think that 1191 poor sufferers should
be 80 quickly cured by the new system

fact that they do cure after all others

Doctor, ! did not really believe when
I came to you that l could be so quick
ly cured, and to think that you are
willing to return our money il we are
dissatisfied, is something no other

Owing to the many who were un-
able to gain admittance during the
last few days Of the month, on &C.

KANSAS LAW EXPLAINED.
Congressman Miller Defines the Legal
Stains of the Crusade

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8--CongressmaD
Miller. of the Council Grove district, has
found it necessary to explain the pecu-
liarities of the Kansas prohibition stat
utes that his fellow members may un :
derstand the success which attends Mrs.
Nations crusade.
According to the Kansas law" Mr.
Miller says THE state does not recog-
nize any Or operty in articles that are
used in connection with the sale Of in
tozicants; so, as long as Mrs. Nation
srnashes bottles and glasses and knocks IN
the heads of whisky barrels she Is vio-
lating no statute Another peculiar fea~
ture OF the situation is that the saloon
keepers don't dare to have her arrested
on charge Of destroying property, for
fear the courts viii declare that there
is no property, in the eyes of the law, in
the articles demolished That would only
emphasize to the tongns their absolute
freedom to smash things in saloon
whenever the notion strikes them The
Kansas prohibitory law not only de-
clares that saloons are a public nuisance
but authorizes private citizens as well
as sherifrs and constables to abate those
u11iSances.'
