civil service commission is that of the

tenant at $1,000 per annum. That is
the position of third lieutenant from
which advancement may be gained to
second lieutenant at 81. 800 first lieu
tenant at 1850 and captain at 81, 500.
A recent act of congress provides that
captains in the revenue cutter service
shall rank with majors in the army

lieutenants with first neutenants and
third lieUtenants with second heuten-
ants This act also provides for the re-

six cabooses 1t is the intention to
build this end of the line as soon as pos
sible to enable the company to carry its
supplies over its own line The work has
been retarded some by the fact that the
harvest has taken a large number of
la boring men. AS soon as the harvest is
over the contractors expect to get all
the help needed.
The company has contracted with the
Western Union Telegraph company, the
American Express company and the
Hamburg steamship line for period of
% years, enabling it to handle business
of all kinds from eastern points to the
oriental countries
A feature of the line that has escaped
the observation of most people is that
Port Stilwell, on the Pacific coast, is at
a point east of Salt Lake City. and is 500
miles shorter than any competing line to
the Pacific coast.

Evidences That Topeka People
Are at It's Mercy.
Five Establishments Increased
Prices to Uniform Scale.
FAMILY RATE RAISED.
Advance of from Three to Five
Cents q Pound.
PrOprietors Claim Coal and
Soap Prices Responsible.

Are the Topeka patrons of the steam
laundries at the mercy of a trust or
combination to raise prices?
There is rumor to that effect and
pretty good evidence to substantiate it.
Last month the prices on family laun-
dry and on some other items were rails
ed by all the Topeka steam laundries
although the laundries in Lawrence, Sa-
lima, Atchison and Junction City have
not found such an advance necessary.
The local laundrymen deny that there
is trust although it is admitted that
all the laundries have adopted a uni
form scale of prices.
Whether there is a laundry trust in
Topeka or not the facts are that at the
time of the flood when for several days
it was impossible for the laundries to
accept work owing to the failure of the
city water supply a meeting of the To-
cal laundrymen was held and an agree
ment entered into for all the laundries
TO remain closed until all could resume
business. When the laundries resumed
work again the new rate went into eff
feet and all the new family laundry lists
were corrected accordingly. The price
for family washing was raised from to
cents pound About the first of June
also the rate was advanced from 10 to
10 cents for mems cotton shirts with COL
lar attached. Other prices are unchans-
ed from those of last summer.
The laundrymen say that the recent
raise on family washing was owing to
a steady advance for the past six or
seven months on all materials from coal
to soap. I'VE had to raise the price or
quit taking that class of work. said E.
M. Cockrell of the White Star laundry.
I'VE had been doing family washing at
a loss for several months and the price
was recently raised two cents a pound
to assure US a fair profit. L don't know
anything about a combination among
the laundries to raise prices. l suppose
the others were like US and had to adj
vance their rates on some things in
order to meet the rise in prices of all
materials. but there was no agreement
so far as know"
At the American Steam laundry, an
employee said: We have raised on fam
lily washing two cents pound during
the past month and 1 believe the other
laundries have done the same. We were
doing the work at less than cost when
did it for three cents IA pound. We
now charge five cents a pound. 1 don't
know whether that is higher or lower
than Lawrence and Atchison laundries
charge. 1t is the uniform price in To-
peka."
laundry said he knew of no agreement
among laundrymen to raise prices. Il
have not talked With any of the other
laundrymen, and 20 not know what they
may have agreed to. Our prices are the
same as heretofore this summer except
on family laundry which we now charge
five cents a pound for
There are five steam laundries in To-
peka, including the Gem Steam laundry
on the north side The Gem has always
washing and has not advanced its price
this summer.

BABY WEATHER
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
Days.

Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of a baby is al
ways anxious for the health of her lit
tie one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly ana
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nec>
essary than ever.
our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The ply
stefan said his digestion was very bad
and that if it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal He is now we'll and getting
very strong ang fieshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life for he
was a very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
I'VE grown-ups in our family all usO
Grape-Nuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that we never
any of us have any coffee ills but are
we'll and strong" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in bal ies or adults is be-
cause the starch of the grain is predi-
gested and does not tax the bowels, nor
fermentlikewhite bread, potatoes and
other forms of starchy food.
