KEEP YOUTH AND BEAUTY.
Relaxation Urged on the Weary and | the Lazy Equally Urged to Co Out and Walk.

Is not your youth, your beauty (and this means your hcalth) worth keep ing?
 Can you with complaisance look for ward to being faded, haggard or peev- ish and ailing at 30 or 35?
 Will you not be frank with yourself now before it is too late-and so
 plan your life that rest period may
 be yours each day? Take time to call your own, when. closeted in your own pretty boudoir ard clad in loose,
 warm dressing gown. you may fling up your windows, indulge in dozen deep restful breaths. lifting the chest and
 head high, and then after taking few
 gentle trunk tufcings to light and
 left-bending and twisting in all direc- tions to keep the waist line supple and
 the figure youthful-fiing the arms up over the head and make great sweep
 ing circles with them to help the cir
 cula.ion at important nerve centers.
 After indulging in few deep knee
 bendings and half a dozen more deep
 breatns as 9 finish, throw yourself on
 your couch-relaxing every muscle and
 driving all thoughts and worries from
 your brain-simply rest mind and
 body. You may even sleep. if you will. for from 20 minutes to an hour.
 This relaxed rest will do you more good than two hours sleep taken un- l,vS dt,r tav, Mime Hebe. in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 But see to it that your window is open g little both top and bottom dur ing your rest and that you have light
 warm covering thrown over you, as you must avoid chill after exercise and during the rest period.
 Again. you who are sick, do not al- ways order your carriage when you have but six or seven blocks to go, for a brisk walk in the open air will help keep you young and is often actually necessary to your health.
 T believe. it to be 2 fact that the so- called rich often fall into dangerously lazy habits through the conveniences and luxuries that their wealth sur- rounds them with.
 And so to the girl who is forced to
 walk from six to ten blocks daily, l say, be thankful, and do not waste your time in envying your wealthy
 neighbor. Fate decrees that you must
 take this life-giving, health-retaining
 exercise each day. When fatigued after trying" day
 or tired out from social duties, throw
 yourself upon a bed or couch and re- main in the first position for five full i minutes without removing hand or foot. The body is suddenly relaxed
 and a sense of compete rest takes the place of the strain that results from being too long upon the feet. Perfect repose may be gained by ly- ing on the flat of the back for half an hour at a time, with hands out stretched. Let the head rest upon a pillow that is not too high If you cannot sleep. close your eyes and pu. body and mind in quiescent state. For an afternoon siesta treatment of this sort is a good pestoreT of roVer-
 worked nerves.

New Medical Science.

Medical climatclogy. a medical writer tells us, is developing into a science It is an American science. for it is in America. where the many types of men are out of their natural habitat. that the habit of seeking a change of climate as a general curesil has become almost universal The kind of change needed is graldally be- coming understood A dry and hrac- ing climate ls not adapted to all per. sons and sunshine is zoo stimulating for many, while damp and fog seem to be necessary for certain nervous pfo- pie and perhaps all blonds. An equa- hle. relaxing climate acts as a sedative in disease of heart and kidneys

of a number of others living along the
right-of-way who hauled on some of the
ties and converted them to their own use
The railroad company made trouble, but
eventually settled all the cases except that
of Billings. The evidence showed that
Billings had compelled the railroad COM
pany to pay him for a fire loss he had
sustained, and that the company deterna-
ined to prosecute him for stealing its ties.
The result Of the prosecution for theft
was complete acquittal for Billings. He
at once brought suit against the Santa
F'e for $4,000 damages. alleging malicious
prosecution.
The jury asked vast number of spe-
cial questions, finding, among other things,
that Billings had been prosecuted by the
railroad company for revenge but when
they came to figure out the amount of
the verdict. they allowed only one dollar.
The court added $50 to this, which the
jury found Billings had expended in de-
Tending himself on the criminal charge.
It also taxed the costs, amounting to 1928,
against the Santa Fe. Billings, however,
felt that such a verdict was entirely I'M
satisfactory, and. contrary to the special
findings in the case, and he therefore has
appealed to the Kansas supreme court,
and will try to secure larger damages for
the injury which he says his character
has sustained.

TOOK EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

Relatives Found 1t Stripped.

Fred and Jesse Fisher and Lee Pen

Belts last night charged with prac-
tically stripping the home of Mrs. NJ
Mckee of 713 North Harrison street Of
its furnishings.
Mrs Mckee went to the country a
couple of weeks ago to visit with the
family of one of her sons and while
there died This fact seems to have
been known to the men who entered
the house and carted off the chairs,
tablesg dishes and everything movable
including the carpet which was on the
floor.
The matter was reported to. the po-
lice and Detective Belts assigned to
the case. Some of the goods were
located at the home of one of the boys
and confession and arrest Of the
other two members of the trio fol-
lowed.
All three of the men arrested have
bad records and have been arrested
many times charged with petty crimes.
When arrested the Fisher brothers had
about two hundred pounds of brass
and castings belonging to the Santa Fe
railroad in their possession and 1t is
not unlikely that after the police are
through with them on this charge that
they wf1I, be turned over to the Santa
Fe authorities.

STANDS PAT ON SUGAR.
Irrigation Congress Opposes Reduction
in Philippine Tariff.

Boise. Idaho, Sept. s.-Governor
Chamberlain, of Oregon, was elected
president of the National Irrigation
congress.
The committee recommended the
following resolution in relation to the
tariff on sugar from the Philippines:
''Inasmuch as the sugar beet indus
try in irrigated America returns to our
farmers an annual revenue of over 20
millions and as the production at home
of the sugar we now import from the
tropics would afford our farmers an
additional annual market for nearly
100 million dollars worth of beets and
as it has been urged that the United
States congress further stimulate the
sugar industry of the Philippine islands

duce.
Therefore we. protest against any

not, is a question of course, for the
legislature to determine upon informa-
ton which VIII make It certain that
no injustice is done. Personally, be-
ieve that this reduction would stimu-
late travel to such an extent as to more
loss they would suffer in the individual
fares. It seems to me- however, that
the reduction Of passenger fares is of
small moment compared with the
necessity for the reimbursement of
freight rates. Everybody paws freight
from necessity, but nobody travels IN
less he wants. to. If it is true, as al
legged. that freight rates in Kansas are
practically the same as they were
twenty years ago, it would certainly
seem as if reduction were in order.

purposes of taxation. there can certain

cordial endorsement of the good woI K
you are doing in crystallizing sentiment
upon the question of primary election

Certainly nobody who believes that the
people should rule can object to any
fair measure which will make 1t posi-
bic for them to do so.
IN the recent session of congress I
voted with much satisfaction for that
provision of the Hepburn bill which
fOrbids issuance Of interstate railroad
passes, except in certain special cases,
and 1 certainly believe 1t would be in
the interest of honest legislation and
clean politics for all the states to adopt
q similar provision. I think Ough.
to say frankly that until the new law
went into effect 1 have followed the
usual custom in accepting free trans

although most Of my transportation
has been paid for by newspaper adver-
Using. and [ do not believe that my
vote on any public measure has ever

have no idea that public officials gem
orally in accepting these so-called
courtesies, have ever felt that they i'm
posed an obligation upon them to cast

worst evil, It seems to me-aside Of
course from the discrimination which
cannot be defended on any ground
growing out of the pass system has
been the temptation 1t has afforded to
railroads to pack conventions in the
interest Of candidates of their choice.
A candidate who could command no
transportation for his friends would
stand comparatively little show in a

could get as much free transportation
as n desired. 1t is certainly not in

government that anything of this SORT
