Fine toilet articles are desired
by every discriminating person.
It isn't so much the fancy looks
as it is dependability which is
desirable. When you buy shaw
ing brush, or a hair brush, or
tooth brush, or fountain syringe,
or sponge, or any drug store ar
ticle, you want it to wear so long
that you will actually become at
tached to it. Then it is satisfac-
tory. You like to trade at the
drug store whose goods are of
that dependable quality. We in
vite you to trade with us. You
willlearn that you can rely upon

BUYING RUBIEs m BURMA.
A Transaction Which II untsrsd xntQ

The peculiar business methods
OF oriental merchants are illus.

rubies in Burma. In the examina-
ton Of rubies artificial light is not

number Of small heaps. The first

The buyer and seller then go
through a very peculiar method
of bargaining by signs, or, rather,
grips, in perfect silence. After
agreeing upon the fairness Of the
classification, they join their
right hands, covered with hand
kerchief or the flap of garment,
and by grips and pressures mu-
tually understood among all these
dealers, they make, modify and ac-

sale. The hands are then uncov-

EVILS OF EATING ALONE.
The Digestion Of a Solitary Diner II
Always at a Disad-
vantage.

There are some few happily dis
posed individuals, says the Lon
don Lancet, who can dine alone,
and not eat too fast, nor too much.
nor too little. With the majority
it is different.
The average man puts his novel
or his paper before him and thinks
that he will lengthen out the meal
with due deliberation by reading a
little with, and more between, the
courses. He will just employ his
mind enough to help, and too little
to interfere with indigestion. In
fact, he will provide that gentle
mental accomplishment which
with happier people conversation
gives to a meal. This is your soli-
tary's excellent idea. In reality
he become engrossed in what ha
is reading till, suddenly, finding
his food cold, he demolishes it In
a few mouthfuls: OF else he finds
that he is hungry, and paying no
attention to the book, which he
iiings aside, he rushes through his
food as fast as possible, to plunge
into his arm chair and literature
afterward. In either case the
lonely man must digest at disad-
vantage. For due and easy nutri-
ton, food should be slowly taken
and the mind should not be in
tensely excited during the process.
Every one knows that violent
bodily exercise is bad just after a.
meal, and mental exertion is
equally so. Wise people do not
even argue during or just after
dinner, and observation OF after
dinner speakers neither endure,
themselves nor excite IN theiKI
hearers any severe intellectual ef-
fort. In fact, the experience OK
countless generations, from tho
red Indian of the woods to the
white shirted diners OF modern
party, has perpetuated the lesson
that a man should not eat alone,
nor think much at this time, but
should talk and be talked to while
he feeds. Most people do not think
much when they talk, and talking
is a natural accompaniment OF eat
ing and drinking. How does II
fare with the many solitary.
women OF to-day? No better we
know than with the men, but diff
ferently. Alone or not, man
may generally be trusted at any
time to take food enough.

AGAINST FATHERS WISHES.
Columbia University Refuses to Take
Son From Football List.

New York, Nov. Am interesting
situation has developed in regard to
Freden Duden of the Columbia football
team. His father, NJ. Duden. Is much
opposed to his INDUCING in the game.
and has written a letter to President
Butler of the university setting forth
his reasons for not wishing his son to
play. Among other things the letter
says:
My son. senior in the school of
mines, has to finish his studies and to be
graduated this year. He has lost one
year at the university by being unable
to pass his examinations because of
playing football. and had to take the
same course over again.
7 have now a telegram addressed by
Coach Morley to my son:
Report at Columbia oval at a. m
for football practice How can my son
study when he has to be at football
practice at in the morning and again
at practice after 4 in the afternoon until
late?
Mr.. Morley called at my house last
year, when I had forbidden my son to
play any more football, and told me that
If I would let Fred play the few ter
minal games he would not ask him to
play any more. certainly did not send
my son to the university to learn to play
football, and find it ruins his cOnstitu-
tion. besides the bodily harm he risks
every day.
ct appeal to you to find some ways
and means to get him off the football
team so that he has the necessary time
to study, attend the lectures, and by
so doing graduate in the final examina-
tiOns.'
To this letter the university authori-
ties made the following reply:
when the standing Of a scholar is
uniformly good it is impossible for the
university to take action in such cases.
If a parent desires that his son shall
not pursue football he must persuade
him through other means. Just so long
as the scholarship is maintained at the
proper standing the faculty has no con-
troll over the students action in ath-
letics."

TALK OVER RATE BILL.
CuIIom and Doliver Confer With Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, Nov. 2.@The question
of rsilload rate legislation was co1sld-
cred at length at the White House to-
cay 1T a conference between the pTesi-
dent and Senator'S CuIlom iii AMI
Doiiver (Ia.), two Of the men who are
expected to lead the administration s
fight in the approaching session OF
congress.
The president outlined the measure
he desired to have congress enact, but
neither of his cOnferees would discuss
this beyond saying that in the pres
ticular notifications OF the ideas that
he has already put before the pub
lie.
Senator Dolliver found it neces-
sary to return to his home today but
he will be back in Washington within
a few days to remain until the opening
of congress.
Other members OF the senate COM
nittee on interstate commerce win be
here soon and those favorable to the
administration ide, s will give their
undivided attention to the framing Of
a report setting forth these views
and recommending the legislative form
to be given them.
It was learned today that the report
soon to be underta ken will be present
ed to congress without regard to the
attitude of the committee and that it
will be labelled, even though unoffi-
cially as the presidents views. Wheth-
er the report will be presented by a
majority or a minority is a matter Of
speculation but the belief was ex-
pressed today that a majority of the
Republican mem bers will subscribe to
the administration measure.

WIDOW RECEIVERS CASH.
Mrs Mark Withers Gets Her $3.50
Back by Mail.

Mrs. Mark Withers. of 614 Jefferson
street. received $3.50 by mail Wednes-
day Afternoon. The money was in a
plain envelope. and was addressed
simply to t614 Jefferson street, Tope-
ka''
Mrs Withers, who is the widow of
Mark Withers. who was killed by a
Santa F'e train two years ago, was rob
bed of 1920 Monday afternoon. For
safe keeping she had left the money at
the home of a friend Mrs John Col
Inns OF 629 Jefferson street. Monday
afternoon she went I'D town with Mrs.
Collins, and when they returned the
money was gone and the front door,
which they are sure they locked upon
leaving, was open.
John Collins, who is a barber in the
shop under the National hotel told the
police Of the theft, and seemed anxi-
Gus TO assist the officers in the recovery
OF tne WIDOWS money. The officers
casually remarked that it would be a
good plan for the thief to return the
money, and Mrs. Withers said this
morning that the detectives did not
seem surprised when she notified them
that all but SO of the money had been
returned by mail
The postman on that route received
the envelope containing the money on
his first round. Mrs. Withers was not
at home, and having read of her loss in
the papers, and knowing by the feeling
of the envelope that it contained mon
ey, did not leave it at the house, but
carried it around until she was at home
and then gave it to her.
Mrs. Withers was so glad to receive
the $3.50 that she is not mourning the
loss of the other SO and will charge
she viii keep her own money in the fu-
ture.

SETTLE 1T NEXT SPRING
Question of Paving ON Avenue to Be
Thrown Into Court.

The streets and walks committee
Of the city council recommended to
the city council, at a meeting of that
committee Wednesday afternoon, that
the city engage in a friendly law suit
to determine the question as to wheth-
er repaving Kansas avenue is repairs
or new paving. The whole scheme is
based on the idea that the property
owners in general are liable for the
Improvement and that It is repairs and
not new paving. The Supreme court
will then be given an opportunity OF
deciding whether it is repairs or new
paving at once.
A decision is expected to be arrived
at by February 1 in time for going
ahead with the paving next spring.

Mr.. BARNS WiTHDRAWS
Finds That He Has No Case Against
AIcDermOtt Company.

On the 21st of August T. L. Barns
Instituted proceedings asking for $500
damages against W. L. Logan and A.
NJ. McDermott, charging irregularities
in business transactions relative to
their commission business. Mr.. Barns
has now dismissed this case at his
cost, as he had been convinced that
he had made mistake in having the
suit commenced, and has written the
commission company to that effect as
follows.
sfMcDermott Commission company
Gentlemen: Through a misappre-
hension of the facts and by reason of
an erroneous report which reached me
concerning certain quotations on the

Kansas, a suit in which it was charged
that W. L. Logan and A. NJ. McDer-
mott were operating a bucket shop in
room u OF the Columbian building,
on the north side OF Sixth street, in
the city of Topeka.
Evidence having been adduced to
the contrary, I have caused this suit
to be dismissed without cost to the de-
