ARE THEY TOGETHER?
Report That Projected Interur-
ban Lines Have Combined.

Here's something unparalleled in the
history of railroads or trusts; a com
snunity of interest between two rail-
roads, neither one of which owns foot
of track, a single car wheel, or even a
right of way. The two roads which are
understood to be parties to this com
bine" are the Manhattan Interurban and
the Council Grove Interurban. the two
electric roads which are doing a heap Of
figuring nowadays.
Since the Manhattan line tried to get
a franchise from the city council and
failed it has been fndustriously plying
It's saw The managers of the enter
prise have insisted that they have not
given up the project, but were just wait
ing. While they waited, they opened up
negotiations with the Council Grove line,
and it was stated today by a gentleman
who is in close touch with both enter
prises that within a very short time,
both roads, armed with propositions
identically the same in general provis-
ions, will come before the council and
start a fight for franchise rights which
will make the little struggle of the Man
haitian line look like Quaker prayer
meeting.
One thing the two roads will demand
is exemption from the $1,000 bond TO
guarantee the construction of the road.
This will be the chief point of conten-
tion. The Manhattan line failed to get
this concession, and finding that defeat
was inevitable, withdrew before it's or
dinance was brought up and defeated
The ordinance still rests in the hands
of the way and means committee, and
can be called up at any time. It will not be
disturbed until the Council Grove pro-
ject is ready to be presented, and then
the guns of both batteries will open up

WHE average woman does not
number among her luxuries
the services of maid. In our
effort to be elegant nowadays
the term maid has become very
elastic and comprehensive in meaning
The word is often used to describe our
drudge of all work as well as the
trained domestic specialist. The par
ticular maid to whom refer is the one
devoted entirely to madam and her sar-
torial interests. If we all cannot enjoy
the comfort of having our belongings
taken care of by a lady's maid we
can go into training and do the work
for ourselves in q professional manner.
The art of knowing how is invaluable
to the woman of limited wardrobe who
is ambitious to always appear well
dressed.
This open secret lies for the most part
in putting ones things away carefully;
never tumbling them in a drawer or
closet until they have been thoroughly
busted and brushed
It is a great bother, 1 admit, when
one comes home tired out from a day
of social or business duties to put ev-
erything away with care in it's right
place. The impulse is to hang things
round anywhere until tomorrow. Prob
ably you have tried this put off, meth
cd and realize that no neglect is posi-
Bile In the domain of the well groomed
woman. Eternal vigilance here is the
price of a neat, smart appearance.
There are lots of little first aids to
the injured and invaluable wardrobe
labor savers known to the initiated.
For instance, the neat and careful girl
turing a leisure hour runs ribbon in
her lingerie. Her ribbon box contains
the color of ribbon she affects in three
widths. A bodkin is always threaded
in each piece ready to run through the
beading at a moments notice. Gloves
are overlooked after each wearing
carefully mended if necessary, smooth
ed out and put in a glove case between
sachets perfumed with a favorite pow
der.
It is astonishing how few women put
on and take off a glove properly, YET
this has everything to do with its wear
and appearance. To learn the right
way watch an experienced saleswomaI
while she tries a pair on a customer
Invariably she will push the glove OF

thumb. When the glove is removed th'

on the council simultaneously.

on the council simultaneously.
The object of the concerted action is
to expedite the business Of log
rolling, and supply each side with a
club to pound refractory councilmen
into line. North Topeka people who are
interested in the Manhattan line figure
that when the Council Grove line seeks
the right to enter the south part of
town, several south side councilmen
who have opposed the Manhattan line
will need the votes of north side coun
ciImen to carry their plans. Then the
north siders will be in a. position to
dicler for support for the Manhattan
scheme. If the plan succeeds, it is
thought that both franchises will go
through the council with bands play
ing and colors flying, and the opposi-
ton will take to the thickets.
There is a good chance to create
division in the council on the question
of demanding a cash bond to insure the
completion of. the road. Some of the
councilmen have been 'wabbly'' and
are about as likely to go one way as
the other. The two interurban lines
think that by working together, they
can command the support OIL THESE
doubtful members.
THE next you hear of this inter-
urban railway proposition, said the
man who knows today, both roads
will be working together before the
council Each will ask exactly the
same kind of a franchise. and when
the two combine you know what will
happen. It would probably be impos-
sible for each road to succeed single
handed. but together they can carry
their point. ~At least that is the way
the managers have figured it OUT
1t is reported that the Manhattan
line is now figuring on a different route
for its line. Instead of staying on the
north side of the river all the way, it
is possible for the road to cross the
river at Wamego, and use the old
ready graded, between Wamego and
Manhattan, crossing back over the
river at Manhattan. 1t would involve
building two bridges, one at Wamego
and one at Manhattan. but this would
not cost as much as grading a new
right of way between these points.

just Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen
no drugs, no alcohol in it. It is the dis
covery of PAUL., the great German
chemist, who spent 20 years on it. His
object was to get such an excess of
oxygen in staple form into the blood
that no germ could live in any mem
brane or tissue.
Oxygen is life to an animal-the very
source of vitality. We would die in
three minutes without it. In this liquid
form it's effects are exhiIarating purI-
flying, vitalizing. But germs are vege-
tables and this excess of oxygen is
deadly to vegetable matter.

There is nothing better than sage tea
to prevent the hair from falling out.
This should be well rubbed into the
roots three or four times a week Bran
water is also good for the scalp where
there is dandruff- After rubbing it in,
the hair. must be well washed or it
will stick together. A frequent cause
of the hair falling out is a deficient
state of the circulation. Rubbing the
scalp for a short time every night with
the fingers will stimulate circulation.

The animal in some way got down
an old cistern and remained there for

be the thing. The plan was adopted,
the women did the greater part of the
pulling and the mule was finally
rescued without apparent injury.
