Her success in The Wild Rose in
which SIZE ran away with the honors
from the supposed star, Miss Irene

ANOTHER BILLIoN-DOLLAR CONGRESS.
st. Louis Republic:

st. Louis Republics:
Estimates of the total appropriations
of the first session of the Fifty. seventh
Congress vary according to the method
of bookkeeping. Chairman Cannon of
the House Committee on Appropria-
tions says that the total Is $500 ,O93 1897,
if the $50, 600, 900 appropriation for the
isthmian canal Is included.
If the $3.50, 900 600 in bonds authoriz-
ed for the construction of the canal is
added, the total cost will be 81 900, 1913, :
837.
Each member of the House Commit.
tee figures the actual total differently
but it is safe to say that it is billion
dollar session.

mates that the expenses Of this session
exceeded those of the last session OF

Turned In Fees.

At the July meeting of the county
commissioners District Clerk A. w.
Smith turned in To the county treasur.
er S13.73 under the fee and salary law.
This is the first time that the Office has
been self sustaining in our recollection.
The law provides that the District
Clerk shall receive all fees collected I'D
to $500 per gear and that in case Of an
excess he shall receive half of the ex-
cess and the county shall receive the
other half. During the year 1901, there
was charged ST ,144 As, OF which 1927. As
has so far been collected. This leaves
$217 yet to be collected half of which
belongs to the county when it is finally
collected. Of course, there are some
pauper atfidavits and part of it may
never be collected.
This is certainly a remarkable show.
ing and it speaks volumes for our pres
ent clerk. Heretofore instead of the
clerks turning money over to the coun-
ty. the county paid the clerk additional
money, and it Is conceded that bust
ness during 1901 was lighter than it
bad formerly been.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every 9th
er part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutrlment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You may
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, purifies the
blood, and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can set DR.. G. G.

Company's store. Get Green's Specia

The most important ques-
ton which the voter must
decide this fall is whether
or not he wants to en-
dorse the system of legislat-
ing men into Office, adopted
by the republican party or
not. The whole time of the
last legislature was given ov-
er to that kind of legislation.
The election laws, the tax
law and the special printer
laws are fair examples. The
people of Kansas, and especi.
ally the people of Barber
county, must either endorse
that kind of legislation or
they must rebuke it.

Do You Know How to do it?

There is nothing in the question it
self that would seem to be out of the
way; and vet under certain circum-
stances it becomes improper and irk-
some. For instance. it would be i'm
proper to ask a teacher OF our normal
institute if she knew how to compose
letter or if she understands multiplied
ton. It would likewise sound foolish
to ask tailor if he knew how to fit
sleeves to garment; or to ask dress.
maker il she ever made button hole.
All such questions are improper and no
man of good sense asks them. Yet
questions equally improper are often
put to doctors. Is it uncommon for a
physician to be asked if he knows how
to cure sore eyes or dyspepsia? The
writer was more than once asked if he
knew how to set broken bone or
how to cure cancer. This lack of con-
fdence In medical men grew out of the
fact that in this country there are so
many docs" who are not doctors.
Anybody who can dish out a dose of
quinlne or who simply sells drugs COM

1t is plain now why the re-
publican legislature wanted
to disfranchise 100000 vo-
ters. 1t was the only chance
for success with such fellows
as Kelley. A fellow who
comes up $1,000 short in a
small county Office can make
a great record as state treas

stances, it is no wonder that
