MILK FOR SLENDER WOMEN
Combined With Rest It Will Make
Most scrawny of the Sex Plump.

There is no medicine in the world that
will add to a persons weight with the
perfect rest the thinnest of women may
soon become plump by indulging in it.
do you want to learn how to increase
your weight and gain strength and
nerve force in the easiest possible Way2''
asked the plump little woman as she
settled into a corner of the divan for a
comfortable chat. Her listeners, accord
ing to the Brooklyn Eagle. We're half a
dozen women who go in for the strenu-
Gus life to a greater or less degree. and
consequently any one of them can stand
a few extra pounds without inconvenl-
enee.
~Of course was the reply. IN chorus.
Well then, drink milk. nothing but
milk, for months" said the plump one
I've tried it. and I think I am pretty
good illustrate of the effectiveness OF
the milk diet. -Four months ago was
a nervous wreck Couldn't stand any
wrong at home, jumped a foot every
time the door bell rang, and was fast
becoming a nuisance to myself and all
the rest of the family.
Fortunately, I have little common
sense, and my doctor has more. so when
I was ordered to drop everything and
Just rest for awhile did it, with the
result that I have gained 81 pounds In
weight and my health is completely re-
stored.
4 lived on milk, as I told you, and
rested according to directions. spending
my time in a lovely old rest-cure home
up the state. The diet and the rest ef-
fected a cure without any medicine
whatever. I might add, though, that the
milk was not the ordinary decoction
served by the dealers of the metropolis,
but a rich. creamy substance furnished
by the finest brand of Jersey cows.
How hard it was for an active body
like me to rest for Is weeks you siren
uous folks can appreciate, but if you
want to become plump and contented
with the world in general just try my

AN ANTI CIGARETTE BILL.
It Makes Its Biennial Appearance
Today.


An old-tme friend appeared in the
house today. 1t was the anti-cigarette
bill. 1t was introduced by DR.. Farris
of Sumner.
A broad smile spread over the faces
read, and Bale Waggener laid back In
his chair and laughed. I guess it's a
little late for this bill this year he
said.
None but the best of motives it at
tFibuted to Dr. Farris in introducing the
bill. He isn't the kind to whom sinister
motives are generally attributed ana he
has introduced the bill in good faith. He
is a physician and believes cigarettes
are a bad thing. especially for boys
This is his first term in the Legislature
and he did not see why so many MEM
bers smiled when he introduced it, and
he asked a newspaper man what the
trouble was When it was explained to
him he said:
We'll, 1 think it's a good measure just
the same, and it ought to become a law
I did not get the bill up myself, but it
was handed me by my colleague, Mr..
Jeffries, who said he had to go away.
Mr.. Jeffries said somebody gave it to
him, but he couldn't be here. I think
it's a good bill anyway"
This particular bill provides fine OF
from $40 to $50 for selling cigarettes at
all, or imprisonment from ten to twenty
days, or both fine and imprisonment.
The anti-cigarette bill has been used
as a hOldup club in so many former
legislatures that its introduction is ale
ways looked upon as an indication that
somebody is trying to get a line on the
lobby Of the tobacco trust

The tendency Of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures The best
thought of the world is being given
to the subject It IS easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold from attack of
influenza grip. and it has been observ-
ed that this remedy counteracts any ten
dency of these diseases toward pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great preva-
lence of colds and grip in recent years,
and can be relied upon with implicit con-
hdence. Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger IS appre-
hended until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia Be on the safe side and take

HEPRAYEp ZOE TOPEKA.
Chaplain of House Thereby Stirred
Up Johnny King.

Representative King today introduced
the following resolution in the house;
Whereas. Our respected chaplain, the
Rev. A. c. Pyle, in his invocation at
the opening of yesterdays session, pray
ed for the mayor of Topeka, and,
Whereas, Ordinarily we have implicit
faith in the efficacy of the prayers offer
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Pyle and believe
that much good Will come from them,
yet we also realize that in praying for
the mayor of Topeka, he is tackling a
Job too large for the salary involved and
is uselessly consuming the Lords time
by such prayers: therefore, be it
Resolved, That our distinguished
chaplain be requested to limit his sup
plications to those for whom there IS
still a hope of redemption"
Mr.. King suggested that 1t be re-
ferred to the Topeka Ministerial union,
but on motion of Francis it was laid
under the table.

PASSENGER TRAINS PAY.
Statement by B. & o. President De-
med by Officials.

The recent remarks of President Loree
Of the Baltimore & Ohio, to the effect
that the passenger service was the frill
in railroad operations, has brought OUT
much criticism, the opinion being that
he was too harsh in his remarks and
Overstated conditions The statement
has been made by others that the pas
senger business is not a paying Depart
ment on any railroad and that rail-
roads carry people from one place to
another because they must do it. as L
has become customary, and in the COM
petition seek to furnish luxuries thar
serve to make the business less profit
able. Passenger officials of such lines as
the Big -Four, the Vandalia. the Lake
Shore. the Chicago & Northwestern, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the
Missouri Pacific take exceptions to the
statement of the appropriateness of pas
senger traffic as viewed by President
1oree and others who might be named.
They say that, compared with expendi.
lures, passenger receipts may not be
comparable with those from freight
traffic, but that on a fair average no
railroad man can say that passenger
business IS not a paying department. In
view Of the proposed increase in freight
rates the subject of increasing passenger
rates has been considered, but a move
in that direction was thought to be un
wise. b. T. Horner, general passenger
agent of the Nickel Plate. said that if
railroads We're given authority to raise
their rates tomorrow they would just
stay where they are, as the best results
come from that rate which brings the
greatest amount of legitimate travel

TYPHOID FEVER.
Among Civilized People the Disease
Should Be Rare.

OF the ills that flesh IS heir to typhoid
fever is among those most easily avoid
able. Even in the complete civilization
of today it should be Of rare occurrence
and in that age of reason which the
scientific world will recognize as the
true millennium, when common sense
shall prevail it viii no longer vex the
human race. 1t may be said with truth
that every death from this Dreadful
malady is a contribution either from ig
norance or carelessness to the grave
yard. The former is 1nexcusable; the
latter little less than criminal.
Like death, of which dread specter it
is too often the fOrerunner, typhoid fe-
yer is no respecter of persons. T he bar
riers of society do not stop it, nor is
there safety in the isolation which
wealth secures. It's victims are among
the high and low, and in its wide sweep
it gathers in the millionaire of Murray
Hill and the pauper of Hester street, for
the chief distributor Of its germs is the
water we drink.
Al one period or anothe- during each
year it is not improbable thai the wa
ter supply of at least three fOurtns OF
the population eff the United States con-
tains the germ of typhoid, and IN the
late summer and autumn and early
winter months, the drier seasons Of the
year, when springs are low, 50 much
more prevalent is the scourge thar 1t
might well be called the low water fe-
YER In one group of 5000 tabulated
cases one-naff occurred in the autumn
months, 1900 in the summer and 1900 III
the rest of the year.
While it is true that the germ of ty-
phoid may find its way into the system
from other sources than from drinking
water. careful scientific Investigations
have demonstrated beyond the POSSIBLE
ity of doubt that this is the chief agent
of infection. Sreams or lakes. along the
shores of which dense populations exist,
are more polluted, ana therefore more
poisonous. than are the reservoirs from
isolated mountain streams or sparsely
settled watersheds. and yet the germs
of a single case of typhoid in any To-
cality Saay find their way into the
sources of supply and cause widespread
dissemination of the disease.-New York

II can truthfuily say that one package
