It would seem that danger from

to the men, who are the customers
of the business lunches, but that
women ARE also. threatened. To-
the women habits Of eating q. few
bites at many hours of the day
their imminent peril is ascribed.
In a paper read before the
meeting by DR.. Andrews he went
on record with the statement that
stomach liberation from abuses of
the digestive organs, a disease
discovered" by mddical men only
five or six years ago, is more on
the increase than appendicitis,
and is much more dangerous to
the permanency of the human

statistics newly compiled and
tabulated have shown that this
disease has increased about 200
per cent within, the few short
years of it's medical history" said
DR.. Andrews. 1T is, therefore, Of
the greatest Importance that the
medical profession should give the
disease their best attention and
take al proper measures to battle
with it as q new and formidable

New York, April acknowledgements

commissioner for South Africa has been
asked if he would accept an invitation

however. quite possible that Sir Alfred
Miner will not consent He would have
to get Mr. Chamberlain's permission
before accepting such invitation, as a
public banquet would imply pro-
nouncement upon the policy Of the Brit
ish government in South Africa, and it
may be doubted whether the colonial
secretary would deem it opportune for
Sill Alfred Miner to make an important
speech in this country on the South
African question until the storm and
stress of the final phase of the war
have passed away.

NAUTILUS CLUB WORK.
Have Undertaken Task of Furnishing
Holbrook Hall at Washburn.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The ladies of the Nautilus club neigh
borhood club, have interested themselves
in refurnishing Holbrook hall, the girls
dormitory of Washburn college The
ladies believe during a girls college life
she needs pleasant and home-like sur
rOundings because at that time she de-
velops her character If she comes from
a pleasant home. she should still have
refining influence if she does not come
from such a home the greater the need
for such surroundings. This part of the
college has been given less attention
necessarily by the trustees because they
have made every possible effort toward
raising the standard of scholarship Of
the institution The faculty is made up
OF men and women selected from the
best Institutions Of the country and
must be we'll paid to be Hetained. So the
ladies' feel this is their opportunity to do
something directly for the young women
who come to Washburn. We ask the
support of the club ladies' in Topeka
who have manifested their philanthropic
spirit in their public school work and the
sending of the nurse TO Galveston and
other ways The plan Of the Nautilus
club is to refurnish the dormitory, put
in plumbing as there is no such system

In agreeing to insert in the proposed
1sthmian canal treaty a provision estab-

waterway, Secretary Hay has taken ac-
ton which meets with the full approval
of Admiral Dewey and the majority of
naval officers
When told that the president would
pledge the United States to observe the
principle Of neutrality in the convention
under negotiation the admiral ejacu-
lated: splendid. More than a year ago
I said that the canal should be neutral
am more convinced today of the neces-
sity of such action. Erection of fortifi-
cations would make the canal one Of
the prime objectiVes of our enemy's Op-

construction would entail enormous ex-
pense and necessitate constant expendi-
ture to keep them manned and in

for them.

guaranteed by our fleet. The canal is TO

SMUT IN FLAX.
Diseased Condition of the Crop Ore
ates Alarm

St Paul, April ga special from
Fargo, N D. says:
Flax growers in the Northwest have
been alarmed over the diseased condi-
ton of the crop for a year or two and
as a result Of investigation Prof. H. Boil
ley of the North Dakota Agrieulral
college has discovered that the fax plant
is afflicted with a fungus or a parasitic
growth, similar to smut on wheat. The
worst feature is the positive proof that
the fungus remains in the soil for years
and is known to have reappeared after
the land had been cropped in wheat two
ears.
Investigations are now in progress to
discover sorae method of treating the
soil to eradicate the growth, or to treat
the grain as wheat is treated for smut
with formaldehyde.
Prof. Bolley is one of the best author
tiles in the west on treatment of wheat
for smut and was the discoverer of scab
on potatoes and the method of preven-
ton.
