A Few
Personal Words.

The readers of the Journal have on
more than one occasion voluntarily
thanked us for calling their attention to
matters of deep interest to them. It is
this feeling of satisfaction that prompts
US to mention the fact that the Brit
ish Medical Institute has established a
permanent branch office in Topeka, at
412 Topeka avenue, and that it offers
its services free for three months to
all invaIids who call for treatment be-
fore February II.
The full Importance of this munificent
offer can scarcely be realized. Suffice it
to say that the British Medical Insti-
tute has on it's staff a large number of
the most expert British medical spe-
cialists in the United States, and that
DR.. S. Edward McCully. the chief con-
suIting physician, is now in Topeka,
and will remain permanently, assisted
by one or more of his staff.
The reader should remember that no
charge whatever will be made for con-
sultation, examination or advice (nedi-
cines excepted, and that all minor sur
gical operations will be performed
free, the only condition being that in
valids must avail themselves of this
between now ana FEBRUARY IL ana
from now until that date the office will
be kept open every day. Sundays ex-
cepted, from a. m. till p. m.
Male and female weakness. Catarrh
and Catarrhal deafness, also Rupture,
Gotter, Cancer, and all diseases of the
Rectum are positively cured by their
new treatment.
Those of our readers who are ailing
should call at once and avoid the crowd
ing that will naturally take place later
on.

BOYS, LOOK QUITE!
IF You Have an Air Rife or "Nigger
Shooter" the Police Want You.

The boys who use air rifles and mig
ger shooters" on electric light globes
are liable to get into trouble. They
have been destroying a large number of
globes for the city recently, and the
police have received orders to arrest
every boy seen with one of the weapons.
In his report to the council last even
ing superintendent Goodrich, of the
city electric light plant, said among
other things: The loss of lamp globes
is heavier than it ought to be, due
largely, I think, to the small boy with
slingshot or target rifle"
THE boys are breaking globes faster
than we can buy them," said Mayor
Drew.
while Chief Ramsey is present"
said City Attorney Bird, II would like
to suggest that the police be instructed
to watch for every boy with one of
those things, either a rife or a 'nigge1
shooter and arrest every boy who has
one. I saw a boy shooting at a globe
the other day. I took after him but he
disappeared down an alley and owing
to the fact that he could run faster
than I could and knew the country bet
ter, he disappeared. All such boys
ought to be taken in and given the
limit of the ordinance a few times and
it would break up that business
Chief Ramsey said the officers watch
ed for boys shooting at globes, but that
they would hereafter look after every
youngster with a, weapon.

A CITY WITHOUT SOAP.
Sixty Thousand Japanese Who Had
Not Learned How to Battle.


Miss Kate V. Johnson, of Madison,
Ind, who has lived in Japan for thir-
teen years, talks in an interesting way
of the little people of that country, who
live without chairs. bedsteads, knives,
forks, spoons or soap; of the women
who paint their teeth black and shave
their eyebrows to indicate loyalty to
their husbands; of the carpenters who
make long beautiful shavings by draw
ing their planes towards them and who
place the back door at the front of the
house; and of their books in which the
preface is placed at the end of the book
and foot notes at the head of the page.
Miss Johnson first went to Akita, a
city of $4,000 persons, and found it a
city without soap. NaOye Saito,a young
Japanese girl who came to live in her
house, had never had a soap bath in
her life. She kicked and screamed when
her first bath was given her and said
they were trying to kill her. A cake oil
Ivory Soap was sent Naoye Saito's
father with instructions to use it on his
person. He came back the next day
and asked for another cake, saying he
had used all up.
Before Miss Johnson left japan last
summer she took Naoye Saito, who had
been with her for ten years, back to her
native province and left her to earn her
own living. While still in Toxic, a few
days before sailing for America, Miss
Johnson received d letter from Naoye
in which she said: Il forgot one thing
very necessary to our comfort in this
place. VIII you please go to the gro
Gerry store and buy me a dozen cakes of
Ivory Soap and send them to me at
once?" She sent a money order to pay
for it, and the soap was sent.

who. advocates a smaller appropriation
than is carried in the pending bill, and
the prospects are that a satisfactory
agreement will be reached for a limited
appropriation by the present congress.
1T will be difficult to stay the passage
of the bill now" said Senator Harris.
''as the American people are thoroughly
aroused as to the Importance of build
ing the canal without further delay.
While there is no intention on the part
of the friends of the bill in the senate
to take preeipitate action, We feel that
too much time has already been al
lowed to pass without getting down to
actual work on the canal.
1.-The time is ripe for beginning the
construction of the canal, and the
whole country, without regard to poll
tics or section, demands action by con-
gress this session.

tie party is putting into practice the
teachings of the Lord eighteen hundred
years ago He declared that the next
campaign viii be the iercest for many
years and that he has every faith in

the blood Of many of the first born is
being shed and still more will be shed
before the heart of the Pharaohs will be
softened.
Mr. Bryan retired at midnight

CRAZE REACHES HEIGHT.
Candidates Give Premium Stamps For
Votes

The latest style in premium stamps is
for the candidates for office to give
them with their announcement cards.
It started from a joke of County Clerk
Wright'S.
w. E. Pagan is a candidate for pro-
bate judge. He had some announce
ment cards printed yesterday. and left
a number of them in the county clerk S
office. Mr.. Wright had a quantity Of
premium stamps, and he put one in the
upper left hand corner of each card.
Now a candidates card is not in style
unless it has a premium stamp on it.
The other candidates will have to do
better by putting on more stamps, or
Mr.. Pagan will get all the female votes
that are cast for that office.

At the Whist Club.

Last nights attendance at the Topeka
Whist club was rather small on account
of it being an off night" The resolu-
ton adopted last Monday night to split
up all the teams was reconsidered and it
was unanimously decided last night that
the members might double. up as they
pleased and that the second tournament
would commence next Monday night; This
means that nearly all the teams will play
together as in the first contest. However,
the match system will be played in TINS
next tournament which will be a better
game for everybody.
To split up the teams just now it was
thought would do the club more harm
than good and it would also weaken the
best teams. AS the first ten teams expect
to play q match game in Kansas City
on Saturday night. February 18th. by
playing with their regular partners up to
that time, at least a better showing, of
course: will be made.
Copeland and West, the winners in the
first tournament, were each given a pair
of handsome cuff buttons last night. This
team will represent the Topeka Whist
club at Lincoln. Neb., next Friday and
Saturday at which time the Central
Whist association holds its sixth annual
meeting.
