Shortage of rolling stock. Hen. Fred erick Funston today said, was hinder ing rhe concentration of cavalry at the base of operations and this was one reason why a movement today was un likely. The fault, he said, lay with the railroad west of EI Paso. "We have even had to transport men in box cars," he declared. "If this had been merely an infantry expedition we would have been into Mexico on Villa's very heels.' he con tinued "But this is largely a cavalry movement and that is why there has been delay." Light was thrown on the size of the expeditionary forces by the general, who said: "When this movement is completed there will be only six or eight re mmts l?ft in the I'nited States other than those troops stationed along the border for patrol duty." There is little likelihood of militia being called on to aid the regular army unless there should be a turn :n events thai would necessitate a more importani expedition into Mexico than the punitive expedition planned. Would Call Out Entire Army. "of course." said the general, if the Carranza government were unable to control the "ituation and there should be general opposition in Mexico to the f entrance of American soldiers, the en- tire regular army would have to be employed in the movement and part of the militia, too. "Patrol duty along the border would be delegated to the militia," It was niade clear that this eventu ality fas not expected. There will be no infantry or cavalry movement from Fort Sam Houston for the present, it was announced today. The first aero squadron, Capt. j Benjamin D. Foulots commanding, went forward to El Paso this morning. The developments in the Mexican situation will not affect the citizens' training camp to be held here from June 1 J to J uly s.

The fol lowing sidelight on war was seen on a London street today. A Brit ish officer, carrying his firm in a sling, was preparing to step off a street car when a young woman, dressed in deep mourning, a baby in her arms, stepped on the plat form. The child cried "Daddy" with embarrassing enthusiasm on seeing the officer. The passen gers giggled, the officer blushed but tears rushed into the eyes of the young widow. In an instant the tragedy of war was revealed to everybody. The wounded officer drew himself up stiffly and salut ed the baby. This tribute to the dead father froze any further merriment and the incident was closed. SARGEN1 IS DEAD Well Known Topekan Stricken While Standing Near Auto.

REMOVES STUBBORN OBSTACLE Mexico Considered It I". S. Evi dence of Good Faith. Now Either Army Can C ross in Chase of Villa. Washington, March 13. The United States this afternoon ac cepted General Carranza's pro posal for a reciprocal agreement by which either his troops or American troops may pursue bandits on either side of the bor der. A note of acceptance was sent forward to General Car ranza at Queretaro. No Hostile Intentions. Army officials who studied the Car ranaa manifesto were convinced that it was not intended as a communica tion to the United States in a hostile sense. The head of the de facto gov ernment, they pointed out. was in a delicate political position, forced to satisfy conflicting elements among his own adherents in whatever course he pursues. It was admitted, however, that if Carranza enforced the senti ments expressed in his manifesto the pursuit of Villa might be hampered seriously. Wilson's Message Waits. One question confronting President Wilson is that of reaching a decision as to whether or not it would be wise to lay tho Mexican situation before congress at this time. The president himself is understood to have been in clined to do so immediately after the cabinet meeting last Friday, when it was decided to send troops in pursuit cf Villa. Some of his advisers, Jiov ever, have felt that the action might lie misconstrued in Mexico and the expedition to pursue the bandits bo magnified into the advance guard of a movement to police all northern Mexico. Great stress had been laid by all administration officials on the purely punitive character of the expe dition that is to be sent over the bor der. General Funston was assembling his forces somewhere on the border today, and three regiments of cavalry and one of infantry were rushing to his support from widely scattered points in the United States. The cavalry was ordered out at his request Saturday night, some from the Pacific coast, some from the middle west and some from the south. The infantry regi ment, the Twenty-third, now at Gal veston, has been under orders to be in readiness for several days. It will go to El Paso and then be assigned by General Funston to border duty. Fear More Bandit Raids. Secretary Baker explained the movement f the Twenty -third by saying great apprehension was felt in many border towns that the Columbus raid might be repeated. It is proposed to give General Funston ample force, both for expedition and to protect the border residents. While strictest secrecy was maintained by the war de partment as to the force General Fun ston had designated to pursue Villa, information from the border pointed to a force of cavalry, mountain artil lery' and engineers which would total between 5,000 and 6.000 men. Would Swap Privilege. Mexico City, March 13. General Carranza last night issued a declara tion that under no circumstances would Mexico grant the right to the United States to send in armed forces to capture Villa without consent an the reciprocal privilege being first ob tained. Orders were sent to the con fidential agent of the Mexican govern ment, in Washington to make immedi ate representations to this effect. The news of the attack on Colum bus by Villa and his followers was first made public here yesterday, when the official organ. El Pueblo, publish ed the text of the note of the Mexican government, asking the government at Washington to permit the passage of Mexican soldiers into American ter ritory, if such became necessary in the pursuit of Villa and at the same time granting to the United States the re ciprocal privilege of entering Mexican territory for the same purpose. The text of the note to General Car ranza will he made public later today, acmompanied by a statement which, it is understood, will set forth that the United States is not intervening in Mexican affairs but is acting to obviate the necessity of doing so. Endorse Agreement. Senator Borah, Republican, of the I foreign relations committee who has I been one of the strongest opponents of the administratino's Mexican policy. said he saw no reason why General Carranza's reciprocal proposition should not be accepted. Senator Fall. Republican, of New Mexico, although opposed to the agreement, said he j would do nothing to prevent it being I carried out or to stay the United States j army in striking against Mexican out- laws. Senator Borah gave President Wil i son's determination to send troops across the border to capture outlaws 1 his full endorsement, but declared it would be the height of folly for the congress to press preparations for war i when no one could tell what the pres- ent military action might lead to. All Central America, he said, was appre J hensive over the movement of Ameri jcan troops south of the Rio Grande. REAL PROTEST BY REEL MEN IN FILM REALM j Kansas Movie Producers Are lTp Against Censorship. Pay Fees Under Protest Then File Their Suit.

Following the state wide meet- 'increase of more than $6,300,000 over ing of the movie men in Wichita j the combined report of June 23, 1915, March 20, it is probable that suit will j the previous high record for Kansas, be filed in an effort to establish the j Roth state and national banks made unconstitutionality of the fee provision j hig gains in deposits during the six of the censorship law. Action will be taken by the movie men in accordance with the program of the oil producers. Recently the Kansas supreme court said the fee provision in the oil inspection law was unconstitutional because it produced a revenue of $120,000 a year from the inspection of 1,200,000 barrt Is of oil and gasoline. Now the movie produc ers will attack the law as a revenue measure because the state earned a profit of $11,385.29 from the inspec tion of 4.840 films. There will be no love and friendship spirit when the movie producers and the state censorship department enter the courts. If the state loses its case, the movie men will not make a con tribution to Kansas in accord with the policies of the oil men but will say things about Superintendent Ross and the Rev. Festus Foster that no newspaper will quote in full. Producers Are Holding Ont Following the plan of attack on the fee provision of the state movie cen sorship act, the producers are now withholding from Kansas some of their better feature attractions. None of the really big films are now com ing to Kansas. The really high elass attractions on the screen in this state are old productions and news has been sent to Topeka that Kansas movie fans will take such offerings as producers care tc send and may make the most of it. A number of film stars have vigorously protested against the action of Kansas censors and one report has been sent to the effect that several stars have stipulated in their contracts that their films shall not be shown in this state if deleted by censors. Kansas movie men will hold their state convention in Wichita March 2 0. At that time they will talk over the troubles that have occasioned distress and sorrow and anger. They will also take action concerning a suit to upset the present state law. Without fees, there is no money available with which to maintain the inspection de partment, unless revenues already de rived can be made available. In the oil inspection case, the department was supported by a direct legislative appropriation. The picture film de partment, though, must earn its own way. ON FOURTH WEEK Verdun Battle Centers at Yaux and Bethineourt. Germans Now Admit They Pont Hold U Vanx. BY CHARIjKS P. STKWART. London. March 13. The battle of Verdun entered its fourth week today with intense artillery battling around Forts Dou. umont and Vaux and at Bethineourt. on the left bank of the Meuse. evidently in preparation for heavy infantry fighting. The (lermans searched out the French front all day Sunday with a terrific hail of steel projectiles. The French accepted the cannonading as the forerunner of renewed attacks against Fort Vaux and positions northwest of Verdun and made ready to meet the assault. Berlin's Klrsst Admission. Dispatches from Berlin today con- j tained the first admission from Ger- man sources that the Teutons no I longer held Fort Vaux.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1916 POLITICAUOSSIP Charles F. Seott Announces Candidacy for U. S. Senator. He Will Enter the Lists Against W. H. Thompson. FIRST REPUBLICAN IN RICE He Forestalls Doth Governor Capper and Bristow. Five Congressional District Conventions Tomorrow. Block signals were set against sena torial umbitions of Joseph L. Bristow and Governor Arthur Capper when Charles F. Scott told delegates to the Allen county Republican convention that he would be a candidate for the United states senate in 1918, Scott will make the race against Beftaloi William H. Thompson, Democrat, am .has won the start in the senatorial "fffrht by making good the predictions of a year ago that he would be a can didate. Scott's announcement means the conservative elements of the Repub lican party will look neither to Bris tow nor to Governor Capper for lead ership in the senatorial fifcht two years hence. Political leaders have freely predicted that Scott; would tOfkal candidate against 'KftOmpfon. An annuuncemi thnc, however, was not expe told of his plans before I county convention when 1 county- proposed a resolut; dofB merit. To the hopeful friends a sena- 3f Mr i stow and Governor Capper the Seott can- dacy will be a severe jolt. Since was beaten for renominat ion i rharle 'urtls in 1914. Bristow ban been regarded as actively in the sena torial race at all times, on the otht hand. Governor Capper has been eh irued with the possession of an am bition to go to the United States sen ate. Should the governor decide to run, he will probably defer announce ment until late in lyiT or possibly early in ID IS. Bristow may also waive fne formality of an announcement as 'Kmg as possible in view of his position as chairman of the public utilities commission. Mere formality of a d. ed announcement is not expected to interfere with Bristow's activities. For ten years, from 1901 to 1911, Charles Hcott served as cong; ssmar. from the Second Kansas district. When he retired to private life, Seott was chairman of the house committee on kirricullure. The tola editor has for years been active in the affairs of the state, was urged for appointment as secretary of agriculture in President Taffs cabinet in 1909. and was the Kansas representative on the Belgium relief commission in 1915.

SOLDIERS MOBILIZE CODt1lulP'l from f'nge One. was that two thousand Carranza troops had gathered at Palomas, about twelv miles acress the line from Columbus, and that the conduct of these troopt was exemplar)'. These Palomas troops were part i a great ring which Carranza officers at Matamoros say they are draw about the desert and mountain refugt of Villa. The northern sector of this ring appears to be gathering in a posi tion to make it rest between Villa and the assembling American columns on the American side of the border. Reliable information came last night from American sources that the west ern side of the ring had been much strengthened, especially in the direc tion of the 500 American Mormon col onists near Casas Grandes, about 175 miles south of the border, where Vil la's maneuvers have removed the fear that he intended to attack the Mor mons. The Carranza forces have not reported any movement of their ring to draw inward to inclose Villa but have pointed out that lack of railroad facilities hampers them in more speedy acting. Reports about Villa's activity were hazy but Corral it os with in striking distance of the railroad over which the Mormons might return to the United States, remained the last point from which he had been defi nitely reported. Arrest Sympathizers. Aiding the military, other branches of the government service were active throughout the night on ramifications of Francisco Villa's trail. The drag for Villa sympathizers in El Paso last night resulted in the ar rest of four generals, one general's physician and an American. The gen erals, former Villa commanders, were Manual Medinavietia, once chief of staff; S. Julio Fabela, Samuel Rodri guez and Juan Rodriguez. The Ameri can gave his name as A. K. Talbott. The physician, Dr. Villareal, was for merly an active Villa worker. Demlng. N.

The losses of the British forces in Mesopotamia in the recent battle near Felahie are estimated by the Turkish war office as at least 5,000. The Turkish statement issued under date of March 12, follows: "The enemy's losses in the battle of Felahie, on the Mesopotamian front, are estimated as at least 5,000 "In Arabia, on the Yemen front, a British detachment of 6,000 Infantry, supported by 600 cavalry' "nd 12 cen timeter guns, started on January S from Sheihgosman. north of Aden, and occupied the town of Afisch. They attacked the Turkish vanguards with superior forces but were stopped by a Turkish counter attack from ElVahita After three hours the enemy withdrew. "Only t he protection of long range artillery averted a panic. "The enemy then tried to offer re sistance at El Emeihale, four kilo meters south of Afisch, in position when he had prepared in advance but was forced by Turkish troops to re treat into the fortified camp of Shiek uman, under the protection of the cannon of ships anchored in the Gulf of Aden. "The Turks destroyed the own nd fortifications of El Emeihale and cap tured supplies there." An official Turkish statement on Mar h 10 said t! e main British force on March 8 made an, attack from the right bank of the Tigris and after cj cupying part of the Turkish trenches was ejected and obliged to retreat, leaving 2.0ft0 dead. TOMPKINS TO FT. RILEY But Hero of Columbus Massacre Wants to Fight. Columbus, N. M., March 13. Major Frank Tompkins, who, with four skeleton troops chased Villa several miles into Mexico, is to be transferred to Fort Riley and has asked to be al lowed to go with the expedition in pur suit of Villa. In a highly commenda tory telegram, Colonel Slocum urged the war department to grant the re quest. He told how Tompkins's force broke up every formation Villa made to check the pursuit and particularly how Tompkins with 3 5 men, under Captain Rudolph Simper, out in ad vance, drove in a Mexican rear guard of more than 300 men, before Villa or dered out an overwhelming force and checked the American advance. Villa left Boca Grande ranch sdme time last night with his entire force and proceeded, according to reports received today, southward and east ward, following the course of the Boca Grande river. GOOD ACADEMY PLAY Washburn Preps Fill Chapel With "Maneuvers of Jane. "The Maneuvers of Jane," the an nual Washburn academy play was the best attended and most successful academy play the academy has given. The college and town filled the big chapel at Washburn college until it looked as though the S. R. O. sign would have to be exhibited. A fine characterization of "Jane" was given by Miss Elizabeth Fyffe. Miss Gertrude Wheeler and Miss Dor othy Crane handled their parts of English society women well. Asa Crawford drew a good share of laughs from the crowd by his representation of the conventional stage version of the English nobleman. William Es tep, who has had much experience in amateur dramatic productions han dled the leading role convincingly. The clothes worn by Miss Fyffe and the other girl members of the cast elicited a good deal of admiration from the college girls. Special cos tumes from Kansas City were obtained by Miss Fyffe.

El Paso, March 13. The horse races in Juarez had a larger crowd of Americans than usual yesterday appa rently attracted by some purse races. Mexicans, for the most part, remained silent about the American expedition ary force. Mormon Colonists Safe. The report that the peril of the Mormon colonists has decreased came from General Gabriel Gavira, Juarez commander. He asserted he consid ered the American colonists now per fectly safe, under the protection of the troops of Col. Samuel Gonzales. Gavira said he has not yet received any instructions from General Car ranza. Mexicans who talked with Villa's troops just prior to the Columbus raid say that Villa told them his next move would be against El Paso and Juarez. However, General Gavira said that General Bertani, who is try ing to head off the rebels from the north, believes Villa intends to strike down the course of the Chinipas river to get into Sinaloa, where he possibly hopes to rebuild his reputation politi cally.

The first officer of the Norwegian bark Silius is quot ed by the Paris Herald as- expressing the opinion that the vessel may have been struck by a bomb from an aero plane instead of by a torpedo, as pre viously reported. The first officer heard a noise whirl he thought was made by an aeroplane, although he could see none. Then there came a terrific explosion at about the middle of the ship on the port side. The crew cleared the Silius just as a mast fell. The men rowed around and picked up six others from the water. A French torpedo boat took all on board. The officers of the torpedo boat came to the conclusion that the Silius, on which there were seven Americans, had been struck by a tor pedo from a submarine. FOR A BETTER OAKLAND Three Real Estate Men Plan to Hold Big Sale of Vacant Lots. Charles R. Cole, B. P. Williams and P. C. Moore, real estate agents in Oak land, have hit upon a scheme to con vert Oakland vacant lots into homes, thereby increasing the population in the east side town.

Oakland property is owned and oc cupied largely by Santa Fe shopmen because of the convenience to their work and the quiet, homelike sur roundings in the east side village. Nearly everybody in Oakland raises his own garden; in fact the soil ther is especially adapted to the produc tion of garden truck and fruit. Oakland is brightening up this spring with electric lights, grading of streets and paving is in progress and with the completion of the Sixth street viaduct the car service will be im proved. No Midnight Oil in Town of Noted Bard Stratford-on-Avon, March 13.

Life Is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well.

Folks who are accustomed to feel Call and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul 1 tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, j can, instead, feci as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system I each morning and flushing out the i whole of the internal poisonous stag- nunt matter.

The ao- tion of hot water and limestone phos phate on an empty stomach is won derfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, icases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; i others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are j urged to get a quarter pound of lime- j stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- I nounced crank on the subject of in- I ternal sanitation.

The ad ministration call3 it a mere punitive expedition and a "friendly" act in aid of General Carranza. but the country should understand that the movement of troops ordered into Mexico, will, in all probability, mean the beginning of actual armed intervention for the re storation of order in Mexico. All the late news from the Mexicar. side of the border is indicative of resistance offered with the connivance of Carranza chieftains, if not at the command of Carranza. himself. Should General Carranza oppose the action of the United States, it would mean war and nothing less. And hitherto that volcanic soldier-statesman has bitterly denounced any American aggression upon his sov ereignty. At the bottom of the collective ad ministration mind is a lingering doubt whether the general will accept its action in a friendly spirit. His au thorized representative, Senor Arre dondo, who will be the ambassador from Mexico as soon as Mr. Fletcher has presented his credentials to Car ranza as our ambassador to Mexico, had his first knowledge of the expe dition from Friday's newspapers. Arredondo Silent- A well trained diplomat, he dis cussed the matter at length with Sec retary Lansing, but pleaded absolute ignorance of what view his chief might take of the matter. That view is, of course, all important. The United States government has recognized Carranza, as the govern ment of Mexico. It has served notice to the world that the somewhat shadowy administration of which he is the head is entitled to general recognition and following our lead most of the powers have extended such recognition. If we should now, despite his pro test, prosecute an armed invasion of Mexican territory, it could only be re garded by him as a hostile act and by the world at large as an act of war, however numerous the precedents that might be cited in its defense. The president is thoroughly aware of this situation and though the or ders at present issued to General Funston contemplate the movement of only a moderate force, estimated at 7,500 men, into Mexico, the secretary of war has laid before the president a statement of the available military" strength of the nation. War College Plans. The war college division of the gen eral staff has prepared a plan of cam paign not merely for the capture of Villa, but general intervention and the establishment of American authority throughout Mexico. There is general feeling it might perhaps be described as a general hope in Washington that through the action of Carranza or by natural development, the expedition will re sult in effective intervention. No one believes that the destruction of Villa will restore order in Mexico. It is not only American interests that are involved but the interests of a common humanity for which in his discussion of the submarine menace President Wilson expressed such deep concern. In parts of Mexico unravaged by Villa, the conditions of destitution, of starvation even, are such as. in the words of Senator Fall, "to make Bel gium seem like a prosperous, con tented land." Senator Borah, who has prepared resolutions for intervention which will probably be presented to the senate today, speaks of that intervention as being ordered as much in the interest of the Mexican people as in our own. Blessing to Mexico. It may be true that in intervening we shall be doing only what Villa is striving by outrage to lead us to do, but even the end attained will make for the advancement of civilisation and the good of the Mexican people. His past record justifies the ex pectation that General Carranza will take this action of the United States in no peaceful spirit. Should he pro test, the plans for the punitive ex pedition will be at once changed into more elaborate ones fitting a condi tion of actual war. At 11 o'clock this morning a dis patch was received at the governor's office announcing the death in Neo cho Falls of Col. X. S. Goss, the emi nent ornithologist and naturalist. The dispatch was from his nephew, Charles W. Waterman, and was brief, stating mereely that Colonel Goss was stricken down presumably with heart disease while walking along the street. Col onel Goss left a large estate. A bill governing primary elections passed both houses and was signed by the governor yesterday. It prescribes the conditions necessary to hold an election. It provides that at least five days before such an election shall be held notice shall be printed in newspapers of general circulation. Section five authorizes any qualified elector to challenge any one whose qualifications as an elector may be in doubt and if he refuses to take the oath his vote shall be re jected. Mayor Cofran has called a special meeting of the city council tomorrow evening to go in a body at 9 o'clock to meet the body of Col. N. S. Goss. Miss Helen Fairchild. a last year's Washburn student, was a visitor the first part of the week. General Manager A. A. Robinson, General Superintendent H. R. Nick- erson and Superintendent of Machin ery John Flayer of the Santa Fe went to St. Louis yesterday afternoon. Abe Steinberg is in Chicago pur chasing a new stock of goods. The Rev. R. Wake, agent of the new Methodist university returned from the conference yesterday afternoon. He stated that the report this morn ing that the failure of John D. Knox would kill the enterprise was with out foundation. John D. Knox will be expected to pay his subscription to the university and that will be all he has to do with it. It is expected that work will commence as soon as the weather opens up and that by next fall the main building will be ready for occu pancy. Victor Murdock, whose legislative letters to the Wichita Eagle attracted attention all over the state, left for home yesterday. Mr. Murdock made many friends while in the city. He is one of the shining lights in the Kansas newspaper world and destined to be come a greater one. It seems to be a case of Quinton versus Quinton at Mr. Urmy's primary. MAXY TAKE FRKE COURSE.

Department of Agriculture, entitled "Habit-Forming Agents," referring to caffeine and other ingredients used in the manu facture of certain soft drinks, head ache mixtures, etc., says "Until recently it was claimed by some that these agents were harmless and did not belong to the habit-forming group. Later investigations, however, clearly show that this position is unwarranted." The average cup of coffee contains about 2i grains of caffeine. Mothers give it to their children and wives give it to their husbands unconscious of the harm coffee does to health. When the nerves ery out, or indigestion, biliousness, headache or heart flutter begin to trouble, it's time to look to the cause. An easy, sure way out of coffee troubles is to quit the coffee, and use POSTUM the pure cereal food-drink. There are two forms of Postum. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled Instant Postum is quickly soluble in hot water, more convenient to prepare, and has the same rich flavour as the original Postum.

But if Carranza is so foolish as to consider the American campaign against Villa as an invasion of Mexico by the United States and should be met by all Mexicans as such, then the task that the United State has undertaken will be of considerable proportions and one that will call for A large body of volunteers.

The military' and diplomatic situa tion today is the same as that of a fjretir aso, writes Vernon Kellog in the March Atlantic. The steel ring is still Ithere, as impregnable as ever. Save -for the single hole in it, which is the 'Belgian commission's. hele and through which only commission foods jknd clothing can enter, there is no ftother break in Belgium's commercial Isolation from the world. Through this i-kolc can pass no imports of raw ma terials for Belgium's factories, nor out of it pass any product of her manu facture. Just certain fixed quantities of certain agreed-to food-stuffs and jjclothing can pass through it. This ftyas the condition when the commls xaion began Is work, this Is the condi ltton today; this will remain the con edition apparently as long as the war lasts, or the military conditions af fecting Belgium remain unchanged. Tl.me instead of bettering conditions tends to make them worse, in that fWlth time the original stocks of trad iera, the means and credit of Belgian 2m:n of wealth, the clothing and shoes fin the houses of tho people become rlised up. The Belgians, like the intrench in the north of France, ore not "Starving because the commission is bringing enough food to them to keep them alive. But that bringing must be constant, must be regular. One hundred and twer.ty-five thousand tons of foodstuffs must reach Rotter dam each month, and from Rotterdam be conveyed by canal boaa, railway wa-rons, and carts to all the thou sands of communes of Belgium and North France. Today mere than one million Belgians are on the soup and bread-lines two hundred thousand in Brussels alone. AS OTHERS SEE US. Under the caption "An Ope,n Door in Kansas," the Christian Science Mon- itor printed an editorial recently that is exceedingly complimentary to the good, old state. It follows: Women in the dark, or non-suffrage, states of the American Union who would like to vote in the next presi- dential election, and who are willing to do a little traveling, spend a little time, go to a little expense, and accept the hospitality of one of the most pro- gressive and prosperous of the sister- hood of commonwealths, may be ac- commodated by taking up a legal resi- dence in Kansas. A legal residence means residing in the state for six months before election day. It is nec- essary, as it is almost everywhere in the United States, for the Intending j voter to have resided at least thirty days in the ward or precinct in which she, or he, intends to exercise the right of franchise. In the words of our To- peKa correspondence. Anyone wno comes to the state, being, of course, a citizen of the United States, previous to May 7, picks out a domicile and an nounces This is my home,' thereby be comes a citizen of Kansas and eligible j to vote both at the primary and at the succeeding election. Certain little precautions, which must be taken anywhere, are to be at tended to, .certain little requirements are to be observed, but the woman who j goes to Kansas intending to vote, ana i to vote with perfect legality, is certain to be guided rightly by established residents. Incidentally, Kansas is a delightful state in which to spend six months or more. The intending voter need not remain continuously in any one place After a legal residence is begun one may travel about, reporting "at home" often enough to establish the fact that one has a home within the borders of the land of sunflowers, of big crops, of busy rural free delivery and of auto mobiles Excursions east, west, north and south, assuming the residence to ern markets. be near the center of the state, say Related by A.

That the Panama canal will not be swallowed up by an earthquake in the future and that the troublesome slides now being encountered will eventually be conquered and the great waterway h M ;D made an unqualified success, is tne M tJ w opinion of Donald F. MacDonald, for- meriy canai geologist ana now mining j geologist for the United States bureau of mines. Mr. MacDonald, who spent several years on the Isthmus making a careful study as to fragility of the earth's crust, has just made an offi cial report to the effect that, while through seismic disturbances the whole Isthmus is rising at the rate of three feet every hundred years, this will not necessarily injure the canaj. As far as he sees, it will merely mean a little additional expense in the dredging of the big waterway. The cause of this rising, he says, is the sinking of the ocean bottom outside the Isthmian shore waters. Every' time there is a little movement of the ocean bottom, the Isthmus, to be in harmony, joins in. He also suggests that if the rising motion be rapir then there would be serious danger for the canal, but, that from what ha. happened in recent geologic time, it may be concluded that the canal is not in, any appreciable danger from the instability of the Isthmian land. The rising of the Isthmus, however, has been responsible for the many slides that have been encountered, in that the motion of the ground has dis located and crushed the rocks, leav ing them weak and unstable. "At any rate," says Mr. MacDonald, "so far as the digging of the Culebra Cut is con cerned, these faults have increased the cost of the canal several millicn dollars. As to the slides, Culebra Cut is a vast ditch that passes through many varieties of rock in the nine miles of its length. Some of these are weak and unstable, and where the slopes of the cut were steep and 100 to 300 feet high the weaker rocks crushed down to flatter slopes. When ever the slope got flat enough, the sliding stopped. At no time did the engineering staff constructing the canal believe that the slides were a menace to the ultimate completion and successful operation of the canal in nif of tho frt fhat i I 4 4 I peacemakers are scarce. ere somewhat troublesome.

Mr. MacDonald calls attention to the fact that one is apt to forget that the greatest variation of atmospheric pressure near sea lerel may be more than four million tons per square mile and that if the ad justment of atmospheric pressure in i a very large cave or mine lags behind any quick increase in atmospheric pressure at the surface, a considerable I I strain may be added to the roof of such an excavation. Discussing the real cause of the slides, Mr. MacDon Hd declares that in many cases the immediate cause was the oversteepness and height of the slopes, the blasting and other work attributable only to man. He adds that the geologic con- ditions were not sufficiently considered i in the first plans for digging Culebra Cut. As the strength of the famous 1 Gatun dam has been brought into question on a number of occasions, j Mr. MacDonald refers to it in some length. "It was found that the Gatun rocks are relatively solid and compact and suitable for foundations for i heavy structures. However, some writers, even recently, have affirmed that the Gatun rocks would soften into mud when Gatun lake filled, and thus the locks and dam would sink their foundations and be damaged or destroyed. Opinions of this sort spring from a vivid imagination and not i from facts. If the weight of Gatun lake is going to force water into the t Gatun formation and cause it to soften into a semi-mud that will allow the i dam to sink, then all the islands in Gatun lake and all the hills around it, which are of the same formation, t should also have their bases softened the same way, and sink into the depths. Reports that the Gatun dam and locks are in any danger from sinking have not the slightest founda- Uon on g;eologic jata Journal Entries sometimes it's possible to borrow money even from a close friend.

"Do you want a story out of a book or a true story?" I sometimes ask my little nephew when he is begging nr stories And he always says, "A true story.'' 1 hope you like true stories as well as he, for I have two to tell you to day. In a department store the other afternoon an old man waited on me. In his eager haste to get me the right thing he tipped over a pile of shirt3 which a younger clerk was showing to a customer. I expected a protest and for a moment I thought it was coming. Then, "Never mind, pop," he said pleasantly, and put the shirts back in place. Later, while I waited for my change, I saw him go over and ask SK the older man "Are vou coming: la Aia you coming i.. Mondav, pop?" (He was evidently an extra clerk, hired for the sale.) "I don't know," said the older man, and therewas a world of pathos in his wistful old voice. "Well, give me your number and I'll find out for you," said the young er man. All of this happened at the end of what must have been a tremendously busy day. Every clerk in the shop had the license of strain and weari ness uo oe cross.

As I stood at that counter candy and a torn shirt wraped in a waiting for my change, I felt that quiver. The second story is about a little peddler woman. She came to sell me needles. It was a cold day, and I asked her in for a cup of tea ('tis a custom I learned from the Lady-who-always-knows-somehow, and 1 wouldn't exchange these tea parties and the heart glimpses that come to i me through them for the finest social tea parties in the world. Try it some day if you never have). At first she was shy, then the story came tumbling j out m oroken .English (she was a young Jewish woman). Her husband was a tailor, and everything was well with them until he got blood poisoning from a finger prick. He had been at the hospital for eight or nine weeks; they thought they could save his arm and that he would be able to work in a few weeks more, but in the meantime their little savings were all used up. The Sun day before she had had no food but stale bread in the house for herself and two babies. Her neighbor (her name was Mrs. O'Something, plainly not Jewish) had come in and asked the little boy why he was eating stale bread, and after the fashion of youth he blurted out that it was because his mamma said she had nothing else to give him. At that Mrs. O'Something had taken the little peddler lady in her arms and cried, and then had gone home and brought her potatoes and butter and tea and milk and a lot more things.

We have, all sorts of wonderful things planned for the summer; besides, Dick's cousin is coming for a month or so -you know, the one I've told you about the traveler who has been everything from a Japanese consul to a Peruvian treasure hunter, to say nothing of big game everywhere you can think of. Naturally he has money, so here's your chance, my poor, big independent sister. Get your little rich charges off for the seashore, if you must, but don't lose another sec ond. And mind you don't call me names when you read this, for both Ijick and I are concerned about your future and are determined to see you comfortably settled.

QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Don't strike a man when he is down. Even an idea seldom does that. You never can tell. The lightest literature may have the heaviest sale. The great trouble with glittering generalities is that they so soon tar nish. Every cloud has a silver lining. Even failure doesn't have to respond to an encore. The fact that virtue is its own re ward doesn't influence a man to be a good thing. It is sometimes difficult to distin guish between genius and well adver tised egotism. Even the man who is his own worst enemy may loathe the man who is his own best friend. A male flirt is a fellow who always j carries a few engagement rings in his pocket for emergency.

All housekeepers should keep a bottle of liquid ammonia. A few drops of ammonia in water will take off grease from dishes, pans, etc., and does not injure the hands. A spoon ful in a quart of warm water for cleaning paint makes the paint look like new. And it is so with everything that needs cleaning. Spots on towels and hosiery will disappear with little trouble if a little ammonia is put into enough water to soak the articles and they are left in It an hour or two before washing. If a cupful is put into the water in which the clothes are soaked the night be fore washing the ease with which the articles can be washed and their whiteness and clearness when dried will be gratifying. A few drops of ammonia in a little water will brighten colors in a carpet when wiped over with a dampened cloth or sponge. For cleaning hair brushes put a tabiespoonf ul into the water, having it tepid, and dip the brushes up and down until clean, then dry with the bristles down. They will be like new ones.

But only being a waterdrop. I cannot even see yonder shore, so near. Oh, yes, a waterdrop's life is very stupid." "So you think you would be happier 1 if you could see the shore?" asked Mr. Nbrth Wind, because he wanted to be sure he was pleasng the waterdrop before he made any suggestions. J "Yes! les!

Most Desperate Struggle of Verdun Conquest. MEN FOUR DEEP" MOWED DOWN Nothing lut Dead Bodies After Terrific Charge. Prussians Advanced Five Times Into Curtain Fire. 1'aris, March 13. The German losses in the fighting around Fort Vaux last Friday and Saturday sur pass ajl previous records in this war, according to officers who have re turned from Verdun. Time and time again and with extraordinary courage, the Germans In columns four deep rushed from their trenches only to melt away under the fire of the French 75. 1 50 and 2 1 0 millimetre guns which rained shells with deadly accuracy into the marching com panies. v h-n the smoKe ana uust cleared nothing was to be seen but heaps of bodies. The spur on which the fort is sit uated is almost perpendicular in places. The German lines were forced to halt, but many Bavarians climbed ut) on one another s shoulder and struggled up the elope, clinging to angles of rock and grasping tuffs of grass. Again and again tnese numan i nvramids collapsed into shapeless gray i masses. In the places where the incline HU easier and the attacks therefore more concentrated the ditches below ran red with blood. At the lowest esti mate the attackers lost two-thirds of their effectives. French Outnumbered, 6 to 1, The fighting also was desperate when the remnants of the fifteenth and eighteenth army corps attacked the village of aux on Friday, Dawn was just breaking and over the coun try hung a heavy white mist, making everything invisible beyond a hun dred yards. This enabled the Ger mans to get within rushing distance of the French trenches, but although they outnumbered the French six to one it took six distinct assaults before Germans won the shelter of a small group of houses beyond the church of Vaux. They then organized an as sault on the church and the French being unable to bring up reinforce ments on account of the German curtain of fire, withdrew their ad vanced elements which were in dan ger of being surrounded. Five times the north Prussian regiments rushed to attack the church but every time they gained the shelter of the road houses they were beaten back by the fire of machine guns and shrapnel of French 58 millimetre mountain guns. In the meantime in the rear a cur tain of fire was kept up by the French 75's and 210s so that it was impos sible, for munitions and reinforcements to be brought up for their benefit and the fight died down on Friday night from sheer exhaustion.

There has been no infantry fighting last night in the region to the north of Verdun accord ing to the announcement made by the French war olfice this afternoon. There has been however, a contin uance of the artillery activity along all this front. The text of the announcement fol lows: "There was no infantry fighting last night in the region to the north of Ver dun. The bombardment continued however, during the night at Beth incourt and in the vicinity of Douau mont as well as in the Woe v re, in the sectors of Moulalnville and 1-ton vaux.

"During a night fight a group of French aviators threw down thirty shells of large calibre at the railroad station of Conflans. Flames were seen breaking out at five different points. In spite of a violent cannonade all the French aeroplanes succeeded in get ting back without suffering damage." FEAR, ANGER, WORRY Produce Poison In Body Sot Cured by Drugs. In a lecture at the high school audi torium Sunday, George Shaw Cook, C. S. B., member of the board of lec tureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass., said there were certain bodily ills, or manifesta tions of the maladies of the flesh that are not curable by medicines. He said in part: "Human emotions, such as fear, anger, worry, hatred, etc., are now said to produce poisonous conditions on or in the physical body. If this is so may not many cases of chronic poisoning in the human system be traceable to a chronic disposition to give way to the emotions? Is it not as reasonable to admit this as to recognize the fact that acute fear im mediately manifest itself in a blanch ed face? If one is obliged to admit the mental cause of some kinds of physical disease, why not agree with Christian Science that, primarily, all disease is due to a mental cause? This does not mean that all disease is the result of conscious fear or of willful sin. "Many types of disease are effects of latent fear, hereditary tempera ment, superstition, ignorance, or some of the generally accepted beliefs of the human mind which seem to operate as law. Suppose a man to be sick from one or more of these mental causes. Will drugs cure him? Is there any antitoxin that will destroy hatred, or any serum that will preyen fear? Nothing but the knowledge that God is Love and that man as the im age of God is in reality nothing less than the expression of Love, and therefore cannot and does not fear or hate, will effect a permanent cure in such a case. "All that is real exists as the effect of an intelligent cause, divine Mind. One has only to look at a badly fright ened person to see that he manifests little or no intelligence while under the sway of fear. Therefore, we may conclude that fear is not the manifes tation of an intelligent cause. It is plain that if one could be free from fear it would be greatly to his ad vantage. Many are ready to point out the evil effects of fear. They are. ever quite ready to urge their friends not to be afraid, but they are not always able to tell them why they have no need to fear. "Christian Scientists having dis cerned the fact that fear is not an at tribute of God, are beginning to un- derstand why it is no part of man, i who is in the likeness of God. They reason that God is the only cause and is good. Fear is not good. Therefore, j it is not the effect of the one only cause and consequently is without ac tual existence- There is no fear in the I universe of God and nothing in that universe of which man could be I afraid. There is no good in fear, for I 'fear hath torment,' hence there is j no God in it, and no truth to it. Chris tian Scientists do not, however, claim to have demonstrated as yet that they j are entirely immune from fear; but they are much less fearful than for- merly, and consequently, much less subject to disease and disaster. "Christian Science teaches its ad- herents to 'pray without ceasing,' and constantly to seek a higher and better I understanding of the true nature of God, and of man as His likeness. Furthermore, it requires the demon I stration of this understanding in right thinking and right living. Such thinking results in the lessening of sin and disease. "Those who are familiar with the i true nature of Christian Science know that it is quite unlike every form of i mesmerism. It even differs from what I is ordinarily referred to as 'faith cure.' "The prayer or treatment of the Christian Scientist is based upon his I spiritual discernment of the fact that i there is but one Mind. The mes merist's endeavors are based upon the belief that there are minds many and that one of these many minds can in i fluence another for good or evil. Herein lies the danger of mesmer ism or mental suggestion; whereas the safety of Christian Science prac tice consists in its entire dependence upon the power of one infinite Mind, the effect of which can be only good. "Mrs. Eddy has been declared by the governor of her native state to have j been New Hampshire's greatest worn an, and truly she may be so regarded by reason of her achievements. But of all her wonderful works, that for which Christian Scientists revere and j love her most is her discovery, and declaration, and demonstration of the life-giving truth that God is good. Therefore they say to you, 'Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace'." (Job xxii. 21). Will Open Missouri Convention. Jefferson City, March 13. A.

AS MAN TO MAN Santa Fe Officials Will Talk Over the Labor Situation With the Road's Employees at the Auditorium. To explain the issues that are in volved in the eight hour day demand ed by enginemen and trainmen of all railroads, a meeting of all Santa Fe em ployees has been called for Friday afternoon in the Auditorium. The meeting will be held at the close of a shortened workday. C. W. Kouns. general manager of the eastern lines, E. L. Copeland, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Fe; J. W. Gibbons, foreman of locomotive painters and James Alullin. foreman of boilermakers, will present the railroad's case to the employees. M. J. Drury, super intendent of the local shops, will pre side at the meeting. Officials of the road expect the largest number of rail way employees ever assembled at a single meeting to turn out Friday. Last month, 4,774 men and women were on the Santa Fe payroll in To peka. Onlv 18 uer cent of the road's em ployees are makins the demands that will increase their pay roll 25 per cent. General Manager Kouns says. The enginemen and trainmen threaten to strike in the event their demands are refused and the auditorium meeting will be held to explain to employees that represent the other 8 2 per cent of the road's employees where respon sibility for a strike would rest. "We are interested in tne wenare ui our employees, who generally have been loyal to the company," says Mr. Kouns. "We want our employees to understand the important question confronting us and that is the purpose of the meeting Friday." Invitations to attend the meeting will be sent to various prominent To pekans, it was decided this morning by several officials who met in Gen eral Manager Kouns' office to discuss arrangements for the auditorium ses sion. Among those who are to be in vited are: Mayor J. E. House, Frank P. MacLennan, publisher of the State Journal; Harold T. Chase, editor of the Topeka Daily Capital; W. W. Webb, president of the Commercial club; J. Will Kelley, secretary and the board of directors of the club, a number of Kotarians and members of other civic organizations. The demands of the men, if they are carried to a point where a strike will result, are of interest to every town that is reached by a railway and it is for that reason that invitations to at tend the meeting will be extended to those outside the railway service. The apprentice band will offer a concert while the crowd is assembling. LINCOLN FUND LECTURE Second of Series by Professor Griffith Wednesday. The second of the lectures for the benefit cf the "Lincoln Statue Me morial Fund" will take place Wednes day evening when Prof. A. A. Griffith, dean of the art department of the Uni versity of Kansas, will give a lecture on "Epoch Making Pictures." The lecture will be given in the high school auditorium and will be illus trated by stereopticon slides. Prof. Griffith is well known in To peka and over the state as an interest ing talker on art subjects. He has brought many fine exhibitions of pic tures to the state and is largely re sponsible for the increasing interest in art in the public schools. His lec ture will be illustrated by colored slides of several of the masterpieces. The first lecture of the series was given by Clement Smith, of Topeka, who is an expert in color photography. The third lecture has not been an- nnun r-fd vpt huf Afrs. TCa.t rtfrirm Hflnii chairman of the art department of the City Federation of Women, is arrang- ing for these lectures and is planning to keep them all up to the standard I maintained by the first two numbers.

Brayn in Kansas City between trains for a brief period today reaffirmed his endorsement of the Mexican action of the president. Mr. Bryan said: "I believe the position taken by Mr. Wilson is n proper one in the punishing- of those guilty of attack on our border cities with the understanding that it is not intended as invasion or Intervention. The act of an outlaw cannot commit his country. We would not be justified in waging war on a government because of outrages com mitted by those in insurrection against that government. But as the Carranza government is not able to protect the American border, the president i justified in taking steps to safeguard our border cities." In speaking off the armed ship con troversy, Mr. Bryan declared he was unchanged' in hi position in favor of keeping Americans off armed ships. 'There is the same reason for keep ing people out of the danger zone, that there is for keeping people off the streets in time of riots."

The Chicago White Sox baseball squad, en route to t'neir training camp ;it Mineral Wells, Texas, stoppea in Topeka. Jong enough today to hold their first work out of the season at the Kock Island depot, the cindered tracking and the top of their de luxe train being used for a park while the movie men worked their cameras and j several hundred Topeka fans gave the I squad the once over. I "Topeka furnished the first weath j er that would permit the men to get i into uniforms," President Comiskey said, "and we decided to take advan tage of it, both to give the fellows a I chant e to supple up and also to give J the pitcure men a run of pictures." Hero at I O'clock. The Sox special pulled into the Kock Island station about 1 o'clock, !just behind the Golden State Limited, and as the players began to appear on the platforms of the coaches several hundred fans gathered about the train. I As soon as all the players were dressed they climbed upon top of the coaches I to "play ball" while the train was i pulling out from the station. After the train had run out of the picture it i was backed up to the station again and the players and crowd were lined up lor a group picture. Then the train again moved out with the camera men aboard and the players were compelled to run behind for a distance of several hundred yard. Twenty-four in Squad. There were twenty-four players on the train, including Manager Row land, Ed Walsh, Ray Schalk, Collins, Murphy, Weaver, Wolfgang and most of the Old Roman's stars. All of the players will return here on April 5 and 6 when the first and second squads will play exhibition games with the Savages. Among the more active of the play ers in the work out here were Ray Schalk. the great pigmy catcher and Buck Weaver. They were the first players off the train and they were tossing the ball as they alighted. Ed Walsh performed on the first coach behind the engine, along with laddie Collins, and these two were center of attraction among the spectators. Also, there were many in the crowd who recognized Buck Weaver and Wolf gang. While the train was in Topeka, President Comiskey received visitors in the observation car, and appeared to be in the best of spirits. "You bet we are out to win the pen nant this season." he said, "and I think we have a mighty good chance to do it." When asked regarding the outlook for baseball in general he said that he thought it brighter than in years and that all leagues, both major and minor, would have a big season. Rig Year Tor Minors. "The minor leagues especially should have a great year," the Old Roman said, "and your Western league especially thould come through with flying colors." Mr. Comiskey asked particularly about John Savage, owner of the To peka team, and complimented him in the highest terms, saying that he con sidered him one of the best men in minor league baseball. "A mighty fine man, and one who knows the game," was the way he expressed it. Mr. Comiskey said he was anxious to go to St. Marys, the place where he went to school whe.i a boy, and that he intends to make the trip with the team when it goes there next month. He said he had not been back to the old school since 1872. HE DODGED OFFICERS Negro Thought to Have Ducked Sewer Climbed Over Dike.

Dana of the first di vision of the district court of Shaw nee county sustained a motion to quash, filed by the city of Topeka in the mandamus action brought a week ago by the Cleveland-Trinidad Paving company. Following this action the city ct mmission may proceed with the letting of the contract for the asphalt pavement to be laid in Topeka this year. Also, under this action, the commission is not required to open nor consider the bid offered by the Cleveland company on asphalt pav ing. When the city commission adver tised for bids on asphalt paving the Teveland-Trinidad company put in a bid along with half a dozen other companies. On motion of Commis sioner W. G. Tandy, the commission declined to open the bid. The reason given by Mr. Tandy was that the city had had litigation with the Cleveland company and that he did not care to deal with it. The lowest bid was put in by the Security Paving company of Kansas City. T. F. Garver, attorney representing the Cleveland company, protested against the action of the commision and state that its bid was second only to that of the Security company. The comm.ssion paid no attention to the protest. Mr. Garver then started man damus proceedings in the district court to compel the city commission to open and consider the bid and to enjoin it from letting the contract to any bidder whose figures were higher than those of the Cleveland company. The city commission did not let the contract at its next following meeting, but neither did it open the bid of the Cleveland company. George P. Hay den, city attorney, filed a motion in the district court asking that the ac tion of the Cleveland company be quashed and that was the motion ar gued and decided today. HIS HARD LUCK STORY Innocent Man Engaged Rooms Where Keg Party Was Raided. Two keg parties were disturbed by tire police Saturday night.

At the first named place the crowd was not only drinking but had started a lively crap game. In connection with the raid on 930 Monroe street, Ray Bartlett had a hard luck story to tell. He has been living south of the Country club and running a bakery business in town. Saturday he engaged rooms at the Monroe street address and moved his household goods in. Mrs. Bartlett stayed with friends and Bartlett went to a picture show. When he went to his new home he found it in posses sion of the fifteen men. Going out. he met the police coming in and he had to explain. In the Monroe street raid all the fifteen were taken to the station and booked on the charge of gambling.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real ize that children should be dosed as little as possible. Still croup and cold troubles require some form of treat ment they must not be neglected. In th9 South in place of internal medF l ines. Vick a Vap-O-Rub Salvp is univer sally used for all forms of cold troubles from head colds, asthma and catarrh, down to deep cheat colds, sore throat, bronchitis or incipient pneumonia. Last winter, when Vap-O-Rub was in troduced in Kansas for the first time, the ladies, whose names we give be low, were presented by their druggists with complimentary Jars, with the re quest that they give this preparation a thorough trial and report the result. Mrs. J. M. Magill. 714 S. 3th St, Atchison. Kaa.. reports "I have used Vaa-O-Rub in cases of colds and croup, and consider it the best remedy for these purposes that I have ever used." Mrs. M. T Bailey. 835 Georria Ave.. Kansas City. Kaa.. writes "My chil dren had a cold that it seemed to me I could not reach. But when I nibbed them the first night with Vap-O-Rub it gave them great relief. I And that Vap-O-Rub win do n that tt is recommended for I cannot say eBougir in praised Of It" Mrs. Lena Kneip, 541 Perry St.. Lawrence, Kaa.. reports "Last winter my four children, aged from two to eleven years, were sick nearly all win ter with bad colds, and I had the greatest trouble keeping them from having pneumonia. I had the doc tor several times, and sept onion poul tices on the two youngest for a week once. When I first tried Vick's Vap-O-Rub my faith in it was weak, but it didn t take long for me to think differently, as it relieved them soon. I just rubbed it on their chest3 and be tween their shoulder blades, then cov ered with a warm flannel cloth, and they would go to sleep and sleep well. Vap-O-Rub is the best thing for quick relief I have ever used." Vap-O-Rub cornea in salve form, and when applied over the throat and chest the body heat releases the in gredients in the form of vapors. These vapors carry the medication, with each breath, all night long through the air passages to the lungs. In addition. Vap-O-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, acting like a poul tice or a plaster, taking out the tight ness and soreness. Three sizes, 25c, 50c or $1.00. A trial package free on request.

SIS Fillmore street www The Topeka Musical Art society will have a rehearsal tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the First Baptist church, www Along near the first of March you I know how you set a vaue feeling that y-;ur furniture isn't vorth a nickel? There is one lone instance when the implacable assessor agreed with the housewife on that very point. Friend Housewife has a really remarkable collection of costly Oriental rugs. The I rugs are rather small and are taste- j fully distributed about her highly polished floor. Our common enemy, the assessor, called and began the usual questioning about furniture. He ran down the list till he came to "rugs, carpets, etc." The woman told him that she did not have carpets in her house. He gave a searching look around, peered over his spectacles into all the rooms open to his vision. "Ah. hem a are these little mats all you have?" And the figure he put down, as their value was entirely satisfactory j to the owner of the said little mats. Mrs. X. B. L'rie will entertain the members of the Wednesday auction bridge club Wednesday afternoon at her home, 15 la West Sixth avenue. A group of school girls in the upper grades formed the habit of going off i every evening to the movies, un-1 chaperoned, and lighting 'hap-hazzard on any show that happened to be on the screens. They had been to see the story developed from Kipling's famous poem about "a rag, a bone and a hank j of hair." By-and-by the mothers of j the girls objected to their nightly trips down town. Two of the girls threat ened to run away from home rather than submit to such tyranny. "And what will you do when you get away from home?" one of the small girls was asked. "I shall be a moving pic ture actress," she lisped. "And I." said the other thoughtful ly, "I shail prepare to be a vampire."

Hon me n announced this mornir.g homa. New Mexico. Iowa and Texas. BY BOB FITZSIMMONS. Boston, Mass.. March 13. I fail to see where Frank Moran has any chance with Jess Willard. The latter is too big for a man of the Moran type of fighter to con quer. Willard is a good puncher, and has demonstrated that he can knock out any of the present white hopes if he so desires. Willard is without doubt the best white Leavyweight of the day. He is bigger, stronger, has more knowledge of the game and can assimilate more punishment than any of the present crop who a re masquerading as near champions. Even with all that to the present champion's credit, he is a poor speci men of ;he championship caliber of bygone days. Willard with his great reach, his 240 pounds of weight, which gives him a natural advantage over all the present heavies, would look like a novice against the fighters who reigned in my time. Corbctt Was Better. Corbett would have taken big Jess into camp in about four rounds. Jim would delight to enter a ring with a man of the Willard fashion and play with him for three or four rounds and then ask him where he wanted to drop. Willard would not be able to puL a glove on Corbett. Jeffries, in my opinion, would have had little trouble in stopping Jess. Jim was the most dangerous man that ever pulled on a glove. Of course, poor old Jim would have been easy prey even for a man like Willard at the time he was knocked out by Johnson in Reno. From what I learned from several parties con nected with Jeff's camp, poor old Jim did not know whether he was fight ing or playing the piano that day. Neither Frank Moran nor Willard have a look-in when it comes to sum ming up the make of the old timers. They do not possess the science; neither do they know how to deliver a punch. I have watched Willard train and he surprised me when he went through the various stunts with his wonderful strength, but he fails to use his great asset when it comes to boxing. Jews Lacks Science. Willard has never been taught how to punch and get away. When he starts a punch he always goes through with it, even if his better judgment tells him to draw back. Instead of shooting the punch from the shoulder, as Jackson or Corbett would do, Wil lard often pulls his right hand waist high and then starts to deliver. I witnessed the Gunboat Smith-Jess Willard fight in the west a few years ago. It was the first time I ever saw Willard fight. At that time I didn't believe he would ever rise to the top, because he lacked the knowledge of the game. Smith hit him at will. Jess took every punch with a smile, and when the fight was over he looked just as fresh as when it started, with the ex ception of his left eye. Willard can handle so much pun ishment that I can hardly see where Moran has a chance. 1 VLfi Sport Wheezes ill BY CLUG ill J Ad Brennan. Ad Brennan, the hijh salaried southpaw of the revised Cubs' team, will perform for the benefit of the St. Paul fans this summer, providing Mike Kelley, the manager of the Saints, thinks Ad has enough stuff to entertain the fans of that city. 1 Manager Tinker says Brennan isn't good enough for fast company this year, but may develop by 1917.

Evidently those who have arranged j Washburn's football schedule for next season have similar ideas to those of old Julius. They would rather de- j feat weak teams than to make a I creditable showing against the big I elevens. However, there is this much to be j said in favor of the Ichabod schedule f or the coming season the only way it j could have been made easier would j have been to substitute high school i teams for K. U., the Aggies and the j Emporia Normals. A Wichita paper claims to have 1 discovered that the batting strength i of the Savages this season will he, "in j j the aggregate." something like .225. And so it may be, in the aggregate. j But who cares anything about the j I aggregate so long as there are Tyde- j man, Lattimore, Trainer, Grover, j Wiedell and a few more who can hit i .300 or better and who will drive in j I the runs? According to the opinion of almost everybody except Walter Camp, Guy i Chamberlain, of the University of Xe j braska, is considered one of the best football players the west ever pro i duced. But even in Lincoln, the town that loves him most, nobody seems to think Chamberlain is a very big gup as a baseball pitcher. j If Willard wins his fight with Moran there will be few left to ac- j cuse him of not being a real scrapper. But if he should lose, the sooner he buys his Kansas ranch the better for i him. Among the important sport events j that are expected to happen to Topeka I this week may be mentioned the ar j rival of Manager Lattimore, a visit from President Zehrung, of the West- ern league, and the wrestling match at the Grand Friday night. Practically all the plans have been made for the Doctor-Billings match, it is announced. The girls will be on hand in full force, and reports from both grapplers are to the effect that they are in the pink of condition. While the general impression among local mat fans seems to be that Doctor will retain his title as welterweight champion, those who know him assert that Billings is a good man and that he will put up a scrap which should be worth watch ing. So far. the resignation of "Doc" White, Denver Western league man ager, appears to have been as sudden as was that of Jack Coffey last fall. White also quit for "personal rea sons," as did Coffey, but the personal reasons undoubtedly are of a differ ent nature. r PUREES PURE DISTILLED WATER 5-gallon bottle and cooler for the office. 2-gallon bottle and cooler for the home. 4 -gallon bottle.

Vrtc Arid in and imat excites Kidneys Irritates tlie Bladder. Take Salts at first sljrn of Bladder weakness or Kidney-ltaekarh'. Kidney and Bladder weakness re sult from uric acid, says a noted au thority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to ir ritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an ir ritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. Tl.e sufferer is in constant dread, tl.e water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; aain there is dif ficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablesjpoonful in a glass of water bpfore breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so It no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad ffects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink which quickly rellenM bladder trouble. Advertisement.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1916 SPOKE TOROTARY If. Roy B. Guild in Stirring Sunday Sermon. Popular Minister to Washburn Students Today. "Church and state may be separate-, ih machinery but they are never sep arated In influence and never should be," Dr. Roy Guild told the assembled Jiotarians at the Baptist church last tflght. "It is up to the United Churches to Ret behind the good work that the cities do and only the churches united can accomplish it Tn Pittsburg the organization of the United Churches sees that every voter registers and that every voter under stands the issues of the campaign. They also see that every voter votes. But they stop there." Concrete civic problems which must be solved by the United Churches rfthe were pointed out by Dr. Guild. Tfr there anv way that the churches of Topeka link themselves up with the juvenile court work?" he said. "Do they in any way try to lay hold of tht juvenile court boy?" He described tht work of churches in St. Louis which maintain a special probation officer to eslaim and Interest the boy offenders rn the church. The church co-operation movement was compared to the organization of the Rotary- club. "The Rotary club does not expect its bankers to become newspaper men." he said, "or its mer chants to become writers. It recog nizes the value of having different per sonalities and different capabilities in Its members. The United Churches are not trying to consolidate the churches. They do not wish all the Congregationalists, the Presbyterians or Romanists to become Baptists. It wishes to preserve the spirit and in fllviduallty of each faith. When I was asked to Join the Rotary club I was not asked what I would give up. I was asked what 1 would give. It is the same way with the United Churches; they do not ask you to give IP anything. But they ask you to givK your best to the big community prob lems to be solved." The Uotarian Symbol. He compared the Federation move ment to the Rotarian symbol, the wheel. The rim of the wheel repre sents the churches, the hub heaven, the spokes the roads to heaven. "The nearer to heaven the roads come the closer they converge until at last they are completely submerged in one." "It is the laymen who must get be- hind these big community problems," declared Guild, preachers may come, and preachers may go, but the lay men remain forever." "I am sorry' to see that Topeka has not yet a community farm," said Dr. Guild. "I believe that it is the final solution of the great social problem facing the communities of today." He cited Duluth as a fine example of the work of the community farm. "The real work of the church today is the community problems. The test of the value of every church in the future will be the interest which that church takes in the welfare of the commu nity." Preceding the sermon Dr. Guild of fered a prayer for John Sargent, the prominent Rotarian, who died Sunday. During the prayer all Rotarians in the audience were asked to stand. Dr. Guild addressed the Washburn students at noon today. He left late this afternoon for Lincoln, Nebraska, where he will speak for the United church movement. MOVIES FOR SCHOOLS Kansas Industries Are Asked to Aid In Their Production. A campaign has been inaugurated ly the state board of administration to interest some of the larger indus tries In Kansas in the production of motion picture films showing Kansas Jn its true, economic status, Lee Har rison, secretary of the board, an nounced today. It is planned to send these films to the schools in Kansas to be used In the work of visual edu cation. Many schools have motion picture machines, it was pointed out, and the board members plan to es tablish a circuit so that the educa tional films may be sent over the en tire state and into other states. "Few people have ever seen 'strip coal mining and few know that larger steam shovels are at work in Kansas in mining coal than any used In dig ging the Panama canal," Mr. Harrl doa po rated out. "Our dairy indus try, wheat farming, salt works, gas actd oil fields, packing plants, cement works, tile factories, lead and zinc mines, smelters, corn fields, alfalfa farms, stock farms and many others furnish material for film subjects that rni pnt Kansas 'on the map in much truer style than the films sold to schools by one big concern which hows a round-up on a cattle ranch where the cowboys are dressed in leather snaps and wear broad-brim-med hats."
