July Grain Inspection.

Topeka, Aug. Estate Grain In
spector Northrup turned $4,000 into
the state treasury. This represents the
fees collected for the inspection of
grain during the month of July. The
expenses of this department for the
month aggregated $4,000, leaving a
surplus of 81, 500 for the month. Dur
ing the last fiscal year the grain de-
partment only lacked 500 of being
self-supporting. This is considered
remarkable in view of the crop failure
last year on account of the drouth.

CHINESE IMPERIAL EDlCT.
IL Wars Onieiais Against Their Old Ex.
tortions.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-The state de.
partment has received an imperial
edict from China, concerning the rails
ing of the war indemnity, which con-
tains what follows
''Edicts have been repeatedly issued
on the subject, instructing the viceroys
and governors to deliberate on the
state of affairs and to devise satisfac-
tory plans for action.
"There must be no oppression or irri-
tation of the people The throne has
pity for the people and does not forget
them, awake or asleep; and, as special
reminder we command the viceroys and
governors to do away with whatever
may cause too much friction in their
plans for raising the indemnity.
"There should not be the least need
ess severity which might lead to trou
BILE. The people should be made to
understand the circumstances, so that
they may be willing to do their duty
gladly.
Concerning the officials in their dis
tricts connected with the likin, who
collect taxes, it is the more necessary
that stop be put to filling their own
pockets, and that they be strictly pro-
hibited from practicing extortion.
ST any are found at their old tricks
only seeking to make profit for them
selves, we command that they be justly
impeached SO that they may be severely
dealt with; there will be no leniency
shown"
With this edict comes proclamation
from Governor Yuan, which forbids all
classes, including the gentry and all
Christians, carrying weapons and that
old scores coming from the Boxer
troubles should not be raked up.

owners and operators of threshing ma
chimes actually at work in the field are

see in this move a scheme to raise the
price of threshing grain. For several
years competition has been so stiff
among threshcrs' that they have made
no money. Many of them have lost
Now they propose to take the other
shoot by combining and try and make
some money at the expense of the
farmers. The name of the trust is the
Threshers' Mutual Protective Associa-
ton. The secretary of state was
sounded as to the proper method the
concern should adopt to get charter.
The secretary checked the matter up
to the insurance superintendent and he
in turn referred it to the attorney gen.
eral for an opinion.

Breathe Through Your Nose.

In all kinds of atmosphere the breath
should only be inhaled through the
nose. An occasional breath of extra
pure air through the mouth may be
good, but in cars and in most offices
and rooms nose breathing is essential.
A second rule is, since so much time is
spent in cars and Offices and rooms In
earning a livelihood and since these
places are overheated and upderventi-
lated-the heating and ventilation be-
ing out of the control of most of US
we must take in fresh air whenever
possible in order that we may restore
the balance. The best times to do this
will be early in the morning, when the
air is freshest, and late at night, when
deep breathing will help us to get sleep.
We may breathe correctly while we
are waiting in a street and especially
where streets meet We can soon form
an automatic habit of breathing prop
erly on such occasions.

Thy Neighbor.
OF DOUGLAS COUNTY

Your neighbor is just as good as you
are. Your neighbor is no coarser,
commoner, or more vulgar than you.
Your neighbor is just as truthful, just
as honest, just as sincere as you, and is
possibly not half as big lying gossip
as you are. Your neighbor is just as
religious, just as virtuous and in every
way has just as good right to inhabit
the earth as you. Your neighbor has
right to eat his pie with a fire shovel if
he likes; has right to attend church
or stay at home, just as he likes; has a
right to punish his children, GO fishing
on Sunday, smoke pipe, keep his face
clean, or do lots of other things, and it
is none of your business; and you are
not appointed, elected or chosen to set
yourself up to judge him or his. You
and your neighbor are made of the
same mud, live in the same sunshine,
are governed by the same laws, and as
long as he attends to his own business
you should attend to yours and when
you set yourself up to gossip, about
your neighbors, or scalawag others,
just because you find someone to listen
to your hypocritical criticisms, you
advertise yourself as a three-story
idiot. Stop lying about your neighbor;
stop speaking unkindly of anyone; at
tend to your own business, while your
neighbor is attending to his, and your
own chances of wearing a crown will
be greatly improved. The hypocrite,
the vile gossips and the assassins of
character will all burn together and if
you don't want to burn with them
stop lying about your neighbor.

Cultivate Tact.

The average man who curses his luck
because he wasn't born with money to
take advantage of his opportunities
could get all the money he wants from
people who have it if be had a small
stock of tact. The youth who hasn't
any friends who have faith in him
could have an army of them If there
was in his makeup a small stock of
tact.
Tact has built more bridges and rail
roads. financed more banks, created
more public regulations and capped
more achievements than all the ability,
talent and genius in the world. More
subtle than money. it acquires posses
sions at less cost Surer than brains,
it achieves bigger things with greater
ease.-New York Press.

When in Haarlem, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls and, without max

anxious to have his portrait painted,
but, as he was in a great hurry, he
could spare but two hours, at the end
of which the portrait must be done.
Halls went to work and finished it, and
Vandyke was much pleased. But por-
trait painting seemed very little
thing, said Vandyke, and he asked Halls
to change places with him. Halls did
so, and as vandyke finished his work
Halls hugged him enthusiastically, say
ing: You are Vandyke. No one but
he can do what you have DONE" And

quainted.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; j; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If you have not tried it. send for free sample.

really less. For that matter, If it is to

Notifying the God.

One Of the odd things the visitor TO
Burma will notice is the large number
of bells about the pagodas. These bells
are usually hung on sacred posts a few
feet above the ground.
They are sweet toned, as all Burmese
bells are, but they are not furnished
with tongues. The worshiper who
comes to pray before the pagoda
strikes one of these bells with a wood
en- mallet This is to attract the atten-
ton of the god.
