Doesn't Believe Robbery Motive.
Il myself do not think that robbery
was the motive Of the man who entered
the fiat. although the fiat was burglarized
several months ago. All of the sflverware
was untouched and letters are scattered
about the room. My personal opinion is
that the man was searching for some
letters.
I do not think that Miss Reese ever
had any gentlemen callers, as I never
saw her with a man during the whole six
months that she has resided in this fat.
She was a very model young woman and
was deep in her thought"

The Many Phases of CataPrlI.
Catarrh may appear in the house
hold in the form of a slight cold or
cough. an attack of Ia grippe or even
hay fever.
Peruna meets these invasions
squarely and repulses the enemy be-
fore it gains a foothold.
Therefore Peruna is household
remedy. Used at the correct time it
often Obviates the necessity of con
tinued dOctOring.
Perhaps in no other way can the
wisdom of economy and foresight be
so forcibly expressed as in keeping on
hand a bottle of Peruna TO protect
the various members of the family
against the encroachments of catarrh.
We have on file thousands of testi-
monials from heads of families, To-
Gated north and south. easS and west
These letters praise Peruna for its
efficient protection of the family
against catarrh.

K. U. SEES VICTORY.
Coach Kennedy. However. Fears Men
May Become OvercOnfident

Lawrence, Kas., Nov. 23-Although
the students at the University of kan

the Thanksgiving day game by a good
score, Coach Kennedy is worried. IF
let this over confident feeling get into
the team we will be beaten by Mis-
souri, You remember how over-conf1-
dence put Kansas out of the second half
of the Washburn game? I'm afraid the
same feeling will be prevalent when we

scared and viii play their best while it
look as though Kansas will feel so
confident of victory that the men will
not try to play until 1t is perhaps too
late MY only hope is that the state

strong next Saturday that the Kansas
team will be thoroughly frightened. If
we go to Kansas City Thanksgiving

There will be very little Kansas
money this year. Usually the students
hoard their change especially to take it
to Kansas City Thanksgiving day to bet
on the game. This year, however, too
many of the students bet that Kansas
would wf71 from Colorado and a good
many more bet that Washburn would
not score on Kansas. On these two
games most Of the surplus cash has
been drawn from the Golfers of the
Lawrence sports. What money there is
to be laid on Kansas will be put at
even money that the Jayhawkers will
win. At Washburn the TOpekans held
back their money until they got odds of
3 and even 4 to 1. This taught the
Kansans lesson and the word has
been passed around not to bet any
thing but even money before 2 o'clock
in the afternoon of Thanksgiving day.
This is an attempt to force the Mis-
sourians to bet even money.

FOOD
NOT MEDICINE.

If all the treatments for
consumption were put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm
provement over the old treat
ment Of rest, fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nouTshment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tent to make that gain. PEG
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion-it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen SCOTS
Emulsion take hold Of a pa
tent and bring about a
change for the better inside
Of a week. It always helps
even the most stubborn cases.

The FRENzIED FINANCIER MAKES
SPECIFIC CHARGES.
IN June Number of EverybOy'S Maga-
zine He Charges VIM. Rockefeller,
Rogers and StiIlman with DeIiber-
ate Fraud, and Gives Dates, Names S
and Details.

The "frenzled" financ ers have accused
carving them out, but they will have to
admit that his article in the June num-
Der Of Everybody's Magazine is specific
enough. He charges Rogers. Stilman
and Rockefeller (Wiiliam) with de!ib-
crate fraud of gigantic proportions. He
not only charges the fraud but he gives
names, dates and details. He declares
that they endorsed his prospectus and
paid for its publication that they agreed
to protect the stock from a decline and
that they in violation Of good faith, put
in bid of their own after the other bids
were opened.
Now what have Rogers, Stillmqn and
Rockefeller to say to this? Will they
admit that they we're engaged in a
swindling operation involving millions
Will they deny it and sue Lawson fer
libel?
The National City bank of New York
city is the largest bank in the United
States, and James stillman is its presi.
dent. The bank discharged one OF its
vice presidents few weeks ago when
the Munroe & Munroe investigation
showed that he was in syndicate organ.

What a sorry spectacle our great finan-
ciers present.! Scarcely one of them Of

scheme. These are the men who talked
