City Physician E. ,. Hogeboom Of
Topeka wants 10 run the patent msdi-
sind 'surs curer agents out Of that
city. He blamss them with the prev
Alence Of diphsherla and smallpox and
says that were II not for the sale Of
these supposedly ''curss" that the
ePldsmic-Oi diphtheria and smallpox
could b more easily checked.
S"They ought to run these people
out Of the city who sell sure cures for
diphtheria and smallpUx," said he In
an article In the State Journal.
"They ought to at leaSt leRislate
AgAiuss allowing them to put those

10 that thing more than any other
which keeps uS from tracing down an
epidemic and keeping 1t In check.
People look at the label and buy the
medicine and for, quite 9 while we
6nd out nothing about these cases
existing. By that time the affected
person has exposed others to the
malady and the epidemic is on itS
course. These itinerant iakirS who
sell these sure cures run down anti
toxin. Anti.toxin without question
has done more to check the mortality
Of diphtheria than any other dis
coyery Of recent years in the medical
world Ansi.toxin and the placing Of
tubes 10 the throat OF the persons
affected are the two things which
have brought down the mortality Of
the disease. Before these the per
centage Of fatal cases ran up to 40
and 50 per cent.
ian epidemic OF diphtheria exists
over tie StAte and during the month
Of October 40 cases Of this sickness
were quarautined in Topeka.

don't believe that the closing Of the
schools does any good. 1t lisa great
deal better to keep them open. You
can keep tab oD the children in that
way and traCs the course Of thu. cpl
demiC. When you close the schools
you haven't any way Of keeping tab
on the children and they,are out on
the streets and running about. Il
you could keep them of the streets u
would be ali right but that is impoS'

telling of his experiences with the Jap

rates an interesting little incident that
occurred the day the correspondents
first reached the front They were
quartered in rooms at Dalny which had
been pillaged and desecrated by the
Chinese robbers after the evacuation
by the japanese He says: I'VE were
soon busy trying to make the place

us from headquarters and our party Of
ten was soon split up into messes.

Photographic artist. and myself re-
ceived bread. potatoes and two chick
ems Ricarlton took a great fancy to
one Of the birds and, being tender at
heart, would not have it killed.
In fact, he was quite Buddhist in
many ways. and would destroy only
flies. These insects | have seen him
send, with his unmailed fist. a cozen at
a time, without warning. to the shades
of the blue bottle Bit he spared
chickens, and this Isl eeiai bird learned
to perch on his sh ulddr and to peck
bread from his hand. It was an awk-
ward situation. | took no de4i2ht in the
fowls winning ways and simply want

mind. Ricarlton at last proposed a
compromise.
''He said that he would take no share
of the bird that we had already
doomed, and he would let us have the
first dozen eggs that his chicken
which he had christened Kuroki in
honor of the famous Japanese general
should happen to lay. We agreed to
this arrangement but it was most un-
satisfactory, for, although of course /
feel certain that Ricarlton was no
party to the deception, the wretched
bird turned out to be a rooster"
