"Why wouldn't it? ?" she asked, in

still one more thing to blow before

DIDN'T GET SATISFACTION.
Rev. w. HI. Layton Has an Interview
With Mr.. Coleman.

Rev. w. H. Layton, pastor of the
Armourdale Central Methodist church
of Kansas City, came to Topeka Mon
day afternoon to talk to the attorney
general about the joint situation in
Kansas City, and the fight on the
drainage law which was started in the
supreme court by the county attorney
of Wyandotte county.
Mr.. Layton told Mr.. Coleman that
County Attorney J. S. Gibson was not
trying to enforce the prohibitory law
in that county, and asked for the ap-
pointment of an assistant attorney
general. Mr.. Coleman told Mr.. Lay
ton to go home and get evidence
against the attorney, and present it to
Governor Hoch.
1t was also claimed by Mr.. Layton
that Gibson was acting on behalf of
the Missouri Pacific railroad in the
fight on the drainage law, and that all
of the people of Wyandotte county
want the law sustained. He asked
that Mr.. Coleman dismiss the suit,
which was brought in the name of the
state. Mr.. Coleman refused to in
terfere.

Closes
owing to the failure of former police
administrations, said Chief Goodwin
today, Mayor Davis has warned me
against making a lot of arrests with
insufficient evidence. The city was
nearly bankrupt by paying the costs of
cases in district court, and it is up to
me to do better. I have got to have
evidence, and 1 am getting 1t. By the
time this fair is over, and we can use

Chief Goodwin believes that he can
close the joints, or at least relegate
them to the back rooms behind locked
doors, providing he can get the cases in
to district court within a reasonable
time.
The city has always met difficulties
in the district court because of the
number of liquor cases which piled I'D
and the great number of arrests made
by the police. Before the cases get a
hearing in the district court a long time
has elapsed. and the officers become
tangled in their testimony concerning
the raid in question. When a place is
raided a dozen times and half a dozen
different men arrested in it, the officer
mas trouble in remembering dates and
incidents which would convince a Jury,
and the average jury is not anxious to
be convinced on liquor case.

How to Make
Children Healthy
Proper Care. Clean Teeth, Clean Skins
HealthfuI Stomachs, Plain
Wholesome Food.

The ills of man or woman are more
often than not the result of improper
care or training in childhood. The
child does not know, and the parent is
Ytoo often careless or negligent and for
this the child must suffer through
grown-up years.
How often do you see a child who
uses the tooth brush properly. yet
many a misshapen mouth comes from
that and many a stomach trouble
comes from bad teeth. This is only
one instance.
How many parents study what their
children should eat. Many cases of
constipation are caused by wrong food.
A gentleman, the publisher of a we'll
known magazine, came into my Office
the other day and in speaking of these
matters said: "Our little girl was bad
Iy constipated We finally took her 70
a well known Sanitarium and they told
us that the breakfast foods we had
been using were to considerable ex-
tent the cause. We tried several of
those recommended by the doctor at
the Sanitarium, but the child didn't
like them, although she improved
somewhat in health. She always was
fonder of Malta-Vita than any other
breakfast food so we got her that She
enjoyed it and after using it a short
time she was completely rid of the
trouble
Now the people who make Malta
Vita do not advertise it as a cure for
constipation, but they do claim and
with facts to back them that it is the
most perfect natural food on the mar
ket, and used regularly will restore to
normal condition any person who is
suffering from arrangement of the di-
gestive apparatus and besides it is just
the best you ever tasted.
Wheat has in it all of the elements
of the human body. Wheat makes
meat Hutchinson, the great British
food expert, says that proteids, water
and little mineral salt will build It's
sue and nothing else will. Wheat is
rich in proteids, almost II per cent
and Malta-Vita is the whole of the
wheat. That's why Malta-Vita makes
muscle. Malta-Vita also makes blood
bone and nerve force because it is all
of the wheat and prepared in such a
way tht 1t is quickly absorbed by the
blood. Malta-Vita Is now 10 cents at
