HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE.
Symptoms of a Very Common
 TroubleP

There is no disease so common in the Tinted States as catarrh because it ap- hears in so many forms and attacks so many different organs.
 It Is a common mistake to suppose that catarrh is confined to the nose and throat. Any inflammation of the mucous membrane wherever located accompanied by abnormal secretions. Is catarrh. Ca tarrh of stomach or bladder. or intestines is nearly as common as nasal catarrh and much more serious, although 1t is true that stomach catarrh and catarrh of other internal organs is the result of neglected nasal catarrh.
 A new remedy has recently appeared which so far as tested seems to be re- naarkably effective in promptly curing catarrh. wherever located The prepara- ton is sold by druggists generally under inc name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and in addition to being very palatable and convenient. possesses extraordinary merit in many cases giving immediate relief from the coughing, hawking and constant clearing of the throat and head, and those symptoms with which every one Is familiar who has ever suffered from colds in the head and throat.
 Catarrh Is simply a continuation of these symptoms until the trouble becomes chronic and grows gradually worse from year to year
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Blood root, red gum and similar anti septics and catarrh specifies. from which if will be seen that no secret is made of the ingredients and also that no mineral poisons are used, as is the case with many well known oatarrh medicines
 For catarrh of the nose, throat. bron- chial tubes for catarrh of stomach, intes- tines or bladder no preparation is so safe and gives such rapid and permanent re- suits as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
 All druggists sell them at soc. for full sized package. You can use them with assurance that you will not contract the cocaine or morphine habit as the results from tais catarrh cure are apparent from the first days use. tu-sat-sun-

Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for colds and la grippe during the past few years, to our knowledge, not single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos.

NO TIME FOR WILD OATS
Urges Preference of Men Over
Women Applicants.
Advantage of Young Men of To
day Over 20 Years Ago.
Push and Energy More Valu-
able Titan Experience.

Major T. J. Anderson, secretary of
the Topeka Commercial club, is making
effort to interest the young business
men of the city in Commercial club
work. In accordance with this plan he
is inviting the preparation of papers on
timely topics to be read by some of the
younger business men who are MEM
bers of the club, at the regular meet
ings.
At the regular March meeting of the
club, S. B. Clapp, the local representa-
tive of a Kansas City Packing COM
pany, read a paper urging the import
ance of employers giving the preference
to male applicants over female appli-
cants for positions. The paper follows:
Il can think of no subject more ap-
propriate at this time than the sphere
in which a young man moves and the
advantages of today, as compared with
twenty years ago
Il have in mind a young man who,
having completed a course in business
college, was successful in securing
position with large corporation as an
office clerk. After a few years he de-
cided Gas all young men should) that

demand at Easter than cut flowers, and
next to then in popularity are fancy
baskets filed with cut flowers. The
baskets are of many shapes.
"A favorite design resembles a small
hamper of lilac rough straw, the cover
held back with a broad satin ribbon tied
in a bow between the hinges. This is
filled with roses or lilies of the valley
standing upright
"A three-cornered. open faced basket
of white and gold straw finished with d
tall, slender handle, is a novelty. The
handle is wound with flowers and Smi-
lax and the flowers in the basket are
arranged to droop gracefully to one
side
"A very beautiful receptacle for VIC
let's is flat tray-like oblong basket
suspended by wide satin ribbon. Wide
ribbons of gauze, satin and taffeta are
again a distinctive feature alike of the
Easter plants and made pieces, prefer
ence being given to white. pink and
mauve."
If Easter spells prosperity to the flower
growers. it is equally a boon to the con-
must send a present of candy Enclosed in
a handsome Easter box and indeed in
medium for the bestowal of a gift really
worth having.
Among the more noticeable of the boxes
is a variety made of a sort of paper mache
in imitation cream and of pale ecru
leather.
Another variety of box is covered with
sattiInwwhite pale blue, pink mauye or
NellOW-and hand painted with MOWERS ana
with birds and foliage
A third style is of ecru silk embellished
with vines and flowers of raised embroid-
cry done with applique segments of silk
and gauze in gay colors
of many shapes, square perhaps having
most admirers Boxes of finely woven,
tinted straw are also included in the dis
play, trimmed on top with artificial flow
erS-
Although less costly than the silvered,
gilded, enameled and jeweled bonbon-
nieres. which are also conspicuous in the
confeotioner's Easter stock, the boxes are
by far the more popular.

county, and the center of the western
half of the state. and a county noted
for its wheat raising. The general gov
efnment having given the state the per-
petual use of 1900 acres of the finest
of wheat land toward building up the
school. which should add a fine building
or addition each year. The state legiS-
lature was more liberal than to the
parent school where it started giving it
$1,000 to put no and equip it's first
building. and $1,000 to carry on the
school for year from July 1st next.
AT that time the summer school will
commence the same as at Emporia
with an excellent corps of teachers,
headed by Prof. Picken and Miss Keller
of the State Normal, and the people OF
Hays nave arranged to give excellent
care, at Emporia prices to 200 to 500
scholars, all the teachers who care to
attend.
The regular fall term will commence
September LIST and give the same three
year course and same studies as at EN-
poria, and the regents want all western
students to attend here and have ceased
allowing mileage to students coming
from over 100 miles as in the past. They
propose to build up the Fit Hays school
for the benefit of the western half of
the state and make a school of which
all may be proud.
The new and first building will he Al

basement, and be built of the stone

a building and loan association. Two
years later there appeared a little
stranger who made their home COM
plete- At this time there seemed moth
ing that could bring them unhappiness,
but naturally his salary was small and
as the young man left his home early
in the morning with parting kiss,
each hoped the time would soon come
when an added income would help them
to better clothe and provide for the
little one and pay for their home.
Their hopes, however, were blasted
by the appearance of a cloud upon the
horizon, small at first, but soon assum-
ing threatening proportions.
lone morning upon his arrival at the
office he was introduced to the proprie-
tors daughter, who had just returned
from school, and was informed that she
would act as his assistant, and he was
requested to give her all possible in
formation pertaining to the business.
1T is unnecessary to state that she
was not in need of the money she would
receive for her services, using it only
as extra spending money.
1T was not long, however, until the
proprietor decided that he could dis
pense with the services of the young
man. and for less money could employ
two young ladies to take his place, and
he was thrown out of employment at
time when it was most needed.
This incident is not an idle tale, but
is an everyday occurrence in the bust
ness world. There are many women
block the line of promotion to young
men but keep them out of employment
as well.
mo business man should object to
assisting a worthy woman in need OF
the necessaries of life, but business
men should adopt the practice of dis
eliminating in the choice of feminine
help between these two classes, favor
ing the latter.
1T might be added here also as a
further principle governing the employ
ment of feminine help, that equal work
merits equal wages. If this principle
obtained in the business world, the
practical result would be the elimina-
ton of the weaker sex, for as between
a competent, manly man and a COM
petent, womanly woman, the average
business man would chose the former,
the salaries being equal
II would not wish to be quoted as
endorsing to the full extent the posi-
ton lately reported by the Pullman
Palace Car company, which absolutely
eliminates all female help from their
system, for the express reason that
feminine help was a hindrance in the
line of promotion for their young men.
For I believe, as before stated, that ex-
ception might be made in favor of the
home supporting women.
And here wish to say that my
