Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies The proper
development of their body is of the first i'm
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their h, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is selfevident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes
the fifteen year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur-
ney, Ind. She is bright young lady, is
fond of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex-
perienced. She has missed two years Of
school on account of her bad health but now
she will be able TO pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to a
newspaper man one day recently. My
daughter has had very serious time of il, +"
said Mr.. Barnes, but now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along oil right

the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. 1t was of course, q deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such a tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
much, ard she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.
She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
studies She was strong and healthy before

FRED Function. HERO.

Kansas Cttp Times The Newton RepuL-
licds has given the spaniards freah cause
TO attack the American ambassadorial resi-
dence at Madrid by proposing To give Fred

Why should he not receive an
ovation? Kansas is loyal State,
and its people are among the most
loyal in existence. Fred Funston
mixed up in fight that was not his
own nor that of his country, solely be-
cause his Kansas blood and American
ism would not permit him to stand by
and see the persecution and cruelty
practiced by the Spaniards upon u
long suffering people who by all rights
of humanity were entitled to their
freedom. The united States thought
that Intervention was not necessary,
and the policy of the present admin

that respect. What America needs is

BELGIANS INTERESTED.
The Fame of Iola's Great Gas Field
Has Reached to Far Away Bel
GUM, and A PROPOSE
ton Comes That
May Give
lis
THE BIGGEST THING YET.

A letter came yesterday from one of
the great window glass centers in
Belgium, addressed to the President of
Board of Trade, and making the
proposition that contemplates nothing
less than the establishment in lola of
the largest and most prosperous
window glass factory in the United
States. !
After stating that he has learned
from United States newspapers that
we have discovered natural gas in
great quantities at lola, the writer
presents the details of a plan in which
he proposes to bring not less than
sixty experienced and thoroughly
trained glass workers and employ
them in the manufacture of window
glass, enameled glass, clipped glass,
ground glass and mirrors. The super
intendent of the plant would be one of
the best glass manufacturers of
Europe, and it would bs guaranteed
to work ten months in the year The
workmen are all men of family and
capa BILE of earning from $3.50 to $3.50 a
month each.
The proposition is one of the most
attractive that has yet come to us and
the Commercial Club will go to work
on it at once to see whether the con-
ditions necessary to secure the loca-
ton of the plant at this place can be
complied with. And whether any
thing comes of this particular case or
not, it Is gratifying to know that the
name and fame of the lola Gas Field
have reached so far as to have attract
ed the attention of the manufacturers
of Europe.

AT
THE SHELTER.
A Fire Last Night and an Explosion
This Morning.
CAUSES A SHUTDOWN
At the New Smeiter--The Old smeIter Has a
Small Blaze TODD. Lanyon Serious
Iy Injured by the Explosion.

About eight O'Clock Sunday night
something got wrong with the gas
regulator at the w. d j. Lanyon
smelter and Dee Lanyon went to in
vestigate. The regulator lie enclosed
in room by itself, and as it was
known to leak some he left his Ian
tern outside, while he went inside to
investigate. The wind blew through
the room in such a way as to carry
the escaping gas to the lantern, and
the gas Immediately ignigted while
Lanyon was in the room. A quick
flash was all, but in that time his
face and hands were badly burned.
There was no explosion at this time
and no damage to the works. Lam
yon was brought to town and his in
juries cared for. His face was still bad
ly swollen from the fire, but it is hoped
that he will pull through without los
ing his eye-sight, which is the chief
danger.
After the above accident work con-
tinued at the sm-Iter as the machin-
cry had not been injured in any way.
Early on Monday Ia some unknown
way a spark ignited the escaping gas
which had again accumulated i'm the
regulator rooRI and II sharp explosion
followed which blew the packing out
of the regulator and left 1t in such
shape that the gas had to be shut off
at the well and the engines stopped.
The damage done to the regulator
was probably the result of the pack
ing having been burned by the fire
of the previous evening and WAS not
of so serious nature as TO cause
much loss. Plumbers went to work
at it at once and it was hoped to get
it in shape to resume work sometime
during the forenoon, but 1t was found
impossible and all day long men were
employed throwing wood into
the furnaces to prevent the destruc.
ton Of the retorts by cooling.
Two accidents would seem to the
average mind enough for one night
out a fire at the Robert Lanyon's
Sons smelter was also due and came
off according to the bills. 1t for
tunately did little damage, but the
result might easily have been the
total destruction of the entire plant
The crusher room Is in the center o
the main building and it was here
that the fire occurred. A small roast
er or dryer is located in this room t
dry the ore before running it through
the crushers, The fires were turned
on too. strong and the rafters above
the furnace caught fire and blazeC
right merrily for a short time, Tn,
men by prompt work put out the fir
before it got under Roadway. Had
it once got started the largest zin,
smelter in the world woulC
be only memory, In fact lott
came very near ceasing to be a smelt
ing point at all Sunday night.
