Adriatic Crosses Safely. New York, Feb. 14. The White Ptar liner Adriatic, which carried four-ty-four passengers, including one American, arrived in Liverpool Mon day morning with "all well," said a cable to the local offices today. y The Adriatic is the largest ship of the line now in service between New York and Liverpool. She arrived ap proximately on scheduled time. The fact that she carried a large consignment of munitions had caused great anxiety, in shipping circles for her safety. The American on board was G. W. Uriger of Kan Francisco. The French liner Kochambeau and the Cunarder Carmania, which left here February 4, are in the danger zone or have already arrived and have not yet been reported. The Rocham beau. bound for Bordeaux, carried twenty-two Americans and munitions. The Carmania carried munitions and grat supplies of foodstuffs. The Adriatic's caigo was valued at several million dollars. The vessel sailed February 3 and was armed with a six-inch naval gun. His Cunarder Crosses. New York, Feb. 14.

The Holland America liner Ryndam. which sailed January 29 for Holland, is back at her pier in Hoboken today. She reached port last night after having been ordered back by wireles when she reached the danger waters as out lined in the German submarine war. The Ryndam had 250 passengers aboard who had not been in sight of lund for fifteen days and who traveled more than 6.000 miles without reach ing their destinations. live Hays to Make I'p His Mind. Two days after the Ryndam left here on January ;9 with twenty Americans among her passengers, tame the wireless from Arlington. Nevertheless, the vessel continued un til on February 5 she was within 140 miles of the submarine zone. Then Capt. William Kohl decided to turn back. "There was only one thing for a responsible man to do," he said, "and that was to take every precaution to save the lives and property entrusted to his care." He denied that he had received a wirless warning from a German sub marine to turn back. Sail at Ouee on Freilerik VIII.

ENTIRE NATION BLOCKADED AS WILSON WAITS Withholds Permission for Navy to Arm Merchantmen, 3Ia'y Go Before Congress for Additional Authority. RUMOR SPLIT IN GABINET Difference of Opinion on Arm ing Ships Among Officials. Disastrous Effect on Internal and Export Shipping. Washington. Feb. 14. President Wilson is expected now to defer a de cision on the question of furnishing guns to American merchant ships un til he decides whether to go ueiore congress and ask for additional au thority for the protection of American ships and lives. It was indicated in authoritative circles today that there had been no change in the policy of the' govern ment up to the present time and that none is in immediate prospect. The accumulation of incidents in volving violations of American rights since the diplomatic break with Ger many is generally believad by admin istration to be hastening the ap proach of the hour when the presi dent again will be before congress. The re-detention of the seventy-two Americans brought in on the prize ship Yarrowdale is regarded as an other acute indication of Germany's disregard of American rights. Renew Protest Over Captives. If, in fact, a vigorous protest has not already gone forward it will be sent in the near future, unless Ger many promptly releases the men. A definite sentiment gained ground in administration quarters today that an accumulation of acts indicating a dis regard for American rights will have as much to do with shaping the policy of the United States as any overt act that may be committed against Amer ican ships. While it was indicated at the state department that there can be no legal objection to the govern ment furnishing guns to American ships. President Wilson is s.id to be disinclined to take any step that might give Germany the slightest ground for throwing responsibility for anjr future trouble upon the United State. This as-the government's attitrtdqi. loiay;T altho it was admitted that thfere al ways was. possibility of changes ac cording to circumstances. Nation Is IJlockaded. Reports of the piling up of freight destined to Europe, the temporary shutting down of grain elevators and the other evidences of the effect of the new submarine campaign on neu tral commerce are regarded as part of the accumulation of aggravations which are expected to lead to action. So far the government has received nothing official to indicate any change of submarine policy by Germany and can only believe that American lives or ships may be sacrificed at any mo ment. Vigorous denials were made today to reports of a split in the cabinet over the question of furnishing guns to American ships. Naturaliy, it was said, there may be differences of judg ment, but it was declared that the members of the cabinet will stand solidly behind the president in any decision he may make. TIEUP COMPLETE Acres of Idle Cars in Eastern Railroad Yards. Variety of Supplies Tiled High on X. Y Piers. New York, Feb. 14. One of the most serious freight tie ups in the history of the country prevailed to day on all railroads normally carry ing foodstuffs and other commodities between the east and west. Ralroad men characterized the sit uation as extremely critical. Thou sands of freight cars are held on sid ings, some of them loaded, but their movement is practically impossible owing to the congestion on the Atlan tic seaboard brought about by the German submarine order. With the number of ships leaving New Y'ork for Europe reduced, fol lowing announcement of the subma rine blockade, freight has kept piling in from the west during the past week. Munitions, automobiles, foodstuffs, supplies of every kind are piled high on New Y'ork docks. Acres of freight cars stand in yards waiting to be un loaded, but with slight chance of their contents being removed because of lack of bottoms in which to ship the goods across the Atlantic. Embargoes on Shipping. The Delaware Lackawanna rail road today announced an embargo on all freight west of Bufaflo. This clos ed the last road open to that section. The Pennsylvania and New York Cen tral have had embargoes on business west of Buffalo and Pittsburg for sev eral weeks. At the offices of both lines, if was said there was no indi cation of the ban geing lifted. Railroads west of Pittsburg and Buffalo, unable to get shipments east owing to lack of cars, have put a ban upon accepting westbound goods. This has in turn tied up eastern lines, with the result that shipping is all but par alyzed. It was estimated today that there is more than a million tons of steel piled on various piers about New York harbor awaiting export. In the meantime steel mills are constantly pouring out more of the product or dered by the allies, but with slight chance of it being moved. Unless more Ships brave the submarine hlnclmila land the congestion hetre is relieved, j serious industrial consequences are possible. DERNSTORFF NOT ANXIOUS TO GO TO FATHERLAND May Hit a 31ine and Go Down, but He Doesn't Care. Get Home or Not Slakes Little Difference to Him. EMBASSY SETS SAIL TODAY Austrian Ambassador's Wife in Banished Party. Von Igel, Indicted and Under $20,000 Bond, Goes, Too. Hoboken, Feb. 14. Count Johann II. Von Bernstorff, with his wife and 200 German diplomatic and consular officials was safely aboard the Scan dinavian liner Frederik VIII here to day waiting to depart for Copenhagen on his way home to Germany. The liner was expected to get away late this afternoon. Count and Count ess von Bernstorff retired to their cabin immediately upon reaching the ship and the former sent out word by Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port, that he had nothing to say but "goodbye" to a host of waiting news paper men, and therefore hoped they would excuse him. To photographers he sent word that he thought every body in the United States knew what he looked like and therefore he saw no necessity for having his picture taken again. Prior to his arrival" at Hoboken, however, the former am bassador outlined on various occasions to a representative of the Associated Press his personal views regarding the war in Europe, the possibility of the United States being drawn into it and the doubts he held regarding his reaching home safejy. "You ask me," said Count von Bernstorff in reply to a question, "about my trip. Will I get home all right? Well, time only can tell. Of course we will get thru the British and French blockade and there should be no danger from our own submarines. I guess they will know we are coming and will let us alone, even if they should happen to see us. Ambassador a Fatalist. "However, whether I get heme or not- does Roc- reully mk much difference.- I have had my fun. I have had my play at politics. I have en joyed myself and I am no longer as young as I once was. The only dan ger so far as I can see as attached to the trip, is that we might strike a mine. You know they float all around on the sea and we may strike one. One can never tell about that. "But, if we, do hit a mine and go down, I am ready to go, too. After all, what difference will it make? If it is to come it will come; that's all. "The future? That is so Indefinite, too. Of course, I shall go directly to Berlin as soon as I arrive in Ger many. Maybe they will find some thing for me to do, and maybe they won't. "It is quite probable that my offi cial career is finished. I may retire for good. I have been turned out by your government for something over which I had no control and no blame attached to me, personally. Perhaps this is, a good time to step down. However, I am a German and my plans may be changed by the wishes of my government." In regard to the former ambassa dor's views on the possibility of the United States entering the war, it should be explained that several times in the days immediately following the severance ot diplomatic relations be tween the United States and Germany he indicated his belief that it was only a question of hours before some overt act would bring about hostilities. At ore time he asked: "Do you think I will be able to get out of the country before war is de clared Pardons American Partisanship. As the days passed, however, and no overt act appeared to have been committed, the former ambassador be came more and more optimistic, final ly saying: "Maybe it is possible that war may be averted. The president is repre sented in the newspapers as having made it clear that the next time he went to congress it would not be to ask for war, but in connection with protection to American shipping. What does that mean? To me, per sonally, that means but one thing the convoying of ships." Altho Count von Bernstorff does not believe that ships convoying would be subject to attack, he feels a great amount of danger is attached to such a procedure. Personally, the former embassador feels that many Ameri cans have not always been strictly neutral. He told his friends, however, that he believed sentiment in the United States was influenced by con ditions brought about by the war. "You have shipped your goods to the allies because they had command of the seas." he said. "If the condition had been reversed and the German navy instead of the British had that command, yeu would have shipped your goods to us. Naturallv, any per son's sympathies are where he does business. You can't blame him for that. Let us consider humanity and in ternational law.

Democrat Candidates AVin by 23 Electoral Votes. Washington, Feb. 14. Presidyt Wilson teas formally andofficia!ly lf$ clared re-elected today when congress in joint session, as provided by the constitution canvassed the electoral vote of the states. As presented and certified the offi cial returns give Wilson and Marshall 277 electoral votes; Hughes and Fair banks, 254. The canvassing of the vote today, as always, was conducted with much ceremony. The senate took a recess and preceded by two page boys bear ing the official returns, marched over to the house chamber where Vice President Marshall presided, sitting beside Speaker Clark. The vice president announced that, in obedience to the constitution and laws the senate and house were in joint session for ascertaining and counting the -electoral votes in this election for president and vice pres ident of the United States. He then called upon tellers previously selected to come forward a nd Senators Kern of Indiana, and Clapp of Minnesota, and Representatives Rucker of Mis souri, and Mapes of. Michigan, took their places at the clerk's table. Only Business at Session. Vice President Marshall opened and placed in the hands of the tellers the election certificates in alphabetical order of the states and ordered them to examine, count and announce the vote, state by state, as they should be called. In due course a list was submitted to the chair showing that Wilson and Marshall had received a total of 2 77 votes and Hughes and Fairbanks 254 votes. The report was then read aloud by the vice president after which he declared: "This announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the sen ate shall be deemed -a sufficient dec laration of the persons elected pres ident and vice president of the United States, each for the term beginning March 4, 1917, and shall be entered, together with a list of the votes on the journals of the senate and house of representatives." With this done the joint session was dissolved. PROTEST TO GERMANY Scandinavian Nations Make Second Complaint to U-Boat leeree. Copenhagen, Feb. 14. The Danish, Norwegian and Swedish governments have forwarded the central powers identic notes protesting against "the barrage of certain sea zones," accord ing to official information today. The note recalls on previous occa sions there have been formal com plaints by the signatory governments stating serious injury to the rights of neutrals. The Scandinavian note, in conclu sion, declares the central powers' measures 'all the more contrary to international law. if, as indicated, they are to be applied indiscriminately, even against ships voyaging between neutral ports.'

Surprised at America's Seyer ing "With Germany. London; Feb. 14.--The following perul-official statement "from Vienna regarding the relations of Austria Hungary and the United States ap peared in the General Anzeiger of Duesseidorf 'Negotiations have been taking place between Count Czernin, Austro Hungarian minister of foreign affairs. and Frederick C. Penfield (the Ameri can ambassador at Vienna), since the rupture of relations between the Uni ted States and Germany, on the ques tion of the future relations between the United States and Austria-Hungary, in view of the fact that Austria Hungary associated herself with Ger many's declaration of intensified sub marine warfare. "On the American side a desire has been shown to avoid a rupture with Austria-Hungary because Washington shrinks from severing all relations with the central powers. Berlin, too, would prefer that this last bridge wa.s left unbroken. 4 'The opinion prevails in Vienna, and Berlin that the. decision to embark upon an intensified submarine war fare did not constitute an action that should have forced the United States to such a policy as has been chosen by Washington towards Germany. The central powers have no intention of cancelling the new submarine war fare, especially in view of the improb abilty of establishing under present ability of establishing under present er there are any Americans on board torpedoed vessels. Won't Relax U-Boat Policy. "No concessions should be made to the United States that would render negative the nature of the new sub marine warfare, not even for the sake cf highly valued friendship of the United States. "Therefore it remains with Amer ica to find "means that will permit the maintenance of normal relations, ac cording to the American conception, between America and the dual mon archy, even with the continuance of intensified submarine warfare. "The negotiations between the Aus tro-Hungarian foreign office and the American ambassador have up ,to now led to no result but a negative or posi tive settlement may be reached1 in a few days. Count Tarnowski (Austro Hungarian ambassador to the United States, has not yet presented his cre dentials, but has already had a con versation with Secretary of State Lansing."

Border activities with unofficial re ptrts of killing of three Americans served to accentuate the Mexican problem. It is known that the war department is keeping an extra care ful watch on the boundary, for fear that trouble involving the United States will again break out. In connection with the Mexican problem, it was recalled today that a German embassy agent was in close and almost constant touch with the Mexican-American peace commission when it sat at Atlantic City. It is known too that some of Gen eral Cairania's followers have felt that German and Japanese support nere with the -ecmstUationaiist etnment While cabinet members have ex pressed doubt that Great Britain will land troops to protect British oil in terests at Tampico, it is more than a certainty that England will not look idly on, if Carranza carries out any plan of stopping her rich oil supplies from going forward from Tampico. Monroe Doctrine Bobs Up. In these circumstances, it will be up to the United States to take a hand or else England will undoubtedly do the task herself. The possibility of such foreign interference in the new world constituted a source of perplex ity here. There can be no mistaking that gov ernment -officials here feel that Ger many is behind General Carranza's re cent anti-ally activity, and while they do not take his embargo suggestions seriously, they do fear for what he might stir up in favor of Germany and against both the United States and the entente allies.

ALL SUFFERED GREAT DAMAGE The Flames Started in- Base ment and Spread Eapidly. Owner of Factory Is Inr' St. Louis on a Baying Trip. The Hossfeld trunk factory, 510 Kansas avenue, was partially destroy ed by fire which was discovered at 1 o'clock this morning. The factory oc cupied a three-story building, the rear of which was gutted by the flames. The stock and machinery of the fac-' tory valued at $60,000 suffered severe loss, altho Its extent was still undeter mined at noon today. The cause for the fire has not yot been assigned by Chief Joseph Hanlon today. All that is lmown is mai n started In the cellar and was soon burning so viciously that it was neces sary to train eleven lines of hose upon the building. No exact estimate of the loss could be made this mornfng. The building, owned by Reuben Knowles, 305 West Sixth street, was estimated to be worth about $20,000. The value of the stock, according t D. E. Rose, 1227 Western avenue; vice president of the company, was about $50,000 and the machinery at about $10,000. Both stock and building were insured. Knowles is wintering at Tampa, Fla., and George H. Hossfeld, 1227 Western avenue, is In St. Louis on a buying trip. He will return tonight. Discovered by Western Union. The floors and rear of the building were badly burned and the loss to the stock from the water will undoubtedly be heavy. The fire was reported by the West ern Union office across the street and a general alarm was turned In. All the fire fighting equipment of the city was put to work and the new 900-gailon-a-minute motor pump was i, laced in oBeration at Sixth and Kan sas avenue along with the old steamer. It was 2:30 before the fire was under control. The rear of the build ing was a roaring mass of flames and it was feared that it might fall. Judi cious use of water on the front sec tion of the building kept the fire from spreading and the holding of the walls saved adjoining buildings. None of the floors fell altho they were badly warped and strained. Young Hossfeld Breaks Down. While the rear of the building was a mass of flames the fire never mount ed above the roof. Dense outpourings of wood smoke covered the down town business section. Archie Hossfeld, 1227 Western ave nue, son of the owner 'of the factory arrived on the scene with Mr. Rose while the fire was at its height. He broke down under the strain and had to be taken home.

BERNSTORFF LEAVES AMERICA f J Of Count von Bcrnstorff, of Germany, Ambassador to United States, who left this country for home today. NOT ANXIOUS TO GO (Continued from Page Ope.) we have violated the rights of the former and the principles of the lat ter. But it is a poor rule that does not work both ways. Violation tc Starve Germans, Too. "Is it not a violation of the rights of humanity for the British to try to starve out the noncombatant popula tion our women and our German babies?- There is nothing human in that. "Are not the principles of interna tional law being violated every hour by the British? Even your govern ment in a most excellent note has de clared the British blockade of Ger many to be illegal and indefensible. "I have thought maybe it was pos sible for war to be averted, but, of. course, you must understand that is conditional upon Germany being able to bring the entente to its knees be fore anything happens to involve the United States.. The submarine cam paign is bound to increase in intensity as the weather gets warmer." The former ambassador was asked whether he thought the warning con tained in the German note announc ing the new submarine policy which was directly responsible for the sev erance of diplomatic relations, would serve to keep Americans out of the danger zones. He replied hopefully: May Come Back as Peace Envoy. "If it only does. Then everything will be all right. If no Americans are killed, there will be no war. I hope that war caa be averted. "Will I evir come back to the Uni ted States? I cannot say about that. Certainly I shall never be ambassador here again. That has never been done in the history of diplomacy. But I may come back -to attend a peace confer ence. -I don't know whether I flatter myself, but 1 do believe that J am not disliked by people here. Certainly I havedone everything within the pow er of mortal man to keep what has happened from happening but there were some things I could not do. "During the last days of my stay I have received hundreds upon hun dreds of letters from people all over this country. In all of then the wri ters have expressed their good wishes. There has not been one bad letter in the entire lot. Isn't that fine." The ambassador smiled broadly. The letters, he said, had relieved his feelings as to being -"turned out," as he expressed it.

C. A. Officers Here for Annual Conference. Christening Celebration for Camp ar Elmdale. ODDITIES CULLED FROM DAY'S NEWS Whether the State T. M. C. A. camp on which 1,500 boys will frolic tr.is summer be named Camp Wood is the chief subject for decision by the executive committee of the Y. M. The ground for th.i camp, 160 acres, was donated more than a year ago by S. M. Wood of Elmdale. who has main tained an active interest in the prog press of the camp. The sentiment is for recognizing the donor and a big "christening celebration" with Mr. Wood present will probably mark the spring opening of the camp. May 30. Up in the offices of the State Y. M. C. A. the officers have been laying their heads together to plan a summer oi good times for association young- -sters, and practically everytning is ready. Run All Summer. Instead of being kept open only a month, the camp will be occupied by one group or another nearly all sum mer. The first group to meet will be 200 high school boys from all parts jf the state. Their conference will last from May 29 to June 7. Then the. first section of the regular recreation camp will bo staged lasting from June 7 to June 20. This is open to all Y. M. boys of the state. The Hutchinson V. M. C. A. have the privileges of the camp from June 21 to June 30 and following that Wichita Y. M. young sters will "rough it" from July 5 to 14. The remainder of July will be siven over to the section of the regular recreation camp. Boy Scout Camp, Plans are under way to stage a big rSoy Scouts' camp some time in August when hundreds of "scouts" from all parts of the state will have a two weeks' chance to put in practice all their scout lore. Should this be held, as is likely, an attendance of around 500 boys is expected. The Topeka Central Y. M. C. A. has its own grounds at Maple Hill, so will not stage a camp at Elmdale. L. K. Hall, formerly Kansas boys' secretary and recently promoted to the international offices of the Y. M. C. A. at New York City is in town for a few days helping plan and organize the summer good times. From a recent trip to Elmdale he reports that the big lake, costing more than $5,000 to construct, is on the road to completion.

Ben Endres of Leavenworth intro duced the prize burlesque bill of the present legislative session during tn first night assembly of house mem bers. Endres's bill was directed at the farmers as a burlesque of the re forms demanded by rural lawmakers of the state industrial plants and pub lic serivce corporations. A bill similar to the Endres measure was proposed in 1915 by Al F. Wil liams of Columbus. The .Endres bill provides for the creation of a board of farm supervisors composed of one member from each district. Then the measure provides restrictions and limita-tions for the men in the rural district in a manner similar to the rules and regulations written for the large corporations by Kansas legisla tures. Eight hours a day, no night work, hens that lay not more than six egfis a week, inspection and super vision of all machinery from the cul tivator to the family jitney, free mov ies, baths, steam heat, hot and cold water and other modern conveniences for employes, are a few of the pro visions in the Endres measure. The bill includes more than twenty sec tions and was the attraction at the first night session of the legislature. when sent to the reading aesK. a motion to print and distribute 1,000 copies was beaten by a few votes. DENY THEY FLIRTED Two Men Back Vp Denial With $5,000 Suit Against Storekeeper. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 14. C. O. Pear son and W. O. Williamson say tain't so they never tried to "date up" a couple of good looking salesgirls in a local five and ten cent store. To prove it. they've filed suits rgainst the manager, asking $5,000 d'i mages each for the "humiliation" they underwent while standing outside the store in the clutches of two husky cops waiting for the police taxi. McPherson. Kan.. Feb. 14. The in sertion of an advertisement in Ohio papers brought two sisters together after they had tried for eighteen years to find each other. Aged, without frtend3. feeble and a county charge Mrs. Overolt of Moundridge was brought to the hos pital. The institution offered her care and friendship. She had given up hope. auto stopped in front of the hos pital Saturday and a couple entered. They asked for Mrs. Overolt. Yes Mrs. Overolt was there and the two entered the room. The woman stepped to the bed and stated that she was Mrs. E. Darrow of Peabody. They fell about each other's neck and cried tears of joy. They were sisters and had long tried to find each other. Eighteen years had passed and they had met at last. Both Lived in Kansas. Mrs. Darrow, wife of a well-to-do farmer at Peabody, had tried in every way to find the sister. She failed. Finally she inserted an advertisement in an Ohio paper. She had little hope of finding her sister in this way, but she would try, she said. Recently she received a letter from friends "back East" stating that they had heard her sister was at Mound ridge. She urged her husband to go to that town. They were told there that Mrs. Overolt had been there but had been taken to the hospital at Mc 1 herson. Her husband had died sev eral years ago. The car speeded to McPherson. Now the aged woman, 72 years old, is at a comfortable home of her sister, happy in her declining years, because some one thought an advertisement might do some good. 1 "PINKS' TO HUNT FOR POTTS. 1 inarrinl our farm to turn to "Tho l'as-e" to what are north yon know they win remain at par."

Emporia, Kan., Feb. 14. The friends of Rev. L. M. Potts and the various organizations interested in his behalf have put the matter of recov ering him or finding any trace of his body, in the hands of the Pinkerton Detective agency. It is likely that a substantial reward will be offered for any clew that will lead to either the punishment of his murderers, or to his whereabouts, if still alive. He carried about $20,000 in life in surance, which, of course, will not be available until proof of his death is established. He had interest in con siderable property, in Pittsburg and in Colorado and elsewhere in Kansas and in the west. He had a faculty for making money and was successful in several important enterprises. TORTCRES AND KILLS HORSES. Five Animals Victims of Queer Ma niac in Reno County.- Hutchinson, Kan., Feb. 14. Some degenerate, with an insane mania for torturing horses has been operating in Hutchinson and vicinity in the past two weeks. At least five horses have been found, all tortured in a fearful man ner by the human brute. Two fine horses, the property of Joe Gray of Turon, and valued at $300, were bru tally killed by this degenerate. The inhuman brute used a broom handle, lacerated the bowels of the horses, leaving them to die on the floor of their stall, in the barn of Kon C. Beck, at Riverside park. They were found dead at 8:30 yesterday morning. GIMPLE BROTHERS RETURN. Quite a number of men on the state pay roll will feel the need of shock absorbers of a program planned by house members produces results. It is the plan of a number of members of the lower branch of the legislature to open up several state departments to see just what makes the wheels go round. Right now it seems that Homer Talbott's extension department at the State university and the activities of the state board of health are most directly in line for an awakening. Al most any day now the lower house may train its guns on one or both of these departments. There are other institutions and departments which may come in for testimonials. Just at present members of the legislature are making demands upon the state accountant's office for facts and fig ures concerning several state depart ments and the bombardment may be more general than now indicated. Reports from the house Judiciary committee are to the effect that Prof. Talbott, who heads the Kansas leagae of municipalities, was invited by com mittee members to catch the first train back to Kansas university if he really wasn't looking for trouble in the legislature. Prof. Talbott is said to have left the committee room but forgot to catch the train to Law rence. And the trimming which Frank L. Martin, chairman of the ju diciary committee, gave Prof. Talbott on the floor of the house, is a matter of record. A "Contract" Suspicion. Now there are other storm clouds approaching. That little paragraph section 1001 of the general statutes of 1915 has been recommended for repeal. It is under this provision that Prof. Talbott was permitted to collect from the cities in his league $5 for each 1,000 inhabitants of the city, the collection being limited to $100 a year from each city. It is asserted in the legislative lob bies that certain members are now looking for evidence with which they will seek to associate the municipali ties league with certain large con cerns which have received big con tracts from cities affiliated with the league. If this "lead" is found to be correct, it is asserted that the infor mation is to be dumped on the floor of the house for public inspection. That isn't all. Martin has now dragged the state board of adminis tration into the discussion of the free and generous use of public funds. From the floor of the house during the discussion of the state purchas ing agent bill, the Hutchinson man read a few expense items. He read the item showing that the board of administration's traveling expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, amounted to $32,585.63, while trav eling expenses of the state board of corrections for the same period amounted to $4,388.28 and the trav eling expenses of the state board of control for the same year were just $411.87. Board of Health, Too. Following out the program for a general opening up of state expendi tures during the last few years, it is asserted that the state board of health is to be given a good full in ning. The expense items for the board may be read on the floor al most any day now. Certain members are said to be waiting for the oppor tune opening when some pet measure from the health department is called up for consideration. Legislative members in touch with the facts know that the state account ant's office has been asked to make an itemized report as to the financial af fairs of the board of health. The thousands of dollars spent by the board for junketing expenses for at taches and inspectors are to be aired in the discussion of several bills. All of which will doubtless mean that the fight will result in a quite thorough and general investigation of the ap propriation measures which the board will urge before the present legisla ture. Several other departments are to be looked into, it is claimed, and house visitors during the next few weeks may hear some inside facts concerning the places where the taxpayer's money goes. Jewell County Men Will Answer to Charge of Stealing Wheat. Mankato, Kan., Feb. 14. Ava Gim ple, wanted in connection with the theft of a large amount of farm ma chinery and wheat at Iona, was arrest ed at Greeley, Colo., and brought back here by a deputy sheriff. He has given bond for appearance to answer to a larceny charge. Kverett Gimple, a brother impli cated in the thefts, surrendered vol untarily rather than remain a fugi tive. He also is free under bond. The Gimple brothers, it is charged, stole a hundred bushels of wheat at Ionia besides a number of farm tools and harness. They were trailed from the i elevator to their farm by grain that spilled from their wagon alonr the road. PRISONER STABS A G CARD, Free Trial Coupon r. A.

The only demand for a new constitu tion came from a few politicians. We shall hear no more about it for two years, at least. The chief result of the stoptlon of a new constitution, sup losing such action were possible, wtuld be to open the way for the en actment of a lot of laws that the peo ple do not want. "I am very loath to believe." says .Secretary I-ansing. "that the German -.government is intentionally detaining Ambassador Cerard in Berlin on any excuse whatever. I should be very much surprrsed if such course had been taken." And yet that is exactly what Germany did,, according to re cent dispatches. Henry I'ord says he can build 1,000 submarines a day. Judging by the rate at which he turns out cars he I rubably has nut overestimated the .rapacity of his factory. The Cermnn blockade appears lio.'illy to have been extended to the hi ores of the United States. Amerl steamships are being held in the Larbor of New York, on account of it. If the United States has been wait in, for an overt act on the part of C.i rmany, what is the matter with the tactical imprisonment of Ambassa dor (Jerard The legislators introduce the bills, says the Deseret News, but the people fi-ot them. Now that Henry Ford has come into camp and announced that he is ready for war, there appears to be i.t.body outside the trenches but Col ontl Bryan. If the bill offered by Jewell of Crawford making Jamaica ginger con traband, pass, there is likely to be a marked decrease in the consumption of green apples and peaches. The plan of the representative from Morris county to reduce the high cost of appendicitis doubtless will meet with the approval of a large number of persons. Count von Bernstorff has jumped the game. Having won a big pot by means of the peace leak, he is taking it all away with him to Germany with out giving the boys a chance to et it back. That "peace without victory" sug gestion made by the president may be what induced Germany to seek war with the United States. Perhaps she would like to have Uncle Sam in at the peace conference when the war ends. '.Perhaps the confirmation of Doctor Grayson might be put over as a war Treasure. JThe traffic congestion due to the submarine activity of the Germans WiH cause a decline in food prices in this country, it is predicted. It is an ili wind, etc. J Regardless of the fact that the al legation frequently has been made tSat the United States is short of arms nDd ammunition, it seems that the gov ernment has offered to lend 5.000 rfrles and 50,000 rounds of cartridges t(J Cuba. EXPERIMENTAL. SCHOOL. John Dewey in The New Republic writes about the modern school to be established at Teachers' college, and s;;ys, in part: Fortunately for the promise of the new undertaking, the experimental school of the general education board is not a pioneer. There are already a; good many experimental schools, pd there are a great many more schools not experimental in the main which are experimenting in this or that topic or method. The rigid hold c.f non-experimental notions and it Is the nature of non-experimental no tions to.be rigidly dogmatic in spite of their intellectual vagueness has al ready been loosened. The' soil has been stirred, ar.d seeds are quickening. Experimental work already done makes it possible to find teachers who are themselves capable of assuming the experimental attitude the most difficult single condition to realize. The proposal comes at the right mo r.ient a moment which makes the en terprise a type, not merely another school. To concentrate the mind of the pub lic upon the need of the opjn and in quiring attitude, to lead it to realize that education should not be confined to making a choice among already formulated conflicting alternatives, but offers a field for genuine discov- cries, to heip it see that progress is completely uctuiit-iiL ukui for controlling discoveries, is itself the achievement. To familiarize the pub lic with the possibility of such a meth od in education is an event more sen sational than that heralded by even tre .blackest and largest headlines which announced a Rockefeller school. ON THE BRINK OF WAR. The American people stand upon the verge of a terrible adventure. Five times has this land and its peo ple gone down into the shadowy val ley of war and trodden in suffering and in fortitude its bitter ways. Un less a miracle happens, once more we shall find our feet set upon the piti legg path. As we face this stern reality, says the New York Independent, two ques tions loom before us: Why must we do this thing? And how? The first question we should answer with our minds and hearts as we cast the die. The other we shall answer with our deeds as we go forward out appointed way. What answers do we make? God knows we have been slow of entrance to this quarrel. We have been patient till patience seemed to have lost all show of virtue. We have suffered brutal affront after brutal af front. We have added to patience long suffering, to long suffering for bearance, to forbearance self abnega tion. But our every effort has been in vain. It was no single invasion of our rights, no isolated assault upon our henor that brought us to this dreadful decision. It is not even the cumulat ing series of wrongs to our national self that is forcing us from the paths of peace. The truth, is deeper than this and more portentous. There is abroad in the world a ma lignant and menacing spirit that would not let us be. We have sought with full sincerity to hold aloof from the conflict this spirit waged against our neighbors in the world. We have tried, and tried again, to hold the bal ance even between the contestants in tl.'is titanic struggle. But the evil spirit that possesses thejeaders of the German Empire would not suffer it to be. Driven by desperation and proud wilfulness it so threatened civil ization's very foundations that we had no choice but to end the friendly re lations which have continued for one hundred and forty years. If Germany wills that we shall fight, fight we must. Heavy hearted, for that we know the price that we must pay, but mighty spirited, for that we know the pricelessness of what we fight for, we shall give our hearts and our hands to this cause. If Germany will not recant we shall endure to the etidt. We- shall strike hfnds with those who for two years and a half have poured out their blcod and treasure in this great cause We shall give everything that we have and are that the right may prevail. AVe shall enter upon this terrible ad venture with malice toward none, but with an overwhelming hatred of the ruthless and merciless spirit of evil that possesses those we are called upon to fight. God willing, we shall not hold our hand until that demoniac spirit is exorcised from the world. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The following editorial paragraph is found in the' Christian Science Mon itor: Colorado Springs, Col., one of the great pleasure resorts of the United States, and a place heretofore visited by people inclined to indulgence in intoxicants, had nearly 1.000 fewer ar rests in 1916 than in 1916, the last "wet" year in the. state. Under the in fluence of liquor, many of the visitors to the Springs who came from other parts of the state and country, in 1915, violated the traffic laws. Motoring in the city and surrounding country was much safer in 1916. Motorists will be impressed by this fact during 1917. Since Colorado Springs has never had a saloon within its limits since it was founded, and the sale of liquor was prohibited by the charter, it is difficult to see what the Monitor is driving at. NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS. We read a great deal these days as to national preparedness, and, if we believe all of the calamity howlers, we are on the broad road to perdition, writes William H. Cameron, general n-.anager of the National Safety coun cil, in an industrial publication. As a matter of fact, never before i. the history of the world has real pre paredness taken such a hold upon s nation as has the preparedness idea of today. Not that I mean that thou sands and hundreds of -thousands of cur young men are becoming experts with sixteen-inch guns, or daily be coming letter-perfect in the manual of arms, but I refer to "preparedness" in a truer sense. A dozen years ago if you met a rail road man of lesser rank than that of a general fc manager, you instinctively glanced at his hands to count the re gaining fingers, didn't you? Well, today it is different. If a railroad of one hundred cars could be run nine times around the world, it's an even chance that on the completion of the ninth trip not one employe of the suc cessive crews operating the train would have met with a fatal accident. Isn't that real preparedness? You could operate a transconti nental limited train between Sau Francisco and New Tork for a gen eration without a fatal injury to a pas-H senger. In the last five years only one passenger was killed in a train ac cident each year out of every three hundred and fifty-five million pas sengers carried one mile. Nor does the preparedness idea stop with the railroads, wonderful as has been the success of the idea on what was formerly ranked as the most dan tcrous of all our industries. The aver age number of tons of coal mined in the United States per fatal Injury dur ing the last forty years was one hun dred and eighty thousand six hundred end seventy tons. Last year this hg Vre was reduced to one fatality to two hundred and twenty-eight thousand six hundred tons, and this, too. In spite of the great increase of non- English speaking men in the mining industry. The same spirit of preparedness has ir.xaded building operations. With the advent of modern steel construction and the piling of story on story till the newspapers, for want of a better ex pression, coined the sky-scraper phrase, safety of the workmen for a time became a by-word. Ho you re member the banner of the structural iron workers in their Labor Day pa rade: "We don't die, we are killed!" Well, that doesn't hold good any long er. An iron worker has about the same chance to die from pneumonia, scarlet fever or other contagious dis ease these days as he has from indus trial accidents. This country need not worry over preparedness. Our people are living a saner and more healthful and safer life than at any time in the history of our nation. As was expecjted, President Wilson has refused to discuss the submarine campaign with Germany. Uncle Sam i.-t tired of playing the role of innocent bystander and being landed on by the bricks hurled by the fighters. The saddest bit of news that has re cently come out of Germany is to the effect that the supply of sauer kraut 1s almost exhausted. i (sloibe siGmnrs From the Atchison Globe. A little knowledge is dangerous A clever promoter is one who can skin you without causing offense. The trouble with many specialists in business is that they won t work. Many people fail to realize the force of war or wind until the house comes down. The average man thinks a satis factory income is about twice what he Is making. Some men belong to clubs because they have no home, and others be cause they have. Civilization teaches men not to wear war paint and educates women to the use of face paint. Unless you do the digging you aro not likely to know of the hardpan and imagine the work should go faster. Midwinter trawberries may be add ed to the growing list of commodities that aren t worth what they cost. While the Salvation Army does much good, it can never convince the world that a tambourine is a musical instrument. After booze and the cigarette are abolished, everything probably will be Diamea on automobiles and moving pictures. A lot of people crow about how exceedingly interesting real life is. but the fact is real life isn't half as thrill ing as reel life. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From the columns of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL February 14, 189!.

The giraffe is a high, narrow animal found in circuses and de lirium tremens. It has a ten-story neck and.no use for it. We often wonder why is a giraffe's neck, anyhow. The giraffe probably wonders too. It's so long the poor thing could choke to death at one end and never know it at the other. And it keeps his head so far from the ground that every time he looks down he's afraid he'll fall off. But let's not hold the giraffe too strictly to account for his neck. He probably started out to be a boa constrictor and forgot about it. The only person that ever envied a giraffe was a small boy on the wrong side of the fence at a ball game. OH SFm OF TEE MOMENT I mot at. MOULTON. Beaoty Hint. For to make your eyes bright It is quite an art. Onions make them bright, at Least they make them smart. Snoring. Lots of people who have taken up snoring in a serious way find that they have more to do at night than they have thru the day. If one were required to snore steadily all day long, at his work and over his lunch, he would consider it a hardship. A fin ished snorer will snore all night, how ever ,at the top of his voice and think nothing of it. Many a man along his weary way home after a hard day's work looks like he didn't have a good snore in him, but after getting away to a fair start that night he can put more vigor into a few bars of snoring than into anything he did all day. Some people snore in a rather apolo getic way as tho they didn't wish to intrude. Others snore right out and bully and browbeat any one who hears. People who snore are healthy or at least tney can sleep under try ing circumstances. it s nard to see how they get a wink with all the din and uproar. But they do and the next night they examine their noses, try a few varied strains and set in to make another night hideous. Adventure. I'd love to sail the Tronic foam And be a pirate, bold and frightful. Free of the petty cares of home. Oh, how delightful! To rage and curse and shout "Belay! Dead men don't bite, you dog!" I'd be a Rip-snorting terror, as they say. You've no idea Red in my eye, rings in my ears. I'd search for gold and prey and plunder. My name would be a word of fears, I'd be a wonder. I'd. love to live the pirate'i life. To sail in search of hidden treasure, Begirt with pistols and a knife. Oh, what a pleasure I'd love to seize a tropic Isle And search for buried gold thruout it I Yet I'm content just for the while To read about it. What Was Coming to Mi in. A very hearty lad was Josher. Full of animal spirits. He liked to greet people breezily. "Such a .hearty chap," his friends would say of hiin. Josher always made it a point to be hearty. Josher's idea of heartiness was to slap you on the back. When you weren't looking for it. Come up be hind you and do it. And bang your hat down over your eyes. He liked that one. Very hearty lad. Josher died. Poor old Josher. Goes to where we used to hope he would. Devil shows him around. "Where you going to put me?" he says heart ily, slapping Devil on the back. Devil didn't wear a hat. "Right in here." Devil opens a door Lots of imps in there. Hands on 'em four by six feet. "Hearty lit tle chaps, but don't pay any attention to 'em," says the Devil. "Just turn your back on them."

"Where is Cathay?" asked Molly, the j stenographer-lady. "Yes," said the Authorman'a Wife, where is it? I've always wanted to j know." "So have I," said Molly. "Don't believe it," said the Cynic. "Why not?" demanded the Author man's Wife. "If you did, you'd have looked it up, wouldn't you?" asked the Cynic. "Well said Molly. "Yes," said the Cynic, "you're goin to say 'that's different or something to that effect. You want to know a thing in a vague way, but when It comes to making the effort to look it up 'that's different.' And yet it would only take you this long." Whereupon he turned to the encyclopedia and after a fifty second search informed us that Cathay was1 the name em ployed by the European of the Middle Ages for China After which he delivered a lecture on the vague footless, lifeless way in which we "want to know" things. There are times when I .think it would be most desirable for someone to invent a method whereby we could look into each other's minds and see thoughts in all their pellucidity, un marred by being passed thru mediu.n of langauge. And then there are times when I'm glad science hasn't gotten that far. And this was one of the latter. For I was guiltily conscious of more than one thing I also had always "wanted to know." For instance, years and years ago, I started to read an article in the pa per about the origin of familiar say in ks. I had just reached the one i about setting the river on fire when some one called me and I laid the paper down. When I thought of rne article again. I couldn't find the paper, and ever since then I've wanted to know what was the origin of the phrase, "He'll never set the river on fire." Again there's the world "Elee mosynary." I'll wager I've met that a hundred times and I've tlways idly wondered what it meant, and planned to look it up "someday." "If your intellectual curiosity were as keen as your ordinary curiosities," scolded the Cynic, "you wouldn't just want to know. You'd find out." It's a just indictment of most of lis, isn't it? Or maybe you are one of the won derful people who promptly convert all their wonders into knowledge. I assume they exist for the Cynic as sures us he is one of them. THE SPARROW. Little bird of dusty brown. Why do you stay here in town. In the noise and dirt and heat Hooping in the dusty street? Other songsters choose to go Here tne grass and clovers grow, -Where the dew is on the hill i-" And the shady woods are still; Where the baby rivers skip, And the cool green mosses drip. There tomorrow I shall be! Sparrow do you envy me? Saucy bird, alert and quick. Lingering on stone and brick Little children linger too, Who perhaps are fond of you; Pale and pitiful to see, Sick and sorry too, maybe. They can dream but never go Where the ferns and daisies grow. All the sultry summer thro They will hear no bird but yon. ('heap and common, sharp and shrill Chirping, chirping, chirping still Picking bugs and crumbs and things Yet you have the gift of wings; They can see you dart and fly Free and high to tree and sky Only little comrade given Who can bring them news of heaven!

"Heroism," said Doctor Marley st the dinner table, "is largely a matter of accidental coincidence "Coincidence must be accidental," interjected Roland jocularly. And a certain excitable reaction. mental, of course, wherein the hero feels irresistibly impelled to act in ac cordance with the exigencies of the moment." There was a silence at the table3 where Mrs. Bardwell's paying guests took their evening meal. vV hen tne doctor felt called upon to explain, there was always silence. The doctor felt it was a respectful silence, and Roland said to let him dream in peace. But Frances glanced up with a little lauehinc glance at Roland, and Miss Brockway gave vent to an audi ble sigh. Opposite Frances sat Wil liams, absorbed as usual in his own thoughts, and eating too fast, "Do you agree with that, Mr. Wil lams?" asked Miss Brockway, tact lessly. "Yes." said Williams, without par ley. "No man is a hero who sets tho stage and acts a part. It is purely in voluntary." The doctor beamed at him from across the room. He had not noticed Williams specially before. He was newcomer, whereas the doctor was as permanent a fixture as the blue elobed eas iets overhead. Miss Brockway regarded him with a reserved and maidenly interest also. She had not liked the way he read newsnaoers at the table before, but, she decided, it had evidently produced in him a firm and decisive mind. But Frances smiled, a provoking little one sided smile, and Williams saw it. He gave her one straight, level glance of rebuke, and knew in his heart it -vas not even seen. After dinner, as usual, he avoided the congregation of kindred souls out on the front steps and in the double parlors. Roland always joined them; but Williams went on up to the back room they shared in common and went after his -engineering books with certain savage avidity. It was- late when he finished, about 11:30. Ro land 'came up, humming a fragment of Hawaiian melody he had caught from Mrs. Bardwell s preserved harmony. He spoke of the new moon and of Frances dancing. "Some girls are merely spectacular, but she has soul and intellect," said Roland. "She is not exactly what you'd call beautiful, Tom, but she's tantalizing and interesting. Did you know she was from Kentucky, too?' Williams nodded his head imper sonally. Yes, he knew she was from Kentucky, and he knew some of her cousins at college, and he'd met her father once, or, at least, had heard him make an address on Kentucky's great and glorious heritage of pre serving the thorobred type on the American turf. He was from Ken tucky, too, but he didn't think it was the only state in the Union. This yoking oneself to a patch of earth when the world lay in front of one as a field of endeavor made Williams weary. He slammed his books down o'n top of the desk, and started for bed, merely requesting his roommate to drop Hawaii into the seventh circle of horrors. It was far into the night when he wakened with the muscles of his throat taut and stinging. When he opened his eyes he faced a gun-metal colored mist. Making for the window In a quick dive, he opened it wide, drew in the keen air deeply and turned around to rouse Roland. It took more than a friendljj call or a touch on the shoulder. Williams wasted no time, but splashed water in his face and told him to get out in the halls and rouse the people, while he found the source of the fire. "Ring in an alarm," he called, as he slapped a Turkish towel out of cold water and held it around his face and nostrils in the down rush thru the halls. And from then on until he was fished out unconscious from the sub cellar by the firemen Williams drop ped out of mortal ken, but Roland dis covered involuntary heroism. He was in his pajamas with a raincoat thrown hastily over them, going from door to door rousing the slumbering boarders. Also he went to the corner and turned in the fire alarm, rather dazedly. And when he came back he met the full continsent of Mrs. Bardwell's house hold coming downstairs with their most precious belongings clasped in their arms. The doctor bore his type writer and suitcase. Miss Brockway a pillowcase full of valuables and aro matic ammonia on hand -for emer gencies. But Frances stood out on the front steps in a corduroy robe, with a long cloak around her. "Have you seen Mr. Williams any where?" she asked. "The firemen are coming, aren't they?" "Oh, yes," Roland assured her, hap pily. "I have just turned in the alarm. I don't think it's dangerous yet, tho, Only, of course, the smoke. We might all have been suffocated." "That's what they are saying," an swered Frances. "It was good you wakened in time." Now right there was Roland's chance, and he missed it because the doctor spied him and hailed him as a hero. So did Miss Brockway, almost fainting on his shoulder, and offering him the aromatic ammonia hysterical ly So did each and every one of the survivors, individually and severally. He had roused them and saved their lives. Roland almost believed it him self, especially when he caught Fran ces's smile. It was amused, but it was amazingly friendly, too. "My boy," said the doctor, feelingly, "we can never forget this ni?ht or re pay you. You took your life in your hands going thro those smoke-filled halls." "Without a thought of himself," Mrs. Bardwell added. "It has saved me hundreds of dollars." Then came the engines outside and the firemen. And Clarence, the color ed waiter, emerged from the basement entrance gasping and the bearer of tidings. "It's a boiler of clothes done got left on de laundry stove," he explained, "and Mister Williams he's down dere in de smoke right by de furnace. He put de fire out all by hisself." Two stalwart firemen bore Williams up out of the laundry in the subcellar. It was a bad anti-climax. He was un conscious and blackened, and his hands were burned and his eyebrows and hair were singed. And while ev ery one worried and tended to him Frances turned just once to Roland and asked: "Didn't you know he was down there "Why er yes," replied Roland, earnestly. "You see, he wakened me first and told me to ring in the alarm and rouse everybody "And you forgot him?" "Frances, I just this minute got back from sending in the alarm "This minute?" Frances's eyebrows raised. "What an instantaneous re sponse the department gave you. Y'ou might have told some one that he was down there, you know there was time while they were praising the hero." And then Williams opened his eyes and said quite anxiously and im pulsively before every one: "Frances!" "I'm here, Tom." She went over to the big couch where he lay and gave him her hands, even with Miss Brock way's eyes upon them. "Everybody's safe?" "Every one," she assured him. "It was only that blamed laundry stove," he muttered, "but the smoke got me by the throat The doctor turned aronnd and softly left the parlor. After him went Miss Brockway and Mrs. Bardwell, and thg rest, last of all Roland, and left the two from Kentucky alone. Clarence, fanning himself on the front steps, en countered Roland. "Did you save anything of import ance, Mr. Wade? Seems like every body jes grab what dey don't want in a fire and leave all dey need behind-" "I lost everything," answered Ro land, with dignity. "Not even hope is left at the bottom." "Nevah you jnind," Clarence smiled. "Mister Williams saved dat bunch of washing, and your shirts was right on de bottom." But the ex-hero was silent, and in the front parlor there was silence, too, until Frances came out with a little happy smile on her face and wee smudge of black on her cheek. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) DINNER STCRIES Some weeks ago the wife of a cer tain barrister lost her cook, and, since she had no other resource, she rolled up her sleeves and for a week provid ed such meals as her husband had not enjoyed since those happy days when they did not keep a cook. The barrister's delight was so great that, by way of appreciative acknowl edgment, he presented his wife with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite nat urally, the incident was a good deal noised about among their social ac quaintances, and a spirit of envious emulation was developed in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Dan vrs recited the story to her husband. "What do I get, Harry," she asked, "if I do the cooking for a week?" "Well." said M r. Dan vers, "a t the end of a week, my dear, you'll get ore of those long crepe veils." Colon el Hen ry Watterson, who makes a collection of queer ads and typographical blunders, says that one of the oddest transpositions of the types that ever came within his ob servation was in a New York paper that used to print its shipping new3 on the same page with the cbituarir-s. One morning a long list of respectable names were set forth under the head ing, "Paesed Thru Hell Gate Yesterday." AT LAST HOUSEHOLD HINTS Potalo Substitutes. At the present price of potatoes, we are all looking for substitutes. Home made noodles are more nutritious than potatoes and can be prepared in many ways. Noodles To one egg add four ta blespoons milk, pinch of salt and enough flour to make a stiff dough. Roll very thin, allow sheets to dry. then sprinkle with flour, roll up like rolled jelly cake and cut thin with a sharp knife. This will make about one-half pound when dried. For soup, add slowly to boiling broth and cook fifteen minutes. Noodles with Tomato Sauce Boil in salt water and drain. Heat con tents of one-half can tomato soup, thin with milk or cream to desired consistency, pour over noodles. Escaloped Noodles, with cold chick en, veal or lamb, will make a whole meal and use up left-overs. Dice any cold meat fine. Place a layer of noodles in a baking dish, then a layer of meat, a little finely chopped onion and celery. Continue layers till dish is full, having noodles on top. Pour over enough stock or milk to moisten, grate cheese over top and bake fifteen minutes. Fried Rice Put one cup rice in three pints boiling water, add one tea spoon salt and boil rapidly one-half hour. Then press rice into dish or pan, put weight on and allow to be come cold. Cut into slices and dip al ternately into crumbs and egg. Cook in deep hot lard. Serve with meat gravy or sirup. Boiled and drained, the noodles can be served with pot roast, or any kind of roast meat. Serve on the plates with meat, and cover with meat gravy. This quantity will make sufficient for five people in the meat dishes d Time Tali BY CLARA EMGRAM JT0ZJSQN PAWXFK Years ago, out in the part of our country which is now called Okla homa, there lived an Indian tribe called Pawnee. These Pawnee Indians were a fine large tribe and from their relics we have learned many interesting things about Indian customs and cere monies. Like most other tribes, the Paw nee Indians had many yearly festi vals, at which time there was danc ing and feasting and general rejoicing. One of their most interesting cere monies was the animal dance of the Pawnee medicine men. The Pawnee dwellings were larger than ordinary Indian wigwams, they were built of posts and straw. The posts were thrust upright In the ground tail ones In the center and shorter ones around the sides. Strong strips of leather or tough grass braid ed were stretched from po3t to post and then the whole big roof was woven thick and firm with straw and grasses. Around the sides, the straw was fitted down carefully to the ground so that the water would drain off well. As the time drew near for the ani mal dance, the inside of the medicine men's hut was gayly trimmed with animal trophies. Skins and feathers were hung on the walls, stuffed birds and small ani mals were hung from the ceiling and shells and bones were strewed around on the floor. In the very center of the dwelling a large fire was built in a huge tur tle shell which was turned upKide down and half buried in the dirt floor. Around that was coiled an immense j make. The snake was of clay the body about a foot and a half thick, i thirty 'feet long and gayly painted j green and blue and yellow. The head i was turned facing the entrance and great black fangs were thru out to I ffrprt newcomers. Around the sides- of the dwellings and double that in soup. In making cake or anything requiring the whites of eggs only, the yolks can be made into noodles. Use four tablespoons water for two yolks. Baked Noodles To the boiled noodles add cheese and nutmeg, and bake ten minutes. Or, prepare with tomato sauce, sprinkle witli cheese and bake. Rice "With Tomatoes and Cheese Cook one-half cup rice in upper part of double boiler with three cup3 boil ing water; boil five nwnutes. Add one cup tomato sauce, mie-hatf teaspoon salt, one teaspoon chopped onion cooked in two tablespoons butter. Cook all together in double boiler un til rice is tender. Then add one-half cup grated cheese, stir lightly and serve as soon as cheese is melted. The Tabic. Ham Canapes Take slices of bread half inch thick, cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter, brown on both sides in melted butter. Put some cold cooked ham thru food chopper, sea son with white pepper, moisten with a little milk, mix well, spread on the fried bread. Sprinkle over with grat ed cheese and bake in hot oven until cheese is melted. Serve on hot plat ter. Garnish with slices of hard boil ed eggs. Escalloped Tomatoes and Peanuts Moisten two cups bread crumbs with two tablespoons of butter; season with salt and a dusting of paprika. Add two cups of chopped roasted peanuts. Place in layers in a baking dish, al ternating with two cups of stewed to matoes. Bake in a quick oven until browned on top. Prune Pudding Itich and deli cious. Stew raisins with prunes until both are tender, then cover with a good biscuit crust. Bake and serve with cream.

Miss Emily Miller of Chicago has snitched. She says overalls are be coming the vogue among the women of her city. "I wear 'em when I go out camping," she says. "I wear 'em when I do any gardening. And I al ways wear 'em when I do my housework. Many a time I have worn them to the movies, only then I slipped on a coat. And what's more, most of my neighbors are wearing 'em." FIND MAMMY'S GIRL Marjorie Ielbrid;e. Who Mysteriously Disappeared, Located in Detroit. Chicago. Feb. 14. Marjorie Del bridge, the 14-year-old white ward of "Mammy" Camilla Jackson, colored, who disappeared from the home of Mrs. Louise Brock hpre the night or January 26, has been found at De troit, Mich., according to information received here today. She was at the home of Mrs. Enoch Taylor, a middl aged colored woman, who is said to be a close friend of "Mammy" Jaek-.-(in. According to a story told by Marjorie, she left Chicago in an auto mobile with two white women and drove to Hammonil, Ind., where sne and one of the women boarded a traia. With this woman, whom the little girl knows only as Aunt Helene, MarJiT:e went to a town in Canada near De troit, and has been living there since, when not with Mrs. Taylor in Detroit. The case of Marjorie Delbridge, who was left by her mother in the care of "Mammy" Jackson when she was a baby, has attracted considerable attention here. She was taken from the colored woman's care and placed with Mra. Louise Brock, from whose home she was taken in the automobile the night before she was to arfpear in court to be assigned definitely to a guardian, "Mammy' visited her there that nifcht and it was just after the agred colored woman left the Brock home thitt Marjorie disappeared. An official of the state's attorney's office said today that if he found that Alarjorie was in good hands the case would be dropped by the state. Other 'EM IN CHICAGO wise, he said, every effort would be made to bring the child before the juvenile court to place her in proper environment. AUSTRIA BREAK NEAR Return of Diplomat's Wife Significant Xo Change on I" -Boat Poliey. Washington, Feb. 14. The fact that Earoness Zwiedinek, wife of the new but unaccepted Austrian charge d'affaires, is sailing home today with the Bernstorff party appeared signifi cant in view of the possibility of a break in relations between the United States and Austria Negotiations with Austria to relax her endorsement of Germany's subma rine warfare are still kept secret, but as there are no signs that she has changed her position, it appears likely that a break cannot be avoided. Ambassador Bernstorff's message to the capitol before quitting was an ex pression of hope that war between his country and the United States would be avoided. FLETCHER AT BORDER Carranza Military Kscort Awaits TT. S. .Ambassador. San Antonio, Feb. 1 4. Henry P. Fletcher, American ambassador to Mexico, on his way to his post in Mexico City, spent today here in con ference with General Funston and will leave tonight for Laredo. A spe cial train and military escort, sent to the border by First Chief Carranza are in waiting at Nuevo Laredo. North Side News WORST JO COME! End of High Prices Is Sot Yet in Sight, Merchants Say. ETen Water and Stock Feed Are Getting Scarce Sow. "If there isn't a genuine scarcity of products." said a prominent retail gro cer of North Topeka, in speaking of the heavenward trend of prices, "then the wholesalers and manufacturers fiave formed the neatest little Ananias club that ever fooled the people. "In a good many cases." he contin ued, "actual scarcity is the explana tion for excessive cost. In other in stances there seems co be no good excuse. It is a certainty, however. I tnat it present conditions continue prices are a mere bagatelle to what tr-ey will be next year." The price of all canned goods, for l-.stance, has gone up for two seasons. First, it is exceedinglydifficult for the canning factories to obtain fresh vege tables. Second, the price of tin cans 1-as gone up 75 per cent, due, it is ciaimed, to large exportation of the r--;etal. On the other hand the use of fclass for preserving is even more dif ficult, because of the near impossibil ity of procuring glass bottles. The ex planation given by the manufacturers is that great numbers of the glass blowers have been attracted to the munitions factories by the high v, ages. Vegetables Scarce. The Snider Catsup people are months behind because of the short age of bottles, and in many cases have not filled their last fall orders. Fresh vegetables are very difficult to buy at any price. Turnips are al most out of the market. -One retailer ordered onions from a Topeka com mission man. He received half a sack and was glad to get that. Potatoes are more than $2.50 a bushel and onions and cabbage 10 cents a pound wholesale. One store is selling canned corn for $1-20 a dozen because it had a large supply on hand. The same corn at the present time would cost $1.35 wholesale. Beans cost 13 cents whole sale. Why the Sam Hill should they? Well, the men who are selling them for that claim that the government bought up the entire Wisconsin crop, for the army and that they have to sell California beans which- are ship ped a long distance. Now the report comes that the orange and lemon crop in Florida has been frosted, and that the Californ'a fruit has also suffered. Naturally, the price will rise. This is the deuce of it, say the retailers. It rises so naturally. Stock Feed Scarce. Farmers north of town say that the shortage in rough feed for stock is beginning to be felt. No very good reason fur the lack is assigned. The crops of hay, alfalfa and clover were not -particularly short last fall, but the farmers claim that the feed don't appear to have in it the same amount of nutritive value as is normally, pres ent. They say that if it had not been for the remarkable open weather of the last two months the shortage would have been very severely felt before now. This lack of feed those who know claim, will cause raisers who would otherwise hold their stock, to sell, and tend temporarily to reduce the price, or at any rate increase the quantity of meat on the local market- Later on, however, the absence of stock will boost the price still higher. How, no one knows, but in some way or another it must, of course, be due to the war. And Water Isn't rientiful. Hue to the very dry weather, many wells are running low north of the city. Agriculturists have a theory that if the drouth continues much longer they will have to quit coming to town from the danger of their teams falling in the cracks in the roads. Social and Personal.

The house moved the motion picture censorship board to Kansas City. The senate is now in the act of moving it back- The senate committee on fed eral and state affairs has reported the house bill back amending it in the matter of the location of headquarters. When the house passed the bill it provided that the headquarters should be maintained in Kansas City where the new films first touch Kansas. It was held that it would mean a great saving to the movie people. A delega tion of the Kansas City people inter ested appeared before the senate com mittee and made its arguments but the committee remembered that in Kansas City the state would have to rent a room and pay a high price for electric current, whereas room in the state house costs nothing and the cur rent manufactured at the state heating and lighting plant can be used for the state machines. As reported back to the senate to day the house bill provides for a board of three members, the chairman to receive $1,800 a year and the other two members to receive $1,500 each. Two dollars a reel is the maximum charge fixed and if the expenses of the Doara justiry it this may be decreased.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use i enough to moisten the scalp and rub j it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, r.iost if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applica tions will completely dissolve and en tirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at c.nce, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

In spite of the governor's recom mendations for fewer boards and commissions, the Coffin bill for re peal of the barber board law was kill ed by a house committee. Coffin came to Topeka with the conviction that the haircut, shave and shampoo artists did not require regulation and supervision. He introduced a bill to repeal the barber board law, but the committee killed his bill. A house committee also killed Coffin's bill pro viding that physicians should not charge more than J100 for appendi- citia operations.

N. otifies Cuban Rebels It Won't Recognize Them. Insurgent Leader Acosta Re ported Killed in Rattle. that might be established by revolt could not be recognized by the United States. Confronted by what appears to be a carefully prepared liberal rebellion; the administration had been forced to consider what steps could be taken Intervention by the United States is contemplated with reluctance but the intimation has been conveyed to Pres ident Menocal and to the leaders of the uprising that such a step may be taken if it becomes necessary. The message to the Cuban people was American consuls with instructions that it be given widest publicity. It is j carefully worded, but calculated to impress upon the public the serious- j ness of the situation and the profound disfavor that such a revolution would find in Washington. President Men ocal has assured the diplomats at his capital that he has no doubt of his ability to confine the rebellion to a small area and that it can last but a few days. He also has expressed to them the conviction that the snecinl 'election being held today in Santa Clara province will be accepted by the people as the solution of the electoral deadlock which brought about the re volt. The character of the message sent to the Cuban people was practically the same as that enunciated by Presi dent Wilson at the overthrow of the Madero government in Mexico. It was pointed out that the policy of the American government announced then not to recognize as legal any govern ment that came into power by violence was unchanged. llevolt Leader Killed. Havana, Feb. 14. It is reported that Col. Baldomero Acosta, mayor of Mariano, who is said to have led the rebels which engaged in a fight with rural guards forty miles from Havana yesterday, has been killed, and that Maj. Gen. Enrique Loynaz del Cas tillo has been wounded. This report has not been confirmed. Major Gen eral Del Castillo represented Cuba .at the San Francisco exposition. The latest official communication says government troops are closely pursuing Colonel Acosta's forces. Small disturbances have occurred in Matanzas and Santa Clara provinces. According to official information, the re-elections in Santa Clara are proceeding peacefully. lbs. for. .$1.00 Walter Raker's Chocolate, 1 lb. 2 cakes 35c Cadet Peaclics 20c in syrup, doz $2.20 Cadet Apricots 2c in syrup, doz $2.2U Jay Hawk Salmon 20c A fancy red fish, dozen cans $2.20 Fancy Head ltice 8c Clean, uncoated 1 lb. pkgs. is in 10c package. o cured.

IV. F. Barber, 723 Lincoln St Wins in Fistic Combat. Clad only in his night clothes, W. P. Barber, 723 Lincoln street, engag ed in a desperate hand-to-hand fight in an alley with Walter McMillan, who, it is alleged, stole an automobile tire from Barber's barn this morn ing. Two confederates engaged in the early morning robbery escaped in a one-horse wagon owned by them and stationed in the rear of the barn. Late this afternoon they had not been apprehended by the police. Bleeding from a dozen wounds in flicted on his almost naked body by McMillan, Barber after a ten-minute struggle attracted the attention of W. L. Porch, special officer, who was passing and McMillan was rushed to the city jail. A burglary charge is lodged against him. Barber awoke early and from a bedroom window saw three men standing near a barn window. One of the trio reached thru the window and pulled out an automobile tire. "There's burglars at the barn," Bar ber shouted, as he sprang from bed and rushed into the(cold morning air, barefoot and in his night clothes. IlobbcTS Kan. Frightened, the thre men rushed to the alley, two jumping in the wagon and driving at breakneck speed to safety on the public streets. McMil lan, auto tire in hand, rushed down the alley toward Sixth street. He had rot gone far until he dropped the tire and turned to face the pursuing Bar ber, who was rapidly gaining on him. A desperate fight followed Almost certain that capture spelled a prison term, McMillan, a well known police character, did his utmost to get in a knockout blow, knowing that such was his only salvation and that the blow wculd need to be delivered quickly as help would soon reach Barber. One blow after another fell in the face and body of Barber, who clung desperately to McMillan's clothing. McMillan's clothes were torn to bits when Porch arrived on the scene. With reinforcements, McMillan gave up the fight. Partners Make Get Away. The capture of McMillan occurred early in the morning. At noon noth ing excepting the bare details of the robbery had been made part of the official information of the police. Not even the name of Barber was placed on any record that the chief of police could find. Sheriff Hugh Larimer was cailed in, got in touch with Bar- ber and Barber will swear to a corn- nlnt oo-cinc- McMillan tViie oftornmn The identity of McMillan's two part ners is known by police and county officials.

NAMES 160 LEADERS Indictments Follow Investigation Indiana Election Fraud. of Indianapolis, Feb. 14. Five indict ments, naming approximately 160 po litical leaders and supporters in four cities in Indiana, were returned here this afternoon by the federal grand jury, which has been investigating al leged election frauds in the state since November 18. Federal Judge A. B. Anderson did not discharge the grand jury after its report. THE MESSIAH The annual concert at which Han del's oratorio "The Messiah' is pre sented, was given Tuesday night at the auditorium, under the direction of Dean Horace Whitehouse. The sing ing was done by the Topeka Musical Art society, with a number of soloists. all of whom were chosen from among local musicians. An orchestra of thirty-eight pieces contributed to the concert, and the organist for the evening was IX A. Hirschler. The solo parts were taken by Mrs. B. B. Smyth and Mrs. George W. Parkhurst, sopranos; Mrs. E. G. Brown and Miss Allison Shaver, altos; Mr. Glenwood Jones and Mr. Waldo Heywood, tenors, and Mr. Hugh Dick erson, bass. The chorus was somewhat smaller "than in previous years, but it was better trained, many of the older members keeping their membership and profiting by previous drilling. The ensemble was unquestionably good, and Mr. Whitehouse trains and directs his choruses with the methods of scholarly musicianship. The great chorus "For Unto Us a Child Is Born," continues to be, aside from the Hallelujah chorus perhaps, the best liked music of the entire piece. It is appealing both in the sentiment of the text and in the musi cal setting and is one of the master pieces in oratorio writing that makes a profound impression on the musi cally learned and unlearned alike Most of the great solos from the Mes siah are familiar to those who take any interest in religious music, and all singers or any versatility have them in their repertoires. In the first part of the program there is an orchestra number. Pastoral Symphony, played by the violins and pipe organ. It was well given last night and was a pleasing feature of the performance. A disappointingly small audienro at tended the concert. It was evidently the purpose of the conductor to make the oratorio a regular feature of the musical life of the town. For those who find more in a great work of art than the satisfaction of a curiosity to know what it is like, the annual at tendance upon such a performance is a privilege, but the majority of the patrons of classic concerts are content with one hearing. Of course there were doubtless many reasons why the audience was mall, but a repeated performance, in this town, has never been found to be as successful, finan cially at least, as the first one.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always oears the Signature of STATE JSJARRED Kansas Cannot Engage in In ternal Improvements. Supreme Court Hands Down an Important Decision. HOLDS ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL It Was First Law of Year's Legislature. This Matter Must Be Submitted to People for Vote in 1918. The state supreme court this after-j noon held the first act of the 1917 legislature unconstitutional. Under the court's decision the state cannot appropriate money for road building and cannot in any manner engage in internal improvements Efforts of the Kansas legislature to avoid a constitutional amendment to engage in work of internal improve ments so far as it affected work on public highways, were unavailing un der the action of the court. The legis lature must now submit to the voters an amendment to the constitution to be voted upon in 1918. Until such a measure shall have been approved by the voters, the state cannot in any manner engage in highway building. Representative Bardwell of Riley county offered the bill which received the action of the court this afternoon. His measure was known as House Bill No. 4 and was emerged to second and third reading, messaged to the sen ate and passed by both legislative bodies during the first week of the present session. As soon as the act was signed by the governor, published and became frVrtiv( a test suit was filed to de termine the constitutionality of the new law. The measure carried an ap propriation of $5,000 and mandamus proceedings were filed against Fred W. Knap,, state auditor, to compel him to approve warrants for the expendi ture of the money. In deciding the case this aiternoon, the supreme court held that the meas ure was an evasion or the constitu tional provision prohibiting the state engaging in work of internal improve ment. The supreme court nanaea down a special decision in the case that the legislature might proceed with the submission of a constitutional amendment at the present session. The house will take up constitu tional measures this week. It Is prob able that the internal improvement amendment as applied to highway building will be the first constitutional provision offered to the voters for ratification in 1918. TO CHASE U-BOATS 2,500 Scout Crafts Available for 7 Coast Patrol. U. S. to Turn Out 25 l ast De stroyers a Day if Teeded. Washington, Feb. 14. Approxi mately 2.500 power craft of various types are available for duty as scout patrols about American harbors, ac cording to navy department figures Cf these, 250 boats have been sur veyed and formally enrolled in the new scout patrol service, 1,000 others are known to meet the full require ments of tbe service and the remain der are designated as second rate, but nearly all of them could perform some war time duty. The department expects to complete plans this week for two new types of boats to be used as submarine chasers. They will be big and fast enough to form the outer line of patrol, main taining themselves at sea for two weeks or more. They will be con structed of wood. It is estimated that within two months after the work be gins vessels of this type can be turned out completed at a rate or probably 25 or 30 boats a day or faster. CAVALRY MAYCR0SS l S.

"Eighty-five per cent of the export trade of the United States last year went to Japan. "I believe the United States would be wise to go to war with Germany we have found it most profitable."

Mitchell, assistant secre tary of the H. D. Lee Mercantile com pany, wholesale grocers, Salina, is here opposing the passage of senate bill No. 381, which is a bill requiring a licence from firms and corporations issu i n 5 premium stamps, coupons and Jthcr trading devices, a bill generally favor ed by retail merchants. In exnlainin-r his onnosition to the bill, Mr. Mitchell saya: "We oppose the bill because it takes away from the Kansas retail dealers the protec tion against premium-giving mail order houses, which are not affected by this act, as it cannot cover inter state business. We do not think ji bill of this kind. that will handicap Kansas merchants to the advantage of outside merchants is a. wise one. We handle certain soaps, tobaccos, chewing gums and a list of over one hundred items that are furnished thru interstate business that are already on the retail grocers' shelves which contain coupons that are given by the manufacturers to those who purchase these goods. It this bill becomes effective, the retail grocer will have to pay a tax for sell ing these nationally advertised and well known goods on his shelves." Which leads the State Journal to say: Mr. Mitchell admits that the over whelming sentiment in both the house and senate appears to be in favor of this bill, designed to put trading stamps out of business. He says that the senators and members have re ceived many letters and telegrams from retail merchants, asking that the bill be passed. Mr. Mitchell's company is circulat ing literature which shows the com pany is in favor of the use of coupons and premium stamps. In this litera ture is found this statement: "The prohibition of the use of coupons does good to no one, is an injury to many and in our judgment is a very unwise measure to pass." Of course, in regard to the soaps, tobaccos and chewing gums, etc., han dled by the wholesale house, it would probably compel the eastern manufac turers to cut the premium stamps and coupons out of their merchandise, for the retailer wouTd not pay the license. Certain big concerns, like Marshall Held Company, who do an enor mous business, refuse to handle pre mium stamps and the above poods un less the premiums are omitted. It is understood that the lee Mer- cantile company is especially opposed to any apparent advantage being given mail order houses, and they claim that this bill would help the mail or der house. The mail order house is alays a thorn in the flesh of all local retail merchants; but if a mail order house, in order to compete with local merchants is obliged to throw in ail sorts of premiums, it is another illus tration why Kansas people should pa tronize their own merchants, instead of the mail order houses located in other states, and buy the goods they want without being compelled to buy the premiums too. The argument used by Mr. Mitchell is the same argument that the pro nioitory question nas constantly met Ill IVltllDas, II10.L is lu 11 we UU 1 1 L permit the sale of liquor here, others outside of the state will sell it to us. Same in sale of premiums. The whole premium business, Mr. Mitchell, is a "gift enterprise," and in the final analysis it is necessarily classed as such. GIVE S. OF V.

HARD FORJARVER He Has to Prosecute Personal Friend in Johnson Trial. Yet He Insists on Conviction of '-.the Defendant. CASE GOES TO THE JURY McKeever and Sclienck Plead for Acquittal of Client. They Argue Weaverling Child Ran in Front of Automobile. Robert D. Garver, county attorney, today admitted that one of the hard est tanks in his official life confronted him in the prosecution of John R. Johnson, a personal friend, charged with killing 11-year-old Jesse Weav eiling in an automobile accident on West Sixth street in October. In ad dressing the jury. Garver told of his friendship for Johnson and his knowl edge of Johnson's enviable reputation. The case went to the jury at 1:30 o'clock. Arguments by John J. Schenck and E. D. McKeever. attor neys for Johnson, and Robert I. Gar ver and Hugh Fisher, prosecutors, oc cupied the entire morning in Judge Whitcomb's division of the district court. "Yet. personal friendship and knowledge of Johnson's sorrow and attempts at reparation should not be J considered by the jury, said Garver. "If you believe the death of Jesse Weaverling was a result of excessive spelling by Johnson, it is your duty, if you are "not cowards, to convict him. "I cannot police the streets of To peka to enforce traffic regulations. It is only when the death of this child or some other catastrophe occurs that I have an opportunity to do my best in prosecuting for failure to comply with the law. If the daily failure to enforce speed regulations on West Sixth street, is as bad as pictured by the defense, it behooves this jury, by its verdict, to either open the flood t-ates to such a procedure, or to close them." McKeever and Schenck pleaded for Johnson's acquittal on the grounds that Johnson did not hit the child, but the child ran into his car, that con viction and' imprisonment would do Johnson no good, would put the stamp of a criminal on him, blacken his family's name and that a man of Johnson's caliber had suffered every heart anguish possible as .a result of the accident. The court room was packed. The fafher and mother of Jesse Weaver- ling were present at the morning ses sion. Mrs. Weaverling is not in good J health and was supported by her husband as she walked into the court room.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re sult from toxins, poisons and impur ities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as thtt next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the akin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin or these eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as well. Advertisement.

Philadelphia, Feb. 14. The less a girl wears, the more she must eat. This is the law of clothes. Miss M. Jane Newcomb, a state college lec turer, has discovered in her research work on the "tolly of fashions." She laid down this law In a lecture here before a group of women at tending a three-day session of the ex tension school of Pennsylvania State college. Miss Newcomb said an inch cut off the skirt means an extra pound of beefsteak inside. But the worst of it all is that girl who stirs the streets with "skirts to her knees, silk stock ings and a chest bared to winter winds," as Miss Newcomb described her, "must eat so much to keep warm that she becomes dyspepic, nervous and irritable." "Wre have been drawn into the whirl of the folly of fashion," she said, "and are dominated by the makers of fashion. It is going to take strong convictions to free ourselves from the tyranny of the fashion plate." "The girl with money can get enough food to keep her warm when she undresses for the street," Miss Newcomb went on, "but the working girl who spends all she earns on clothes to imitate the heiress has so little left for food that she becomes weakened and an easy victim for tuberculosis."

HOMES JOR BIRDS Make Topeka a "Bird Town" Is Women's Slogran. Plans Are Formed for Instruc tion of Children. To make Topeka a "bird town" like Meriden, N; H-. or Brookline, Mass., is the plan of the forestry department cf the Women's club. Hundreds of school children will be encouraged to take part in the bird house c'ontest conducted by this department this spring in which about $100 in prizes will be distributed. Ernest Harold Dayne. the big "bird man" of the country, will be brought here for two free lectures in the Auditorium, March 6, and every effort made to awake the community to the value and beauty of making Topeka a "bird center." The bird house contest will be staged some time early in April. Last year 235 nesting places for the birds, ranging from pretentious apartments to humble cottage3 for the wrens, were submitted to the judges. This year at least twice as many entries are wanted. The contest is in charge cf Mrs. H. E. Ray and Mrs. Prank Squires, while the general program of the forestry department in regard to the birds is in the hands of Mrs. Ben nett R. Wheeler and Mrs. Robinson. Want Thousands of Houses. "We want thousands of bird houses here," Mrs. Wheeler explains, "and the contest is to be an annual affair of the club. In Brookline, Mass., the city pays a bird warden, who in icy weather sees that the birds are fed and that there are sufficient nesting places. "As a result in Brookline and In Meriden, the pioneer cities in this movement, the trees and flowers and shrubs are free from the injurious in sect pests, with which Topeka is too wel! acquainted. "The migratory birds would be sat ipfied to be home-loving birds,"-Mrs. Wheeler says, "if we would but feed them here during the winter. And as a result they would be on hand in ei'rly spring to take care of the Insects in the larval stages, ana Topeka would be free of canker worms and other fa miliar pests." The school teachers and authorities pre backing the movement to acquaint the children with the birds and when Dayne lectures here in March, a half holiday will be given to attend the aft ernoon lecture. The chief inhabitants of the bird houses in Topeka are robins, bluebirds, chickadees, wrens, martins and swal lows. The Prizes. The prizes to be given in the con test include prizes for the best bird houses constructed by seventh and eighth grade children and prizes for the best work in the fifth and sixth trades; a prize for the best construct ed bird house; another for the most original one and a prize to the school ruaking the best showing. The manual training school teachers cf the city met with Philip Hasty, su pervisor of manual training in the city schools, this afternoon for a confer ence to devise plans for interesting ard aiding the children in the contest.

"If Germany allows neutrals- other than Americans to continue relief work in Belgium, it is America's duty to continue to pour its millions of money and supplies into that stricken country." That is what Herbert Hoover, chair man of the commission for the relief of Belgium told 500 prominent persons at a dinner in his honor here. "There are 400,000 babies under three years of age in Belgium who have been fed twice a day by the commission," said Hoover. "And there are 1,200,000 destitute Belgium children who need constant aid. "If we must retire, then other neu trals must take up this work. The world canot stand by and witness the starvation of Belgium. God still reigns.

An appeal to members of congress to organize informal referendums in their dis tricts to obtain an expression of the popular will on the question of war, was today sent to each member in the form of a proclamation from "The Working- Men of America." The three foot proclamation bears the portraits of Lincoln and Samuel Gompers. Gompers, it states, has communi cated with Carl Legien, head of the German labor movement, 'to prevail upon the German government to avoid a break with the United States." The president is requested in res olutions from 300,000 trades union ists to "keep us out of war." i m 1 Stops that itching It is a positive fact that the moment Resinol touches any itching skin, the itching usually stops and healing begins. Unless the trouble is due to some serious internal condition, it quickly clears away all trace of eczema, ringworm, pimples, or similar tormenting, unsightly eruption, leaving the skin clear and healthy. Doctors have prescribed Resinol for over twenty years, so when you try it, you are using a remedy of proven value. 11 Lesion is .old by all druggists 1?! J David J.

The Metropolitan museum in New York has given over one of its gal leries for an exhibition of his works. Only two other American artists have had this distinction."

The ball is to be one of the impor tant affairs of the winter season, since it is given by the Elks club, an ex tremely popu lar organization, and a large per cent of the proceeds are to go to charity, which must certainly need the help as it has never needed it before, if the price of meals downtown and the cost of shoes is anything to judge by.

THE TOPFKA DAILY STATE JOURN L WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1917 IT A HOH? 1 a I J i.j m w j nrrm i-r-i n I Some man with a broken leg de layed action by the senate on the Sut ton bill providing for municipal ice plants until it has became a dead le t ter. Of course the chances sue that it would have died a violent death anyway, but Senator Sutton would have felt better if it had not been killed bv a cripple. The bill was in committee and ready to be reported out favorably. Senator fcchoch of Shawnee had an interested constituent who wanted to appear be fore the committee. The friend put It off and finally the bill was reported. Then the friend broke his leu and Senator Schoch was aide to delay ac tion until the man with theJ.roken log could set well enough to ride in a wheel chair or use some other means of locomotion in Renins before the committee. The committee recalled the bill. It is now on the calendar but it is also in committee, waiting 'or the man with the broken le. The following bills were passed by the senate Tuesday afternoon: Senate bill No. 171 by Senator choch authorizing the marshal of the court of Topeka to appoint deputies to serve papers outside the city. Senate bill No. til 7 by Senator llil l:ey of Osane authorizing the issuance of bonds by Osago county for the construction of a $1,200 set of build ings on the poor farm at Kurlingame. The buildings burned last week. Senate bill No. 49. by Senator Kim bail, enables all cities of the first class to have city courts. Its provisions af fect only Pittsburg,, Parsons and Hutchinson, as all other cities have Fueh courts. Senate bill No. 30S, by Senator ilet calf.

It was not until the discovery by Sir Arthur Oarrod, In 1848, that the blood of gouty patients contained uric acid in an excessively large amount, that much attention was paid to this subject. Later scientific men learned that in gout (also true in rheuma tism,) the kidneys do not work prop erly to throw off the uric acid poison; consequently uric acid crystals are de posited in and about the joints, where fin inflammation is set up in the near by tissues. When for any reason the circulation is slupRish, as In the Joints of the toes, crystals formed from uric acid are deposited there, and one suf fers from gout; or. when deposited in the tissues, one suffers from muscular rheumatism or articular rheumatism. My.. only, medicine tu counteract the uric acid and to throw it out of the Bystem is tablets of Anuric (double Ktrensth), three times a day. The pain in the back, lumbago, pain in the neck, creaky joints, stiffness in rr.uscles, have all been proven to be caused by uric acid poison in the blood and tissues. The kidneys soon become diseased, then there often follows dis ease in the muscles of the heart. Kidney disease carries away a large percentage of our people. What is to be done? What can the ordinary per son do to properly balance bodily health? The answer is easy. Rat loss meat, eat coarse, plain food. with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent before meals for awhile. such as Anuric (double strength), obtained at almost any drug store. It was first at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by iJr. Pierce, of the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot wntr will dissolve sturnr --Adv. Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If yo want to l.e p your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, make:, the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely greaseless). is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure tha hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and elean.se the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very ch ap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for month Advertisement. lEHATlSM!

Baseball Magnates Will Make Peace If He Will Quit Fraternity. N'w York, Feb. 14. With an abro gated agreement on hand and with the cock-sureness that goes with every step taken by organized baseball, indi cations today are that a personal is sue has been made of the threatened baseball strike. Dave Fultz may have to "give-trp-his" phtce at the head of the players' fraternity before recogni tion to tho players again will be granted. The spirit of the resolution passed by the National league, the attitude of everyone connected with the league and peace overtures that have come thru the agency of John Mctlraw all point to the elimination of Fultz. Fultz is said to have declared he will step out of the way if the mag nates will agree not to discipline any member of the fraternity who lias stuck to the strike edict- His stepping out means the end of the strike, for the magnates probably would be will ing to listen to anyone but Fultz.

You don't know what upset your stomach which portion of the food did the damage do you? Well, don l oolher. If your stomach is in a re volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and ercutate un digested food: breath foul, tongue coated just take, a little Pape's Dia pepsin to neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress. Millions of men and women todav know that it is needless to have dys pepsia. A little Diapepsion occasion ally keeps the stomach sweetened, and 'hey eat their favorite foods withou; fear. If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebel l.on: if your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless antacid is Pape's Diapepsin which casts only fifty cents for a large case at 'dru? stores. It's truly wonderful--it stopo food souring and sets things straight, so gently and easily, that it is really astonishing. Your stomach will digest your meals if you keep acids neutral ized. Advertisement- USURPED ITS POWER Senator Owen Attacks Vnited States Supreme Court's Jurtsdtctitm. BY ROBERT 1 OWEN Vnited States Senator From Oklahoma. (This is the third f a series of articles by Senator Oweu in support of his bill seeking curtailment of the United States supreme court's power to annul laws adopted by congress.) The supreme court of the United States, as we saw in the last article, may destroy laws passed by congress in two ways: First, by declaring them unconstitutional and void; sec end, by interpreting into them .mean ings congress never put there. The constitution distinctly says: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the United States." And again. "The judiciary power shall be vested in one supreme court and such inferior courts as eongress may establish. How does it happen, then, that fed eral judges presume to veto or change laws? Where did they get the power? There is but one answer. they sim ply took it: they usurped it. There is not a single word in the constitution giving the judges this right. Marshall Set Precedent. It was first used in 1801 by Chief Justice John Marshall when in decid ing the case of Marbury vs. Madison he declared a certain act of congress to be "repugnant to the constitution and void." The case related to a jus tice of -the peace in the District of Columbia and was of no importance except for the precedent set. Lon afterwards the court used this prece dent to clothe itself with authority to declare void other laws of the utmost importance to every man in the na tion. The precedent thus set by the su 'l ieme court has been followed by th state supreme courts, altho no state constitution gives them this right. As a result, nearly every law, state or national, designed to equalize taxes, regulate railroad rates, fix the prices the peonle must pav for sugar. meat, oil, building material, gas, elec tric lights, telephones, or laws to pro tect working men and women, abol ish child labor, protect the public health, or what not, is at once en joined "unconstitutional." by the cor porations, and the Judges determimn the matter. Produces Business Uncertainty. This creates business uncertainty ar.d popular anxiety. No one knows what the law realjy is till the courts tell him, and not then for'a certainty because courts reverse themselves and reverse each other. As a matter of history, a majority of the decisions are in favor of the corporations and against the people, so much so that it has gotten to be a ommon joke that "anything the people- want is .unconstitutional." MUCH POVERTYHERE Provident Is Receiving Many Calls for Help From Unemployed. One of the worst poverty epidemics that has struck Topeka in many a day is now raging according to Judge R. M. Tates, secretary of the Provident association. Three hundred orders for groceries have been given out by Judge Yates since the first of the month, an unprecedented run. And the demands are still pouring in. "Work has never been so scarce," Judge Yates says. "Since the first of the year there has been a steady de crease in employment and there will be no let up until spring. These fam ilies must be tided along by the Provi dent association until spring. Thus far we have been able to handle the demands for food." With the high cost of living the families have been unable to save ahead to meet the "rainy days of un employment." UNIFORM R. R. GUARD All Iiines Meet With Detectives to Or ganize Protection. Chicago, Feb. 14. A conference of railroad officials and government secret men was held today in the fed eral building as an initial step to en sure the protection of the right of way of every American railroad in case of a declaration of war. Private detective systems employed by the railroads will co-operate at once with federal officers in guarding terminals, particularly at strategic points, for the handling of military supplies, for the protection of govern ment property at arsenals and forts and for the patrol of main lines from end to end. The railroad officials, representing all the main lines centering in Chi cago, assembled in the office of Hin ton G- Claubaugh, chief of the local bureau of investigation. Strike Off in National.

Jf arrangements can be made for procuring the use of Savage park, To peka basehall fans will be given a chance to see the Chicago Cubs 1-rimed for their National league race some time in March when they return from their training camp on the coast. 'Arrangements have been made for the Cubs, both first and second teams, to return via th I'nion pacific, and tiey will pass thru Topeka. The man agement of the team and railroad tiit'icials are anxious to have them play an exhibition game here, and if the park can be procured it is thought some local men can get up a team to meet them. Any one who is interested in pro moting such an exhibition should communicate with City Passenger AKent Frain of the I'nion Pacific, who hla been devoting a great deal of time to the matter and who believes it will be worth while to have the famous t bicago Nationals show their wares in Topeka.

The National league and the Baseball Players' fra ternity came to the parting of the wavs here while Manager John J. Mc Graw, of the New York National league club, and President David L.. Fultz, of the players' association, were in secret conference, endeavoring to reach a common ground upon which the so-called strike of the players could be compromised. The senior organization passed unanimously a resolution abrogating the agreement made with the fraternity at Cincinnati, January 6, 1914, and when McGraw returned to the meeting it first ap peared as if his self-imposed mission had been in vain. Later when President Tener, of the National league, read the resolution to the newspaper representatives he ex plained that no discrimination was to be made against any player who might have been or continued to be a member of the fraternity, but that the league would no longer recognize the organization and that all dealings in the future would be with the play ers as individuals. As this was the principal request made by Fultz in his conference with Manager McGraw as a guarantee before taking steps look ing toward the lifting of the strike or der insofar as it affected the major leagues, it appeared that his request had received consideration. That the magnates realized the seri ousness of the situation that faces baseball both from internal and inter national complications, was shown by the fact that baseball writers were called into the meeting of the league for one of the very few times in the forty odds years of its existence. BY JACK. VEIOCK. New York, Feb. 14. If confidence counts for anything Lies Darcy is a whole battalion. This boy from Maitland has been accused of dodging the real fighters Decause ne consented to meet Al Mc Coy in his first bout here. But Lea has an eye on American dollars. He likes to hear the eagle scream and he says the sweet whisperings of Amer ican coins are much sweeter than the intermittent cooings of the British pound sterling. in meeting McCov Da.rcv thinks be has a soft one, and he thinks like many others. But no one can really blame him for taking on the Brook lyn iaa when he can' get X30.000 for it and still see more coming for later bouts. Sot Afraid or Others. If we are to take the opinions of Darcy and his manager-pal, E. Tim othy O'Sullivan, for it, the Australian milling machine isn't afraid of Dil lon, Miske or Gibbons- He has seen the first two in action and he thinks they are good, but not good enough. Gibbons? Well, Gibbons will have to consume a few more barrels of Min nesota flour before he can develop a punch Darcy will fear. About the only thing that Darcy seems afraid to fight is the German army. He broke the world's record for long distance Jumping to avoid the chance of being asked to help storm the sauerkraut trenches. Since Darcy scored -easy victories .YT.? uch Iads G?orge Chip, Jimmy Clabby et al his opinion of American fighters has been so strongly formed that some one will have to blast to dislodge it. Darcy and O'Sullivan were at the ringside, when Dillon and Misko mec in Brooklyn. From what they saw of these two sturdy wielders of tne mean maulers they claim there is nothing for Darcy to lose sleep over. Kxpects to Meet 'F.m AIL O'Sullivan. who is lust about as cool snd conservative as a cove oyster, says that Darcy expects to be called upon to meet Dillon, Miske, Gibbons, Chip and probably one 4r two others. And listen Oh, boy he adds that in his opinion Jack Dillon will be the easiest picking of the bunch. If Dil lon ever hears this there will be in odor of scorched linen in his immedi ate vicinity, for Jack will surely be come torrid around the collar. Never theless, this is O'Sully's frank opinion. xnc Australians are capable of pointing out flaws in Miske, too. They think Miske is a tough, willing, hard hitting boy, but he lacks polish. His ring manners aren't up to snaps and Darcy will endeavor to give him a hasty lesson in deep sea diving when they meet. "Whether or not Darcy will demonstrate the art depends on Miske, Dillon or any of the others. We still contend that the best of lantern jaws can be denied and the best of punch- ers outpunched.

J.. Feb. 14. A man who claimed to be "a relative of Prince Wilnam of Germany" attempt ed to rush his way thru Count von Bernstorff's guard as the German em bassy staff was boarding the Frederik Mil today. He waved a letter, which he said he had been commissioned to deliver to Bernstorff, and had pene- trated beyond the guards before he was stopped and taken to the police station. The man, who said his name was Alfred Hopkins, talked incoherently. Hopkins said he lived at 114 Bast 12 3d street with his mother and half broth er, and is 19 years old. He was held for examination but was not formally put under arrest. When the newspaper photograph ers tried to snap Hopkins as he was being hustled away, he stopped and posed for them. The letter was dejivered to Count von Bernstorff. It follows: "I await here your words to con sent to an interview. I am a cou sin of Prince Frederick Wilhelm. I seek an appearance before you to explain myself. If you refuse to be lieve my life's secret, then for God's sake do not refuse to call upon me to shoulder a gun in the cause.

In a ,report to the senate, rehashing the charges contained in a pejtion filed in court, S. M. Brewster, attorney general, told the body Tuesday eve ning that "there is eonsiaeraoie evi dence pointing to the existing of a bridge trust in Kansas." The report was in response to a resolution offered by Senator Malone of Rawlins and adopted by the senate. It followed the charge made on the floor by Senator Barr of Bourbon, that representatives of a bridge trust had been pounding him since Re came to Topeka. Two years agj-the legislature appropriated $5,000 to the attorney general with which tomake an inves tigation of the alleged bridge trust. The Malone resolution called for a re port on this investigation within five days. The Brewster report tells nothing that is not already in the records. He tells the senators that it would be un- i wise for him to furnish them with j confidential information until suits he i has in court are determined. The suits I he mentions are against the Topeka j Bridge Iron company, the Missouri 1 Valley Bridge Iron company, the Canton Bridge company, the Kansas City Bridge company and the Illinois Bridge company- Besides these facts, coupled with the original papers, or copies, in the case, together with the expenditures to date, the report tells nothing the senators could not have learned by visitirfg the clerk- of the supreme court and the state auditor. The report shows that A. M. Keene, speaker of the house, as special coun sel in the investigation, received a to tal of Jl.389.99 of the o,000 appro priated by the last legislature. The report contains twenty-five typewrit ten pages and will make at least a 60-page booklet. Senator Malone mov ed that 500 copies be printed for dis tribution and the motion carried. CHAS.

Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 14. The in ternational situation between Ger many and the United States will not stop baseball in this country, George Tebeau, owier of the Kansas City team of the American association, be lieves. He made that clear immedi ately following the severance of dip lomatic relations. "Our league wiU play just the same," the Kansas City magnate said. "There may be some cuts in salaries, but sport should be as good as usual in this country this summer." However, many of the nation's play ers prooaDiy would respond to a war call, if such should come, it was said. Many players, perhaps, could qualify as experts for certain work, some of them having been proficient members of militja organizations .while others have technical knowledge that would tit them for participation in particu lar branches. Tebeau sent contracts to his players at about the same tinue President Wil son addressed congress with the an nouncement that Count von Berns torff had been handed his passports. No changes were made in the con tracts for that reason and none will be, Tebeau said, unless the players complain. Sport Wheezes MARLEY 25 IN. DEVON 2 IN. ARROW COLLARS 1 5 cts. each, 6 for 90 cts.
