1t is a bad move on the part of the
committee to cut down its levy at the
expense of the public parks of Topeka.
which are just beginning to get a good
start, and are becoming really attrac-
tive. The city could better economic
at some other place. 1t should cut down
on its current expenses If necessary.
The trouble is that the city administra-
ton seems to lack nerve to use the
pruning knife on current expense bills.
In speaking of the work which the
park commission has been able to do
with its 1 mill levy during the past
year, Mr.. Reinisch said today:
II can not give exact figures, because
Mr. Holman is in charge of the books,
cost us just about 5000 for mainten-
ance of the parks which we already
have, without leaving one dollar for i'm
provement.
..Of the $4,000 which We had this last
year, about 81. 500 went into the con-
struction of a new 2ox50 greenhouse, a
service building 16x42 feet, and a water
also built a veranda around the house
at Cages park, for the convenience of
visitors. The grading of the northwest
corner of the park, and the construc-
ton of a pond there 75x200 feet has cost
81. 500. We spent $1,000 in repairs of
flood damage at the city park, and paid
off a $1,000 deficit from last year. The
rest of the money which has been re-
ceived has gone into maintenance ex-
penses.
I'VE now have double the green
house capacity which we had last year,
and can save the city hundreds of dol
lars a year in the cost of its trees and
shrubs. Unless the city keeps up its
levy of 1 mill for park purposes. a
can not be utilized, and will be wasted.
We are now in shape to do the city
some good, and our facilities should not
be curtailed."

Topeka and raises the ante. But this
is another evidence that wnen people
in other parts of the state want the
best they come to Salina to get it. It
is only a few months ago that the
church here raised DIR. Estey's salary
after he had refused call from a ST.
Louis church at. a salary larger than
he was receiving then or now receives,
and if the doctor accepts the call from
the Topeka church it viii be because
of the larger field which it will afford.
Churches as well as pastors are often
benefited by changes after years of the
most pleasant and mutually beneficial
associations, and this system of itin-
erancy has always been one of the
strongest features of one of the leading
churches But the people of Salina are
not yet ready to say that that time
has come when the church would be
benefited by a change such as will prob
ably take place.

THE TEMPLE OF HEALTH
A Kansas City Institution of National
Prominence.

There is an institution on the corner
of Twelfth and Washington streets, in
Kansas City. Mo-, known as the Tenn
pie OF Health, where all manner of dis
eases are successfully treated without
drugs, medicines or surgical operations
This temple was founded by DIR. c. H
Carson, whose career in Kansas City
during the past twenty-five years has
made for him a world wide reputation.
The cures that he has affected among
people of all classes and especially
helpless little children that have been
Drought to him, have made his reputa-
ton second to no man, not even the
famous Viennese surgeon. DR.. Carson
has cured hundreds of little children
and it seems that mis- great work with
these little sufferers has just begun.
DR.. Carson has a method of treatment
that positively cures stomach and heart
disease and all forms of nervous pros
tEation without giving any medicine.
The best people in this country gladly
testify to this fact. Women who suffer
from every kind of weakness-prostra-
ton, general debility, who cannot find
rellef-go TO DR.. Carson and are speed
lily cured. No disgusting local exanina-
ton, no surgical operations, and no
nauseating drugs or medicine given or
used in any case.
Children helpless and deformed-even
infants in their mothers arms; school
boys and girls cured of st. Vitus'
Dance, spasms. measles, scarlet fever
pneumonia, typhoid fever and malaria
and quickly cured after other systems

ed to sight. No method of treatment

as does the method of treatment prac-
uced and given by DR.. Carson at the
Temple of Health.
If your baby is sick take it to DR..
Carson; he will cure it. If your wife
daughter, son or father has poor health
go and try DR.. Carson; after eyery
thing else has failed he will cure Won
In his treatment rooms at his Tenn
pie of Health are great stacks of
crutches, wheel chairs and surgical an
pliances of all kinds left there as evil
dence of what has been done for poor
suffering humanity.

Vin-Seng Tonic
Prevents Typhoid.

You have typhoid fever because the
extreme heat of summer runs you
down and the various organs become
too enfeebled to throw off the impuri-
ties taken into the body. When oyur
stomach liver and bowels are work
ing right you don't have typhoid. Vim
Seng Tonic is a sure preventive of
typhoid, malaria, and all forms of
summer debility. 1t tones up the
stomach, sets the liver actively to
work, and takes the kinks out of the
bowels. That's all there is to being
well in summer: keeping the organs
of assimilation and excretion in first
class working condition. If you do
this the hot weather won't affect you
and neither typhoid nor malaria will
touch YOU.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-07-30
This is what we claim :

If you take Vin-Seng Tonic during
the summer months when you first
begin to feel weak and tired and run
down you won't have fever. We are
so sure of it that we sell Vin-Seng
Tonic under a guarantee. If it doesn' t
help your appetite. build you up and
make you feel entirely well, Wen buy
back all the empty tonic bottles you
bring us at first cost. Wed like to
have you talk this matter over with
your neighbors. We've sold hundreds
of bottles of Tonic right here in To-
peka. If you'll call at the store We'll
be glad to furnish the names of the
people who have taken it. They are
we'll known people, and you will be-
lieve them even if you doubt our adj
vertising.

1t will be observed that the total in
crease in the levy is 215 mills, which
with the deduction of u mill in the
park Improvement levy, leaves a net in
crease of mills.
Three new funds nave been added to
the levy. One is a fund for the pay
ment of $4,000 in bonds which come
due next year. There is already SO, 900
in the sinking fund, and the levy of $40
of a mill Will produce $1,000 more.
Another new fund is to pay the judg-
ment of $4,000 secured by the Topeka
Water company for the South Topeka
hydrant rentals. This levy is IA mills.
There is also a new fund created to
pay off the Roberts judgment of $S25
and a few minor judgments. The COM
mittee figured that Ito of one mill will
be sufficient for the purpose.
An increase of Il of a mill is made in
the levy to pay interest on the city
bonds. This increase is made necessary
because of the issue of SIS, 200 refunding
bonds last year, upon which interest
has to be paid.

MAY HAVE ELECTRICITY
Plan to Furnish Light and Power
 Within Sixty Days

It looks as though Imperial would be given electric lights and power with in sixty days. w: H. Hartshorn was in Los Angeles last week consulting with other members of the Light, Water and Power Company, and it was agreed that a large gasoline engine should be Installed at once to pump domestic water through the town, thus improv- ing the water service, at present de- pending on gravity pressure. This also implies laying larger mains through the town at an early date. With the install lation of the engine, it was thought best to install dynamo to supply electricity, if demand could be found for enough to make it an object.
 When MT. Hartshorn returned to I'm perial and began canvas of the situa- tion, to see how great the demand was for electricity, he very soon had orders for twice as much as the company had supposed possible.
 It is not definitely decided to install the electric plant, but it now seems highly probable that it will be done, and if so sixty days is set for the outside limit of time for the beginning of ser vice.
 The Light, Water and Power Com pany, in preparing for their extensions, has ordered two 10000 gallon tanks to increase the capacity of the water sup ply, and inch malr to conduct water from the power house to Imperial avenue.
