity ball to be held Wed nesday night and a celebration which will extend through the week of the j triumphs of electricity. It is planned to have closing day, December 4, celebrated throughout the world by a chain of toasts to be exchanged by radio telegraph and cable. A big military pageant is on the program, and salutes will be fired from the harbor forts and from the warships in the bay. POINTS JOUT A GAP J. C. Mohler, Secretary State Board of Agriculture, Addresses Students at the Hays Experiment Station. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY Producer and Consumer Should Be Brought Together, He Says. Deeper Study Should Be Given to Methods of Production. Hays, Kan... Nov. 29. J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agri culture, today told students at the ex periment station that Kansas needed some new system of business operation that would bring together the pro ducer and the consumer. It is this gap in the business world, he declared, which is causing waste of time and money and 'promotes the nigh cost of living. Deeper study should be given the raising of grains and live stock al ways with one eye on the market of supply and demand that the profits of the producer might be increased and the expense to the consumer might be lessened. Mohler pointed out many items of unnecessary expense in the handling of live stock and urged that Kansas stockmen engage more extensively in stock breeding. The palmy days- o- the cattle ranges are gone, he told the students. Another reform needed on the Kan sas farm is the adoption of a more economical and efficient method of marketing products, Mohler stated. County exchange bureaus would lessen the cost of handling cattle, he said. On the other hand, the building of private or co-operative grain elevators would mean several cents a bushel to the wheat producers, in the western counties. Mohler'9 Address. v Mohler said in part: "The gap between, the producer and consumer needs to be abridged. There is some slack that should be taken up. They need to be brought closer togeth er in transactions vitally important to each. Present Thethods are wasteful of time and money. To correct these conditions appears to call for some practical plan of co-operation. Thoughtful men have foreseen this necessity- The idea is of course old but its practice is Relatively new in the middle West. Bur it is making pro gress, and the prospect is that in time the business of farming will be made more- profitable through the adoption of more economical and more efficient methods of distributing and market ing. In the case of live stock it is not infrequent tot Keeders to be shipped, say to Kansas, if rom one part of a county and brought back later by an other resident of the same county. Had there been some sort of county exchange bureau,: .the expense of two freight shipments and two commis sions might have been saved. County agents may be helpful aids In promot ing trade, in many, ways between neighboring" or' nearby farmers. Farm era' elevators, where intelligently con- uuvjicu ji4v iiiciiiiauf increasea me the grower's profits' f roTm his crop. It is csumaiea tnai co-operative ele vators have saved to the wheat grow' ers patronizing these institutions an average of three cents to the bushel. At tnis rate, applied to the state's wheat crop last year, the gain would amount to nearly five and a half mil lion dollars, in. the aggregate. "Another need of Kansas, and one that rests largely .-with the. farmers tnemseives, to supply, is for more and ueiicr live siock pot only, in-- this por tion, but throughout Kansas. There is little or no incentive to produce more forage, more kafir and the like. it mere is no stock to eat the feed, There is much more feed raised this year in Kansas1 than there are ani mals to consume it, and for which there is no other profitable market in the main except as it is converted into meat or milk on the farms where grown. Raising a. surplus of feed for which tnere is no market is calculat ed to induce one to sow more wheat for which there is always a ready sale. But experience has taught the wisdom of depending rather less on wheat and more On diversity and animal husbandry.- Our trend has been that way, and it should continue that way with out interruption. To get more stock means that the farmers many of them must get back into the breeding business and raise the animals to eat the crops that are grown; must raise the animals to take the place of those that used to come, from the great range country at. a cost below what we could raise them for. The palmy days of cheap range cattle are gone forever." CONDENSED NEWS Cavell Witness a Suicide. London. Nov. 29.

WHEAT Canadian eoiuuiaiidering of millions of bushels of wheat brought about an excited ruBh of buying here today and caused a decided upturn in prices. The market, however, as whole, did not prove as wild as many traders had expected, and the advances were moderate compared with what prev iously been witnessed many times since the beginning of the war. Notwithstanding the Canadian seizures of wheat were gen erally accepted as emphasizing European need for wheat, the bulls here were re strained by fears expressed that no increase of export demand from the I'nlted States would follow, especially while ocean vessels were being largely monopolized by -the British to carry shipments from Canada. upening- prices or wheat here, wnicn ranged from l.c to 2t4c higher with Lie- cember at $1.058l.O6 and May at $1.07 to $1.08t&, were succeeded bv a reaction to lightly under the lower side of the initial range.

This promises to be the doggon'dest day San Francisco ever had. The Interna tional Dog show. begins. About the only well known dogs absent are the dogs of war. It is a most aristocratic affair, this show: what the unregenerate would describe as an occasion for much dog. That canine whose pedigree isn t twice as long as a greyhound's tail, just doesn't belong, that's all. While the proud father and mother dogs- sat stiffly about with their noses and tails in the air, the puppies, more democratic because they didn't know any better, yipped and rolled and tumbled and chewed each other's faces very fiercely. There was a general bark of wel come and much august tail wagging when the show opened. However, it was not the sort of welcome that would convince any unsoaped kioodle on the outskirts that HE was wanted. Dog fanciers from all over the world are here. Several thousand dogs are benched. Awards will be mostly in $1 to J5 prizes and ribbons.

Women Abroad. Women in all cities and towns in Germany are now being mobilized and are convoyed to meetings where culi nary experts explain to them how to prepare palatable meals with the most unpromising materials. Russia furnishes more woman fighters in war time than any other nation. Since the present war began eighty Russian women, all of whom served in the ranks either as fighrers or were under fire as Red Cross nurses, have been given the Order of St. George. British women are now forming Tipperary clubs, which will bring to it does not appear. Is not this form of rebuking the kaiser illogical as well as ineffective? "Why should the devil have all the good tunes?" aski.d Rowland Hill. Why should the Ger mans be allowed to monopolize a go.-d English name? The memory of such great Englishmen as Shakespeare and Wordsworth should suffice to stay William from oblivion. American par ents never gave vent to their resent ment against George III by boycotting the name which Washington also bore. There are fashions in names, it is true, as in other things. The lives of great men remind us that they cerve unconsciously as godfathers for hun dreds of obscure offspring. Presidents of the United States have always been honored in this way. There were, many Williams who date back to the time of McKinley and others to the time of Taft. The Theodores are be ginning to grow up, but the Woodrow ure still infants in arms. Even in the names that own no distinguished bearer, tastes vary with the cycle of years. The Nettie and Hattie period ended long ago. Earl and Howard, Dorothy and Gladys have lost their popularity. The plainer names have come into their heritage again. Phil adelphia Ledger. Timid Counsels. We feel a delicacy no, we will hon estly admit the truth we feel a very decided timidity in offering advice to the suffragists about their political af fairs. They have discovered that making a constitution, even for a state federation of women's leagues, is a difficult business, and they will doubt less hereafter have some sympathy for the mere men who formulated that inefficient and Ptupid instrument, the Constitution of 'he United States, which the ladies are so anxious to amend in their own interest. Until they can get together on such a com paratively simple proposition as that of union among themselves. It might be well enough to refrain from at tempts to make the federal constitution conform to their ideas. We make these few remarks with diffidence, not to say with apprehension. Yet wisdom is Justified of her children. The main difficulty with the suffrage movement in the east and south is the persistent and Ill-advised attempt to make a national Issue of what belongs to the states, and to extort an alleged right by a wholesale enactment that ignores fundamental principles. If the suffragists in Maryland and else where could realize the unwisdom of a plan of campaign that is as distaste ful and offensive to. men as the plan of effacing individual leagues seems to be to the ladies connected with them, we believe they would mako more rapid progress.

The f?tste Journal Is a member of the Associated press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization, for the exclusive afternoon pnMicat'on in Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole purpose. MEMBER: i Associated Press. r Audit Bureau or Circulations. American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Henry Ford says he has statements from officials high up in the govern ment circles of both the central pow ers declaring they are ready for peace. And. there have been rumors a-plenty of late from many European neutral centers that Germany and Austria, the central powers, are in such a mood. Neither is there- any reason why they shouldn't be. as all the preseht advantages of the war are on their side, and they would naturally he in a position to dictate the peace terms. But the Entente Allies are far from being convinced that they arc beaten and have no chance of event ually winning the war. This being their feeling, it would savor of th-3 impossible to win them over to a peace parley now. and they are likely to tell Mr. Ford and his friends in a most polite manner to mind their own busi ness. Incidentally, the great German drives always teem to come a cropper before their destinations are reached. General von Hindenburg, for in stance, is withdrawing from the Riga Dvina region. Not so long ago, and Germany was certain that her posses sion of Riga was only a matter of a few days. It is all very nice for the bakeries cf London to plan on making a million pium puddings so that each British soldier at the front can have one for his Christmas fecst. But the soldiers would probably prefer to eat their pudding at home, if they could have their v.-uy abnut it. After a man has been defeated by a few votes, observes the Toledo Blade, his friends know just where they could have obtained the required num ber to elect him. had they suspected the race was reing to be so close. It is pointed out by the Chicago Herald that the trouble about all these observations which successful men make about work being necessary to success is that they are absoluteiy true. How coca it happen that Mr. Bry an is not active among those present in the. Ford peace movement? Come to think of it, thoush, he has one ot his own. That the pvaco which prevails be tween the United s;aies and Mexico is purely a theoretical variety is evi denced again by the considerable bat tle that was fousht tha other day be tween the United States troops and Mexicans at Norralcs. Carranza'i pacification of his ecmain seems to move alonrt rather slowly. without a summons from the dean. Always the aim of students appears to be to escape as much as possible of the college life provided by the facul ty,' in order to indulge in more of the collesre life provided by themselves. Their inventive powers are marvelous; they bring forth an endless procession of devices for evading the opportuni ties for the sake of which (according to old-fashioned notions) students seek admission to college. The com placent acceptance of this condition by college faculties the persuasive assumption that students have no genuine intellectual enthusiasm tends to stagnation. In the realm of thought some appear to have discov ered the secret of petrified motion. FOIi BETTER TEACHERS. Former President Taffs suggestion that the United States bureau of edu cation be converted into a national university for the training of school teachers is worthy of the best con sideration. The teacher is the key stone in the educational arch. A competent teacher will achieve ex cellent results with pupils, almost re gardless of whatever educational sys tem is in vogue. So all possible agencies for the development of such teachers should be utilized. And, in deed, the federal bureau of education is already working along the line sug gested by Mr. Taft, in the Teachers' Reading Circle it has recently istab lished. This is to promote a two years reading course amon? the teachers of the country on subjects that will develop their general intelli gence and the technique of their pro fession. And the teachers who com plete this course will receive certifi cates testifying to their accomplish ments. They'll be better teachers for it, too. WORKED BIG SWINDLE C. Brokers Indicted for Defrauding Investors Out of $43,000. The Evening Story Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 29. R. A. King and J. W. McCoy, local livestock commission brokers, were indicted by the Jackson county grand jury today, charged with defrauding an investor out of $43, COO on alleged forged notes and. deeds of trust supposed to have been secured by cattle mortgages.

In Kansas, thourrh. he nr:on stages a pre mature performance. Topeka's ideal facilities as a con vention center are best testified to by the fact that curing: the past year no !ss than 65,000 people came to the city to attend gatherings of one sort or another. Comptroller of the Currency Wil liams's plan to compel national banks to publish the maximum interest rates they charge would probably end the practice of uury in which not a few such banks ure said to indulge. Pub licity is a great littlo cure for evils oi such a variety. ATHLETICS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. Intellectual enthusiasm is rare in American colleges, and likely to be rarer still if social and athletic affairs continue to overshadow all other in terests, writes William T. Foster, in the November Atlantic. Their dom inance has given many a college faculty its characteristic attitude in matters of government. They assume that boys and girls will come to col lege for anything but studies. They tell new students just how many lec-t.-ires m each course they may escape. A penalty of unsatisfactory work is the obligation to attend all the meet ings on their schedule, and the usual reward for faithful conduct is the .privilege of "cutting" more lectures Governor Capper and Warden J.

"I can see you or your father earning ana putting it by like fun Jess pouted and stared out at the bifurcated view of Washington Square visible from the basement windows. She was tired of the bifurcated view and the passing half sections of hu mans, tired of the dark back rooms of the janitor s flat, tired of being part of the janitor's family, tired of the whole thing, and the eight thousand in the savings bank over in Jersey looked like the door key into Paradise. "We could get a little apartment up town and I'll work "And what would you work at, darl ing?" blandly from her mother. "I don't know. I'd like to be a buy er. They're treated awfully well and they get a chance to travel. I just hate New York." "And what would you do with Bai-ty?" asked Mr. Avery. "He wouldn't give up a growing business to go off on a wild-goose chase with you, Jess." "He could stay where he is. I don't want to marry a fireman." "There's a widow's pension goes with it, Jess, mind," her mother said coothingly. "And Barty's a fine' lad altogether. It's a sight better than watching from that window for Mr. Delguardo to show up again." Jess flushed slowly, leaning Her chin on her hand. It was a pretty chin and it was a pretty hand. She had not lived her life out down in the basement by a long shot. From six to fifteen she had been in a convent up the Hudson, and when she gave the, girls her address she always said she lived down in the old Washington Square studio district, which was quite true; but she did not add that her father was a janitor. Always they had accused her of building castles in Spain and longing for the things she could never have. It had been a joke for years Jess and her high-flying notions and then out of the blue sky almost there had dropped a real live gentleman from Spain, Antonio Delguardo, an artist, who took the third floor studio, paid his rent in advance and acted like a grandee. Before his coming, Jess had gone out for an evening walk with Barty now and then when he was off duty, and had even taken in the theaters with him, or an occasional trip to the beach, but one day when she was sweeping the basement steps Mr. Del guardo had? stopped grill gate to ask if the mail had come, and Jess had told him she would take it up to the studio for him. "Ah, no, senorita, not at all," he had declined. "I will myself descend for it. It is not for you to come so far. I thank you." The whole world turned a somer sault for Jess right there and then. Here was one human being who recognized- at a glance that she did not belong In the basement stratum.. When the postman whistled, Mr. Delguardo came leisurely down and received his mail, and he bowed to ner ana smiley. Later on, out in the little flagged back courtyard, Jess heard him sing ing in Spanish, and it was "La Pa loma." Nearly every day he sang it, and it became the uplift of the day to Jess, the rich, caressing notes and tender Spanish syllables. After that she could not go out with Barty not with "La Paloma" ringing in her ears and the Delguardo manners as a criterion of good taste to measure Barty by. One day she was directing the vacuum-cleaner man around the house, and came to the studio1. She opened the door with a pass key and entered with a fast-beating heart. Here was the inner shrine of his personality. While the man worked, she looked around. And it seemd wise to put away the choicest bits of bric-a-brac that were exposed. There was a large inner cabinet closet between the studio and bedroom. She opened its doors delicately and stared. Could the grnndee be doing light housekeep in? There was what seemed to be an alcohol stove, but of a strange pat tern, also some peculiar bowls of dark metal, much burned, and other things, including bottles full of liquids like photographic chemicals. All were rather mysterious. And while she stood irresolute the gentleman from Spain walked in. His eyebrows lifted slightly at the sight of her. He seem ed surprised more, grieved. Jess was all blushes and anxiety, as she ex plained. His tone was soothing. "It is nothing, senorita. It was the dazzle of sunlight in my poor studio that bewildered me for the instant. I thank you. I kiss your hand in token." Now Jess had never had her hand kissed before, and she went lout a queen. When he brought her a gar denia that evening it seemed all part of the new wonder of life, a single gardenia given with such a bow and look. Jess was standing out on the front steps listening to the band over in the square, and she lifted the flower to her nostrils, inhaling its perfume luxuriously after he had gone up. ".5y. 'tis hot, ain't it Jess?" said Mrs. Avery, coming heavily up out of for a breath of air. man about it and she heard. Del guardo was a receiver of stolen gold. He melted it up neatly into ingots in his tidy little light-housekeeping utensils, and his name was not Del guardo. It was "Guiney Jack." Somewhere at her feet lay the gar denia. Unconsciously Jess' arms were like her mother's when Mrs. Avery was on the offensive akimbo a la County Limerick. Smoky and dripping, Barty was the last to leave, after the firemen had extinguished the blaze Mr. Delguardo had started by trying to ignite the alcohol and escape in the excitement. He paused beside Jess. "How about the movies tomorrow night, girlie?" he asked. "I'd like to go," Jess smiled back. The castle in Spain became a mir age. It seemed good to strike earth again. Barty's foot crushed a gar denia as he gave her hand a sciueeze and followed the rest out. (Copy right, 1915, by McCiure Newspaper Syndicate. "LGGAL MENTION.

The moving picture men will aid in the prosecution of three men arrested Sunday, two for selling gasoline for automobiles and one for buying it.

The grain commandeered is in ele vators at tort William and Port .Ar thur, Canada, and in other cities east ward to the Atlantic coast. The or der is for all of the No. 1, 2 and 3 grades. A considerable portion of it is the property of American dealers. At a meeting of the grain exchange in Winnipeg it was decided there would be no trading in Winnipeg wueiti lutures tooay. Shippers Must Buy in V. S. New York, Nov. 29. Much of the wheat commandeered by the Cana dian government was under contract to New York shippers, according to grain dealers here. Many of them have sold grain for December ship ment and must obtain it from other sources to meet their contracts. This situation is expected here to create an increased demand for wheat grown in the United States, as millers in this country who ordinarily have obtained much of their supply from Canada will be compelled to turn to a greater extent to the home market. Shipping agents here say the seizure of wheat by Canada does not mean that it3 shipment to Europe will be diverted from the United States ports, as they do not believe the Halifax and bt. John can handle the Canadiai crop. Portland, Me., is considered a great outlet for Canadian wheat, and shippers betieve that a large propor tion of the grain will be exported eith er through .hat or other United States ports.

Mr. Strauss disputed this statement, saying that Mr. Sale had included in the international charges of the new company, not only fixed charges, but theise whose payment is contingent only on there being available ner earnings for the purpose. Mr. Sale included these contingent charges on the ground that the stockhedders would receive no dividends until the contingent charges were paid.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice. The etary Is contained in a statement is sued bv former State Senator J. May- haw Wainwright, counsel for the elder Triest, and a letter written by Colonel Roosevelt. At the pier the father said: "We are under the ereatest obliga lions to the British government and there are certain phases of tnis un fortunate case we are not at liberty to discuss. Father to Kescue. "Mv son ran away from home and enlisted in the English army. He went to England by way of Canada. He wus placed aboard a British warship. While there he wus induced to write a letter to Germany by a fellow sailor said to have been a German. In this letter he asked for information as to the best way to reach Germany. The letter was intercepted and hia arrest followed. "I left New Tork on November 6 after arrangements had been made to secure my boy's release. In London I was met by Captain Hall of the naval bureau. He told me that my son would be delivered to me on Friday, November 19. He would not say where Kenneth was confined. We were reunited on the day promised." v i 1 .,,,,1 t A i i I L 1 1 mi m i auu l v. vulge the name of the place of incar ceration. Senator Wainwright's statement said: Several persons or prominence gave us generous aid. We have been particularly indebted to Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, and Capt. Guy Gaunt, the British naval attache for their sympathy, con sideration and assistance. That, how ever, which really brought about the result, in fact, saved this boy's life was the intercession of Mr. Roosevelt. I appealed to him. He responded with directness and force. He wrote in his j own hand a statement oi ine niu.iiei as he saw it. "This letter was sent by the British ambassador to Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty and Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, together with a strong letter. Itoosevelt's Letter. "Mr. Roosevelt has consented to permit me to publish the following letter, which he sent me after we were informed of the decision reached in the case." Colonel Roosevelt s letter reads: "1 have received from the British ambassador at Washington a letter statin? that Sir Edward Grey and Mr. Balfour have caret ully gone over tne facts about Mr. Triest as set forth in my letter. They tell me that they find that TrieBt shows no signs of madness, but may have an unbalanced mind and that the British government is prepar ed to give him the benefit of the doubt. "He continues: 'What they are pre pared to agree to is the following: If the father comes over to t-ngiano ana makes himself responsible for taking his son in his own personal charge and escort back to America the boy will be handed over without being brought to trial. If he is brought to trial, the trial can hardly fail to end in condem nation -the facts being as they are. The only way to avoid a trial is the course which Sir Edward suggests. Please inform the persons concerned. 'Please show this letter to Mr. Triest. I understand he has agreed to the conditions. That is, will make him self responsible for taking his son in his own personal charge to America with him. If the boy shall appear to re still of unbalanced mind my own Judgment is he ought to be sent to some sanitarium at least until this war is over. 'If he has in any way recovered then Mr. Triest should bring him to me and give me the opportunity to explain to him in the presence of his father and of yourself the terrible character of the offense he has com mitted and1 the heavy load of obliga tion he and his family are under to the British government. I wish him to understand that the offense is not only an offense against the law of na tions but an offense against the law of honor as understood by gentlemen. An ofiense which if it hadn't been com mitted when his mind was unbalanced would unfit him for association with any soldiers of a high standard of pro fessional and personal probity and honor1. 'Moreover, he should understand and appreciate the contrast between the conduct of the British government in his case and the conduct of the German government in permitting and sanctioning, what in order to be truth ful I can only describe as the butchery of Cavell. Mi.ss CavelPs Case. 'Miss Cavell was butchered for ac l.ons such as were taken by hundreds, probably thousands of women in our Civil war and it never entered the heads of the Union or Confederate governments that it was possible so much as to consider putting to death these women. Te ..xecution of Miss Cavell was a deed of black horror and when I saw the account of it, I confess I did not believe the British rovernment would interfere in the case or young Triest. 'Of course the British eovernment had a thousand-fold more InstifirAtion ior insisting upon tne execution of Triest than the German government had for putting to death Miss Cavell The boy should be made to understand the mercy and magnanimity with which the British government has treated him. 'Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'" Another Cuanee for T. It. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 2 9. One of Colonel Roosevelt's hunting compan ions, the Rev. Frederick Krieger, has been captured by the British on sus picion of being a German spy in British East Africa. This was learned today. Word was received. in the minister's family home, at New Brighton, that he is being held in a concentration camp in India. ORIENT ASKS TOO MUCH Permission to Issue 71 Millions In Se curities Is Denied. Orient railway officials will not be permitted by the public utilities com mission to issue 71 million dollars worth of bonds. This action was an nounced by the commission today, bas ed it was stated, on the limited invest ment and holdings of the road. That the road may file a supplemental peti tion, the commission will hold in abey ance a formal order. Properties of the Orient railway company are not sufficient, the com mission held, to warrant the approval of a bond issue such as was recently sought by promoters of the company. Even when the extensions are made, the commission found that the total investment would be but 36 million dollars a little more than fifty per cent of the desired bond issue. Judge E. F. Foley of the commission stated today that the commission did not desire to prevent the reorganiza tion nroeram of the company. For that reason it was asserted that offi cials of the road would be notified of the attitude of the commission, but that a formal order would not be is sued at this time. Such action was taken, it was stated, that the road might file a supplemental petition seeking approval of a smaller bond issue. "The attitude of the commission re garding reorganizations is not such as would permit the approval of the 71 million dollar bond issue," said judge Foley. "When the proposed extensions of the road are made, the total invest ment of the company for construction and equipment will amount to but Sb million dollars. This is not consider ed sufficient to warrant such a large issue." In a recent hearing before the public utilities commission, attorneys for the Orient explained that money was need ed to pay off outstanding accounts and to complete the road from Wichita to Kansas City. They asked approval of bond issues totalling 1 million dollars, A schedule of the assets of the com pany, filed with the utilities commis sion, showed total property holdings of but 36 million dollars even after the road entered Kansas City. W hether the road will amend its pe tition and ask for a smaller bond issue. is not known in Topeka. Until a de finite statement is secured, however, a final order in the case will be held up.

SOAKED GIRL'S ASHES Restaurant Boy Thought I'm Con taining; Them Was a Ho rub. New Yo-k, Nov. 29. Ray Frye, manager for a West Twenty-third un dertaker, checked a parcel at the coat room of Murray's restaurant Sunday night Then he and Mrs. Frye went in to supper. The coat room boy thought he heard a queer noise about the pack age. He remembered the recent dis charge of some foreign employees Finally he told Manager Patrick Kync, who called for the police. Two detectives dunged the package in a bucket of water. Owen Egan arrived from the bureau of combustibles. He rescued the package and took it to the bureau. A copper urn was disclosed. On its side was engraved the informa tion that it contained the ashes of Mabel Hite Donlin, who died on Oc tober 22, 1912. TEN MORE NEW HOUSES Permits for Structures Issued to tli Sliawnec Agency. Warsaw, Nov. 2 9. Hundreds thousands of the civil population in the Warsaw district of Poland are suf fering for want of food. A consider able percentage of this number still are homeless, living in huts, caves and abandoned trenches. The situation is more serious because of the immense number of persons thrown out of work by the almost complete paralysis of Polish industries. Some workers have emigrated to Germany where employ ment is plentiful but the great 'ma jority prefer to remain near their homes in the hope of better days. Prominent Poles in all walks of life maintain that drastic relief measures are necessary if wholesale deaths from starvation are to be prevented. Such flour as is now on hand is being distributed by the Germans un der the bread card system but only potatoes are available in quantities, while there is an acute shortage of dried vegetables, meat fats and con densed milk. Prices all over Poland have risen to unprecedented heights, but can not be checked by the estab lishment of maximum prices, it is claimed, because of the fear that im portation then would cease altogether. Pensions Cut Off. Suffering is especially acute among the families of Russian reservists who formerly received regular payments from the government. Pensioners now are cut off from their former incomes and the Russians are charged with having taken with them the funds of savings banks depositors. The coun try districts of Poland from one end to the other are battle scarred, barren and fire-swept. In the Warsaw gov ernmental district alone it is estimated 4,000 villages were burned by the Rus sians. Many of the inhabitants who at first fled with the Russians later returned and thew themselves upon the mercy of the Germans. Thousands' already have died of starvation and disease superinduced by hunger. Moth ers remaining alive are so under nourished they can not feed their children. In Warsaw and Lodz women now rise at 3 o'clock in the morning to get good places m the bread lines and not miss the chance to obtain some food at least. The horror of the situation is increased by a serious shortage of coal, due in part to destruction of the mines and in part to inadequate rail road facilities. j Heroic Efforts to Aid. Committees composed both ofi Christians and Jews, with the as-, sistance of the German government are conducting soup kitchens at War saw and Lodz, distributing food and fuel. Eighty-one kitchens are running full blast in Warsaw, while numerous asylums and homes lor young and old are in operation. Lodz is trying to feed 300,000 of its half million population. The authori ties are holding a tight rein on the flour supply to make it last until the next harvest. Homeless peasants are being given lumber and tools to erect houses before winter, living mean while in duarouts near thsir old homes, cooking on improvised hearths. The city of Lodz is paying pensions to the wives of reservists on the chance of being reimbursed lrter. Koad building, railroad and bridge work are being carried on extensively n order that the unemployed may earn something. All these measures bring on'.y partial relief, however, be cause of the shortage in a number of articles of food which are imperative ly necessary.. Germans Fight Disease. The German authorities are strug gling desperately with epidemics of disease which have come as a result of sanitary conditions in the ravaged district and are making slow but sure headway. Cholera, typhoid fever, scarlet fever and diphtheria have been stamped out or are under control in most districts. Statistics which ap pear to be authoritative show that from 250,000 to 350,000 persons are being supported in Warsaw alone. This number is steadily increasing. Meanwhile, funds raised for charitable purposes have been virtually exhaust ed. These funds, amounting to sev eral million rubles, were given by Pol ish and Jewish organization neutrals, and the Russian government. With this money it has been possible here tofore to distribute 1,250,000 portions of soup, bread and meat monthly. Less than one-third of there food sup plies has been paid for by those who received them. The cost of the food distributed free has amounted to 115, 000 rubles a month. Can't Import Supplies. The food department of the Warsaw government which has been selling at cost prices has been obliged to restrict this work because of the exhaustion of the supply of foodstuffs and the im possibility of importing from neutral countries. The greatest need is for fats, butter, peas, rice, and beans. The citizens committee claims that all flour, corn and feed materials have been confiscated by the military au thorities or taken to Prussia. The German government has given assur ances that 80 per cent of what has been taken will be returned when milled. The Germans have taken EATON FOR SHERIFF Former Chief of Police Enters Crowd ed Ticket for Shawnee County Job. R. W. Eaton, chief of police under Mayor Green, 1907-10, announced to day that he would be a candidate for sheriff on the Republican ticket next fall. Eaton is a Shawnee county product.

Wilson in Message to Deal With I Munitions Conspiracies. CLOSING. Q) J TF rS x& fe fe" M llT To Urge Broadening Sherman Law to Punish Offenders. New York. Nov. 29. The govern ment was forced to admit that it does not consider Captain Roy-Ed, German naval attache, a conspirator vviih Ham. burg-American officials in the scheme to furnish German warships with sup plies from American porls. The admission was wrung from As sistant United States Attorney Wood after a wordy battle in the trial of the steamship line officials. Attorney Hand for the defendants objected to further introduction of evidence re garding the steamer Maria Quezada. with which Captain Boy-Ed w.as said to have been connected. "We demand to know," said Rand, "what position the Kovernraent takes regarding Captain Boy-Ed. Does this government consider Boy-Ed a con spirator in this case? "We do not," said Wood, "but we are using the evidence necessary to bring out our contention. At 1 e same time we are not using any names be cause it is not necessary." Buenz Admits Charges. Direct admission that vessels char tered by Hamburg-American line were to be used for transferring supplies to warships at sea was made in an agree ment signed Iry Karl Buenz, managing director of the company, and intro duced in evidence at the trial of the four Hamburg-American officials to day. The agreement, made with' owners of the steamers Fram and Soramer stadt, guaranteed them against loss in the event of damage while transfer ring supplies to "warships of the em pire of Germany." The agreement, in Hochmeister's own handwriting, and signed by Buenz, included the following clause: "In case of damage to vessels by reason of attempts to transfer cargoes to the warships, of the empire of Ger many, the Ham burger-American line will be responsible for all damage and demurrage." On cross-examination, Bullowa ad mitted that he was still acting as counsel for owners of the steamers Xepas and Mawinkle, wio have litiga tion involving the same issues involved in connection with the Fram arid Som merstadt. Kept Ships and Papers. William Rand, jr., chief counsel for the defense, sought to show Bullawa an interested witness1. Rand drew from Bullawa an admis sion that Bullawa insisted on the agreement in order that he might have written evidence of the ships' real destination. Bullawa admitted that his clients, even after the agree ment was drawn, refused to permit the Fram. and Sommerstadt to make the voyage. "You kept both the papers and the ships," asked Rand. "Yes," said Bullawa. After examining several witnesses, who testified to minor matters at the afternoon session the government rested its case- Washington, Nov. 29. President Wilson's address to congress next week not only will treat upon grea ter preparedness for national defense, but will call to the attention of congress the explosions and fires in American industrial plants. The president intends to recom mend that the Sherman law be amended to- include severe penalites for such restraints of trade. Any division in the ranks of Amer ican citizens whose sympathies with the warring- belligerents may have led to excesses will he emphatically con demned as un-American by the pres ident. In several recent speeches the pres ident has spoken for "America first," and called upon Americans to stand united. That he considered the sit uation of sufficient importance to bring to .the attention of congress, however, had not generally been real ized. The president is expected to refer to the subject in his address in con nection with a general statement that the United States can be really pre pared only if all its citizens stand to gether and repel outside influences. APPEAL FOR HELP Volunteer Civil War. Officers Ask Aid to Pass Townsend Bill. An appeal for aid in the effort being made by the surviving union officers of the Civil war for the pass age of the Townsend bill by the next congress is being made by the Kan sas Association of Volunteer Officers, through Col. W. W. Smith, of Topeka. A circular letter to all the retired Civil war officers iri the state was mailed ioday asking that they help send a committee to Washington to work for the bill. Capt. F. M. Kimball, 113 West Sixth street, is working with Colonel Smith to line up the Kansas forces for the bill which provides for the retirement of volunteer officers of the Civil war upon one-half pay, the same as the officers of the regular army now en joy.

Where are the pre-nuptial invita tions that should be pouring in on the fiancee of the president of the United States? Special correspondents have been sent out on the assignment of learning everything to be found out about the next" mistress of the White House, and they have brought back to their headquarters reams of copy about trousseau gowns, and they have accused Washington of snobbery for standing aloof from a- woman whose husband wag "in trade," but they have not yet reported any stunning social events for the bride to be. Washing ton gossip percolates out to "the sticks." and it forms the subject of our own bridge table and tea com ments. Topeka women are just now concentrating on the question of the whereabouts of the invitations. v v r The Spalding Reading Circle will rfrt-et tonight at Assumption hall in stead of in the club rooms of trje Knights of Columbus hall, as pre viously arranged. Apropos of the fad for certain fur trimmings, a fashion magazine says: The French poodle can step about a little more proudly this year than ever before, when he looks about him and thinks where the idea of fur topped boots and fur trimmed pantalettes comes from." The papers have carried long de tailed accounts of the Harvard-Yale football game, but an untechnical view of the thing is written by a To peka girl who is away in the east to school this year, who writes about it in a letter to a Topeka friend. She Bays: "We went to Boston by boat, in spite of the threatening weather; for we had bought our stateroom tickets and could not think of losing so much money. Harvard just walked all over Yale, but the crowd was wonderful, and there was cheering and singing, and all sort of excitement to make it bearable for the defeated ones. After the game we went to town and washed off the dirt, and went out to a restau rant to dinner. By that time Harvard was down town and so was Yale, and it was hard to get a place to eat. "Then followed the most exciting dinner I have ever attended. It was most festive. The Harvard people were having cocktails to celebrate their victory. They were glad that that they had won. The Y'ale peo ple were having cocktails to drown their sorrow. One Yale group was ex tremely happy one of the women especially. She rose and danced, by herself or with anyone who would dance with her. Then she sat on the lap of one of the men and put her arms about his neck. There was ever so much music, and when the songs of the schools were sung the men and women stood up. One of the men who got up for the Harvard song re quired two waiters to seat him again. He couldn't seem to get down. I think he could have fallen down or even sat down, but his aim was not steady, and the waiters appeared to want him to sit in his chair.

I CHoose TO t)lG Of? oit ce g' Up to the Minute SportingNews From Everywhere. BY'tLUG" NAVY UNPREPARED "Wilson Saw Its Weakness at Football Game Saturday. Whole "3Iiddie" Eleven Could ot Stop Western Player. New York, Nov. 29. The Army football eleven, showing a better state of preparedness than the Nvy team, triumphed over their Annapolis vivaTs here Saturday, 14 to 0. Twice during the sixty minutes' battle between the competing academies, the Soldiers hurled a 42-centimeter shell in the person of Elmer Q. Oliphant through the protective armor of the Sailors' battle ship and in the gray dusk of a drizzling afternoon the Midshipmen craft sank with every gun working desperately, but futilely, against the superior equipment of the Army. Although the Aliddy team fought with unflinching courage from the opening shot until the naval academy pennant sank from sight, the struggle availed it nothing against the over whelming power of the Cadets' attack. The irresistible charges of Oliphant, the former Purdue university star, could not be stopped by the .Sailors and the West Pointers time and again pierced the first and second lines of defense until the Navy was ex hausted. Wonderful Charges. Had Oliphant been injured in the opening minutes of the conflict 'he midshipmen might have had a chance, but the middle Western football bat tering ram refused to heed the sav.'.ge tackling that scarcely halted his mad rushes. Through the line and around the ends he crashed or sprinted, hurling off tackier after tackier until the Middies found that it reqi"reci the entire eleven to stop him at times Since it was not always possible to concentrate the whole squad in his flving path his gains constituted about 70 per cent of the distanco covered by the Army charges. President Wilson and 44,00') other spectators watched the battle between the rival arms of the service, for getting in their enthusiasm th-J gray mist and the occasional drizzlvj of r.iin which marred an otherwise prf j :t gridiron classic fought out in a set ting never surpassed in the history of the Army-Navy football series. The improvised gridiron was sur rounded bv permanent and temporary stands, which housed for a few hours a distinguished host of government army and navy officers,, as well as prominent social leaders from most every city in the Union. Students in Hodies. In the midst of the gaily colored throng two spots of unusually brilliant hues stood out where the two bat talions from the academies were quar tered in the side line stands. From these roints of vantage the cadets and middies hurled eongs and cheers across the field, led by the blare of the rival institution bands. While the play was of the usual hard character that marks the an nual meeting of the two service elev ens, it was extremely clean through out and the best of feeling prevailed among the players. The warm, misty atmosphere proved very trying upon the members of both teams. The victory of the soldiers was the third consecutive one in as many years and put West Point in the lead In the series, which began in 1890. Since that year twenty games have bieen played between the two acade mies, including the game Saturday, 'and the count stands ten games to nine in favor of the cadets, with one match that of 1906 a tie.

Good football backs were plentiful, but good line men scarce in the central states, ac cording to critics who assumed the task of picking all western teams. The name all western itself is a mis nomer, for only the limited territory from Ohio to Nebraska, inclusive, is covered in the search for talent. No account is taken of the mountain and Pacific coast players, although at least one of them, Herman Abraham, of the Oregon Aggies, made a remark able showing against the Michigan Aggies, one of the best teams in the district covered. In the selections available, the fol lowing have received the greatest number of votes: Ends Chamberlain, Nebraska, and Baston, Minnesota. Tackles Buck, Wisconsin, and Shult, Chicago. Guards Fitzgerald, Notre Dame, and Dunnigan, Minnesota. Center Watson, Illinois. Quarterback Russell, Chicago. Halfbacks Maulbetch, Michigan, with Rutherford, Nebraska, and Mc Combes, Illinois, equally divided. Fullback Bierman, Minnesota. All-Eastern Picks. New York, Nov. 29. The close of the eastern football season finds a wide variance of opinion among close followers of inter-collegiate play regarding the final rating of tins lead ing elevens and the players to be se lected for the mythical all-eastern team. Certain players such as Barrett, of Cornell, and Mahan. of Harvard, art unanimous choices, but in other rcsi tions a half dozen candidates are put forward, all having excellent claim for consideration. High claps backfield material was abundant, as well as heavy, powerful men for the center of the Una out there was a scarcity of brilliant ends and quarterbacks For the backfield. Barrett, of Cor nell, is the logical quarterback, while Mahan, Harvard, leads in the race for fullback. There is not the same unanimous opinion regarding the two half backs. While all those who have prepared all eastern teams have not been heard from the consensus of opinion to date shows the following players in the lead:- Ends, Soucy, Harvard, and Higgins, Pennsylvania State. Tackles, Gilman, Harvard, and Abell, Colgate. Guards, Spear, Dartmouth, and White, Syracuse. Center. Prer.t, Pittsburg. Quarterback, Barrett, Cornell. Halfbacks, Wilkinson, Syracuse, and Hastings, Pittsburg. Fullback, Mahan, Harvard. WESTERN ARMY CAPTAIN. SKATERS ADOPT THE CHIN CHIN COLLAR l A V jfiryg'igf.t.-gy fe This season's skating costumes ex cel anything that has yet come to th fore in fashions 4 r this sport. And one of the most popular innovation is that of the "chin chin" collar, which is shown here.- The picture shows Louise Boldt in a blue duvtine trimmed with coney. The hat is of white velour trimmed with black seaL IN CXASS TO THEMSELVES. McEwan. of Minnesota, Will Lead Cadet Eleven in 1916. WTest Point. N. Y., Nov. 29. The victorious Army eleven returned home at noon Sunday from its triumph over the Navy and was accorded a hearty welcome by the cadet corps. The stage which carried the men up the long hill was pulled by 600 cadets. The acad emy band headed the procession and cheers and songs, with the cadets' now famous "Good Night, Navy," featur ing. On the train coming from New York, the team elected Cadet John J. McEwan, the big center rush, as cap tain for next season. McEwan has played three years on the eleven. He is 22 years old and 6 feet 2 inches in height. He was ap pointed to West Point from Minnesota and will be graduated in the class of 1917. Oklahoma and Nebraska "Hogged' Football Honors of the Southwest. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 29. Two teams stood out preeminently among southwestern contestants for the foot ball honors in 1915. These were the University of Nebraska and the Uni versity of Oklahoma elevens, unde feated claimants of the championships in their associations, the Missouri val ley conference and the Southwestern Athletic association. All the teams of these organizations experienced one of the most successful seasons in years, according to college authorities, who expressed gratifica tion today at the spirit shown by the competing elevens and the enthusiasm with which the public attended the various games. It is believed the sea son was a success financially for near ly every major team in the southwest. A minimum of accidents and no fa talities occurred in southwestern col legiate games this year. Who Will Be K. U. Leader? Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 29.- Now that the football season at K. U. has ended, the students are wondering who will be elected captain for next year. Three men are eligible -Lindsay, who star red in the Missouri game; Heath, who has played right end on the team for the last two years, and Wood, the star quarterback. The general opinion is that Lindsay will be elected. SATURDAY FOOTBALL RESULTS. Hot Summer Baseball Fight. Chicago. 111., Nov. 29. A fight on the summer baseball question be tween the liberal n n snnson'stiv. alp. ments is predicted for the meeting of J tne .Big -Mnes faculty governing board at its meeting here next Satur day, following the strong showing made by those opposed either to the rule against s.ummer baseball or to its "rigid enforcement at the meeting of coaches and athletic directors here. It was pointed out, however, that the faculty opinion might not follow that of the athletic departments. Get a New Georgia Peach. Boston. Nov 29. H. L. Chanchey, an outfielder of the Macon.

When tho jury ii: a western court found the accused guilty of the crime charged, the prisoner rose in the dock and dramatically excUtimcd: "May heaven strike me ciead if I am guilty!" The judge waited a few minutes, and then said: "Prisoner at the bar, fcince Provi dence has not seen fit to interfere, tho sentence of the court will now be pronounced." DR. GEO.

B. and a few of their kind should have been at the Polo grounds Saturday afternoon when the Army defeated the Navy 14 to 0. Of course, they probably wouldn't have understood what it meant, but there were enough grizzly admirals and gracious "Middle" sisters. present to have convinced them that unpre paredness is a terrible thing. It also was a noteworthy incident that even the mightiest efforts of a Von Heimberg on the Navy team fail ed to save the day. And when the Germans are unable to pull the ox out of the ditch, the ditch must be pretty deep. The easy manner in which Notre Dame smothered Rice Ins. 55 to 2 Sat urday indicates that if the' Sooners should meet the Catholics In Kansas City, they would have their hands full. Also, when one remembers that Notre Dame defeated the Army and lost to Nebraska by one point, it seems that the Sooners would be showing more valor than discretion by playing the proposed game. Four leagues, of 12 clubs each, will compete in the National Rifle asso ciation shoot in which Topeka will entera team. The winning club in each league will be awarded a medal. After the league shoots have been completed, a grand championship shoot will be held, and the winner of this will be awarded a $100 gold medal. Denver fight promoters announced last week that $15, Goo was every cent they would guarantee for a Welsh White bout. And. at that, thev showed marked liberality. That Hugh Jones is anxious to dis pose of his Lincoln club, in the West ern League is indicated by- the fact that he granted an extension of Duckey Holmes's option when the latter failed to raise the necesssary kale to buy the club. Holmes now has until January 1 to raise the $13,000, which is said be the price in his option. According to re ports he has already raised about $9,000. Soccer football in the United States is beginning a growth that reminds one of the beginning of the big golf wave that started rolling over the country a few years ago. At a meet ing of the U. S. Football association, the governing body of the game in this country, held recently in Providence, R. I., a tremendous growth was re ported. In order to increase interest in the game, officials of the St. Louis Soccer league have announced that all their players will be numbered and that programs will be printed for all the league games so that every spectator may be able to follow the individual performances of the players. That blind men may find it possible to earns a living by becoming base ball pitchers does not seem as improb able as most people might imagine. Last season the St. Louis Cardinals possessed Pitcher Meadows, the only big league twirler in captivity who wears glasses. And Meadows was one of their best mound artists. And so, to carry the experiment a little further, the Cardinals have signed a youngster named Jaspar who has only one eye. Jaspar comes from the Pacific Coast league. If he prove as great a success as Meadows, it is said Miller Huggins expects to try a totally blind man in the box. To Cure the Heart. A prominent medical authority made an announcement a few weeks ago that the "athletic heart," the nemesis of track athletes, football players, oarsmen and others who in dulge in a strnuous form of sports has been conquered. If you have an enlargement of that organ, as a re sult of over-exertion, according to this authority, all you need for rem edy is a slight tapping with a ham mer, or a club upon the seventh cervical vertebra and your heart will shrink back to proper proportions at once. When the famous trainer, Lawson Robertson, was asked if he had heard of the cure, he said he had, and he is now carrying around a hammer. He said it will do some of the athletes good to tap them a bit even if the heart is not enlarged and furthermore, the pounding of the spine might put some sense into their bone heads. AI Copeland says Law son will be right at home if coaches have to use the hammer tapping treatment. Robertson's terse reply was: "Well, Copeland won't have to buy one. He's had one f. r years." NOTRE DAME ROMPED. Catholics Closed Season by Dcreatinjj Rice Institute 55 to 2. Houston, Tex., Nov. 29. Notre Dame wound up its football season Saturday by trampling the Rice insti tute team by the score of 55 to 2, in a game in which the Catholics were played almost to a standstill in the first two periods. In the last half they bore down the lighter opposition by the sheer weight jt their battering backs and forwards and the excellence of their interference running. For one period, tne second, Rica outplayed Notre Dame in all depart ments and the only score of the quar ter was a safety scored against Notre Dame when Clark tackled Cofall be hind his own goal line after he had recovered a bad pass from center. A 95-yard run from the kickoff, at the beginning of the thiid period, in which Cofall did not run through, but around the entire liice eleven, and a 4 5-yard sprint by Bergman for another touch down, were the features. Middies Back at Annapolis. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 2 9. The Navy football squad returned from New York at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. They were given a demonstrative wel come at the railroad station by the regiment of midshipmen who had ar rived a short time before. The Mid dies unhitched the horses from the buses in which the players rode and drew the vehicles to the government reservation. UGgt W&k. B eachS MewNovel You must read this new romance.

in THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING- NOVEMBER 29, TO MARKET WHEAT Kansas Growers Are Called To gether December 4. All Who Raise 100 Bushels or More Are Inyited. ESTABLISH DAILY TRADE PAPER Reliable Information and Ex pert Advice Furnished. Profitable Price for Wheat Is the General Purpose. Marketing of Kansas wheat will be put upon a new basis, if efforts of the Kansas Wheat Growers' union to es tablish local organizations in every township in the state, at a meeting called for December 4, are successful. In the state-wide call sent out, W. H. Kerr, of Great Bend, chairman of the organization committee of the union, asserted that citizens of Kansas who raise 100 bushels, or more, of wheat annually, or who derive their principal income from land farmed to wheat, are invited to become members. The general purpose of the move ment, it is stated, is to obtain for the farmers of the state a profitable price for their wheat, which, in any event. will not be lower, than the cost of pro duction. If successful, it is asserted that the organization may bring about the re-organization of Kansas agri culture. Purpose of Meeting. Other purposes stated in the call are: 1 To fix a minimum price for wheat based upon the average cost of production, estimated to be at least $1 a bushel, and to enforce it through concerted non-delivery. 2 To give the market for the first few months after harvest to those forced to sell and interest to those who store by a monthly increase In price of 2 cents a bushel, beginning with Au gust each year, thus preventing exces sive delivery at threshing time and providing for delivery throughout the year as demand requires. 3 To establish and maintain pri mary markets and sales agents through which to market our surplus wheat in the most expedient and eco nomical way. 4 To establish a daily trade paper through which reliable information and expert advice relative to the pro duction, care of and marketing of wheat can be given the producers of it, and through which official organ the members and their officers can communicate and co-operate. 6 To provide representatives when needed to protect the interests of wheat growers in congress and legis latures and before national and state commissions dealing with matters of interest to them. Obtain Co-operation. 6 To secure the co-operation of boards of agriculture, agricultural ed ucational institutions, other grain in terests and associations in Kansas, One Smashing Blow Some folks go on for years wondering why they have headaches, nervousness, heart flutter, biliousness and va rious other ailments. But they never suspect a most common cause coffee drinking. Coffee contains caffeine, a powerful habit-forming drug. The little doses repeated daily irritate the nerves, unsteady the heart, hinder digestion and work havoc gen erally with many coffee users. The simple, easy way to smash coffee troubles at one blow, is to quit the coffee and use POSTUM the pure food-drink. There's "nothing missed" with the change and thou sands have found it means a big step toward health and comfort. Postum is made of wheat and a bit of wholesome mo lasses has a rich flavour, much like mild Java coffee, yet contains no drug or other harmful element. Postum comes in two forms: The original Postum Cereal requires boiling Instant Postum is soluble a level teaspoonful in a cup of boiling water makes a delicious drink instantly. Both kinds are equally delicious, and the cost per cup is about the same. Ten days off coffee and on Postum will show M There's a sold by Grocers everywhere. Send 2c stamp for 5-cup sample. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich commercial and business men's clubs. newspapers and all others who will share in the prosperity resulting from a stable and increased price for wheat. These are to be accomplished, it is stated, by the formation of local unions of individual farmers at town ship voting places next Saturday. It is planned at these meetings delegates shall be elected to attend county meet ings to be held next Monday in every county seat in the state. Early in January, a state-wide meeting is to be held in Hutchinson, it is an nounced. KILLED BY AN AUTO Burcli loud Struck by Car While Crossing Street. Burch Doud, 59, a resident of Shorey and an employee of the Skin ner nurseries, was struck and instant ly killed by an automobile, driven by Robert Kirby of Delia, in front of the Kimball Printing Co., 912 North Kansas avenue, Saturday evening. Witnesses to the tragedy stated to the police that the death of the man was accidental. Kirby says he was not driving faster than fifteen miles an hour. Doud was crossing the street and had his head turned to keep the driving rain which, was falling from hitting him in the face. The driver of the car could not see Doud, he said, owing to the rain. Sam Martin of North Topeka was in Kirby's car at the time of the accident. Mr. Doud is survived by his wife. three sons and five daughters.

Hays, Kan., Nov. 29. Publicity and self-government are two essentials of good city administration. Homer Tal bot, head of the municipal reference bureau of the University of Kansas, and secretary of the League of Kan sas Municipalities, today told the Golden Belt conference of Sixth dis trict newspaper men. Not only is the newspaper a power in exposing unfair franchises of public service corporations, and wrongdoing of officials, but it is also or especial community service in initiating con structive movements, such as munici pal ownership of public utilities, and in supporting honest men in orrice, Mr. Talbot said. Newspapers Are Leaders. "The public is entitled to full infor mation in regard to all municipal ar- falrs," he declared. "This is necessary for the citizens, and is welcomed by the honest official. "Publicity Is a corrective of many abuses, and a preventive of many otn ers." That through modern devices of self-government the people of a com munity may retain adequate and con tinuous control or tneir local govern mental affairs, was a feature of the address. "Good government requires self- government, and independent vigilant aggressive newspapers," the speaker asserted. In a discussion of civic advance, the attention of the editors was called to two measures unanimously approved by the League of Kansas Municipali ties at its recent annual meeting one nrovtding for a wider measure of lo cal home rule, subject to the general laws of the state; and the other, for the initiative and referendum. Mr. Talbot said newspapers were taking the lead in urging the adoption of this program for direct and responsive public administration. HOW IS TIME SPENT? Kansas Board of Education Sends Queries to Teachers. The Kansas board of educational administration wants to know Just how many hours weekly instructors at the five state higher educational ln situtions devote to the work of the state. To this end, Lee Harrison, sec retary, has sent out a questionaire to the teachers. They are asked to re port on the number of hours they spend in class rooms, in seminary work and in conferences. Questions are asked, also, as to the number of hours spent weekly in research work and in grading papers, preparing ex aminations and assisting in registra tion and enrollment. Mr. Harrison announced that pre liminary "surveys made in two of the state institutions indicated that the average weekly work of a teacher oc cupied fifty-five hours. No definite figures, however, will be available, he said, until about January 1. Attempts also are being made to de termine the amount of time teachers devote to public service, outside of school work, such as attendance at conventions and speeches in various parts of the state. The state board of educational ad ministration has no authority to regu late the hours of labor, Mr. Harrison pointed out, this being a matter for the heads of the several institutions to pass upon. However, he asserted, an attempt might be made to equalize the hours if it should be found that they are not balanced properly.

FACTS BY WOMAN States She Suffered Twenty Years From Catarrh. Condition Was Such That She Became Greatly Worried. FINALLY FINDS RELIEF Gives Credit to Master Medicine Tanlac for Improvement. Declared Four Bottles of Rem edy Banished All Troubles. The greatest proof that Tanlac will give relief in cases of catarrh, comes from Mrs. E. J. Savoie, who resides at 540 Lulu street, Wichita, Kan. This is what she had to say regarding the Master Medicine. "I was troubled with a catarrhal cough for the past twenty years. I coughed up mucous matter and I usu ally went around with a dull throb bing headache. I suffered with severe pains between my eyes, and when I got up in the mornings there was a fullness of my head and I was loggy and listless generally. "I have taken four bottles of Tan lac, and the cough has about left me entirely. I don't have the pains any more, and the change in my condition is so remarkable that the neighbors have noticed it. I feel greatly indebt ed for what Tanlac has done for me, and will take advantage of every op portunity to tell any one about it that is suffering from catarrh." One of the most prevalent and dis tressing conditions is chronic catarrh of the mucous membranes, such as Mrs. Savoie suffered from. Catarrh of the stomach and kidneys is the most frequent cause of dyspepsia and Bright's disease, and catarrhal condi tions in the nose and throat lead to inevitable deafness. Frequently the lungs become diseased by way of the branchial tubes to the lung substance. Tuberculosis, or consumption, may then not be far off, and the mental and physical state of chronic catarrh sufferers is, indeed, very unfortunate. Tanlac is now on sale in Topeka at the Tully-McFarland Drug Store, where W. C. Pope, the "Tanlac Man," is meeting the public daily. Tanlac sells for $1.00 a bottle, three for $2.75 or six bottles for $5.00 Advertise ment. FEEL YOUNG! It's Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets For You! Beware of tho habit of constipation.
