Bacteria.
From Golfers Weekly.


Radium destroys germs. but radium costs
three thousand times as much as gold If
a barber puts a fresh towel under the head
of each customer he raises the price of a
shave. If he were compelled to sterilize his
instruments, to the degree undertaken by
one medical barber shop in Paris his fee
would approach the dollar mark. Every
man who smokes puts generous allowance
of germs between his teeth. Uncooked food,
like salads. has the bacteria of the water
with which it Is prepared. Not only are
we unable wholly to avoid the deadly germ,
but many undoubted methods of outwitting
him cost too much in time, money or alb
stentiOn. Some there be who avoid cars
and others the public carriage, from dread
of exchanging germs with occupants. There
are even those who, at the theater, prefer a
box because it promises a species of bac-
terra superior to what is offered in the
stalls. At the opposite extreme are thou
sands who gayly drink from any vessel, and
many who by the use of public towels and
soap exchange honest soil for insidious
beasts. The number Of deaths caused by
carelessness probably surpasses the num-
Der encouraged by worry, but both are
great The best chance belongs to the man
who calmly takes what precautions are
easy and within his means, and omits the
rest without wasting thought. Secure in the
knowledge that death turks in every flow
err and hurts US most in apprehension, he
is observant without tmidity, and careful
without anxiety.

MENELEK AGAINST SLAVERY.
He Forbids His People to Make Slaves
of the Gala Natives.

From the New York Sun.
A few weeks ago King Menelek of Abys-
sinia issued a decree against the slave
trade. 1t is couched in the language of
potentates who have unlimited power to
enforce laws of their own making. The
king says:
BY letter forwarded some time ago to
all the provinces, I forbade traffic in men
of the Gala tribe I also intimated that
those guilty Of this offense would be ex-
communicated from the Christian Church of
Abyssinia. but you refuse to cease making
slaves of the Gala men.
Now beware. You who are taken In the
act of ensiaving the Calais will no longer,
as heretofore, be fined or turned out of the
church. But you will be punished In your
own persons, by which 1 mean you will be
subjected to the penalty of mutilation.
This is certainly one of the most drastic
measures yet taken against slave trading
in Africa. The Gallas are a fine tribe
widely spread over the country south of
Abyssinia. A large part of their territory,
by agreement between Menelek and Great
Britain, now lies within the kings domain.
The Abyssinians, with their guns and su-
perior military skill, have regarded Gala
land as their poachng ground and have in
ficted great hardshfpS upon the natives
whom they robbed frequently, not only Of
their produce, but also of their liberty.
The evil has been increasing. AbySsinians
have seemed to think that the easiest way
to acquire wealth was to make a raid in
Gallaland and carry home a few scores of
natives to sell as slaves. The crimes COM
mitted against this superior tribe have been
the scandal of Menelek's reign. The CALAIS
have been powerless to make effective de-
tense, though they have lost no opportuni-
ty of spearing individual Abyssinians or
very small parties and speedily decamping
to avoid detection.
Years ago the Arabs We're won't to invade
the Gala country and take hundreds of
the natives into slavery. In recent years
however, the Abyssinians have been the
only oppressors.
The injustice done them has been the
more pitiful because as agricuturists and
herdsmen and in the Industrial arts they
are more advanced than any other pagan
people in that part of Africa. They are
famous for fidelity and frankness and are
distinguished by intense love of freedom
and self-government Such is their horror
Of captivity that they no longer regard as
Calais those of their fellows who are drag
ged away into bondage.
In setting his face against the Gala slave
trade Menelek has honored himself; and the
sympathy and interest with which the
world has been watching his effort to con-
solidate and develop his country will be
intensified.

COMMITTEE AT WORK
Planning Levee and Drive
Along Little River
WOULD BE INEXPENSIVE
Dirt Would be Taken From
Islands in River

The committee appointed by Mayor Nc
Lean and the city council at the special
meeting Wednesday evening, yesterday
made trip over the lands along the
Little Arkansas river to see what was
necessary to protect the city from any
recurrence of the flood OF this year. The
committee will report TO the council at
the next meeting
They are considering the plan to build
a drive along the bank of the river from
the head of Riverside park at Eleventh
street to Seventeenth street. This drive
according to the present plan. would be
thirty feet wide and five feet higher than
the present level of the river banks. This
would insure d permanent and effective
dyke against any possible high water in
the river.
This drive is to be under the direction
Of the park commissioners and would
simply be an extension of the river drive
in the park. 1t would be constructed
under ti>e supervision OF the commission
ers. The sides would be planted with
Bermuda grass and d row of trees would
he set OUT on either side. In some places
it would be necessary TO put in piling
to keep the river from washing. but in
the greater part only the grass would be
necessary, as this forms mat OF roots
and stems. which prevents the water car
rying the ground away. All example Of
this may be seen in Central Riverside
park. where the banks were UninjuTed
by the water.
1t will not be a very expensive under
taking TO protect this city from the water.
a number of people living along the river
have announced that they would donate
the necessary ground and it would not
be very expensive il the ground was
condemned. To construct the drive would
cost but a comparatively small sum.
The commissioners would use their sand
boat and remove the islands in the river.
This dirt would be placed on the drive.
it was in the park. The cost will be
but six or eight cents per cubic yard for
hauling the dirt. The drive would be
covered with crushed rock. The levee
would be an effective one. and in a few
years il would become beautiful drive.
nearly five miles long. following the
banks OF the Little Arkansas river.
The city council is determined to build
strong levees along the river and pre-
vent any more floods and it will cost but
little more to make this levee a drive.
Many years ago, during the great flood,
the present levees We're built, but they
have been found inadequate.

YOUR DRUGGISTS PERSONAL
GUARANTEE
Given to Every Purchaser of Hyomei-
Cures Catarrh, or Money Back.


Hyomei is not d patent medicine; Hyo-
mel is not d theoretical concoction;
Hyomei is not the result OF chance. This
unique treatment for the cure of catarrh
and other diseases of the respiratory
organs only came after years Of study
and research. and is the result of scien-
tific knowledge, used in a common sense
way.
Catarrhal germs have their life and pro-
duce their poison in the mucous men,
brane of the air passages. Health cam
not be secured unless these germs are
destroyed, and this cannot be done by
stomach dosing.
Hyomei destroys all catarrhal germs in
the head and air passages. soothes and
heals the mucous membrane. irritated by
catarrhal poison. 1t is the simplest and
most convenient of all remedies for
catarrh.
Inc complete outfit costs but s1.o0. and
consists of a neat inhaler that can be
carried in the purse or vest pocket, a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
II one bottle does not cure. extra bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for SOC.
The druggists have so much faith in
this method Of treatment that they guar
antee Hyomei TO cure catarrh or they will
return the money
Many of the best physicians in Wichita
recognize the scientific value of Hyomei
and prescribe it in all troubles of the res
piratory organs.
Breathe Hyomei for few minutes four
times a day. and your catarrh will soon
be cured. If it is not your druggist will
refund your money without hesitancy.
